12 wins will win the west I believe the CHARGERS will get 13
Not a chance. Maybe year 2
@@michaeldc951 OK I just wanted to tell you first of all before you respond. Go look at the schedule for the Chiefs and the Chargers OK and number two the last three defending back to back Super Bowl champion. How did season ended in year THREE thanks
@@AtheerKhadher lol. Only 1 team has done it this century and that’s the patriots. They won their division and lost to a 13-3 colts team that most thought were going to the superbowl. That doesn’t prove your point. It actually makes the exact opposite point.
@@michaeldc951 alright you believe in my coach after this year since you don’t think they can win the west and 12 games
@@AtheerKhadher I think harbaugh is great, but there is nothing in his coaching history that says he is better than Reid(at this point). Be realistic. If we get a wildcard spot that would be an incredible year. Then have another killer offseason and expect the division crown next year
I don’t think we’ll be title contenders THIS season but imo we gotta make it far enough into the playoffs to face the chiefs and keep them from making it to the Super Bowl. We can’t let them threepeat and the only way to stop them is in the divisional or conference (which I understand winning that would mean a trip to the Super Bowl and I don’t think that’s likely either this season) but we can’t trust Buffalo Miami or Baltimore to do the job it’s gotta be us. That would be my Super Bowl this season, shitting on KCs parade 😂
@@AceOfSpades7991 I think this is bery plausible
With shitty coaching all across the board and half of our roster injured with no running game chiefs barely escape us by 3 all these years. We are capable of beating the chiefs with better coaching. Remember except last year every time we play the chiefs we have 7 to 10 points lead especially in the second half, we just gotta a finish better.
I think we go 4-2 in the AFC W, 1-3 in the AFC N, 3-1 in the NFC S, Beat Titans, Beat Patriots, and Cardinals are a trap game, win or lose. (Falcons being another trap game in the south). I’m also okay with swapping one win between the West and North.
Being conservative, that’s a 10 win floor. I’ll say worst case 9 wins, best case 12 wins.
Agreed
To me a playoff birth is a huge victory year 1. Year 2 would be a success if we win a playoff game or two. Year 3 Super Bowl
Lifelong Broncos fan here. Chargers finally have a competent coach for the first time since LT was running wild. They have a real QB and a good line. You can contend with Patty the crybaby and Taylor’s boyfriend just fine in those matchups and end up a wild card. My guess is bolts finish 2, broncos 3, raiders 4, and of course the ref’s favorite team the crybabies 1st again
Let me guess. You wrap those Elway/Manning SB blankies close around yourself @ night, right? Your whiny disrespect deserves every bit of trolling I'm heaping on you. About what's expected from Donkey fans. Respect is earned, not given.
I'm Chiefs fan. I'm hopeful for a 3-peat. However, I lived through the late 70's & 80s Chiefs. I still have PTSD from this team. So, I'm realistic about not getting the 3-peat.
Harbaugh and staff gets us a lot closer. Not a little.
You're not going to be talking like this when we go into the bye undefeated and 2 games up on KC, The upgrade in coaching staff is immense. Harbaugh has every coach on the same page, Staley's DC couldn't wait to get away from him. We have Trestman who's going to be a huge difference maker. He's a mad genius... and now he has Herbert to help design plays around. Minter will be a HC sooner than later, Roman is an underrated OC, Shane Day is back, Bowman, Hardwick... Bosa and Mack didn't take paycuts because they think we 'might' compete for second place. Superbowl should be the expectation this year
I feel it's too early to talk about us winning the division before this team plays a game. If we can double our win total from last year and somehow grab a playoff spot I'll be very happy and the future will be bright. Just having HC Harbaugh working the sideline is worth 10 wins
Still in gents at 49 minutes, lol. Love uz guyz
Play offs [ WILD Card ] this year . 2025 will be the year . Jim's 2nk year & he will have his stamp on the team in year NO # 2 ! Much HIGHER cap space to play with , so get a key FA , that could help us out NEXT year & we will have more COM picks in the draft by next year , also .
We saw you on TFG's Chargers Deep Dive don't do a heel turn now. We are at least a year away. The raiders and broncos will still be nothing special, but our defense actually stinks. We have no answers for the Chiefs this year
I’m so done with you guys tbh lmao. Half kidding, half serious. Please, don’t jump on the “I told you so!” Bandwagon when the Chargers have a chance to lead the division in week 14 vs the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. This team, is near complete. It’s been near complete for years. They just needed the coaching, and the staff. They have those two things now. The Chargers will finish with 12+ wins, and will definitely force the Chiefs to defend their title.
😅🙏 We hope you’re right!!!
Great show again, I BELIEVE if the defense jumps up then the ingredients are there and right to get the WEST, GOD BLESS
How about GRo's offense produces, say run is top 5, and pass is top 15? Is this realistic expectation of GRo's offense?
I think chargers are beating Steelers and the browns both of those teams has a bad QBs. I think we might loose to the falcons and also titans are going to be better than people think.
The problem of course is trying to say anything definitively about a team, any team, from year to year. It's all projection. Last year we were expecting a lot from Michael Davis and Trey Pipkins. Didn't work out so well. The run game was supposed to be better under a new offensive coordinator. I see people making predictions based on 2023 Chargers but they either ignore the Chargers that departed or ignore the Chargers that arrived. And people are ignoring the coaching factor.
Why were we so upset with Staley? Because he had one helluva roster and he crapped the bed. Consider the Chargers lost 10 games last year by one TD or less, 7 of those games by one field goal. How many of those games are W's with the Harbaugh regime? The Bolts have added a ton of coaching staff to help with coaching players up and helping to prevent injuries. Harbaugh has been a winner everywhere he has gone....quickly. Everyone wanted Hortiz to draft Nabors....who did we draft? Alt. This team has picked players in alignment with their philosophy. That is massive.
Will Disley isn't Gerald Everett. Gus isn't Ekeler. McKonckey isn't Allen. But these guys were picked by this coaching staff for a reason. This team is gonna run the ball despite losing Lindsley. They just are. And it's gonna be awesome.
We kept the special teams ace Darius Davis and the coach
We still got Bosa and Mack along with Tuli and Dupree
We upgraded the LB's
We upgraded that O-Line big time
We upgraded and matched with the scheme the RB room. Ekeler was great for us, but not last year. Edwards, Dobbins, Vidal
We lost Keenan Allen but we got Ladd Mc and Chark. Williams isn't even a factor because we never could keep him healthy.
D-Line and DB's did not get any serious upgrades. I can see concern with that. However, this is where I wonder, just how good is Harbaugh's coaching staff, and just how bad was Staley?
I think we can roll the Raiders and the Broncos twice. Can't say we'll beat KC until we do it but we've never been closer. I expect this team in the playoffs next year.
I'm in NC. Where can I send a donation to this San Diego hoopla?
For the last couple of years I’ve been telling myself this is the year. I’m telling myself that again this year. And if it doesn’t work, then I’ll try the George Constanza method. Does what I think determine the outcome of NFL games? Absolutely not. Keep hope alive!
If the run game is in the top 15, all aspects of this team will benefit, improve, and be effective.
Dan Jake, the Chiefs schedule will make you a believer this year😅😅😅😅
Take it for whatever it's worth, but, Jim Harbaugh is 2-0 vs Andy Reid. 2011 49ers @ Eagles 24-23 and 2014 Chiefs @ 49ers 22-17.
As good as the Chiefs are, I don’t wanna give them too many Gimme wins in their schedule prediction. They I’m going to say that the Rams, Cowboys, Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Bills, Texans, and 49ers are not gimme wins. That gives a floor of 9 wins. If they win half of the ones that aren’t gimme, that’s 13 wins.
Worst case I see like 11..
Your entire show is about head coaches. The reason the Chiefs won it all last year is Andy Reed. He knew he could not ride the offense. And can the Chargers win the West?? I personally think they can. I think Jim Harbaugh would be the reason why. Hortiz is also in that conversation. It is not a quick fix. It is a style of playing NFL. football.. This team will win 12 games.
I think the raiders are all smoke and no fire. Pearce is Staley 2.0. They have below average qb’s behind a below average O-line. Who do they hire? The bears previous OC. Watch the bears O-line last season and convince the raiders won’t be a paper tiger.. Patrick graham has got their defense looking respectable but that’s only gonna win them games against bad teams
Aiden O'Connell and Gardner minshew. The Raiders are comically ass
Come On MAN!!!! How can you say that they’re even Super Bowl champs when the referees cheated for them over and over again!!!!!! How can anyone call themselves legit! When the NFL stands for “THE NATIONAL FIXED LEAGUE”!
You got this wrong what are you doing? The Chiefs will play the Bengals week two
You are so incompetent you don't even have the right schedule
Thanks for the watch!
