Good afternoon StormCloud!
The Chargers are hosting the Buccaneers at SoFi Stadium today as they continue to right for their bid into the postseason.
The Bucs have had an up-and-down season thus far, anchored to Baker’s inconsistent play and injury-ravaged offense. With Mike Evans healthy again, they have a number of threats on the offensive side of the ball that will keep Jesse Minter’s defense honest, but the bigger concern for the Chargers is the extent of their own injury woes.
The offense has been sputtering a bit for the Chargers with J.K. Dobbins out of the lineup and Ladd McConkey fighting through multiple injuries. Making matters worse. Justin Herbert’s lower body has had multiple injuries compiled onto the ailments he had worked through earlier in the season, putting his mobility and burst in question heading into this game.
The biggest blessing Los Angeles can hope for is a break-out performance from any wide receiver on the roster outside of Ladd McConkey. Ladd has been fed heavy volume over the last few weeks because of his ability to beat coverage and gain separation, something we haven’t seen from any of his peers outside of broken coverages and schemed wins. Whether it’s Quentin Johnston getting some underneath volume and winning with some YAC, Joshua Palmer resembling the WR2 we thought he could develop into, or even Derius Davis getting some extra usage – growth from this growth would be incredibly encouraging for a post season run.
Looking at the lastest injury report, Will Dissly and Jalen Reagor are confirmed “OUT’s” and Denzel Perryman and Ladd McConkey are listed as “Questionable” and likely are game-time decisions.
Sound off in the comments, StormCloud… how are you feeling about this game?!
Weird. Davis went down on first contact. Haven’t seen that before.
Yeah that looked funny. He was also complaining right after the play
Grind it, boys. Squeeze the air out of that ball.
OK, not bad. Next time it’s no points.
Next time hell. Let’s get some pressure on Mayfield
This feels like a win
Easy dude….I’m a little superstitious. lol
Oh I am right there with you!
For that drive I mean. I have been a Chargers fan long enough to know that wins are very simply never guaranteed for this team
OK good stop.
Fulton!
OK Fulton…good play.
End of one. That was fast.
very….still on beer 1.
Come on Joey…
The rocks in Bosa’s head must be so heavy.
Yeah but Derwin is the one with the “heavy” salary. 🙄
Dammit Bosa….same old shit.
Yeah, it seems to be his signature move
Turnover time.
Fulton is getting his azz roasted.
I hate to say this today, and I have no idea how or why I like certain players, but I like Baker. I hope he eats shit this game, but I like that dude.
Dammit!!!
OK, stop em right here. 3rd and long.
or not
That was a pretty clear hold. Glad to see it called
Got to get the ball back and grind. The Bucs offense, even with injuries, are too good to leave on the field.
Defense not looking as organized as per usual. Lot’s players looking around right at the snap.
Mayfield needs to get his bell rung.
Damn,we arenl\’t doing much to stop Baker freaking Mayfield.
Fulton may be in for a long day.
Go Indy!!!
Last year’s draft:
Starting RT
Stud WR
Two fifth round starters at CB
Unknowns at LB and DT
Flyers at WR
Great haul. Get four more starters this coming year and that’s eight of 22 starters. I smell your tailwinds, Telesco, and I plug my nose toward them.
Can’t wait for this year!!
Gotta keep Ladd off that shoulder, though.
God damn Ladd is so easy to root for. What a player!
Ladd be thy name!
My Ladd!!!
Sometimes you’re lucky.
I’ll take that.
3rd and long….don’t stall here, offense.
Was that a horse collar??
Yep.
Sure as hell looked like one
Crowd thought so
QJ! Let this be the game, my man.
Would love to see it. I have to admit I laughed a bit when the commentator said he has been a good deep ball threat this year 🙂
Ha. Listening to Chargers radio. They don’t speak of such foolishness.
Yeah, who’s commenting? At least one of them is an idiot.
Daniel Jeremiah and Money Smith. I really like them as a team.
Well one is saying some foolish shit.
Vita Vea is gonna abuse our weak assed IOL.
Leviska Shenault started as WR2, for those of you keeping score at home.
That McConkey guy is ok.
Herbert’s got a few rolls of tape on his ankle.
My stream isn’t working. I might be forced to watch this over redzone updates 🤬🤬🤬
Chargers.com audio. Best way to go.
I hear the Gus Bus revving its engines.
Let’s see the Herbert to Smartt pipeline wide fucking open.
Feels like ages since I was able to watch a game live. Not a great start let’s hope the offense is ready for a barnburner!
My seat’s not even warm yet.
OK, answer back offense. None of this slumberfest.
Great. Playing from behind already.
That was the easiest TD score drive I’ve seen in a while.
Way to easy
That Tampa injury list looks like the white pages.
Well shit….
Just walked in….bolt the fuck up!!
This game is going to be a slobber fest. 12-10 is my guess. We won’t be singing praises after this one, I’m still hoping for a win.
Rats. Perryman’s out.
