Finally, football is upon us!

After the Beavers lost last Saturday... I just hope the Eagles do us proud Cory.

I do too, but man our run D is VERY suspect, I fear RG3 and Morris have a field day...

....but finally get to see this Chip Kelly offence.

Your fear is legit.  My Redskins are going to pierce your hearts with an tomahawk!

Is that what pierced RGIII's knee last season? A Shannahawk?

+1

I'm willing to give you +1.

But I want +5 when we win.

[GM Franchise]

Chargers got rid of Norv Turner. Things can only get better after this brilliant move that should've happened three seasons sooner.

[Cory]

I have a gut feeling tho that the Broncos/Ravens is gonna be a snore fest. Oh well, the worst NFL game is still better than the greatest CFL game.

No norv doesn't change they fact you have no oline to protect rivers, no reliable running back, no real #1 or 2 wr lack of defense. Chargers are looking at a top 5 pick this year.

Also. Eagles put up 25 on Monday and lose by at least two touchdowns.

Agreed.  Ryan Matthews isn't the answer at RB.  They let VJax walk, their speedster blew out his knee.  Rivers is always running for his life.

They do have Malcom Floyd and Antonio Gates. Their receiving core is weak because of injuries. Eddie Royal will be a decent slot receiver. Danny Woodhead was a good pick up at RB and will help out with Matthews. O-line is decent. There's worse o-lines out there.

Just ask Jay Cutler

Malcom Floyd equals at best a #2 WR you'd want to improve on, he's hasn't played a full year in three years. Gates is on teh decline, he looked bad all last year. Eddie Royal is eh at best. Woodhead is good, but he's not a guy you want to be the best RB in a committee. 

And no, there aren't any worse o-lines out there.

Can't protect the QB, had a bottom 10 offense last year, had the 6th worst rushing defense, middle of the pack scoring defense. They had alot of needs going into the offseason and I don't understand what people see in Manti Teo. He played behind one of the best DLs in the college, with one of the best NT in the game, then goes against an alabama team that had 3 NFL drafted lineman and he was treated like a redheaded step child. I like the FLuker pick and I like the Allen pick, but they had alot of needs with only 6 picks and one of them was for a QB.

If you're an NFL GM, who on the chargers that isn't a rookie, would you give up more than a third round pick for? Maybe Rivers, but outside of that, not much.

Peyton Manning... wow.
