Nah, it's pretty much perfect. And, we're fans, why wouldn't we want TV friendly?

We basically get to see every matchup we want to see. Last night was a ton of fun. Next Sunday will be a ton of fun.

Sounds like there are as many Raider fans as Chargers fans at this MNF Chargers home game.

Kinda refreshing to watch two teams fly around and hit each other on defense compared to the vanilla defense the Chiefs play. Hell Renfrow, a WR hits harder than anyone on the Chiefs D.
Also neither one of these teams scare me as a Chiefs fan.

Wait, didn't one of the teams already, oh nvm.

Oh, just say it. You know you want to. Also, you can have Mike Hughes back. Thanks.

It's embarrassing how much of a road game atmosphere the Chargers are playing in at home vs. The Raiders.

Why is it embarrassing? The Raiders have only been in Las Vegas a few years. Their followers in Los Angeles and Oakland (and Cali in general) didn't all move to Las Vegas with them.

Chargers are also new in town.

San Diego isn't too far down the road...but LA is a raiders town.

Ya they interviewed the chargers coach before the game and he was well aware of what the crowd was going to be like. Mentioned they don't expect the fans to just change allegiances, but hopes over time they can earn their support. I thought that was a classy way to think about it rather than think they're entitled to support based on their new location.

Side note: the chargers are a lot better than i expected.

Other than lining the owner(s)’ pockets, Chargers moving to LA made zero sense.

Wanted to go to a KC/SD in San Diego so bad. Football, beach and great weather. Tough to beat. Even though that stadium was supposedly a dump.

Seems to match up with what I saw last night:

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/char ... -pressure/

"We knew once we hit him a few times, he really gets shook," Bosa said, via Daniel Popper of The Athletic. "And you saw on [defensive end Christian Covington's] sack. He was pretty much curling into a ball before we even got back there. Great dude, great player.

"... But we know once you get pressure on him, he kind of shuts down."

Carr has been that way for years. When protected, he's a top 10 QB. When he feels pressure or has been hit around, he's a bottom tier starting QB.

Must be nice to generate pressure.
12th most blitzes in the league.
29th in sacks.

Sadly, we knew it would be an issue and a lot of folks suggested bringing back Houston or signing some others. Clark is something of a debacle in that he represents several other players with his salary.

When Jones and Clark are both healthy, it shows.

Gruden. Yeesh.

Fire him now I guess.
