The OL didn't get mauled until Dec 22 & again at NE in the playoffs. They wore down and the D was struggling. The offense will benefit from a solid punter & return game on 'teams. More consistent punts forced, takeaways on D. Getting Henry back is a big deal. 4 deep in RBs, check. Finishsing strong in Dec - Feb will be the key. It isn't about 'getting mauled' per se, well getting mauled isn't good, but it is about being 'good enough'.... I would say the OL is 'good enough' to accomplish the goal of getting into the PO's, if they stay healthy. The question, or concern, is are they 'good enough' to go far in the PO's. Further than 3 games in ? Cuz we be 2 games in. So you want one more game in. Not exactly impossible.

Getting home field and a bye makes a big difference in that regard. They fell one win short of that goal in 2018 even though they tied for the best record in the conference. It will behoove them to secure that advantage in 2019. The easiest path is always the preferred path, but it is not the only path. Play them as they come, and play until they send you home or hand you the trophy. As Mojo as my witness, if there was a ban yourself button I would have zapped myself 51 times after reading that..................................

They gotta earn their spot all over again. Stop living in the past......

2019 could be a great yr for the Chargers but they gotta do it every week starting vs Colts. Take no prisoners.

Anointing results for this year based off of last year is a gambler's view...... One game at a time, with the current game the most important game. No team has played a game, so every team is just average.......

So tell me, which team is the best and which is the worst........Super Bowl winner, and first pick in the draft.....really easy man, just post it, we are waiting. Projections are just guesses.......I do it for a living, it is not easy to get it right, and in fact we are usually not completely right....ever.

Here, you are one of us brother!
That takes nothing away from your point, projections ARE just guesses. Multi year history on a player or unit is a clue. Not convinced that 1-2 yrs, such as the history on our OL is The Book. C'mon Training Camp!

You can take last season, and the off season, and derive certain things. I think that is headtrip's point. We hardly lost anything. You can say we will be competitive again off of that. You don't think NE will be good ? The Bears defense is back. New Orleans isn't going to win games ? Did the Jets, Buffalo, and Arizona do enough to be really good this year ? No.

You don't think NE will be good ? The Bears defense is back. New Orleans isn't going to win games ? Did the Jets, Buffalo, and Arizona do enough to be really good this year ? No. Pretty much. I can predict, with 80% accuracy, whether or not a team in the top 5 last year will be better than a team in the bottom 5 last year. An astounding feat, I know. That is a certified Headtrip Open Challenge to anyone on the board. I'm willing to put my challenger's reputation at stake. Bring it on peasants.
