During this offseason I posted dozens of times that I wanted to keep Rivers, then that I didn't want to draft a QB and we'd be fine with Tyrod Taylor. After Week One, I'd like to publicly admit I was wrong on both of those Navy&Yellow colored takes. I watched the Colts game and truly felt Rivers cost them that game with those two interceptions. I kept thinking " has he been like that for years and my blind loyalty kept me too biased to see it?" More importantly, I watched every minute of the Charger game (I have every week for a decade). I was particularly focused on Tyrod Taylor (he's the Quarterback so it's kinda hard not to, but I really wanted to see the difference a mobile QB gives us after years with PR). As much as I wanted to..., despite my bias..., even with my high-level-homerism... I just could not help but cringe at his play and performance yesterday. His throwing accuracy was awful. He often overthrew his receivers, who were open and could've had big plays if the ball was well thrown. And his running ability was just as bad- his actual running plays went NOWHERE. Neither the designed runs or the scrambles amounted to anything. How bad was that fourth down QB keeper? ? ? I know there are some positive to Taylor's game- the lack of turnovers and some scrambling that kept plays alive, for instance- but I was sorely disappointed after one game against a lowly opponent. I know players and teams will get better as the season rolls on, especially with the lack of a real training camp/preseason. But I really expected a higher starting point for the Chargers and Tyrod Taylor to start from and improve upon. I'm not calling for Herbert just yet, but I feel like if you KNOW one guy isn't the "one" you may as well let the next guy play and determine if he could be the "one". And after one game, I'm finally seeing what many of you saw months ago. This entire board attacked me when I destroyed Tyrod Taylor this offseason, and when I said we would draft a QB, and when I said Herbert. I TOLD you you will never win a SB with him, he is what he is, and he's a back up for a reason, and ...let's not completely revisit ALL of my genius. I sure hope this was a lesson learned by all. You don't kneel because you have to, you kneel because you WANT to.

This offense only saving grace is Pep Hamilton, I expect Steichen to lose his job by mid season.

He was SO solid out there. I think our next best tackler had 5.

I read that Adderly took a bad angle, but wow!! Hopefully a learning moment.

I didn’t realize that Perryman called his shot last week. The Bolts need him to make an impact tomorrow! ___________ The Chargers playing their first game at SoFi Stadium seems like the perfect opportunity to start a new trend against the Chiefs – much like when linebacker Denzel Perryman told his teammates he was going to make a momentum-changing play when the Chargers were tied 13-13 with the Bengals in the fourth quarter last week. Perryman provided a forced fumble that was recovered by the Chargers. “After he did it, he was like, ‘I told you, I told you,’” Hayward said about Perryman. “We needed that. That was one of those momentum things.” www.ocregister.com/chargers-take-on-chiefs-hoping-to-give-themselves-a-better-chance-to-win |

Need to control the clock and to finish the game. For the Bengals that is. Ugly win but a win I will take.
