The Chargers had no problem putting points on the board last year. I do not see it as an issue this year either. Especially with a rebuilt o-line. It was defensive collapse in the second half and special team snafu's that cost games. Staley has made a point to address those failures. Bolts win 24-14. NE beat us 45-0 at home in '20. They'll be back in '21. I'm particularly curious to see Staley vs BB. Lynn's team was totally and completely dominated.

It’s only his second season as a Chargers reporter, but he has the fan base pegged!

The defence is healthy, so they can handle WFT's offence.....
The offence will be new, and interesting as heck.....but Herbert is quite the talent. Even if Bulaga and Ekeler are both out, the talent is still really solid. Scoring will come down to play calling, which will be that 'interesting' part I mentioned earlier.
Chargers 24.....WFT.....17

Sam Farmer of the LA Times picks WFT 27-23. Used to think he was smart I don’t agree with him but I can certainly understand why so many people are picking washington. Washington is an ascending team that gave the superbowl champs a run for their money in the playoffs last year. They did that despite a bad situation at quarterback, their quarterback situation is improved from last year so yeah, I can see why they’d pick washington. Washington is at home and the chargers have a ton of questions to answer, new coach, new offense, new, offensive line, new defensive scheme etc. I think it’ll be a defensive battle and that the chargers find a way to pull out a one score win. I would take the under on this one

You bring up a good point, last year nobody had a preseason but what this team had last year was continuity, even with PR leaving they still had a lot of people that had been playing together for a couple years in a familiar system.

I want to see them come out and play hard, play sharp, and tackle, win or lose. I want to see them put together the pieces and show us what they are building. Then we’ll have a better idea what staley’s era is going to look like. Even if they make mistakes as long as they are playing full speed decisive football it will be very encouraging going forward.
