Sorry for Derek Carr, he didn't deserve that injury after the season he's had.
Absolutely gutted and whilst we are still very much in the hunt, it's an almighty knock and one I'm not sure we will ultimately recover from. A lot of pressure on McGloin and perhaps with still a regular season game against the Bronco's might just get him (and our offence under him) in the groove - I bloody hope so!

As for fantasy, well done Hutch - you absolutely smashed me in the end albeit I totally forgot about taking Gordon out after holding out hope he'd ply against the Browns but would have likely been in vain after Rodgers smashing it for you. Congrats and looking forward to hopefully going one better next season.

Well done for a great season Felmani. An excellent draft by you, hitting on all of those top four picks, very impressive. David Johnson led the way for me, LT cheat player of old! and Rodgers has really come good recently. Another enjoyable season.

Can't believe they made it after starting 1-4. Gase has a great shot of being coach of the year.

Same. Titans played them early in the season, and the Dolphins was one of the worst (non Titans!) performance I've seen for several years. Their O-Line was diabolical. I guess they've really turned things around, looking at their record!

Their O-line that day was really decimated. The 3 best O-linemen were all injured and two of the guys who started for them have been desperate for us any time they played and were cut a day or two after the game. Offensively the Titans just bullied them and we're pretty bad at defending the run, something you're lot do really well.

When all 5 linemen are starting we've a excellent offensive line. Unfortunately our two best Pouncey, our centre, and Albert, our LT, often pick up injuries (Albert has been playing with a dislocated wrist the last month). We have three O-linemen that one beat writer nicknamed the Unicorns (Our LT, C and RT). When they all start and finish a game over the last couple of years, the Dolphins are 10-1, average 159 rushing yards per game and Tannehill has a 106.3 passer rating.

Yeah, I had heard that you'd had some injuries on the Line to be fair. But was still shocked at the level of play from the depth guys. Good luck in the playoffs!

Well, a bad weekend but at least we face the Texans so some respite I guess.

Serious question marks over whether we stick with McGloin or trust Cook now.

Fair play to the Brocketship. Played well in relief of Savage vs Tennessee and was good today vs the Raiders. On to the next round. Either Chiefs or the Patriots depending on the Dolphins/Steelers result.

Cook was hot garbage
A sobering end to our season last night although in reality our season ended when 4 went down against the Chargers.

Young team though and we'll be around for a good few years yet in the upper echelons - whether we look to change Norton and/or Musgrave might be something we look at post season but we'll be back stronger next year.

Chargers to LA. Apparently Stub Hub Center(the LA Galaxy's soccer specific stadium that seats 27k) is being strongly considered as the home field(at least temporarily). Lolz

On the upside, I think this opens the door to the Raiders moving to Vegas which I think alot of people in the America would welcome, well outside of Oakland fans and LA fans that wanted the team back in LA.

Also, Las Vegas having 2 professional sports franchises should open up a major discussion about legalizing gambling here which would only be a good thing

Why does LA need two teams? Because it worked so well the last time?
Roger Goodell smells money. They'll both be gone in 20 or so years. The market really isnt there no matter how much he thinks it is.

Oh and it's 2 years in the 27k seat Stub Hub Center lmfao:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I find myself in something of a quandary, I'm a Chargers fan for no reason other than LT and Gates were tearing it up when I was really getting into American Football. The move to LA doesn't sit right with me, and I am considering a switch of allegiances as I won't feel any affiliation with the LA Chargers, but at the same time there are players that I root for and identify with - Gates is an all time great, Rivers is a real warrior at QB and Perryman is a thumper at MLB which is the position I play for my local team

Any other Chargers fans on here (a long shot I know) having similar conflicting emotions at this time?
