Why are the Chargers playing if they're locked in at the 5th seed?

Idk, Jax already has an extra day of rest on them, seems dumb to play Herbert in a worthless game against Denver

I wouldn't keep them in and risk injury. Imagine Herbert going down in a meaningless game before the playoffs.

Hopefully they take them out at halftime. We are still in good shape at 5 but would rather be at 4.

 

SF Is up 14-6

[chickenMan]

Wow the Broncos are an awful team. Maybe even worse than us

Richardson is a project.  Levis isn’t a finished project yet (nor should he be he will be a rookie) but he’s NFL ready.

Watch Ballard trade back to 10 and draft Anthony Richardson.

And which QB should Colts get then or want a year of Sam?

I know we need a QB but I’m not very comfortable on spending a top 5 pick and really not comfortable sending the Bears a future 1st rounder for a QB that may be a bust.Good chance our 1st round pick will be top 10 next year no matter what happens in this draft.I don’t think the Colts are in the position to be giving up any high draft picks for the next few years.

Very possible. He may not be there at 10.

When would you be comfy. If we did this we would never take a QB. Every QB is a risk.

Lol I’d bet against it. Their biggest problem isn’t even coaching

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Chargers going to take a big lead and pull starters and Denver won’t have a chance to come back being down so much lol.

Denver only plays offense against KC apparently

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Another reason to trade up with bears is to protect yourself from Seahawks in case they decide to take QB. If you don’t then Texans and Seahawks could take a QB.

I kinda want to see it happen... just to watch the meltdown here if nothing else  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Denver is on the move. Hopefully they score here.

14-12 SF. Cardinals playing tough and hanging in there.

Haha. That’s what he was rooting for…that extra 100-200 in draft trade chart points. That’s a third round pick!

 

I think they are trading up. Ballard’s got that CHI connection is going call in a favor with Poles, so it won’t be especially painful.

 

Need to get up to 4 so CHI can still get Anderson or Carter.

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Keep a eye on SF pulling starters. Eagles up 13-0 and giants didn’t play starters today.

I don’t agree in trading up and giving up draft picks,but I have a bad feeling Ballard will trade up and give up a kings ransom to do so to get a QB..But if we give up any 1st round picks to do so we will be getting fleeced big time and Ballard should be fired immediately.Why not just wait until the 2nd round and take Hooker;I personally don’t think hes that much worse than the QBs expected to go top 5.

What if Ballard is gone?   So much for the connection.

I have a feeling Ballard is not the GM after tomorrow.

14-10 chargers

I could see the bears not wanting to lose out on Carter or the DE.  I could also see them trading down with Houston then trading down again with us or someone else that is qb needy 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The way Geno smith is playing today I wouldn’t trust Seattle not taking a QB.

Seahawks will get QB at 4 as Smith is 32. 5 not looking so good for us to get QB.

That’s why I said we are going to have to trade up if broncos lose this game.

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

I really believe that Lovie Smith knows he is getting fired so he took the 1st overall pick with him

I agree with your thoughts. I do not see Ballard giving up a Ransome for moving up unless he thinks one of the Qbs is his guy. If you think your franchise Qb is there you pull the trigger if you can move up you go get your guy. You don't do it just to be drafting a position of need.

I could see them franchising him just to make sure this season wasn’t a fluke before giving him a big contract.  So I think them drafting a quarterback is definitely a possibility.

[JColts72]

I'm mentally prepared for Ballard trading down and not even getting a QB.

Bears can easily get Texans 2 and 12 as Seattle has 3 and 20? These 2teams will get Young and CJ perhaps?

[JediXMan]

Mike Williams and Bosa both injured yeah dumb  to play in this meaningless game for the Chargers.

I have no problem with Levis if that happens.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

17-10 chargers. We will see if they pull started at halftime.

21-13 SF

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Woah Denver about to tie going into halftime.

TD Denver.

You think this even though Irsay has recently said multiple times that Ballard will be the GM next year….

Really. Boss just got back off IR. It’s all tied hopefully they pull starters at halftime.

I don’t care what Irsay says. He also said Reich was safe multiple times.
