I think some injuries can be attributed to the artificial turf being used. Two high profile achilles injuries already this season.

That turf needs to be banned. And for the life of me I don't understand why they put it in SoFi. It's California, for crying out loud.
They need to fire their GM and coach as well. At least Davis acknowledged it.
When the Raiders left Oakland, that team was never the same.
A bad Oakland team was still tough. Current Vegas Raiders.....flat
out terrible. At least they dumped both Coach and GM.

Raiders clean house: McDaniels, GM, OC all fired
The Raiders fired coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler amid a 3-5 start to the season. Linebackers coach Antonio Pierce has been named interim coach.

The Raiders will be better without McDaniels (another Belicheat crony who's done nothing in the NFL without cheating). And Denver is improving.
I'm sure Chainy's planning the parade... but he's always planning the parade.
I was switching on and off the MNF game between the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. At 1:55 left , Buffalo led by one point, 22-21. I switched to another station. Why ? Because I knew what was going to happen. It's a scripted production. Not too exciting to me.
--------------------------------------
On the ensuing drive, the Broncos would take on the pressure of the Bills defense. Wilson found a way to draw a pass interference penalty on a long pass attempt. Will Lutz would miss the initial 41-yard field goal, but the Bills would be called for too many men on the field. Lutz would make the 36-yard field goal to win.

Buffalo's coach helped by calling an all-out blitz on 3rd & 10 at midfield after Payton and Wilson had a timeout to plan for it. McDermott has Norv and Marty written all over him. They'll never win with him.
Think it’s more Allen than him. He’s been a turnover machine this season. Mahomes lives in his head.
Think a lot of Allen's struggles have to do with downgrading to Dorsey at OC. Word is that McDermott also started meddling with the offense (despite that not being his area of expertise) after Daboll left. They've also neglected the offense and pumped all the money and resources into the defense to make McD look better, hoping that Allen could paper over the flaws.
I also wouldn't be surprised if McDermott lost the players, including Allen, after 13 Seconds.
They need an offense-minded HC. Even if McDermott wasn't a Marty-esque master of panic in late-game situations, it would still be too hard to win with a defense-first guy like him in the modern league. Ben Johnson would have them right back up there with the contenders.

I had a feeling when the League and City sold out to the owner to pay for the
new stadium with vision of the Super Bowls in their heads, they'd be screwed,
just like all the true Charger fans.
The Chuggers East. Should of made owner put up the cash.

Yeah this part, and that attitude is a large part of why there is not now nor will there likely ever will be another NFL team in SD.Read what other cities said, in regards to Buffalo owners threats to move to other cities,

FAQ: A closer look at how the Buffalo Bills secured their new stadium
After several attempts, the ink is finally dry on the Bills' new stadium project.
Hochul, who said in April 2022 the Bills had been "reached out" to by other cities, mentioned San Diego. The Chargers, who had played in San Diego since 1961, announced their relocation to Los Angeles in January 2017, after a new downtown stadium was voted down. SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, home of the Chargers and Rams, was entirely privately funded ahead of its September 2020 opening.
"I'm sure you're aware of the 20-year saga with the Chargers," Rachel Laing, director of communications for the office of San Diego mayor Todd Gloria, said in an email to ESPN. "If we wouldn't build a publicly funded stadium for them, we surely wouldn't do it for a new team."
Laing said that not only did San Diego not attempt to get the Bills to move west, the city didn't even contemplate it during the current mayoral administration, in place since December 2020.
I'm glad the city's not trying to steal another city's team with decades of history after having it done to them. Expansion is the only way to get a team back that would feel right.

well if they can't win fairly or even with the refs helping them, why not hire a cheater for HC. That old fart should just retire.
There's no way in hell the Spani hire anything other than a first-time head coach.
Maybe this is the season the remaining fan base accepts reality: this is a family-owned business. They don't give a shit about winning anything. Does it look like they care that their own team plays 17 away games? All they care about is that they're making money. And an experienced head coach would just be an added expense taking money out of their paychecks.
These idiots have no shame. They don't even care that they're the laughing stock of the NFL. As long as they're making money, they couldn't care less.

The media really knows nothing at all about the Deanos, they just slobber all over them because Goodell tells them to.
Can anyone imagine Belicheat deferring to Johnny Boy on roster moves? Didn't think so. And that's how you know this is nonsense.
Even if he did somehow take the job, it'd be a glorified retirement gig where he's just milking them for the money. He's 71 years old and the game's passed him by.

First and foremost, I am against corporate welfare. Especially, a stadium that is used maybe 15 times a year. The bills stadium will be around 1.5 billiom when completed. Works out to around 33 million dollars per game. The stadium is completely publicly funded. The bills will contribute a total of 100 million dollars over 30 years and the bills get to decide where the money goes each year.
To fund the stadium the New York State government foight in court the local Sanea nation tribe and won over 560 million dollars. The governor allocated 435 million to fund the stadium.
Essentially, the governer and the nfl are stealing from the American indians again. At least, use the money to help the local communities. Fucking ridiculous.
San Diego recently has built several hospitals for over a billion dollars, upgrading local schools and other worthy causes.
I have no problem leasing some land to a sports team at 1 $ per year but they can build their stadium/arena.
Lmfao.
And I heard another rumor that Dean spanos will sell the team so they can move it back to Sam Diego.
Here you go Chuggers, right up your alley. Last line in the article:

You can try and claim this is only the Bengals but look at any team in the 'new' NFL and you'll see no tackling at all and defenses just try and grab the runner and wrestle them to the ground. Plus, they should eliminate the phony baloney pass interference penalty. Let players grab anywhere. Big deal, receiver will be open anyway and you night actually have a contest. Maybe. Probably not.

Belichick makes $20 million annual salary. Staley makes $4 million.
Thes Spanos Span.
Ha ha...thats because Kraft pays out an amount equal to deans annual salary for happy endings while dean jacks himself off just so he can still afford to pay Kinky Kroenke one dollar rent each year.
I am convinced that Kroenke has the Rams' Lombardi in a conspicuous place where Dean has to walk by it on his way to his office every day.
FUdean doesn’t give a shiit. He’ll sell that Fuking joke of a team for billions. Good for him. Doubt that pos ever sets foot in San Diego again
