CD Newsletter Week 13

Daniel Jones is signing with the Vikings. 

Great pick up and insurance policy. 

Watch the dude get better in Kevin O'Connell's system, even as a backup. 

Maybe they install some specialty plays for him where he can use his legs. That's what good coaches do.

Makes me wonder how much of that contract did the Giants eat? Jones cleared waivers.

Oh, I had a rough idea about 1H/2H splits, but didn't know the exact disparity. This is why many of my Chargers bets in the past have been on the 1H. I thought your bet was a great one when I saw it.

As for Jim Harbaugh, you could be correct, but keep in mind he doesn't have the benefit of the type of roster he's envisioned for his team. He and Joe Hortiz (GM) had limited cap to play with (a reason why Allen and Williams had to take a pay cut or go) this offseason, and also had to restructure Bosa (who was all too willing to do it, surprisingly) and Mack just to maintain a decent team.

Next year they have plenty of FA money to play with. They have to extend Rayshawn Slater, or at least let him play under the 5th year tag for now, and deal with the money on the extension the next few years. But aside from that, they should be able to sign a Tier 1 fa and a Tier 2, along with re-signing some of their own players. It'll be interesting to see how Hortiz approaches this because he's been able to find a lot of diamonds in the rough with his signings and trade (Teair Tart, POOOOOOONA Ford, Elijah Molden, Kristian Fulton, Will Dissley -- not a diamond in the rough, more like a pearl found on the ground with that one), and had an awesome draft (Joe Alt, Ladd McConkey, Cam Hart, and Tarheeb Still, mainly).

But back to the point. Harbaugh doesn't have much of a run game beyond JK Dobbins, and we held the Ravens to a tight game while he was in. The complexion of the game would've looked different had Dobbins finished the game and QJ didn't drop all 4 of his freakin balls thrown his way. (There were two that would've easily extended drives, and the last drop in which he had about 20 yards he could've taken with it. Granted one was a tough one.)

With that said, you can take my homerism with a grain of salt, but I'm excited for the roster next season -- when we're able to build on the Harbaugh/Hortiz vision of how they build out the team. The Chargers are in good hands, so as long as they can shed that injury history players always seem to have. Players seem to love to play for him, and with that they'll always play hard under his leadership. The coaching staff, as well.  

Wow, I posted under my first (and very brief) Covers profile. (Notice the misspell in the username.)

Hello, it's me again. But this time the Veteran with 3000+ posts.  

Week 13 look ahead bets:

Packers -3.5(-110) *1.00/.91

Broncos -7(-110) *1.00/.91

Falcons ML(+105) *1.00/1.05

Locked in last week. 

Still not home, will add up the record tonight or in the morning. 

Sharp $ is hitting the Bears. Sharp as a bowling ball.

Why are the Broncos now -5.5, who's injured?

Good, we didn't trust the other guy 

Your bias against the Pac 10/12 is showing again.  

@Cyrax

 Great write ups once again  Happy Thanksgiving everyone 

@undermysac

 How big did you go Lions 1h? I think I’m going to ride with you 

Dan Fouts.....

@iConcsciousness

  I agree, complexion of game changed without Dobbins. 

You have the toboggan ready, and NO you may not be in the back.Let us never speak of that time again 

@iConcsciousness

 It's conky!!!!

 

Rubber.....

HT's 3-11 SU last 14.....

Didn't bet it yet

What team are you referring to?

last 14  Thanksgiving games....

Lions 0-7 last 7 Thanksgiving games..

Tua has never won in weather under 40 degrees....

@bigred84

 So halftimes are 3-11 su to the fav or dog, home or away?

I remember reading that he never had a cold weather game until being drafted into the nfl

Yup play is gb or nothing in the cold imo

 

Starting LT out for lions...not sure how big of a downgrade it is to the backup...and if the OL will struggle with run blocking without him

Dont care, it will be cold for everyone in GB  it will be LOUD LOUDLY and LOUDER for the Bears when they have the ball. 

Damn Sac I feels like a hero for today  and contemplating doubling up on Lions & Miami 

FG  only.....

The odds of flipping heads 8 times in a row is 5.47%.

Adding to my Lions -10 with a few at -9.5.
