Cassel/Croyle/Chargers poll

[JD10367]

Just wondering how people think it'll go, and whether or not they're Cassel-backers or Cassel-haters. :)

EDIT: This is IF HE WERE 100% HEALTHY, not "post-appendectomy".

This polls not out yet, but it doesn't seem like it's gonna be that similar.

Is there not a poll coming?

I think we're gonna win this week. I'm probably being very optimistic, but do we really have a choice right now?

[JD10367]

Hey, what the fuck am I, in the typing pool? It took time.

And I need to specify this is IF CASSEL WERE 100% HEALTHY. Not, "if he plays with the appendectomy". There's a big difference.

That is seriously the exact poll I envisioned. I just didn't see someone actually typing that up. Good work.

I didnt mind waiting I was staring at your avatar

I picked "close win, close win, backer". (Technically, I was a backer, then I turned and became a hater and he immediately started playing lights-out, LOL, so I guess I'm both.) I was inclined to pick "close win, close loss" but I think there's something to be said for the fact that the Chargers have little to prepare on for Croyle. IF Croyle can stay upright, this factor should negate any shortcomings he might have as compared to Cassel and, when combined with a running game and bend-but-don't-break defense, will be enough for a 3- to 4-point win.

We were 7 point underdogs before the news of the appendectomy...So I went with Close Loss - Close Loss - Backer

Where are the other "without him, blowout win" options?

Oakland beat SD because they were more physical on both sides of the ball. Since we don't 'specialize' in that department and since SD is coming off a brutal loss and positioned on the outside (so to speak) of the playoff spots looking in, I think they'll crank it up a notch or two and snag the 'W'. Our best bet to win the game is for Arenas and/or McCluster to return kickoffs and punts down the field against a weak Chuggers special teams unit, giving our "O" a short distance to go to put points on the board.

If the Raiders can go into SD and blow them out, there's no reason Brodie and the Chiefs can't go in there and win.

Fuck. I knew I was gonna forget some of the permutations. Poll fail!

I think they will blow us out, and it would have happened with or without Cassel under center.
