Welcome one and all to the ***Official*** game day thread for what looks to be an exciting match up between a pair of 1-1 teams, the Jaguars and the Los Angeles Chargers. This week's game is on the west coast where the Jags traditionally struggle against a team they play fairly often and usually struggle against. The Jags enter this game on high note having trounced division rival Indianapolis 24-0 last week at the Bank. Coach Doug Pederson entered the game with a perfect plan and his offensive play calling deconstructed Gus Bradley's now aging zone coverage scheme to great effect. Trevor Lawrence had one of his best week's as a pro completing 83% of his passed for two TDs and a 121.5 QB rating. Both TD passes went to Christian Kirk, who after two weeks seems to be worth the free agent contract while running back James Robinson continues to show he's back to form with a 37 yard touchdown run. JRob posted lower totals last week with just 2.8 YPC, but the carries were mostly of the clock killing variety in the second half into stacked defensive fronts. The chief concern for the bolts today is the health of star quarterback Justin Herbert who suffered fractured rib cartilage 10 days ago against Kansas City. Herbert is one of the top quarterbacks of the League and presents a challenge for any defense but he's listed as questionable and will be a game day decision. If Herbert can't go longtime backup legend Chase Daniel will get the call. In either case the Jags defense, led by rookie stars Travon Walker and Devon Lloyd, will look to pressure the QB into the same mistakes that doomed Matt Ryan a week ago.

Weather will be 77 degrees under the SoFi Stadium roof with light breezes blowing through the open sides. Game time is 4:05pm EST and the broadcast will be shown locally on CBS47.

Thoughts, commentary, observations, ruminations, arguments, insults, memes, and snark to follow throughout the day.
