  • Brock Purdy’s up-and-down day vs. Seattle

  • What makes the Shanahan offense so difficult to stop

  • How to slice up the blame pie for the Chargers’ collapse in Jacksonville

  • Where the Chargers should look on offense after firing Joe Lombardi

  • How Trevor Lawrence and Doug Pederson worked their way back into the game

  • Concerns with the structure of the Bills’ offense
