The Patriots' pass rush, I don't think, is there to really take advantage of it.

And I also think that the Chargers can run the ball on this team.

I think the Chargers have kind of shocked people with how they've been able to run the football over the second half of the season.

And Herbert, when shit hits the fan, and I think that the way the Patriots win this game

Shit doesn't hit the fan.

They're able to stay on schedule, they get out to an early lead, and they're able to kind of lean on it.

And Herbert, then that offense has to become one dimensional and the offensive line gets just too much, right?

Too much work.

If shit hits the fan, I trust Herbert Harbaugh and the defensive coordinator for the Chargers mentor to get things done better than I do necessarily with the pass.

And I think it's because of how much I just really believe in how how Herbert has played this year.

Yeah, I think that it comes down to kind of what we've seen in the last few weeks when the offensive line has been decimated by injuries.

It's just like not turning immediate pressure into sacks and somehow either turning those into not negative plays, throwing the ball away or just getting out or turning them into big plays and scrambling outside the pocket and pushing the ball downfield.

But I think Herbert

In those situations, I think specifically moving off of play action and trying to get the ball on schedule is where he needs to be.

And it's going to be this Chargers run game that kind of has to unlock it.

Like, I think they need to be able to run the football to win this game successfully so that they are just like a little bit two dimensional and they don't have to, you know, even as middling as this Patriots pass rush is, if they're able to just kind of pin their ears back because they're up 10 and they have to throw the ball all the time because they haven't been able to run the football.

I really hate this script.

Again, I think there's ways for this to flip towards the Chargers side.

I think it's why it's a very popular bet.

Like looking, listening to the ringer gambling show and just like reading a ton of like betting previews for this game.
