Game Thread - W3 - San Diego@Denver (1 Viewer)

NFL.com is sayin that Hearst is gettin the carries please someone that is watchin the game tell me it is a mistkae or what happened to griffin!!!!

 
Hearst has one carry. Griffin has the rest.That was a beautiful pass by Tomlinson. Brees got an extra 20 yards after the catch because it was placed so perfectly.

 
:cry: That's it; it's official - Quentin Griffin sucks! What the hell happened to him?
Still plenty of time left but 6 carries for ZERO yards at home against one of the worst defenses in the league is about as bad as it gets. Anyone watching the game know if Bell is active or if he wimped out with the sore ribs?
 
:cry: That's it; it's official - Quentin Griffin sucks! What the hell happened to him?
:wall: Get real man. It's the first half. Most of his runs have been in short yardage situations, where he is small and has a hard time. He did have a nice catch and picked up a lot of YAC. Get a clue.
 
The Broncos are playing press coverage with their corners and they are walking both safeties up close to the line. They're almost completely disregarding the pass and putting nine guys in the box to stop LT.

The Chargers have to take a shot downfield to Gates, Caldwell, or Parker.

 
Need info on the Q suckage - Injury? Chargers D-line ownage? :no:
They have been able to move the ball pretty well in the air against the porous SD secondary. Haven't ran that much, and like I said, their runs have been in obvious short yard rushing situations.
 
Osgood doesn't even look for the ball????Brees isn't going to lead us to a SB but you can't blame him for not winning with these bums he has to throw to.

 
Droughns? Oh man. I hope Skeletor is justing resting Q 'cuz he thinks SD is a pushover....I'm not dead in the water w/ Q in a RBBC but I was hoping to trade some depth for another WR. :angry:

I apologize profusely; I will try and get a clue. I guess 6 carries for 0 yards and being replaced by Rueben Droughns is pretty good.I should be happy having him as one of my starters this week.My bad.
 
Pretty humorous clock-management by Denver at the end of the first half. They had the ball around midfield with one timeout left and about 12 seconds. Instead of calling timeout, they tried to line up and spike the ball. They spiked right as the last second ticked off the clock.End of half.

 
Griffin has had no room to run. We knew he wasn't a guy who could break tackles -- he needs the Broncos O-line to open some of those huge holes for him. So far he hasn't seen any, and it looks like Shanahan may have decided to go with the bigger back instead.Gates is playing but has had few if any looks. Brees is terrible.

Okay, Griffen sucks, you are right. :wall: Let's see what his final stats end up to be. It's called the first half, moving the ball in the air. God forbid the little Griffin doesn't get EVERY carry.

I think it was bad clock management more by Plummer than Denver. Looked like Shanny was giving him an earful (and Elam looked pretty pissed too).

I agree, and it's hard to find any holes if you only get 6 attempts. Not to mention, 2 of those at the goal line, and one of those on 3-1.

He doesn't need to get every carry, but a little more than 0 yards on 6 carries would be nice.At least I played him in a Pt. per Reception league so I have a glorious 3 points!

Agreed. As a Griffin owner his 6 attempts are disappointing. But there still is another half to play. I wouldn't say he sucks though, as unipanthers has determined after 1 quarter of a game. If you were expecting the kind of output he had in week 1, you have to remember that was the Chiefs, one of the worst teams against the run.Edit to add: Not that the Chargers are a great rush D, but Denver right now is taking what they are being given. Look at Plummer's completion percentage. This is Plummer we are talking about.

yea, just one half but I'd be pretty worried right now if I were a Griffin owner. Make all the excuses for him that you like....he has no yards rushing at home against the Chargers. He also only has half of his team's carries. He needs to do something in the second half to salvage his game, otherwise we are looking at 2 bad games in a row following a great one against the Chiefs, which now has to be taken in a little bit of a different perspective after what we've seen from the Chiefs since.
