It might be the last time I get this feeling this season, but this game feels like the playoffs to me.
Crayton was wide open when Rivers threw it away. (I think that was Crayton.)

So is Gates playing?
I would fully support an onside kick there . . . but that wasn't an onside kick. It was just a line drive right to the guy.
The Chargers continue to get owned by fumbles.
At least they haven't given up any special teams TDs yet today.

Hopefully we can get some info on that. All I saw was him walk to the locker room. Oof.

That looked backward to me.
The Chargers are stupid.

Stare at the ball on the ground then stare at the guy that recovered it lying on the ground. Good stuff.

No wonder the chargers suck, theyre a bunch of mental midgets.

Hmmm, from replay it looked blatantly forward. Remember it's where the ball comes out of his arm, which was right on the 38 yard line. Hester touched it up closer to the 37. Not conclusive though and given the way replay has gone today (Dolphins game) it won't be overturned.
Plays like that have happened a couple times this season where I thought the pass was "backward" (i.e., sideways). But this is the first time the refs didn't immediately rule it incomplete.

IMO that was not backwards. On that replay, Rivers arm appears to be right at the 38 or so when he releases the ball, though his body is moving forward. And it looks like Hester first touches the ball just inside the 38 (between 37 and 38), meaning it was just slightly forward. Not sure the refs will feel there is definitive evidence to overturn, though.

I don't know how you can say that it blatantly obvious?
It was close enough that there was no reason for Hester not to jump on the ball.

Blatantly obvious is being too nice. The ball came out of Rivers arm on the OTHER side of the 38 yard line. It hit Hester's hand almost all the way up at the 37. It was at LEAST a half a yard forward, and more realistically was close to a full yard.
Totally agree. Whether the ruling was fair or not, that's just a bad play by Hester. I've been slow to blame Norv, but this is very clearly a poorly coached football team.

Looks like they gave it to Rivers.

He didn't. He said it was blindingly obvious.Which is probably true. It was really difficult to see whether it was a forward pass.
On the Patriots' two scoring drives, they have totaled eight yards.

Sometimes its enough to just let the stupid beat themselves.
