Game Thread W7 - New England V San Diego (2 Viewers)

[Walter Slovotsky]

It was close enough that there was no reason for Hester not to jump on the ball.

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.

Here we go. "C'mon Norv, you've got to COACH these guys to not fumble untouched when you're not down and recover laterals instead of staring at the ball!!!!!"

You can't spell Norv Turner without Turnover.I would blame coaching for the Hester play only because the same thing has already happened this season. There have been at least two plays that were very close between being forward and backward, where I've wondered why in the world the RB wouldn't fall on the ball. This is the first time it was called a backward pass, but it's not the first time it could have been. There's simply no reason to stop playing before the whistle blows, but the Chargers do it pretty regularly.

You can't coach stupid. The Chargers have been one of the more physically talented teams for a few years, but they are also the dumbest team in the NFL by a wide margin.

Good thing they signed Marcus McNeil...the oline play has really improved

You know who doesn't drop passes? Antonio Gates.

 

[jerry jones]

crayton...he is who we thought he was....

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

You know who doesn't drop passes? Antonio Gates.

The last pass that was thrown to him, he was open and he dropped it.

The one before that touchdown.

 

[RushHour]

does anyone else expect Kris Brown to miss every time he has a kick?

 

[Eviloutsider]

Question...Yahoo has Crayton as having 8/104 but NFL.com has him with 7/90. Anyone know?

 

[tdhartis]

Damnit, glad I started Hernandez over Gates now. Was perfectly content 1 minute ago.

 

[Tom Baker]

Matthews is terrible. They might want to look at Demarco Murray in the draft since SD will have a top 10 pick.

Yes, Mathews is responsible for all the turnovers, the terrible play calling, etc.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Chargers' special teams are AWESOME!

I don't remember that play.CBS sportsline says that TD was his first target of the day.

 

[Donnybrook]

Stupid challenge genius.

His previous target was against the Rams. He dropped it.

I think Rivers got past the goal line there.

 

[Tau837]

Just dropped a TD...

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

 

[jerry jones]

just dropped his 2nd td...

 

[RushHour]

If only the Bolts could start games they way they finish them.

 

[Tau837]

I think Rivers got past the goal line there.

Agreed. Glad it didn't cost them a TD, though it did take more time off the clock.

 

[Walter Slovotsky]

If only the Bolts could start games seasons they way they finish them.

FTFY

 

[Tau837]

Wow, crushing to kick the kickoff out of bounds. Special teams bites them again. Just fire the ST coach, already.

 

[RushHour]

Just kick it deep and trust your defense. Such a low percentage play.

 

[Tau837]

Huge third down here...

 

[bostonfred]

I don't think that's ever happened three times in the same game.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

This game is kind of fun all of a sudden.

 

[RushHour]

If the Chargers get the ball back it'll be really fun. Doubt it though.

If that had have been a takeaway it would have been an amazing turn of events.

 

[bostonfred]

I have no idea where they should have spotted it, but it's inches, not a yard.

 

[bostonfred]

I'd punt.

 

[Michael Brown]

YEAH!

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Wow!!!

 

[randall146]

I hate football

 

[RushHour]

Wow.....if I'm a Pats fan, I don't want BJGE with the ball there.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow I can't believe they didn't just do a QB sneak.

 

[duaneok66]

BB strikes again . . .

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I wouldn't rely on Brown here.

 

[scott72]

Why did they go for it? Is BB that afraid of his defense?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Why did they go for it? Is BB that afraid of his defense?

SD scored 2 TDs in the last 3 mins. Wouldn't you be afraid of your defense?

 

[reprisal]

Woulda had it if BGJE just followed his blockers...dunno what he was thinking

 

[Limp Ditka]

Can't wait from all of the football scholars to come in here and tell us why it was the right decision to go for it there.

 

[Michael Brown]

I feel much more comfortable trying to get 2 yards with the offense than a 47 yard FG from Brown. Not liking this

 

[Limp Ditka]

Why did they go for it? Is BB that afraid of his defense?

SD scored 2 TDs in the last 3 mins. Wouldn't you be afraid of your defense?

No, I wouldn't

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I wouldn't rely on Brown here.

UhOh

 

[UniAlias]

Never been this frustrated with a TV network.. CBS Dallas has been breaking away and split screening about a storm in east texas for the last 15 minutes, been missing all of this..

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Kris Brown looks nervous as hell. That doesn't bode well for this kick.

 

[bostonfred]

False start? Wow.

 

[RushHour]

terrible
