Just got targeted in the end zone but the Chargers' DB knocked the ball away.

If they can keep up 6+ YPC, I am all for that distribution.Chargers three and out on their second possession. No pass attempts. 7 to 2 run to pass ratio so far.

Yes, but do you expect them to keep up 6+ YPC? I don't. Hence the need to establish a balanced attack.If they can keep up 6+ YPC, I am all for that distribution.Chargers three and out on their second possession. No pass attempts. 7 to 2 run to pass ratio so far.

I think they should keep running it until NO proves they can consistently stop it. After they've committed themselves to stopping the run, then the Chargers can mix it up more effectively.Yes, but do you expect them to keep up 6+ YPC? I don't.

Yeah, someone definitely blew it on that one. How embarrassing.

Someone goofed. Henderson was just standing alone in the corner of the end zone.

Well, on their last possession, the Chargers ran it three times and didn't get a first down, leading to a punt. What do you want to see, exactly? The 6+ ypc is based on one 26 yard run, which skews the stats at this point... the other 6 attempts so far have gone for 18 yards. Are you waiting for another 26 yard run, or are you happy getting 3 ypc?I think they should keep running it until NO proves they can consistently stop it.

Those are the only options? When did they pass that rule?

On the first carry of the game, the Chargers had a 26 yard run. Since that first play, the Saints have held the Chargers to 18 yards on 6 carries. How much more of that do you need to see before you agree the Chargers should start balancing their attack with some passing?

Yeah, and it's making me hate the Saints. My Colston pick was a waste of a second-rounder.

Add a +40 to it...and a -3.

Tomlinson's first big carry was skewing the numbers, but so was Tolbert's 0-yarder. Without it, the Chargers were running the the ball consistently well. That's really all I needed to see, but the next big carry made me thankful they didn't abandon the run based solely on Tolbert's 3rd and short collapse.
God I hope so. I could use some of the classic LT.

I didn't say they should abandon the run. I said they should use a balanced attack. And what do you know, they just went pass-run-pass-run-run-pass-pass on their first TD drive.

Offensive play selection has nothing to do with the Chargers losing this game. How do you fix the defense?I didn't say they should abandon the run. I said they should use a balanced attack. And what do you know, they just went pass-run-pass-run-run-pass-pass on their first TD drive.

I'm not sure it's fixable. So instead they have to do these things:1. Sustain their own drives, like they did last time.2. No more turnovers and short fields like they gave the Saints on Sproles' fumble.3. Cut down on the penalties, with one possible exception.4. Norv needs to go ballistic about the fact that his pass rushers are being held, maybe to the point of getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.Offensive play selection has nothing to do with the Chargers losing this game.

It probably didn't, but then neither did the unnecessary roughness penalty where the late hit came from a guy who had already committed to the tackle prior to the ball carrier going down.Not sure that one warranted a penalty.Way to show the British that American Football is all about FUN - flag a guy for celebrating...
