Pittsburgh at San Diego (1 Viewer)

Boom, first mistake by Rivers and it's a dagger.

BTW, Blake better tuck that ball away. Looked like he was going to get stripped like 4 times. I don't need that kind of stress in my life.

The chargers should move. Their home town support is pitiful. The Steelers fans are louder than the Charger fans

 
Rivers blaming the receivers, as usual.
Seriously? An NFL Qb is expected to throw into tight spaces to receivers that are well covered (by college football standards). The ONLY way that's possible is when the receivers run predictable, PRECISE routes. When the WRs do not run the designed route precisely, the QB will throw more interceptions. At least 1/3 of NFL interceptions are attributable to the receivers, not the QBs

So you're blaming the receivers...just like Rivers?
 
Not watching. Is Gates still playing?

Edit: never mind. Incomplete to gates.

That was a pretty ####ty route. I don't blame the WR entirely but come on... It is what it is. A bad route.

On that particular pick...yes. On every pick...hardly. Floyd was running a crossing route that wasn't exactly crossing. He was drifting downfield with a trailing defender. Very poor route.

Rivers probably blames his receivers too often, and certainly more than most QBs (except Peyton), but that int was on Floyd

That is interesting. How do you see that? How do you know what route he is supposed to run? Serious question.

Shallow crosses are generally not designed to be drifting downfield while crossing, and the risk of a trailing defender under-cutting to pick it off is the very reason why.

So while I don't know with 100% certainty, I do know with 80%+ certainty that the route was run improperly.

The only people able to tell for certain are the guys on the field and their coaches, and not always until film review, but I feel pretty confidant that Floyd gets the bulk of the blame for that one.

Who threw the ball?
 
This is setting up just great for another patented Philip Rivers late game pick during crunch time. :yes:

Promptly followed by him walking over to the sidelines looking constipated.
