Gotta throw that one away there. Losing 10 is likely the difference between FG and TD

 

[TheAristocrat]

Herbert with some real weapons next season is gonna be fun to watch.

Any chance Tee Higgins goes to LA as a free agent? He would be a great add for that offense.

Well that would be interesting. They have the cap space for a big free agent...

They have tons of cap space this upcoming off season. Probably 75MM

They only have 35 players under contract for next year and a question of what they want to do with Mack who will cost ~9M either way.

Still plenty of room. Very interesting. I've now spent way too much time researching the Chargers roster.

 

[VikingFrog]

Pretty weak call. Herbert really sold it after.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Weak call

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That was pretty soft.

 

[travdogg]

Gus shaping up to be a big swing guy this week. Not a guy I would have guessed.

 

[fatness]

Dumbass late hit.

 

[The_Man]

Pretty weak call. Herbert really sold it after.

Was probably going to be a flag but the Trevor Lawrence hit plus Herbert’s acting guaranteed it

 

[Uncle Leo]

15 pointer for Gus

 

[travdogg]

Herbert needed to stretch the ball out there. Well worth the risk of fumbling on a 2pt

 

[irish eyes]

That was pretty soft.

So sad with these weak @@@ penalties on QBs.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Not sure about that 2-point play there

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I don't like going for 2 there, Denver's last 2-3 drives only produce a FG, what if your defense holds them to 3 again and it's 27-19 vs 27-20?
Now you gotta keep chasing those 2-pt conversions, lot of time left in the game, everyone now just goes for 2
Also the play call sucked or Herbert's execution thinking he could just jog into the end one

 

[rockaction]

If Denver just runs the ball on second down the half is over. This could be a critical mistake.

Or if the idiot guy didn't run into the guy making a fair catch

Agree to a point. A short pass with 13 seconds left didn't make much sense.

On a side note, this game looks like a hybrid tackle/touch football game. Terrible tackling, especially by the Chargers. Haven't seen anything close to a real hit yet.

I get what you’re saying, but Derwin James is laying lumber out there.

 

[The_Man]

Looking at those projected playoff matchups, I can’t imagine what Buffalo’s offense would do to this D

 

[rockaction]

And on cue, James might have stolen one.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Not feeling great about my Ladd start tonight…

Looks like a high scoring game and Herbert has only thrown 4x, completed all of them
I understand how you feel Joe, but pop a cold one and relax for a bit

And 5/70 now with the entire 4th Q left, 20+ night in PPR within reach
Hope you're doing well

 

[travdogg]

Feels like momentum is changing

 

[VikingFrog]

Gotta let Bo throw a few deep balls. Everything the last several drives has been little dump offs and dink and dunk.

Even if they are incomplete, you gotta open things up a bit.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Feels like momentum is changing

I think it started with the final FG of the 1st Half despite Denver coming out on a nice drive to open the 2nd Half
Chargers look pumped up right now

I got two points for a McConkey tackle on the INT so even closer twenty for me. I had visions of 35.20, though, so this is falling way short.

More Ladd, please.

 

[rockaction]

Herbert’s progressions are pretty obvious but cool.

 

[rockaction]

And I don’t care what they say about Herbert, he’s awesome. I love watching him play QB. Not stellar for fantasy tonight, but nobody is against Denver this year. Tough matchup.

Sutton has been pretty quiet tonight, Mims' big play was really a screen pass, yeah not much down field passing from Denver

 

[TheWinz]

Chargers are gonna win this one. They have stayed close, and I have a gut feeling

 

[zeke2222]

Den needs to roll out Nix more. really was changing the dynamics in 1st half.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Javonte is up to 10 points for PPR owners that had no choice but to start him.

 

[VikingFrog]

Now that’s a penalty!

 

[The_Man]

Definitely a horse collar but a little hands to the face by Herbert that went totally unmentioned

 

[travdogg]

Like seeing this much PA. Stats have shown, its more effective than regular passes even with a non-existent running game.

 

[rockaction]

More holding on the Chargers. Looks like it to me, anyway.

This drive stalled. Oh my. Offsides. Are you kidding? Zach Allen just a bit early.

 

[rockaction]

Like seeing this much PA. Stats have shown, its more effective than regular passes even with a non-existent running game.

I have read that. I forget where, but it was a pretty big study with lots of data.

 

[travdogg]

McConkey is a #1, he's only gonna get better.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Kaylee should go ask Payton if they practice being onside

 

[rockaction]

Huh. More neutral zone stuff going on. They’re really pinning their ears back and coming hard.

Nice McConkey yardage right there. About eighteen yards?

Oh my. Darius Davis??? Nice for those who started him. What a play by Herbert! Holy smoke!

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Great throw on the td and great catch on the 2 lol

 

[TheAristocrat]

Oh nice two point catch!

 

[fatness]

Herbert looked surprised on that TD.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Lolllll better to be lucky than good sometimes

 

[rockaction]

Josh Palmer!

Chargers two insane plays in a row.

 

[travdogg]

Weird zone D on that 2pt. Surtain was responsible for both McConkey and Palmer there. Hell of a grab by Palmer.

 

[SengerCJ]

As someone who just needs 1 more point from Dicker to complete a 3-leg, these last two touchdowns have been painful.

 

[VikingFrog]

What a catch on that 2 Pointer.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Unreal catch by Palmer there

 

[Penguin]

Great effort by Palmer

 

[rockaction]

Could really use the Broncos scoring quickly and forcing the Chargers to have to throw the football.

No selfish reason, of course. Heh.

 

[travdogg]

Other than the INT, Herbert is playing almost a perfect game, especially considering this is the NFL's #1 defense.

 

[Mongidig]

It looks like the Bengals are gonna make the playoffs.

 

[zeke2222]

NIX better use his wheels more now on this next drive.

 

[travdogg]

It looks like the Bengals are gonna make the playoffs.

I feel like the rest of the AFC is rooting against that. Defense is awful, but Burrow and co. can drop 40 on anyone, anytime.
