I love Welker dropping balls!
 
Pubescent, even.

 

[IdiotKicker]

Pretty good chance Welker went back into the huddle and said, "My bad, Tom" after that one.

 

[SpacemanzGerbil]

Could someone give me an update on the wind speed and direction? It has been five minutes.

 

[Reverend]

OK, I kinda like the wind tracker graphic--why did they bring it up and then ditch it?

And then called BB to apologize?

 

[MJM2344]

No good?

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Can they review a field goal? That looked wide right.

 

[Stitch01]

Shit, think the Chargers need that to hook right to have a shot

 

[soxhop411]

that looked no good

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

hmmm...

 

[hikeeba]

All I'm asking for is frikkin' lasers on frikkin' goal posts!!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Taller goal posts

+++

 

[RIrooter09]

Of course they don't hesitate in calling that good.

 

[Dogman]

Fucking hate those.  It's not clear that they are good.

 

[bradmahn]

Why the fuck do no broadcasts have cameras aligned directly on the goal posts, looking straight up?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Shit, think the Chargers need that to hook right to have a shot

That would be a slice.  Trust me, I know.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That looked good, given the rules. Could just make the goalposts taller, but noooooo...

 

[Dave Stapleton]

I think if it's above the posts it simply needs to be even with the post vertically.

Then again I may have dreamt that.

 

[Al Zarilla]

What is the rule, any part of the ball over any part of the upright and it's good? Like the 2012 Ravens regular season game.

Is there an argument against making them, say, 10 feet taller? Or some sort of structural/engineering reason?

 

[soxhop411]

FGs that are over the height of the uprights are not reviewable
 
that needs to be changed

 

[Ed Hillel]

So close to a safety. This is a clownshow.

 

[Sportsbstn]

San Diego getting shut out by this Denver defense would be the ultimate embarassment

 

[Ed Hillel]

Go QB sneak here and get a couple.

 

[86spike]

So did Mathews' Toradol shot wear off?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Has SD used play action even once?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Quick! Throw it 3-4 yards per attempt!

 

[Stitch01]

Should be Four down territory

Post anthem flyovers

 

[Dogman]

How did they not call that face mask.  That was clear

 

[IdiotKicker]

Typically, adding height to the goalposts adds wobble, which makes them more problematic actually.  Not a great argument, but the only other one is that it really only affects maybe 1-2 kicks a year that typically don't decide games, much like this one won't.

 

[brandonchristensen]

CALL A TIME OUT, QUICK!

 

[Ed Hillel]

LMAO, these guys are a joke.

 

[Dogman]

HAHAHHALOLOZ

 

[normstalls]

These guys are pathetic...

 

[NortheasternPJ]

What a joke.

Circus. It's just called a circus.

 

[johnmd20]

Did Kevin Hart make 53 movies over the past year?

 
He's finally getting his due, he's really funny. Like, one of the funniest people in comedy today. But I think he's trying to get overexposed b/c he has been in every movie in the past year.

 

[RedOctober3829]

This is one dysfunctional team. They can't do anything right.

Keep running the ball, Whisenhunt.. What a joke.

 

[Dogman]

They just have no idea.

[miracleofmidre]

Interestingly this Chargers game plan is being executed to perfection. It's just that bad a gameplan.

 

[Byrdbrain]

The entire ball needs to be inside the outside edge of the post.

 

[radsoxfan]

So who knows if any of this performance has to do with Whisenhunt's interviews, but it sure doesn't look good.  They look totally unprepared.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Are you allowed to throw it that far?

 

[Dogman]

Ok.  

 

[Helmet Head]

The Steelers would have given them a better game.

 

[Stitch01]

Now try throwing it downfield on an early down where the defense can't pin their ears back and rush
