Divisional Weekend Gamethread

Both players were doing it again.

 

[Investor 11]

Has any Punt, Pass & Kick kid ever turned into a notable college/pro player?

It gave us Andy Reid, right?

 

[accidentalsuccess]

Did he pronounce Des Plains correctly?


Yup. At least the one in IL is pronounced that way.

 

[Byrdbrain]

GET OUT OF BOUNDS ASSHOLE

That only works last 5 minutes of each half.

[brandonchristensen]

Rivers is garbage

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol, these playcalls.
 
Another awful throw.

 

[Sportsbstn]

terrible pass by rivers

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nice pass Philip.

 

[dcmissle]

 
It isn't "so good," it's pretty average.  Denver has only had 6 drives today, so 17 points in 6 drives is 2.83 points per possession.  That is slightly better than Denver's average (2.98 this year), but 2.83 is still better than any other offense in the league did.  The real reason Denver's point total is relatively low is because they spent most of their time running the ball, draining the clock faster than they normally do.  San Diego's defense hasn't been great, but it's not the problem today.
 
The problem is the Chargers offense, which is the SECOND highest scoring offense in the league, going by points per possession (2.46). 

Please. Tell me you won't take 17 after 3 next week. The problem is not the defense. It's the offense and special teams

 

[twibnotes]

Woodhead is awfully athletic

 

[normstalls]

Eh?

It's 17-0, the Colts haven't done shit and the Broncos are just barely taking advantage.


See my previous post - should easily be at least 28-0. I agree Denver isn't playing that well offensively. That said, still pure domination.

 

[Boston Brawler]

BOOM

 

[brandonchristensen]

Wow, I take it back. Great throw.

 

[Dogman]

Not that I want to see that but good.  Now they have to throw

 

[johnmd20]

Omaha bitches!

 

[mascho]

This is the most boring Punt Pass and Kick ceremony ever

 
Unlike the greatest, featuring a young Andy Reid:
 

 

[PseuFighter]

NOT DEAD YET.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Best throw of the day by a mile for Rivers.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

One stop at a time

 

[Van Everyman]

I DONT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

 

[quint]

SIX, bitches

 

[Sportsbstn]

and then he does that....

 

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

Life!

 

[Dogman]

Nice.
 
Now pick off Manning.

 

[mikeford]

quentin jammer sucks, do that some more

 

[86spike]

17 down.
Broncos are letting the Chargers hang around.

Yeah Denver has put up two full quarters of Red Zone suck.

Don't ease up, Fox, you conservative bastard.

 

[koufax32]

Lol posing. Now I remember why I dislike SD.

 

[Stitch01]

Holliday gagging up the kick would be elite

 

[Reverend]

How is it possible to be down the entire game and still only have 12 pass attempts thru 3 quarters?  When you add in the sacks, it would technically be 15.  I realize that the game plan to beat Denver was for San Diego to control the ball, and keep the Denver offense off the field, but at some point, you kind of need to realize you can't run the ball and change things up, right?  RIGHT?

 
Combine this with a couple of the recent passes and there's a real, "If you could do that, then why didn't you do it before?" element.

 

[riboflav]

Hmmm... A borderline HoF QB going against a very suspect pass defense... Me thinks you should keep passing.

 

[twibnotes]

This is just going to make us angrier when it becomes apparent that SD could have made it a game if they had opened it up sooner

 

[Reardon's Beard]

That was just timely enough to keep it interesting.

 

[MJM2344]

Wow San Diego has a shot at covering.

 

[Ed Hillel]

It's almost like throwing downfield against this secondary is a good idea.

 

[dcmissle]

Now they need a Denver turnover.

 

[SpacemanzGerbil]

We have an over/under for neutral zone infractions this drive?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Time for Holliday to cough it up.

 

[Dogman]

Come on D

 

[staz]

Jammer just got lit up like a recreational drug?

 

[Three10toLeft]

Rivers is borderline HoF?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Easy holding

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Coming back.

 

[Dogman]

Clear as day.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Comin' back

 

[Ed Hillel]

Did he rip that guy's helmet off?

 

[johnmd20]

Well defended SD. Thank God and Tebow for the flag.

 

[mascho]

Aw, that's a shame.

 

[Dollar]

Holy shit, that guy is fast.  He should have been down at the 25.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Rivers is borderline HoF?

 
Manning
