I hope they do the right thing and give Rhamondre a couple of weeks off. No need to rush him back

The pass was fucking horrible, but can we at least acknowledge that Zappe is dealing with the pressure? Like holy shit he moved more on that third down than Mac’s maneuvered all year.

As always it’s everything with this O. Shit passes to guys who can’t make tough catches. Blow it all up twice over.

I think it will get banned, given all the attention, but how do you define it?
If the defender falls on the legs while having him wrapped might be a start. Not a complete definition, but work from there?

The issue is Mac would have been sacked 3 times by now. So it’s still an improvement.

Yes but he had guys open early and just didn’t go through his reads and then found the open guy and it was too late since he was getting hit.

I’m not going to argue Zap is good. But he looks way more likely to be able to make things happen. Timing and touch suck, but those seem at least potentially rep-related.

Sure looked to me like the Chargers were well offsides on that second down play btw.

That punt was the second best play of the season, behind only the Gesicki TD against Buffalo.
