If the Harrison number includes playoffs, then that doesn't say much about his ability to show up in the playoffs...or perhaps it says it all.
In his prime (99-06) Harrison averaged 103 catches, 1402 yards and 13 TDs per 16 games, monster numbers (especially considering it was the era just before passing went crazy). Compare that to his playoff numbers, of which the sample size is exactly one full season (16 games): 65 catches, 883 yards, 2 TDs. Dude was a dud when it counted, and was a big reason why Indy was so mediocre in the playoffs.

TEN lost their starting LT in pre-game. They were playing well... LG goes down, immediately a sack/fumble, gonna be down 2 TDs

The Chargers are absolutely playing a road game, at home.
I have been in Southern California for almost 30 years. I have never met a Chargers fan except in San Diego proper.
I know dozens of Cowboy fans (California natives) and the Raiders fans I know out number the Rams fans I know.
They will always be the Clippers of football.

The stadium is stunning, but the Chargers moving to LA with the Rams already there was a colossally stupid move.

Ridiculous overturn of that Julio Jones catch in the back of the end zone. Always great to see the No Fun League find ways to suck the joy out of the game..

There was one angle from the back of the end zone where you could see Julio's heel messed up some of the white 'out of bounds' paint when it came down. I mean, I have Julio on my fantasy team but I thought that made it pretty clear it was incomplete.

He was out of bounds. It didn't seem like a crazy overturn. But if you're a Tenn fan, I'm sure it sucks.

I just hate the micromanagement of the game. It was called a TD on the field, and then they go out of their way to see whether his heel disturbed a couple blades of grass.

We can all agree that the rule on that catch is insane right?
If you get your toe down and nothing else... TD
If you get your toe down, then 99% of your sole.... no TD.

It is just a really bad rule.

On that I agree with you 100%. I think all replays should only be done in real-time speed and decided in 60 seconds or less in the replay booth, none of this super-slow-mo checking a blade of grass BS.
