the chargers are going against the shitty giants with a back up quarterback

Herbert reminds me of a stout Brees. Pretty accurate with more zip in the throw.

Idk how ZT is getting hate right now. He’s not the one with 3 fumbles. He’s not the one ignoring the running back in the pass game. He’s not the one drooling wide open touchdowns? He’s not the one getting a taunting penalty. He’s not the one who blew coverage on Kittle during the one play where you absolutely can’t blow coverage

I hate the rule to begin with.  But I think its BS that one player can wave their finger and get a 15 yard flag but 10 players can do a planned dance in the endzone.

Shula won 7 games in a season also just saying. he also sored 16 or more points for 15 straight games we currently at 12

Been screaming play small ball all year long.

It’s the only thing that works for this team. Well. After the whole league started doubling Chase.

Dink dunk dink dunk

Another poster in here suggested nobody. At this point, I like that. Line nobody back there and let the ball fall lol. This feels like another "so close but we lost" game, with a whole bunch of posters saying "I told you so!" before the game ends lol

Turned out he faked his injury, he was boycotting the poor play of the offense.

Him being so accurate is honestly why we have 6 points at all. His o line is crap and his WRs forgot how to catch and he’s barely even had it cause the ST keep fumbling

Other than the two balls he threw directly to defenders. Burrow has been lucky as hell today so far.

Facing the crowd.  Do it facing the opponent's sideline and they get the same flag.

Yeah it really makes no sense but the world is powered by complicated invisible equations as much as we try to escape it.

Baseball and Football are completely different. There are way to many moving parts for analytics to be perfect in football. Analytics are fun to look at but Tape rules the football world.

Unlike Burrow, who is starting against a 6-6 team missing both starting CBs and has been picked off twice.

If your team makes killer mistakes game after game then the coach is to blame.

[Joelist]

Notice we already have people even on this forum who are starting the whole "this team is a year ahead of schedule" and "next year will be different" stuff - EXACTLY what the franchise wants to get fans to believe. The truth is the reverse - if they don't succeed THIS YEAR they won't do so in the future. Anything short of a playoff win is another disastrous lost season. Another season where they con their fans and give them nothing in return for their support - the NFL version of battered wife syndrome.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Burrow, Mixon, Higgins, Boyd, Uzomah, and Chase: SIX POINTS! Unacceptable.

Hendrickson update?

What did it do?  We got points on the board not going for it.  The reason this team is losing right now is not because of analytics, its because of fumbles, missed catches and stupid penalties.

Trey Hendrickson is OUT with a back injury.
