Chargers vs Chiefs - MNF

[jcdavey]

What a brutal way to lose a game. On the bright side, your team is tied for first with a lot of season to go.

i'd be surprised at this point, if we reach 8-8

Charger fans don't jump off rooftops...they jump ON surfboards...or skateboards...or parasails...or dune buggies....or....(ad infinitum)

Or smoking' hot SoCal chicks!

I didn't read this entire thread, but I totally enjoyed that game. It reminded me of the times we had Matt here.

1) He ran for a few;
2) He was creative in many plays.

The Pats are awesome but boring at times.

I actually gained a lot of respect for Rivers when he played through that ACL tear against us in the AFCCG - but that's just sort of funny.


Anyway, it was fun watching Cassel last nite - I was impressed with his play. I thought the 2nd INT (they hardly played a replay since they were too busy continually replaying the botched fumble) seemed like it could've been illegal contact or PI as the receiver was not allowed to get to the spot in his route. That would've ended the game there.

His OL is pretty bad, and the receivers drop a ton of balls, and his coach looks like a nutcase - but he still has a lot of Brady traits. Smart decisions, accuracy, throws some guys open.

I know that Rivers' apologists will find a way to blame this, once again, on the coaching or the defense or the play calling or the alignment of the stars or something else, but to me the game was Exhibit A of why Rivers will never be in the same class as Brady or P. Manning or, increasingly, Aaron Rodgers and should never, at this stage of his career at least, be considered seriously for Canton. Yes, he threw for 369 yards last night and yes his career Pass Rating is 95.9 and is "higher than [fill in the blank]'s" and his career record as a starter is 59--27 or 0.686, which is "higher than [fill in the blank]'s".

But, he just doesn't do what has to be done to win big games or games they should have (3--4 in the post season).

Last night, even after fumbling at the 15 with a chance for a chippy field goal to win the game (and no one...yet, at least...is saying that the fumble was on anybody but him, but I'm sure someone will look at the tape today and blame the center or the turf or maybe a groundhog), Rivers was offered redemption when the Chargers won the OT coin toss but he fumbled again, putting his team in a hole and leading to a three and out on their first possession.

If you want to make the case that Philip Rivers is in the same class as Brady and P. Manning or should go into the HOF, please get back to me after he at least gets his team to an SB.

When I saw Rivers choke away the last 2 minutes of that Jets game last week, it helped confirm why he isn't in Brady's league. However, I'd take him any day over that flabby rapist in Pittsburg. A ring doesn't make one better than the other, it's the performance that helped you win the ring. So far, the rapist performances have sucked.

Rivers is a choke artist Ben is not and his performance lately has been top notch. I'm not getting this post

Funny, so are the Pats. . . .

Are the Chargers cursed or something? Look at the weapons, the weapons on offense they have. They should score min 35 points a game.

sounds like a voodoo to me

Give Romeo Crennel credit, double teaming and jamming Gates whenever they got in the red zone was brilliant. Exposed the Chargers, I'd say. Expect more DC's to do the same in the future.

If we were talking about which QB I'd rather have a beer with or have spend time with my kids, then there's no doubt it's Rivers; but if we're talking about which QB I'd rather have on the field for my team, I'm afraid it's "the rapist" handsdown...three trips to the SB and two rings vs zero and zilch in those regards.

Did anyone see the catch McClain had for 16 yards, and a personal foul penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver? It has to be so frustrating for defensive players...

that might still win the afc west

It didn't help the Chargers cause that Gates was called for a questionable PI call that should have been a touchdown. Given his well documented plantas fascia issues, that was some performance by Gates.

rivers is a great person, yeah, but roethlisberger is one of the clutchest despite his most recent sb performance

he is the better qb , sad to say
