Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and prediction

Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

Did I read that stat correctly? Did it say Manning's lowest yardage total this year in the 1st half was 134 yards? He had like 50 yards against us.

Total team yards.

I think Moreno had a whole bunch more against us.

I think they meant as a team

The Chargers got to Manning frequently in the 2nd quarter. Keep it up!
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

Rivers looks like a totally different quarterback in this system.
And he's doing it primarily without both of his normal deep threats. It's pretty obvious that he's having an MVP-caliber season despite not getting the attention for it.

Coach McCoy deserves a lot of credit too for crafting a system that maximizes Rivers' strengths, unlike Turner's high risk high reward vertical philosophy.

As for the game itself the Chargers played that first half well. As it has been stated many times, Allen is a beast.

Dobson better become a player, because we're watching Reggie Wayne 2.0 at 21 years old.

Imagine having Dobson and Allen. Allen is single handedly having his way with the vastly overrated Denver secondary.

Rivers looks like a totally different quarterback in this system. They need to bleed the clock and score a touchdown here, then take their opening drive in the third back for a touchdown.

Yeah they finally dumped that terrible coach, gave Rivers a say in creating the new offense, and most importantly, got the plays down to him with more than a few seconds on the play clock which allows him time to analyze the D and audible if need be.

That makes sense. I thought it said passing yards by Manning. My bad.
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

Anyone else HATE when teams kneel in that situation? Just toss it deep.

Depends on field position. In that scenario? Nope.

I know right...

I'm shocked BB didn't draft him. He was the best route runner/most pro ready WR in the draft. He would fit in well with this offense. The knee injury probably knocked him off BB's board for the first three rounds like the majority of the league did as well.

Not overrated, it's not a secret that they are a lousy secondary.

I was ready to go to the gym but I think I'm staying too to watch this.

GO CHARGERS

To us it isn't. The news outlets, for the most part, still treat that defense as if they're good.

True...although even tonight we hear questions being raised on on whether they're a SB team with that defense (No way)

I'd just go to the gym. Broncos will win by 3 TDs I'm predicting.
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

Welker being out seemed to make a huge difference in the first half. Here's to it making a huge difference in the second half, too....
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

d%#*!@t... that's a TD if it wasn't underthrown

Don't worry, it will be the defenses fault when Manning throws for a pick six in the playoffs. Always has been.
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

Arent almost all broncos games like this where they will come out of the half and win it going away by 2-3 TDs ? Redskins, titans,chiefs games come to mind
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

San Diego had better watch the amount of times they call that comeback to Royal. It's beginning to get predictable. That, along with the out, is probably the easiest route to jump and take for six if you know it's coming.
 
Re: Thursday Night Football, San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos: preview and predic

If this is the Pats defense giving up these 3rd and longs that would put me in a really bad mood...
