Kael Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Xenos said: I don’t have a problem with the offense grounding it out in the 2nd half (in this game at least) when we’re up that much. The problem is all those key penalties that came at the worst time when we were driving deep into their territory and caused us to settle for FGs. That HH penalty on the last Charger offensive drive comes to mind. But it still shouldn’t have mattered. This wasn’t the Chiefs and Mahomes. Our defense is just unbelievably anti clutch. But it’s been this way whether it’s Wade Phillips, John Pagano, or Gus Bradley. I wouldn't mind it either, as long as the defense proved it could hold up its part. But if this season has told us anything, is that it can't. So continuing to try to grind it out, while all evidence says the defense can't hold up its part is irritating. And yes, I said in another post it spans coaching staffs. All my point is, is that depending on a defense that up to this point has proven it can't be depended on is not a good idea. First half of the game, yes depend on them. Second half, for whatever reason, it has to be all offense.

No - in fact, there's a saying you might not know that explains why you're not right: Correlation doesn't equal Causation. You're bringing up irrelevant factoids - the guy tried to dance, the guy dated an owners' daughter - to justify a stance. Truth is, that stance could come true, but it has nothing to do with your factoids. Drew Lock might fail because his Football IQ isn't where it needs to be at this point, or he might fail because he trusts his physical skills more than he should. That has nothing to do with what you tried to pass off as actual analysis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being dumb. Just because the Broncos beat the Chargers doesnt mean the Chargers suck, it means the Broncos played really well and adjusted. Take it for what it is. No Den's defense was just being beat.. meanwhile Chargers defense was dominating Den's offense all 1st half. There was at no point where Den's defense really dominated Chargers offense or Chargers was inept. They had some dumb penalties here and there. But kept moving the ball. Nearly threw 300 yds, ran 200 yds. Stop trying to draw lines in a circle. Accept the win and be happy the Chargers choke. You guys didn't even have a 1st down until like 5 mins left in the 2nd qtr.

I remember when this team that I am a fan of over came a huge deficit to win the Super Bowl in overtime. People said it was because the other team choked. I didn't care my team had just won the super bowl. I miss those days ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime a team loses a 3 score lead.. it has more to do with that team choking than the other team suddenly executing at a all world level. It's just basic semantics. Doesn't mean don't salivate in the win. Just means don't be delusional about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Drew Lock is 5-3 as a starter and is going into his 9th career start next week. Who are you to say how good Drew Lock is? How are you so confident in Justin Herbert if sample size matters?

jofos Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I didn't realize this is the 5th time the Chargers have blown a double digit lead lol. Their game against the Falcons should be really painful to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
