quick thoughts on the gay ass chargers

[Hoopsdoc]

That bogus hitting a defenseless player penalty that led to the Chargers first touchdown really pissed me off. The Chargers did the same thing, only WORSE on every Vinatieri fg attempt, especially the one right before halftime. On that one, 2 players sandwiched the long snapper and knocked him flat on his ass. No call.

That was bullshit.

Yeah that call really sucked.

I thought it was you can't line up over the center. And the Colts didn't. They were lined up outside of him and then rushed the line, you can't avoid hitting the center completely.

#12 👍👍 dude lost us the game and got out kicked by a punter, goat or not what he’s done in 25 years don’t mean shit this season

Couldn't agree more on just about everything you said.

IMO Ebron deserves more criticism than "would have been nice if he had hung on to that TD pass". He should have had that and it was 1 of the 2 fuck ups from someone other than AV that cost us the game (the FG penalty was the other, but maybe that was just a BS call).

Not going deep was probably influenced by the amount of pressure LAC was able to get on us, especially early on. Although I agree it would have been nice to have taken some deep shots off of play action after we got the running game going.

Overall, pretty encouraging performance as we went to OT and should have won against a really good team on a west coast trip. Fix the fuck ups and the kicking game and we should be good to go.

Just a few things to add:

1) STOP with the screens, especially on 2nd and long. When the Colts run them, there’s a high probability of zero or negative yardage which kills your drive. Only run them on 1st or 3rd and long.

2) Was it just me, or did Walker get benched in the 2nd half only to come back out for OT? He looked downright terrible on several plays.

3) Same goes for Kenny Moore. Make a tackle. Or better yet, make a play of any sort.

4) They got burned a ton in man today. If you’re going to play man, you better cover better than that.

5) The DL just missed Rivers on several occasions. Really frustrating since any one of those could’ve swayed the game.

Overall, there was a lot to like: Mack, run blocking, Brissett, TY, Funchess and Cain making contested grabs. The defense and Vinatieri just killed them today. They nearly overcame those factors against a really good team, so I’m encouraged that this is still a team that can win the AFC South. Big game next week against TENN.

I thought walker had some damn good plays early

He was so up and down. There was a drive in the 3rd quarter where he made a really nice play knifing into the backfield and stopping Jackson for a loss of 1-2 yards. The very next play he over-pursued and left a huge running lane. Jackson picked up 24. It's harder to tell just with the telecast, but CBS showed an endzone view of the 2nd play and it was obvious Walker was way out of position.

I looked at the extended highlights again last night and it was really apparent how bad the interior DL and LBs were yesterday. The DL got zero penetration, which is their only chance with their size.
