Game Thread: Denver Broncos at Los Angles Chargers

[SpiritOf77]

I thought McGovern did an excellent job filling on at C ... I thought, for their first game together against a good defensive front of SD, the OL played well overall ..

Before he left the game, Roby was definitely having his best game this season

In just 10 games, Phillip Lindsay has quite possibly jumped in to my Top 10 all time Broncos .. I love this guy

Damn .. Sutton, Chubb, Lindsay, Freeman, Jewel - these guys step in as rookies and are playing good football ... Lindsay on that wildcat TD ... Hamilton will get into this mix too

There is talent all across this roster

On the other hand - Heurman has a lot to work on in regards to blocking - this isn;t the first game he's looked bad

I think this game shows exactly why Vance should stay our head coach, the team doesn’t quit on him. They have a fire behind them and have a different attitude this year over last

I think this type of performance makes it easier to keep him. At the same time if we only beat the Raiders and Browns the rest of the way it might not be enough results to get a 3rd year.

If Kubes wants to coach again do you bring him in to be the OC even with Bill Musgrave still here? Do you let Kubes leave for another team?

Depending on how the team finishes there are going to be hard decisions that need to be made.

Got screwed pretty hard there on the 2 pointer.

Vance fucked the team on the 2 pointer. The guy is an idiot.

We won despite VJ

VJ continues to be a bonehead. He needs to go after the season.

We are 2 games out of the final wild card spot with 6 to go. Not saying we are going to get it, but there is a chance. Beat Pittsburgh next week and the chances don't get any worse.

Gotta give props to Lynn for the awful call and Rivers for stopping the clock on third down and 2 minutes to go for Chargers. Without that, we would not have had time to get in FG position.

I agree. I can't believe Rivers threw that and stopped the clock.

Some really, really poor decisions by both teams. I guess they aren't called dumb jocks for nothing...

We're going to win out.

That pass interference call on Tim Patrick - the way the two players were positioned, I just cannot see how Patrick could have drawn that call prior to the view we had .. and what we did see on camera, to call that on Patrick was awful - esp at that point in the game

But you gotta love the fact that it did not phase this team .. Right back down the field, and a win ..

I am still baffled by the call on Patrick

Me too. Terrible call at the worst possible time. Gotta give it to CK for rising above it.

If we win next week I would say that winning out is very doable. The Steelers and Chargers are the best 2 teams we have to play left on the schedule. We are probably favored against the 49ers, Browns and Raiders. Might be favored against the Bengals and Chargers, but that will depend on how things go between now and then. We will see if Green is back in 2 weeks for the Bengals.

 

[fightinredantz]

The Oline today really needs to be given some credit. With all the changes over the last few weeks and they don't give up a sack to the talented Chargers front 7 is pretty impressive. We also ran the ball at a average of 5.7 per carry.

Going to be a fun week . Pittsburgh up next.
Reminded me of a Tebow game.
QB sucks for 59 minutes, Defense keeps them in it, opponent pulls a brain fart and Denver puts a drive together to win it late.

 

[SpiritOf77]

Gotsis had a great game

great call on the fake punt .. Chargers had two men back - setting up something ? - perfect timing

McMahon has done a great job

Be nice if the D could get off the field on 3rd down. My goodness. Play good to great on 1st and 2nd down to repeatedly give it up on 3rd down. So frustrating.

They change their mindset of giving up zero yards to more of a prevent to that yard marker and that is playing not to lose !

When they should play every down to knocker your F'n head off!

 

[58crash]

And you can tell other teams are sooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooo know what we are doing to do on 3rd down D so yes they are kicking our ass in this .we are so easy to read

 

[58crash]

I call it 3rd down prevent

 

[58crash]

we are 4- 6 how has that worked for us We need to go to war if we are to win out.

 

[SpiritOf77]

Su'a Cravens was on the field a lot in the first half, but I didn;t see him much after that ..

Anybody know if he was hurt, or maybe just getting into game shape ?

 

[Draft Crazy]

Keenan Allen and Philip Rivers seem to be all up in their sensitive emotions after losing to us this week.

We may not be a playoff team, but being that team that spoils other teams direction seems sorta fun.
