Game Thread: Week 16: Chargers

[Duffman]

And here’s where we fall apart, well it was a good first 3 quarters.

 

[Duffman]

Biggest drive of the game, offense goes 3 and out and allows a sack, sigh

 

[Duffman]

Annnnnnnd that’s the game. both the offense and the defense completely shit the bed in the second half.

3 points from the Offense is inexcusable and all those stupid penalties from the defense/special teams the entire game screwed us.

 

[Duffman]

Sean Payton’s strategy of taking this game early to give us more time to prepare for Cincinnati better work out.

Penalties cost us this game.

Penalties cost us this game.

And a lack of a penalty.

We made our fair share to be clear. But the officials have to call pass interference on that deep ball.

Disappointing game all around.

Re-group for next week. Still in decent shape for the playoffs.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike road Thursday night games?

Yeah and maybe a late season dud after starting a game hot will be the wake up they need.

ILB's were brutally bad tonight... Penalties were a killer.

@LGM never allowed to start the game thread the rest of the year.

I had a bad feeling about this game playing on the road Thursday night. I just never have a good feeling about those games.

I get the strategy, but I just don’t really like it.

weird game
not sure i like Payton at the end of the first half.
denver could have been down by 7 at mid field with a minute to go

cant be that dumb

 

[Draft Crazy]

I guess look at the grand scheme of things.

It has bee a long time since it hurt to lose a game... Other then losing to the Chiefs but with the playoffs on the line.

Still in good shape. Go Broncos! Good game to learn from.

new 10 to get in

At this point I think our only chance is to hope Cincinnati or Miami loses one of their last three games as I am not confident in the slightest Denver can get another win.

Get out of here with that.


Wonder what the Chiefs will do if they have home field wrapped up with the last game of the season and we need to win the game.

 

[CEH]

the clock management at the end cost us 3 points, the PF on #40 cost us 4, the under throw PI was probably 3 but make the throw and it’s 7, the sack on 1st and 10 from mid field down 3 was huge.

doesn’t take a lot to lose games in the NFL.

Right. That's football for you. Every little thing adds up.

Stranad and Cooper's penalties were bad. Especially Stranad, we held them to a FG at that point.

Strnad who has played pretty well for the most part this year had an awfullll. BRUTAL game last night, IMO.

i feel this season is over from denver controlling their destiny. it’s going to be up to other teams to lose and help out just like in 2011.

the lack of quality players has shown up the last 3 games and Payton lack of awareness in the last 40 seconds last nigth has me really disappointed in him. he’s in charge of putting the team of overachievers in the best position to win and he failed last night for no good reason.
