Game Thread: Week 17 SD at Denver

[Duffman]

Well that's the way to start the game.

 

[Malibu]

Great start. That's the Thomas I want to see.

 

[Duffman]

Not liking what I see from this defense so far, the Chargers are playing with what their 3rd string O-Line and we still have 0 pass rush.

 

[Duffman]

Way to fuck it Sanders, good god that was 100% on you.

 

[primetime714]

Sanders' fumble really stings

 

[Duffman]

This is what I'm talking about with blown opportunities, no reason it shouldn't be 14-3 right now but Sanders can't cover up the ball.

 

[Malibu]

The lack of a 3rd wr this year does show at times.

 

[Duffman]

And now Brock throws a pick, not his fault but this is where my lack of faith in this team comes from. We have dominated the Chargers and yet it's only 7-3 and we're down -2 in the TO department.

 

[Duffman]

When everyone expects us to do well we always find a find a way to fuck it up.

Nothing more frustrating than when a QB throws a perfect pass, but gets an INT because of a deflection. UGH.

There was no need to gun that pass. Norwood still should have caught it but it wasn't tight coverage not everything has to be a laser. Brock puts a little touch on that pass and it's an easy catch.

 

[Duffman]

No excuses, we need a TD on this drive. No cute shit, no playing it safe. If our redzone Offense can't produce a Touchdown against a 4 win team and a Defense missing half their starters we flat out suck.

 

[iknowftbll]

Wow. Third turnover. We are somehow making the Chargers look silly while getting outplayed at the same time.

 

[Duffman]

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T FUCKING DESERVE THE #1 SEED. THIS TEAM IS ONCE AGAIN CHOKING AWAY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

 

[Duffman]

I can't even blame the Offensive line, they've been great today. This team is just blowing it like they do in important games.

 

[iknowftbll]

^ We don't "not" deserve it yet. Who else deserves it more? A pair of 12-4 teams the Broncos have already beat? These turnovers have really undermined a great offensive performance, but a win is a win. They have to hold onto the damn ball and stop letting SD hang around. This is correctable and a winnable game.

I'm just tired of saying maybe this time we'll be different, the team that always blew big games or choked away a win is a thing of past. But just like against Oakland we had the #1 seed and then proceeded to blow it because when the game matters Denver's no where near the win column.

 

[Duffman]

7-6 with 4 turnovers, that about sums up this team.

 

[iknowftbll]

Fourth turnover. This team had better wake up. It's 7-6 in a game they should be dominating. They snapped out last week against the Bengals after starting the game in a complete malaise. They'd better do it again this week and stop giving up the ball.

Totally agree. In a game where the likely swing is #1 seed or #5 seed you'd expect this team to elevate their game, but offensively I don't think they have the talent (OL in particular) or the coaching.
