Game Thread: Wild Card: Chargers v. Bengals

[DanBengalfan]

The Chargers were supposed to be the team that shouldn't even be here, they were not even good enough to beat the Chiefs backups (well, actually they did, but not without help)

Tate gets good returns when he runs forward

 

[Cincyfan78]

Good run to start it off.

Keep pounding away.

Also, heard from a buddy in IND massive rain on the way

 

[Cincyfan78]

Dalton, a couple of runs, and diving forward instead of sliding.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Either the guy on defense was holding or not. You don't throw the flag and then pick it up. Makes zero sense.

Dalton running the option on some plays, going head first to pickup extra yds..

You know he wants this game

San Diego will become more aggressive passing now.

 

[alf8478]

Once the qb is out of pocket, defense can hold receivers

 

[ckhokie]

3rd and 4 and our QB is 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage. There is an issue with that.

I was typing that!

Once the quarterback leaves the pocket there is no holding on defense.

Why isn't vinny Rey playing??!

 

[Gypsumstack]

Goddamnit, not Burfict

 

[futballiscool]

Rivers is hitting over 85 percent of his passes

 

[NCBengal]

The 5 yard pass is on today. We need to adjust.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I was thinking that the flag was thrown prior to him leaving the pocket.

Oh well.

 

[DanBengalfan]

3rd and 5, stop them now or they will score

 

[DanBengalfan]

rivers has the 1st down.

good grief.

we are going to let them score.

 

[Cincyfan78]

If you are bringing the blitz....cover the short routes.
