The OFFICIAL "Glen Complains About The CHARGERS" THREAD

[OregonLAA]

Is there another team in football history who loses the way the Chargers do? A walk off touchdown? Fumbled snaps? Fumbled game winning interceptions? Jesus. And could you hear that crowd tonight?!?! No wonder they want to move!

Hollywood probably still thinks that Scioscia is a great manager because he wont the World Series too.

 

Rivers is an average QB at best now.

[Glen]

It's hard to look like a good QB when your o-line is awful.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Rivers is still a good QB but his favorite and most consistent weapon is a 35 year old TE who just came off a PED suspension.  K. Allen looks like a beast some weeks (like when he tears up Denver) but is MIA others which has been the case this year.  M. Gordon has a lower YPC than Woodhead, more fumbles and fewer TD's while Woodhead is a much better pass catcher.  Gordon still has a lot to prove and time to do it but the verdict is still out as to whether or not he's another in the long line of Wisconsin system RB's.  Regardless right now he isn't a game changer or being used like a 3 down back and frankly I don't blame SD with how effective Woodhead is.  SD needs to focus on their lines and see about adding another receiving weapon because who knows how much longer Gates plays.  Manning is done in Denver, Charles will be 30 coming back from a 2nd major knee injury and the Raiders are still young and the AFC West in the next few years is up for grabs but with Rivers towards the back end of his career SD needs to make a move.

Yeah, the Chargers OL is in shambles right now with all the injuries. RIvers isn't a mobile QB. I still think he's an excellent passer but he just isn't getting any time to do anything

[Tank]

he seems to throw more side-armed as he gets older. looks really weird.

He looks the same when he's throwing a screen as he does when he's winging it downfield.  It is indeed weird.

So how badly do the chargers get destroyed today

[bloodbrother]

Pack have 4 key guys out today....of course, Chargers have like nobody on the OL healthy

You're an idiot. Your rivers hate is flat out asinine.

He's completed 71% of his passes this year with 10 TDs and 8.5 YPA. That's behind a bad Oline as well

[nate]

Starks!

 

How many babies is Rivers going to punch after this game?

[Glen]

Gonna be a long game. Fortunately I have to leave for a birthday dinner soon.

[nate]

Man, Chargers are really slinging it.  When was the last time they even called a run?

[Hollyw00d]

Fire McCoy

[Blarg]

That was pretty exciting.

[Tank]

Rivers sets team records today for completions and yardage. Packers didn't sack him until the second half. Pretty good day for the Bolts, minus the final score.

[Spirit]

The San Diego Chargers.  Finding new ways to come up just a little short since ... well ... since always. 

 

 

Sorry Glen.

[bloodbrother]

Packers need to figure things out on offense and quick. Defense stunk out there but offense failed to control clock as well. They did tighten up as the field shrunk though which is how they held SD to just 20 points despite the TOP and yardage totals

 

Chargers play up and play down to their competition all the time

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I can't stand Frank Reich. His play calling is so ****ing predictable. You give Rivers control of the game let him run the offense, call plays, audible in and out of plays and then get down to the goal line and all of a sudden you want to huddle up and play call? ****ing ridiculous. Enough with the stupid shotgun draw play, too. ****! Run off tackle, run some pitches. 

 

From here on out, the schedule is relatively easy. We've got the Raiders this week. Rivers should rip them. Now is the time to go on a run. Denver is going to come crashing down if Manning doesn't find the Fountain of Youth. Are they going to become bad all of a sudden? No, but their offense is going to lose them some games. They still have some tough games. We've got 3 very winnable games coming up before our bye week. We MUST go into the bye at 5-4.

[Brandon]

Chargers are done, dude.

Best they can hope for is to squeak into the playoffs where they will lose in the first round on the road. They're just not that good.

[nate]

Best thing that happened to the Chargers is that Charles got hurt.  That sent KC into an offensive spiral.

[Brandon]

They both suck. No one is getting past NE or CIN

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

I think once Ben is back you can add Pitt to that list too.  As a Denver fan even with their defense I don't expect them to do anything in the playoffs unless they make a change at QB or Peyton starts visiting Arod or Bartolo's doctor.  Even if SD goes on a run they're not getting the 1 or 2 seed in the AFC and at 4 games back with 10 to play it will be hard but not impossible to take the division especially with Denver playing GB, Indy, Pitt, NE and Cincy along with 2 games against SD remaining.  Regardless nothing I've seen out of SD says they're built to do damage in the playoffs but I'm sure in true Charger fashion they'd hang around in a playoff game only to shit it away at the end while Rivers has that confused/pouty/pissed off look on his face.  

[OregonLAA]

Rivers is playing out of his mind. Too bad McCoy doesn't know how to win football games. Still can't believe they 3rd and goal play call. Good grief

[Hollyw00d]

This team is pathetic, and it seems like they get worse every week
