Chargers/Bengals game thread

[MTC]

Let's go Chargers!

[snkdy]

I don't know if the Chargers can pull this off, but this game should be fun.

[MTC]

Both defenses playing fairly well so far.

[MTC]

TD Danny Woodhead. That speed. :O

[amazingcolts]

He's fast, that's for sure. Especially for a guy his size.

[MTC]

Andy Dalton NEEDS to make that throw on third down. That was poor.

 

Edit: And now Rivers missed a wide open target. smh

[amazingcolts]

sad. I could make those throw and I'm horrible at throwing the football..

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Lol Joseph Addai changed his name and started playing in the secondary.

[amazingcolts]

What a catch!!!

[buffalo34]

You mean this isn't a Bengals playoff game where Dalton's highlights consisted of a few field goal drives?

[Corndog]

Huge play by Butler, but it's being challenged.

[House]

This play is identical to the one where we should have gotten the ball off a fumbled reception.

[MTC]

That's a fumble. No question.

 

 

BUT.... it's JEFF TRIPPLETE's crew!!

[MTC]

That was a horrible drive for the Chargers. 

[buffalo34]

You've got 1:50, a TO, and one of the more productive QBs in the league with Rivers, and you decide to run it 3 times and go against getting points before the half?

 

I hope Bengals score a TD here (and a TD to start 3rd quarter), and if they do, Chargers deserve to lose this game.

That was just horrible play calling. 

[MTC]

Bengals are driving. No surprise. 

[MTC]

That's a tough play to judge. He caught the ball but did he have full possession? Hmm

[21isSuperman]

Dalton threw his first postseason TD

[House]

How can they review this previous play when they already spiked it?

[MTC]

Dalton threw his first postseason TD

 

In his third playoff game.

 

[GoColts8818]

Oh Jeff Tripplett never change...

 

You continue to spot light just how bad the officials in the NFL are every week. 

[buffalo34]

And if Bengals get a TD to start the 2nd half, again, it'll be reason #10540060 why you take the ball to start the 2nd half (chance for 10 consecutive points for Bengals).

[21isSuperman]

10-7 at the half.  Anyone's game.  Neither team worries me

Yes!  Agree so much!  I don't see any reason why you would want to receive in the first half

[21isSuperman]

In his third playoff game.

 

On a pretty loaded team too

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Well, this game seems rather uneventful after yesterday. :bounce: Lets hope for some more drama in the second half!

[MTC]

Bengals receive the ball first in the second half.

[jvan1973]

i hope one of these teams plays better than this next week

[House]

Someone needs to explain to me how that last sequence made any sense at all.

[MAC]

I was going to say the same. In particular, why wasn't the clock stopped when the receiver stepped out. They speak as if there is some minor technicality that precluded it from stopping, but I don't get it. I've watched a zillion games but don't remember seeing that before.

[MTC]

That was NOT defensive holding.

 

Edit: Okay good there was no foul.

[-JJ-]

he was stopped in bounds at forward progress.

[21isSuperman]

6 first half pass attempts?  Why so conservative?

[21isSuperman]

I was just thinking the same thing

[MTC]

The backup center for the Chargers has been playing really well. 

[21isSuperman]

I would have loved Burfict here in Indy

[amazingcolts]

I want some exciting ball this half. So far, it's been kinda meh..

[MTC]

Clutch throw Rivers.

 

ROYAL!

[21isSuperman]

The Chargers are moving the ball easily
