Alex Smith Out Against Chiefs. Chargers Will Win

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Well... one half to go either in the season or to the playoffs.  I just don't know if we're going to have enough players left to pull it out.  The offensive line is 5th starting center, 3rd starting right guard and now RT is injured.  Willie Smith wasn't getting the job done, Fluker's back out there but at what %?  

 

2 safeties and 1 db went to the locker room in the first half, fortunately Addae is back. 

 

Frankly, if we pull it out I just can't imagine us going very deep.  

 

However, I'll be rooting for my Blue and Gold to the end :-)

How is your heart rate the last few weeks

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Heart rate is pretty depressed right now.  No OLine no offense.  The D is in it even with all the players lost in the secondary.  Any other QB but KC's would be carving us into little tiny pieces.  

[oldunclemark]

Got to get a stop now..or its over 19-7 early 4th

[oldunclemark]

Cant see the game here and 'Red Zone' keeps cutting to meaning less games..

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Six sacks against Rivers.  Every time he has time he is connecting (if he's throwing).  This possession we're moving the ball.   1st and 10 on 13

[oldunclemark]

TD!...19-14

[Shane Bond]

TD SD, not over yet

[Girlzarefanstoo]

First down on the 3.  9 minutes left 7-19

[oldunclemark]

refs didn't want to call the pass interference..

got to go on 4th down

[oldunclemark]

Philip didnt make a good choice there..had a little more time

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Bad no call... He hit Eddie Royal early.  

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Philip didnt make a good choice there..had a little more time

Don't know why we didn't run on at least one of the attempts.  Our run game has been decent today.

[Girlzarefanstoo]

D gets them off the field.  Gotta get clicking on all cylinders.

 

I have to tell you I want us to win and be in the playoffs, but not if Rivers is going to get hurt because we don't have a line. 

[chad72]

The AFC North might have 3 teams in the playoffs. Things not looking good for the Chargers.

[Girlzarefanstoo]

That's going to be the game....  Next man up has it's limits.  I haven't seen the total injury numbers but WORST year ever isn't too hard to imagine.

 

It will be a long, long off season to get healthy.

[BloodyChamp]

Is Norv Turner calling the plays? No gotta be...gasp...Marty!

Seriously you call a running play from the shotgun on 4th down at the same guy who just owned you on 3rd down.

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Uuugghh....  ugly, ugly loss.  

 

Good luck all that are in the playoffs.  

[oldunclemark]

SD gave it all they had....probably should have been done last week...

...too many injuries

[oldunclemark]

Cant believe KC won with a backup QB..but home field was big today

[oldunclemark]

They sure didn't make any pass interference calls late ion this game

and yeah, I know that's whining

[Girlzarefanstoo]

I'm not whining about it, but it was a reality.  Very poorly called there in the final quarter.  

 

In the end, we just flat ran out of play-makers.  We over-performed considering our personnel, which is a tribute to the coaching and veterans that are mentoring the young guys.  We wouldn't have lasted in the playoffs and probably would have seen more injuries.  Probably better that we're out in the long run.  

 

Our team has to perform when their back ISN'T against the wall and take people out of the game.  Until that starts happening regularly we'll just be one of those teams that tease you with their potential.  *Stop me if you've heard that one before*

Chargers looked like a powerhouse halfway through the season, and Rivers was an MVP candidate. Quite a tumble, partly due to a bunch of injuries on the offensive line. Critical offseason for Telesco and McCoy...

[shakedownstreet]

***k the chargers

Thanks and you're right.  Add in injuries to the punter (huge impact) the secondary, out top 3 running backs, top wide out and the main injury to Rivers himself.  He's superman but even he can't play his best with serious injuries.  He never quits trying though.  

[Moose Of Woe]

In recent years SD has fallen on their faces out the gate only to storm back late and make the playoffs. This year was a total reversal.........plus the injuries were insurmountable.
