I don't think Phillip Rivers is the answer...

[Oudaman90]

I mean, yeah his o-line sucks but he has to make them better. He's way too old to be going deep all the time and throwing into double and triple coverage.

Definitely sarcasm. He has a crappy o-line and he's pressing...thoughts?

[Oudaman90]

Yep. Bottom line, you DO need a good o-line or your QB is going to struggle mightily. We're in week 9 now. Competent teams know they can win a game in the opponent's line is bad. And a QB is going to suffer from declining production trying to make something happen. Its happening to Cam and Rivers. Neither one is their most recent game. They're both closer to what we've seen earlier in the season...

Rivers has some horrible games because he takes chances. He can throw an interception because he actually releases the ball as opposed to dropping back 20 yards, getting outside the pocket and then still taking a sack.

The result is still the same...an L...

[Mother Grabber]

can anyone in the AFC challenge the Broncos?  I thought it was going to the the Bolts, but it doesn't look like they are for reals.  Hopefully the Ravens, Chiefs, Pats or Fish can keep them out of the big game.  Chiefs v Cards would be awesome.

The Dolphins have been a good team for years. They just never can go from good to great and playoffs. They're one playmaker away usually.

He's missing Woodhead more and more each week.

[thefuzz]

He's missing Woodhead more and more each week.

 

My thought as well.

 

Rivers was almost brilliant when he had Woodhead and Sproles.

[General_Purr]

He needs a few more weapons.. he is a solid vet now and is game as fug. I think his O line is great but pretty fuging slow... they are just huge... Fluker is a goddamn tank and King Dunlap is like 6'9 330. They play against great pass rushing teams... yeah they def miss woodhead.

 

 

[Kevin Greene]

What a drive to beat the Ravens in Baltimore.

Rivers is outstanding.

[BuffaloBills62]

Rivers will bounce back next year with weapons reloaded.  He's got a pair of good TE's, some good RB's, some underrated WR's and just needs help in front of him on the OL.  OC Reich is quickly moving up the ranks of the NFL coaching ladder.

Bounce back?

How about this year.

Next 2 weeks Pats and Donkeys come to town.

Win those games and the Bolts could be looking at Home Field in the Playoffs.

They could get hot... but if they finish 1-1 here then I would still be surprised.

 

They'll have to outscore an offense that is on fire without D Thomas.  Running for 200 yards a game in the last two weeks.

 

Then play the Panthers who have a lot to be fighting for with Miami and Buffalo both biting at their heels.
