Chargers/Bengals Game Thread

[Goondal]

Why would they review the play if forward progress was called? I don't care who wins, I'm just wondering...

 

That is a good question.  The fact that the ref kept the clock running means it had to be forward progressed since he landed out of bounds.  Nothing at all was clear about that sequence.  Luckily it turned out the right way (Bengals 3 points) even if the process was screwy.

Andy Dalton and his repeated high throws... wow.

Wait, wut?

His receivers are catching that poo?

They're allowed to do that?

Yeah, right!!

 

Dalton, had a stretch, where he threw about 7 "high" or off target passes in a row, and they were all caught. 

 

Several of them, were spectacular "bail out" variety catches. 

 

Who would have thunk it, according to many Huddler's?

 

As the late Jim Nabors/Aka Gomer Pyle would say: Well "Golly-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dalton always has high passes. His receivers can bail him out, but there is a reason he is good for a completely disastrous game here and there.

[Kakarot]

Dalton is off his game a little bit, but his receivers are helping him. That's how it's supposed to be. Everybody on the team is getting paid.

Chargers are playing not to lose and it'a killing them.

[intangiblejohnny]

Great run!

[Goondal]

Cincy, you are not going to win this game if Dalton has to do it with his legs.

[intangiblejohnny]

Hold

[FootballMaestro]

I envy those damn Bengals. Dalton can just fling it when he's in trouble while Cam has to be perfect even when his protection falls apart.

 

Yeah, I think what "some" of the huddle doesn't realize is: Some QB's can just chuck the ball up high or in a certain dirction, cause they know their receivers will either catch, come back for, or bat the ball way from the defender. As you stated: Cam doesn't have that Luxury. 

 

Put Dalton on the Panthers, with their line and receivers, and he'd be woefully average. Maybe even bad, with his inaccuracy.

You're right but he is faster than I thought.

[Mr. Scot]

You're right but he is faster than I thought.

Not fast enough to be a real threat though.

[FootballMaestro]

Yep, so instead you hear "Cam needs to step up", "Cam needs to do this", blah blah blah.

I really hope a certain few huddlers are watching these games this weekend but I doubt it.

 

Yup Yup. It should/would be very helpful to them, since so many appear so memory or Football deprived outside of Panther games :phew: .

Good point.

Or its because Dalton and Rivers put it where only their receivers can catch it. Something Cam can't do.
