Chargers/Bengals Game Thread

[ed bell]

100 years of combined existence... Only one championship, and that was fifty years ago. Depressing

[El Chingon]

This game is not over yet. Chargers giving the Bengals too many chances.

OK, it's over!  Terrible performace by the Bengals. so much talent but they don't perform. they've become the Cowboys.

[stirs]

cant have an off day in the playoffs

Yeah, but consider the points the Bengals could have had if Dalton was "on" and not throwing picks when points were at a premium.

 

oh i know. been worse if it were red zone pics.

 

but 6 pts is hardly insurmountable.

 

the bengals had no adaptable offensive gameplan.

dalton is a hot and cold qb.....if cincy are smart ...trade him to houston for the 1st overall pick and send their 1st pick there too and take bridgewater...and start over

[Mr. Scot]

"If the Bengals are smart" is a question that answers itself.

I'd argue the Bengals need a new owner as much as - arguably more than - they need new coaches / personnel.

Anther Schottenheimer.

Nah, Marty made it to the AFC championship once.

Funny you say that: When I watch all these pre-game shows, so many of them talked about how "the receivers [of said teams] need to step up". But you notice, you never hear that about the Panthers, cause every knows their receivers are so bad. lol

 In all honesty, I sometimes feel teams that have QBs like Cam tend to create a sort of psychology where a Receivers know their job but when they have a QB that can do it all, it sometimes cause them to either be lazy or complacent. I saw that with the Eagles and now the Panthers. When more "traditional QBs" are under center, these Receivers and RBs know they are the "workers" and bust their asses or be replaced. 

 

Even worst is when fans let everyone off the hook but the QB on their team, like some enjoy doing with the Panthers.

Chargers win.  Good.  I like Rivers.

The loss was indeed a team effort.

[Goondal]

I wonder what happens if AJ hangs onto that ball early in the fourth quarter

[beastson]

Ima leave this here

 

 

[Davidson Deac II]

Yes, but I was stating it wasn't  clear enough to overturn. 

 

You said it was a dumb challenge, I was just pointing out that they didn't challenge it.  It was automatically reviewed.

I know Andy has one more left in him!!!
