Charger Eagle Nonsense - Week 2

[SD]

I DVR'd the game and am through the first half. If it's at all possible the defense and specifically the DBs look worse on tv than they did live.

[SunMo]

i know after looking at all the yards and plays that the secondary gets the brunt of the blame.  but we all knew the secondary was shtein this year, the only way to negate that is with a passrush and there was NONE.  they blitzed so much yesterday and never got close to getting home.

[ice grillin you]

yeah the lack of a pass rush was a travesty

[SD]

Last week they pressured the middle on RG3 forcing him to roll out of the pocket because they knew his knee wasn't healthy. That strategy would have worked against Rivers too, but they keep blitzing off the edge and through the guard/tackle holes.

Hold onto the farging ball Casey you farging waste.

Nate Allen has a job and Kerry Rhodes is on the street.  Someone explain why.  Because he might be/is gay?  If the team with 60-70% black dudes on the roster hasn't revolted after KKKooper's comments, I think they can deal with having a really good player on their team at a position of need who likes to cover tight ends.

Hold onto the farging ball Casey you farging waste.

yeah that set of downs was a killer....you dont get down there in the first place without shady but because he ran like 80 yards on the catch he was gassed and didnt play again on the series (i thought the team was in sports science shape)....still tho casey has to make that catch

[Zanshin]

It was really more of a pass saunter than a pass rush.

Yup.  It was a bad throw from Vick, but still a ball that Casey could and should catch.

McManus:

If it looked like Rivers knew exactly what was coming, well, he did, according to several of the Eagles' defensive players.

"Phillip Rivers just seemed to know everything that we were trying to throw at him," said Cary Williams.

"They understood some of our calls or whatever was going on, it looked like he knew exactly what DeMeco was calling to a degree. He knew exactly what we were in to a degree. It was unfortunate. Sometimes you get outwitted, sometimes you get outplayed and I think today was one of those days."

Rivers was able to get the better of the Eagles pre-snap. Connor Barwin explained that the no-huddle attack that the Chargers deployed wasn't in the name of getting the snap off quickly. Instead, San Diego just sat at the line of scrimmage, allowed time to tick off the clock, and waited until the defense showed its hand. Once it did, the veteran quarterback made his adjustment and exploited the vulnerable area.

"We fell into it, showed our hand early, which I'm sure we'll look back on tape and say we should have figured it out earlier and stopped showing what we were coming with," said Barwin.

Whisenhunt was familiar with Davis' crap from the NFC West days and knew how to attack it

[ice grillin you]

i wonder if the sd coaches knew cary williams would have three penalties

McManus obviously reads my commentary. 

And you gotta tip your hat to the Chargers game plan.  They were running a no huddle and getting to the line with 20+ seconds left on the clock, but Rivers was in no hurry to snap the ball.  He was reading the d and making adjustments once the d showed their hand.  He's a punk bitch, but he's been around the league for 10 years now and he's a fairly smart QB and he was  just having a field day with them. 

[SD]

You've gotta credit Rivers. It's not like he has mega talent to throw too, his passes are right on the money.

farg you Henery for not even getting close with that FG. They drive the length of the field and that's the best you can do? Skinny bum.

[SD]

Fletcher Cox" "farg you bitch"

[Sgt PSN]

That was only the 2nd time an Eagle defender touched Rivers all day and this time it was only because Rivers initiated the contact. 

[smeags]

the defense stinks. we know that.

but the defense wasnt rushing the plays and staying in bounds not stopping the clock on the drive before the two minute warning.
