  1. Yes I believe this is correct and they are simulcasting on ABC.
  2. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2020/9/21/21448621/the-winners-and-losers-of-nfl-week-2 The winners and losers of week 2 Loser: Punting to Patrick Mahomes There are some situations when there are no good choices but one of them can still be way better than the others. For example: Let’s say you’re on a boat, and the water is filled with icebergs, and you’re being chased by a giant killer shark, and the only person who knows how to pilot a boat has just been eaten by the giant killer shark. Your options are trying to pilot the boat through the icebergs or just letting the shark eat you. Even though you’ve never piloted a boat before, you gotta try to pilot the boat, because there’s a chance you might not die. The other option is getting eaten by a giant killer shark. The Chargers chose to get eaten by the giant killer shark. Somehow, they battled their way into overtime with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. On the first possession of overtime, they gained 9 yards on three plays, bringing up fourth-and-1. They had two options: try to pick up a first down or punt. If they had tried to pick up a first down, they might have failed, giving Kansas City the ball in field goal range. However, if they punted? That meant they gave the ball to Patrick Mahomes. In a sudden-death situation. The Chargers punted, and Kansas City drove and kicked a 58-yard field goal for the win. (Due to a penalty and a well-timed timeout, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker actually hit three field goals for the win, but of course, only the third counted.) I’ll write the same thing I wrote last week: Field position doesn’t matter to Patrick Mahomes. He’ll score from 1 yard or 99 yards. Sunday, he threw a ball 54 yards into double-coverage while sprinting with a defender in his face, and it was right on the money. You can’t act normally when playing this dude. Piloting a boat through an iceberg field when you’ve never piloted a boat before may seem like a bad idea—but if you’re being chased by a giant killer shark, you’re gonna need to take some risks. Patrick Mahomes is the giant killer shark. Even if going for it on fourth-and-1 in your own territory is risky, it’s not as risky as voluntarily giving the ball to the best player in the sport.
  3. Darwin came up big on that run. Tough yards.
  4. This is gonna be a rough game if we play like we did Sunday. I think KC gets it together and pulls out another close one. LBs and Oline gonna have to step up.
  5. Well Chargers gonna Charger. This is from after the game.
  6. Well... I mean he's not exactly been a fast healer in the regular season previously. Its fine. You take the bad with the good with Sammy. As long as Playoff Sammy shows up it's all good.
  7. Yep another slugfest next week. Hope Pennel is ready to go. He'll be needed.
  8. Mahomes 6-0 in games after being behind by double digits.
  9. PS guy. UDFA last year, we signed him to ps last year after the Tits cut him.
  10. Too soon bruh. Them bears fans still have open wounds on that one lol
  11. Uhhhh.... well i guess at least he never had a spit hood put on him? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article234404137.html
  12. Good thing that worked out so well. Kid probably still can't buy his own beer in KC to this day.
  13. revised the thread title to accommodate any other crazy shit people find. I love reading old takes that time proved to be ridiculously stoopid.
  14. CC Hall of Shame nominations now being accepted... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1461778-why-the-san-diego-chargers-would-be-crazy-to-hire-andy-reid lol article from right before Andy skipped on interview requests from AZ and San Diego to meet with Clark Hunt. Just thought this was a fun read for Chargers week. Why the San Diego Chargers Would Be Crazy to Hire Andy Reid ZACH KRUSEDECEMBER 29, 2012 Alex Trautwig/Getty Images Having already gone down the retread road with Norv Turner, the San Diego Chargers might be better off going after a younger, newer name at head coach instead of Andy Reid, who is reportedly interested in coaching in San Diego next season. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Reid's interest in becoming the next Chargers coach Saturday. Reid, who is likely to be fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after 14 years, would potentially be one candidate to replace Turner (who is also likely to be fired at the end of the season). From Florio: In November, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported a similar story. According to La Canfora, a fired Reid would have "considerable interest" in coaching the Chargers next season. Interest in Reid as the head coach, however, may only go one way. Given how close Reid and Turner are in style and track record, the Chargers may not want to bang their head on the same wall again with Reid. Turner, winner of 59 games (one playoff) in stints with the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins, won 58 games (three playoff) in seven years with San Diego. Reid, in 14 years with Philadelphia, has 140 wins (10 playoff). However, both coaches have been—at various points in their careers—lauded as underachievers, and neither offensive mastermind has been able to deliver a Super Bowl title. Videos you might like While the resume for Reid obviously has more meat—almost three times the wins, five NFC title game appearances and a Super Bowl appearance—the potential hiring of Reid wouldn't do much to change the culture of football in San Diego. A younger, newer name might be the avenue San Diego is already approaching, according to NFL Network's Albert Breer. Reporting on NFL Network's Around the League Friday, Breer said that the interest between Reid and the Chargers may be a one-way street. Breer, via Kareem Copeland of NFL.com: Don Banks of Sports Illustrated took the argument one step further, stating Thursday that the Chargers may look past Reid and toward a new name because of Reid's perceived price tag. Banks also mentioned Patriots offensive coordinator and former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, Colts interim head coach Bruce Arians and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael as potential targets for Chargers owners this offseason. Much can change and likely will before now and when the Chargers actually make their head-coaching fire-and-hire, but the fit for Reid only appears to work on his level. San Diego might eventually entertain the thought of giving Turner's old job to Reid, but going in a different direction could be the most beneficial decision for the Chargers. Hiring Reid is going back to too many of the same faults that got San Diego into this mess in the first place.
  15. today is his 25th birthday so he no longer qualifies for the annual best players under 25 lists that pop up.
