Rivers injured?

[sandiego17]

There is no embellishment. A couple of posters brought up Rivers part in what looked very poor play by our usually proficient offense.

'Should have' interceptions is what I was referring to in regards to embellishment. He played poorly, but he didn't throw any interceptions and made a couple plays. Granted, the best was on his first pass attempt.

Well, it's up to him and the coaching staff if he is going to play.

Knowing his make-up, he will play.

Team is going to have to do a better job of protecting him, (which will be hard against the Rams, and Chiefs, and Broncos).

He has been inaccurate, and this explains that to me.

One bright side yesterday, was that the Defense looked pretty good.

There was also a beautiful completion over Floyd's right shoulder (throw and catch) that was called back.

Gehlken: Mike McCoy on if Philip Rivers is healthy: "Yes. He's going to play this week."

Acee: As if it was ever in doubt. McCoy is a comic.

Mike McCoy on Antonio Gates' comments: "Philip has not missed a snap in practice. He's not been getting treatment for a rib injury."

Bernie Wilson: So who doesn't have their facts straight here:
Ballcoach Mcoy
Or
Antonio Gates?

Mr Gates, see me in my office:

Eric Williams: Gates says comments on Rivers having a severe rib injury were taken out of context.

=========

Looks like Rivers is fine afterall

Ghelkin was on the radio and discussed the Rivers injury and he thought it may have happened as early as the Jets game.

McCoy must have had his talk with Gates:

Michael Gehlken @UTgehlken 37m37 minutes ago
Antonio Gates backpedaled today. Said Sunday comments on Philip Rivers dealing w/ "very severe rib injury" were "taken out of context."

[richpjr]

Man, the worst back-pedal in history from Gates!!!:

Can't Michael Gehlken tell us the context? Isn't he the one who supposedly took Gates out of context?
Gates didn't "backpedal." He either told the truth, or he fucking lied.
As a former journalist, I realize Gehlken can't always know for certain when a player is lying. But, in this case, because Gehlken is the one who allegedly took Gates out of context, I would guess this is one of those moments when the reporter can report the truth.
