Chargers @ WFT GDT and Post Game Discussion (Wk 1)

[equivocation]

I ducked out for 15 minutes, missed the Herbert...fumble, was it?
What happened?

Ball tipped by DE but he was clearly in a foward throwing motion. Went 25 yards forward for a touchback.

Just the statement negates the possibility. A 25 yard fumble.

Definitely explored the middle of the field in the 15-25 yard range.

you may recall against TB last season Herbert threw 2 TD bombs

You can actually beat a team like a TB over the top more because they blitz so much. A team with a DL like the WFT is harder to do it against. Both because they can play more people in coverage and because they’re harder to run on, which means less PA bombs.

Good to win but beating a Washington team led by Tyler Heneiche isn’t that inspiring.

Nassir Adderly does not impress at all. He had an INT go right through his hands giving up a huge play to Washington. Then he got flat out embarrassed on a super basic route where he gave up the TD.

I couldn’t believe it when Telesco passed on Juan Thornhill for Adderly and it’s still mind blowing.

Thank you dmac and equivocation.
Sounds like something I should replay for myself.

We won a tough game on the road in an early game against a playoff team and the amount of bitching after the win is kind of astonishing. Gotta love the internet…

[powderblueboy]

You’re looking good, brother. Some here think there is a tenure seniority system. Its the fucking internet, there is no seniority on the internet.

It has nothing to do with 'tenure'.

I'd like to see him come hard at people during a losing strength. That would take big brass balls.

Thank you dmac and equivocation.

Fumble or not, the team froze, allowing the WFT to pick up the ball in the endzone. Just can't stop on a flutter ball, ever. Still a stupid call by the referee on the 'open hand' rule.

They actually did not pick up the ball either, it rolled through the back of the end zone

Edit:
Okay, just watched it.
How do they justify the ball travelling so far in the air forward if Herbert's arm wasn't moving forward????
There'll need to be some serious apologies from New York tomorrow.
What a rotten call.

[Charge!]

There were 2 other times balls hit the ground that were possible fumbles, but no Chargers covered them up.... they just watched..... but WFT ran after them......

My bad, thanks.
