Chargers @ Bengals Game Day Thread / Post Game Discussion

OK.....but you are giving Campbell too much credit for the ball bouncing right up to hi, he didnt cause that fumble.

Exactly. Just happy he didn't fumble the gimme fumble.

Glad he made the play he did.

[jamrock]

Part of that was Campbells coverage so.....

Whatever, you can be a Campbell fan....but he blows and needs to go after this season.

No, TO’s let them back in the game. I’m actually not a Campbell fan. He was horrible in Denver. Today he made a play. Not just a play but the play. Credit where credit is due.

It was Palmer's hands' fault. The ball should have been caught.

I could not help but notice that Guyton was actually much better on a more underthrown, much more difficult catch than Palmer was on the ball he should easily caught.

Guyton also had much greater separation than Palmer did. He was 5 yards in the clear as it helps to be the fastest player on the field.

To be fair, Guyton was also interfered with and still made the catch. But to say Palmer should have easily caught his is disingenuous. And Palmer did have a few steps on his guy, so if it hadn't been underthrown, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Belichick and NE’s defense is like 21st in blitzes. But they rank 2nd in overall defense. And top ten in bringing pressure.

Yes because they get pressure without blitzing. Must be nice. So do the raiders with Gus d by the way. Because Maxx Crosby is >>>>> Joey bosa

My Chargers waxed a 7-5 team today 16-0 in the 1st Quarter and 17-0 in the 4th Quarter. They are playing meaningful football games in December again.

Nice play by Campbell, but didn't care for the way he was showboating and holding out the ball with one hand towards the end...secure the rock till yer in the EZ, please...

[Topcat]

Campbell fielded the ball off his SHOETOPS, on the fly. It was a nice play.

BTW-- good to hear Staley say postgame that Chargers players are coached NOT to do what Jalen Guyton did, lunging and extending the ball toward the goal line, as he was being tackled at the conclusion of his (roughly) 30 yard catch and run in the 4th Quarter.

Yep...saw that...could have been a fumble, but fortunately he was down...

Chain is biased so take what he says about Palmer with a grain of salt. He hasnt liked Palmer from day 1.

Fact is a better throw to Palmer and its a TD just like a better throw to Guyton is an easy TD....Herbert actually should of threw Guyton's ball sooner.

[Topcat]

This doesn’t make sense. Blitzing is your best weapon when you don’t have DBs that can hold up 1 on 1 because they don’t have to cover for long. We were successful today bringing blitz packages. Hope Staley learns from it

Correct...the whole point of the blitz is to hurry the QB into turtling up for the sack, throwing a reckless pick, or throwing it away...only way for a QB to beat most blitzes is a real quick dump off pass, or in some cases, a scramble...

I've been a Palmer fan from day 1 but that INT play where he first appeared to have had possession was so weeeeeeaaaaaak!!! If Palmer wanted to showcase how NOT to play a ball amidst tight coverage I think his example right there in the endzone would be perfect. That play has me down-scaling Palmer in a big way. At least until I see him winning that sort of match-up in the future. I was disgusted by that play. Frankly, I wouldn't mind cutting his ass after that. But that's my post-game emotions talking.

Yes, sir. Concur. Take care of business first, celebrate afterward.

I believe he was looking at the video screen,and saw the (lack of) pursuit behind him, and started hamming it up.

Not the look I'd want my team to have, were I the coach.
