Dolphins @ Chargers Game Day Thread | Post Game Reaction (Wk 14)

[Formula 21]

Play call of the year.

The roughing the QB call on the Dolphins.

Maybe the best call the Bolts have gotten from the refs in years. And it was BS in my opinion.

We probably would still have won, but that breathed new life into our O.

So, u r telling me there's a chance?

Want to hear the most annoying noise in the world? : )

[Formula 21]

I also have to say an ugly win is a hell of a lot nicer than an ugly loss. MIA was just whacked last night.

Is this the first game in, well, forever, where our linebackers were #1 and #2 in Tackles/assists?

[chargeroo]

Five pressures? It seemed like 30.

I can't wait until the Chargers get Slater and Pipkins back.

Does Zion seem like he's been regressing recently? He was so stout early on, but recently he's been beaten easily fairly often.

Zion does seem to be having trouble with pass blocking lately. I give him a pass for last night because Christian Wilkins is an elite DT. Remember Zion had to sit out a couple of practices so maybe his injury is more of a problem than we know?

Offensive line will jell in January.

The officiating was really sketchy.

Asante Samuel was flagged for PI based on marginal contact, while Josh Palmer practically got horse-collared coming out of a cut, and no call was made.

The Chargers played the most press coverage they’ve played all year. That was the difference.

This^^. Charger cornerbacks are pretty good man covers….M Davis is better than advertised and Samuel is good too, wish he had better hands LOL……Keep the press coming, and James should be back to lend support. I’ve been waiting all year for more press, Bravo!

Not the only difference but true.

Yeah, all 3 of those were really bad calls. Since 2 of 3 went against us, I'll take the roughing blown call.

Another STRONG effort from an undermanned D, and Teams!
Not to beat a dead horse, but 2 FG in the second half? While there were some good play calls in the last half, something drastically needs to change on O.
It's good having most of the skill guys back; hopefully production will increase as they spend more time together in live game play.

I agree, he’s been shakier the last half of games than the first half. Not gonna worry about it/him, lack of continuity on both sides of him may be whats throwing him off. He had Pip and Linsley for the early part of season. Some plays he just lunges and over-extends / over-commits and is made to look foolish by savvy DTs.

yes, Christian was/is a beast and he does that to a lot of OGs. Grain of salt from last night alone.

Rookie blues … ride it out, he’s got the tools, intelligence and pedigree to make it. He’ll learn on the obvious technique errors. I wonder more about OL coaching as a whole - most of our run problems are they are too often not in synch with each other or whatever the play design was. Idunno, experts here can amend and correct …
