Mike's catch *might* be the equal of OBJ's one-handed TD grab, except OBJ had been interfered with, and he scored a TD.

Also, the TV cameras got superb shots of OBJ's catch from all angles, and the networks just plain didn't get the same quality shots of Mike's catch.

Thoughts and observations on this game. I have extensive football knowledge, and don’t just post these thoughts with reckless abandon.

1) Bolts scored 31 points. Could have scored 32 or more if they gave a shit about winning.

2) Mike Will with the unbelievable one handed grab. If he cared about his team, all his catches would be one handed. But no, a whole bunch of sissy two handed catches that move the chains. He needs to go.

3) Herbert with 232 yards passing. Cry’s like a baby to be removed from the game. Thus, no chance at a 300 yard game.

4) Eckeler, 122 rush yards. If he would put more effort in and run harder, he could have had 150. No heart.

5) Staley didn’t go for it on 4th down once. What a coward. Could have gone 2 or 3 times. No guts.

6) Could have scored on our last possession. But no. Took the easy way out.

7) Every single win was lucky. No skill whatsoever. Will that ever change?

To all my Bolt brothers and sisters…. What a magical season this has been. I get people want more. But let’s rejoice and stand proud of the coaching staff and players. We were once 5-5 and this forum was so divided. What we’ve accomplished since 5-5 is awesome. Yes, we still got things to improve upon. But a legit shot at a #5 seed, and a season ending 5 game winning streak just makes being a Chargers fan feel so damn good. We all have suffered through some shitty seasons. I read all the posts. Positive, negative, and neutral. Different opinions, different takes. BUT…. The biggest, greatest common denominator is that we ALL are Chargers fans. I learn different things about this game from some of you. Thanks for that. I have 48 years of Chargers football and am still learning.

To conclude… My MVP is not a player. My MVP is Roo. His story hits really, really close to home. I will leave it at that. I can tell you that people in his position are my true heroes. I hope he gets a Super Bowl victory. He damn sure deserves it!!! We all deserve it. Keep fighting Roo. Keep showing the rest of us what a true warrior is. My dad once told me when I was young, “Whenever you think you got it bad, there is always someone who has it worse”. Keep the faith my Bolt family!!!!

Thanks, but I don't deserve any praise. I'm just trusting the Lord and I have many people praying for me. I'm not doing anything that other Lung Cancer patients aren't doing. I accept no credit for how this is going.

Nice to see you UT guys here, cheers.

I’ll throw a shout out to Mr Kelley - the vision and patience, followed by decisive burst acceleration as he allows the OL to set up a seam and then hits that bitch and gets to the second level is a dramatic improvement over 2020 and 2021 Kelley - its night and day. He had some tremendous carries today on his limited 9 reps.

Rountree still sucks as a RB, he earns his active spot on ST.

I don’t understand why Rountree is active and not Spiller. Spiller needs reps way more than Rountree. I really hope Spiller is active next week and gets at least 10 carries. Ek should not suite up next week.

[LinksterAC]

Well, there it was.

First complete game of the season.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

The underwear defense.

The BVD Defense? Or the Hanes Defense?

Roundtree is a much better ST player than Spiller.

On a couple of the runs Kelley ran violently. He looked like he was playing to inflict violence. I haven’t seen a Chargers RB be that physical and aggressive since Michael Turner.

Very impressed with Kelley’s development this season.

Hey Trumpet. Nice to see you again. I was over there on the UT forum with you (hllywdboy8 - worked in the Ent Int for.a few years in early 2000's hence the name) hoping for the back door that never came. I sure do miss those years tailgating at the Q and Murph.
Hoping this is their year as well

Cool beans I remember you. Hello man. I ended up working that back door angle to MF'ing death

:freakout:

Too funny.

The good old days .....
