Bengals at Chargers Game Day Thread (Week 11) | Post Game Discussion

I know it was right after a tough loss. I know that he is upset about contract issues. But Jamar Chase sure seems like a bad teammate listening to his post game. Everything is someone else’s fault. He caught 7 of his 13 targets.

I think the game last night was nowhere near scripted. It was a battle of two teams playing hard to get the W. I’m glad the refs called a fair game and didn’t get in the way.

This. ^ Bravo.

Agree...the Bolts and Bengals are two very evenly matched teams...great game...

Derwin led the team in tackles and had a half sack and batted that ball down to end the game.

Tuli 1.5 more sacks dude is on 🔥

Henley hits hard- really hard.

Pay Poona! Pay that man!

Hop on the fun bus haters! Go Chargers!

^ This...and to think...Churro's Hail Mary pass almost worked...thanks, Derwin!

Herbert had an inaccurate half for sure. But those passes to QJ were catchable. Mike Williams comes down with every one of those. He has to be more aggressive attacking the football. At this level they can't all be wide open on the money dimes. You have to help your QB.

MW spoiled us. His gift was going up over the defender to make those contested catches. QJ doesn't do that. He waits for the ball to come down to him and defenders who go up for it are able to get a hand on it and then QJ is juggling and dropping a tipped ball. There's a world of difference between guys like Chase and Higgins and QJ.

Not that I care enough to look at it again, but when I watched the play in real time I thought Quentin Johnston was caught off guard by the terribly inaccurate pass. It was Herbert's fault. Not Johnston's. Herbert was terrible for most of the second half. He came back and did what he was supposed to on the final drive. There's no shame in recognizing that Herbert sucked for about 25 minutes of last night's game.

Again, it was out in front of him and he got his hands on it so how it could it have been that bad of a pass? Yes, it was slightly in front of him but you make it sound like he sailed it 20 ft away from QJ. I still say if he dove he has a chance to catch it.

No roughing.
Bang bang play.
Screw off Mike.

Agree...what's Poona supposed to do when he's going full blast towards Churrow? Suddenly put on the brakes to his 310#? SMH...

Herbert has to be perfect.

Bengals have really good WR's!! DB's were having a hard time with them. Chargers do NOT. McConkey is going to be real good. But he is not a wide big body type that is needed on teams. The rest are just average at best. Those that defend QJ need to realize he was a #1 pick and not a 4th round one. He is not impactful, cannot separate and his routes are to rounded. Yes, JH "slightly miss" but really good WR's find a way to come up with some of those. QJ never does. He also does not catch with his hands ( see Higgings of Bengals ). On deep ball receivers need to adjust and try and position themself in the optimum catching point AND to shield the DB from interfering. Randy Moss was the best I ever saw do this. He would have slowed up and timed his jump to catch the ball ( with his hands ) at the apex. QJ will never do this. He is just OK but not #1 round pick good. It was a busted pick.
Charger need more help on D, more OL help and mostly another really impactful WR.
Jim Harbaugh sometime looks ( just the looks because he does know his stuff )befuddled on the sidelines. Has anyone else ever notice this?

Agreed. Hate the rule, but it's a QB driven league so the uppers, say shall we call them The Ones That Don't Want To Be Sued, had to make up something whether it defies physics or not. If he doesn't wrap up and try to muscle him to the ground and he escapes it's "What a Terrible Tackler".

When the chips were down, Herbert knew Ladd was the guy to rely on and made 2 great throws. The second one with a guy right in his face. Not many guys can do that.

I guess the refs in the Bills - KC game did not get the memo on the script for undefeated season for the Chiefs since not only did the Bills not get called for anything late, but KC got called for a hold wiping out a first down.

The conspiracy theory script thing is just...sad.

here's my conspiracy...they've been getting called out for their chief favoritism so had to silence the crowd a bit lol!
