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

[Formula 21]

And the story line goes that Burrows is a winner and Herbert can't win the big one.

Sorry, you can't out-quarterback a bad defense.

[Formula 21]

They're both great quarterbacks who will always be compared because they came from the same draft class. I personally don't get too caught up in the comparison, but I do find it interesting that the team with the elite group of weapons is 4-7 while we, with what many on this forum have said is the worst group of weapons in the NFL, are 7-3. With Tee Higgins probably leaving Cincinnati after this season, I won't be surprised if they spend a first-round pick on another wide receiver. I encourage them to do so, because they won't be able to match up with us on the line of scrimmage as we get more and more physical under Harbaugh and Hortiz.

We're building a team the right way.

Cincy will take that WR when they really need an OT. Build the lines and the wins will come.

Marvin Harrison - 499 yards 6 TD
Malik Nabers - 607 yards 3 TD
Ladd McConkey - 615 yards 4 TD

See what I posted in the Ravens pregame discussion thread. I made a comprehensive list. Brock Bowers leads all rookies in receiving yards and TDs. Brian Thomas (Jax) is 2nd. Conk is 3rd.

With a bottom 3 defense they probably need some defensive players

You're questioning Herbert's accuracy? Just stop it!!! Tom Brady was a better QB than Burrow because X Y & Z, hopefully Burrow will do this and that, I'm not sure -- he may just be that QB. Herbert and Burrow are top 5 in the league QB's, there is no night and day between them with the QB position as a whole.

I bet Jim Harbaugh would pick Herbert over Burrow 10 out of 10 times. That holds more weight than any point you could ever make to try and denigrate Herbert's game.

Flyfisher is not a Chargers fan .... he's a troll.
Why he shows up here, God only knows?
He was a no show on the game thread Sunday night until things started going south.

He actively routs against the team ... he was getting all worked up about the Chargers being up by 24 + against Jacksonville two seasons ago.
Fortunately for him, Staley and the Chargers collapsed.

He pretends to be a Charger fan, but he isn't. He was boasting during the off-season on how the Raiders are the better organization and Harbaugh will go there.

Riverwalk is a critical Charger fan; this creep is a troll.

The 3rd and 4th quarters the Chargers just need to execute better. The momentum swing was just players overthinking things, and thinking rather than playing thing going on. Everyone could have played better. But they got their act together in the end, and that is a big step up for the Chargers.

The Chargers need to continue to improve their fundamentals and raise the level and consistency of execution. If they do that, it will overcome those periods when we just can't get it together.

Well, are our Mods aware of him in that regard? Should keep an eye on his posts. Maybe send him a PM.

[Xenos]

Same. Conk is the only big time WR this team has. QJ and Palmer can be complimentary WRs down a depth chart. Maybe QJ still has some room to grow. But Palmer has reached his ceiling. QJ doesn't understand how to use his superior physique and athleticism to make plays with a defender on him. It's kind of frustrating to watch.

QJ is leaps and bounds better than he was in his rookie season. Giving up on him now would be silly IMO. There were definitely things that Herbert could have done better as well.

[Xenos]

Very frustrating. Doesn't have the aggression to assert himself with a guy on him and grab the ball. Go up and get it QJ! Need to see Chark. Tonight's game really showed you what a couple of premium passs catchers look like

That’s not QJ’s forte. At least not yet. Should have used him more for his YAC ability than only as a vertical threat.

[Xenos]

I have to say I love our guy Justin always (even though he stressed me out in the 2nd half tonight) but i have to tip my hat to the way Burrow is playing this year. 4-7 is not his fault

Leads the NFL in passing 3028 yards throwing over 67% with 27 TD s 4 Int 106.9

He’s basically the modern day Philip Rivers in 2010 and Herbert in 2021.

[Velo]

Tyrell was our #3 or #4 WR.

In 2016 he was Rivers' #1. He led the team with 69 catches, 1059 yds and 7 TDs.

In 2018 he was the #3 WR, behind KA and MW (though not far behind MW). That was Rivers' last Pro Bowl season, the Chargers' best season (12 wins) since the LT era. The offense was a juggernaut with Rivers having those three weapons.
