I think it was foolish to take the penalty and give the Raiders a free play . Huge tactical error. Bolts had all the momentum, they likely punt in that situation, if not make them put that on the line. They go for it on 4th down and miss they give us a short field in a one score game while our offense is moving and we have all the momentum. 3rd and 14 gives them a free play, of course they are going to try and convert that, why give them that chance? They were out of field goal range and McCoy gave them a free play to get closer instead of forcing them to gamble and go for it. Conceding you can't stop them on 4th and 1, and giving them a free play because your so scared you can't stop them and are afraid to even give them the opportunity to gamble and go for it, is chicken shit.

Have you seen the Chargers defense?
It's not surprising that he had absolutely no faith in the players or coachesHashtag thepowderblues -

In hindsight their clearly is.Originally posted by oneinchpunch View Post
But its all moot on the very real chance that they punt. I highly doubt they go for it, they wouldn't want to risk a negative play. Should have at least allowed that possibility instead of being chicken.Last edited by BlazingBolt; 10-07-2013, 12:30 AM.migrated from chargerfans.net then the thenflforum.com then hereComment

I think there was a 100% chance they go for it on 4th down IMO. I don't think we stop a 4th and short. Assuming that I prob take the penalty. That being said, we can't contain a mobile QB to save our ass. We simply have no speed on the D line. Ingram isn't a speed rusher either so he's not going to help.Comment

Even so I think you decline the penalty. It's a two step gamble if you decline. One they have to go for it and two they have to make it for you to lose. Take it and all they have to do is make it for you to lose. Decline and you may win with out even having to make another play. Statistically I think you should decline. Not to mention you are making yourself take the gamble instead of forcing them to make it. Bad strategy to assume all that and make a decision based on that assumption.Last edited by BlazingBolt; 10-07-2013, 12:46 AM.migrated from chargerfans.net then the thenflforum.com then hereComment

Containing a mobile QB is on a 3-4 DL?Originally posted by Beerman View Post

Someone should ask Allen if he would have punted. No one in the Sd media bothered to ask McCoy about the decision.migrated from chargerfans.net then the thenflforum.com then hereComment

Usually our DE are busy being downfield. Maybe they're trying to cover the curl zone?Comment

Someone should ask McCoy about his concussion.Dean Spanos Should Get Ass Cancer Of The Ass!

They had Pryor on the next play but missed the tackle.Comment
