Ravens @ Bolts GDT, Fighting for the #1 Seed... and post game ranting

[blueman]

No offense to the Ravens, but hard to beat the refs. Also if [insert any QB's name here other than Rivers] head had bounced off the turf like that, fines and flags would be flying. I guess the league really really doesn't want the AFC playoffs to go through Stub Hub.

Also to note: minus the refs, the Ravens are completely beatable.

I think the Ravens D is for real. Our OL is week on the RG spot for sure...blitzing up the middle just gets us. I was surpised we didnt have the screens setup and werent going for the shorter throws to keep the drives moving. Rivers had 3-4 seconds max per play and wasnt able to check through his progressions due to it. Whiz needed to call something ...frankly we were running the ball ok and i felt like we gave up on it even though a close game with time.

Ravens played near mistake free...no nonsense we will run it to chew clock and get a play here or there to score. Nothing fancy and we controlled their offense fairly well except for the TE miss for the td.

Move on. Learn from it. Go beat Denver. Be ready to rumble in Pittsburgh or NE or Baltimore.

It doesnt matter, rifht now this team iz built a certain way, the charfers are fools gold this year, we look good, we play good until its an actual test. Theres no way a legit team can play this bad in all 3 phases of the game and be a true contender. We have to get better on our oline, dline, linebackers,free safety, we need alot of work. Yeah weve won tough games at pitt and kansas city, but what happened when a defense clamped down on us?? We lost, we lost to the rams and chiefs who bullied us, we lost to the broncos by shooting our self in the foot and we lost to the ravens by getting dicked down like a girl on prom night.

After a bullshit set of penalties in the 1st qtr I said to my step-son Ravens fan that the NFL wants the Ravens in the playoffs, and he laughed and said "yeah."

This, any Chargers fan, who watches that and doesnt see the blatant fix that was in is deluding themselves and wants to believe the Chargers are bad. This was an obvious Fix game and if you think the NFL isnt into optics then you dont understand the NFL money machine at all.

Whoa man, I get that youre upset, I am too but lets clean that up alright?

[Boltx]

I wasnt talking about the year, was this game called fairly in your opinion?

There were 3 big missed calls IMO - the KA offense PI in the first quarter, the missed PI on BMW, and the missed roughing on Rivers.

Now obviously any one of those could have changed the complexion of the game.

That being said, the Ravens mopped the floor with us.

So you think thats ok? You think the ticky tack holding calls vs us were not executed by the ravens as well? You think we were the only ones holding this game? Really?

Don't even look at the bad calls that were made, look at the non-calls. So blatant.

Agreed, Im just putting them together but no doubt the non calls were sick.

[Chargerville]

If we face KC, Pitt, or NE we'll have a chance.

Houston, Tenn, or Baltimore and we'll get spanked.

move Addae from free safety
move Schofield from RG

Silver lining: All 4 losses in LA. Chargers are road warriors

And still in the playoffs. Ravens...maybe.

Unfortunately this team like every Chargers team in the past 15 years is still very weak in the trenches. Some of this is because of injuries, unfortunately.

What's more worrisome is that the OL seems to have regressed badly the past few weeks. Just blitz Rivers up the middle and he's a sitting duck. He's having a great year/career but this has always been his fatal flaw being so immobile.

We're also backing into the playoffs with a dinged Gordon, Ekeler and Bosa, among others.

I feel like we wasted all our kharma on Pittsburgh and KC. No more fun and games. We're about to face either a pissed off Pittsburgh team or a very confident Baltimore team and I don't think it will end well for us.

Maybe we can draft another RB in the first round next year, though.
