Coaching is just killing this team....

The Chargers, with help from the Refs, get the stop that we need to finally get. This is not setting up well at all for us.

They will not let us just win this game...... Ticky tack at best

STUPID

I don't know why this defense is playing the way they are, but yet again, it's another scrub QB looking like Montana against us. McDermott just is so puzzling.

I get that Von is coming off an injury. He's had a nice rush or 2 the last few weeks, but has been a shell of himself. Yeah.....I am worried that he won't find it at all this season, but I am even more worried he may never be the same and that contract will just be an anchor. I mean, it did take Tre a full off season to get back to form, and maybe Von will be fine, but man.....

UGH......can never get a 3 and out.

The official literally telling the WR what to do multiple times and he didn't do it.

That was a big drive there. Much needed. Now the defense has to find a way to get a stop and not allow that dreaded TD after scoring a TD. We might be looking at that Shakir catch as a season saver. We'll see if we can finish this one.

Really good stuff from Shakir there...... Might have been the biggest play of the night because that allowed the big Davis catch to even happen. Now they need to finish this.

Our offense just hasn't looked right all game. It you are just talking about the passing offense, outside of a couple of explosive plays, we haven't shown any consistency since early in the Eagles games. Our run game has obviously been pretty good, but we don't have a good passing game right now at all.

Just a terrible call..... Guess he's supposed to let him just run right through him. Refs going to keep the Chargers in the game.

The defense needs to figure out how to get some pressure this half.

I don't know what's up with Diggs, but I hope he can play in the 2nd half. Been slowed since the first play of the game. Not sure if it is an ankle or what. Need that guy healthy, though.

BOOM

The Chargers should be using TOs, but I'm glad they're not......

OK, offense...... it's been a bad half for the most part, but it's time to put the hammer down. Another 7 here would go a long way to sucking the life out of the Chargers. It would be a huge shift in this game. The problem is, we haven't been able to sustain anything. Our only positive play was a broken play that worked out. We need better.

Needed a quick stop to continue the momentum and, of course, the defense can't tighten up.

BOOM

Matt Parrino @MattParrino Bernard is running on the sideline testing whatever the injury was. That's a good sign for now.

Whelp.....that was pretty much the exact opposite of what I thought the game plan would be going in on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. If you were ever going to go blitz heavy, or at least use simulated pressures, this was the game to do it. Coaching is still head scratching on this team. Figure it out....

Thank you for kicking.....

The Bengals are going to kill them. The Steelers are complete trash. I doubt they win another game.

OK.......messed around with the Playoff machine and found a way for us to clinch a Playoff spot before the Dolphins game happens. I am picking games the way I realistically think they could go, not what would be best for us. If we get some help from some unexpected sources along the way, it may offer more options. I'm just not counting on them. Obviously, we have to win the next 2. WEEK 16 Bengals beat Steelers (Of course we would love it if the Steelers could pull off the upset, but I think the Bengals are going to blow them out) Colts beat Falcons (Again, go Falcons. Indi is trash, but they somehow keep lucking their way into wins. But we will be rooting for this to go the way of the Falcons) Broncos beat Patriots (It feels dirty rooting for the Pats*, but we could really use them to find a way to beat the Broncos. Just don't see it, though.) WEEK 17 Raiders beat Colts (This is the one I am stretching on to get to where I want to be. I think the Colts will probably win but hopefully, we can get the Colts luck to run out. If everything else stays the same, but the Colts win both of these games against the Falcons and Raiders, we're still at 82%, but no guarantees) Jags beat Panthers (Go Panthers! HA HA HA!!!!!) Broncos beat Chargers (Go Chargers, but it ain't happening) Chiefs beat Bengals (While we all hate the Chiefs, this is one we need to happen) WEEK 18 Assuming we win the next 2, there is a good chance this will be your Primetime game as it could likely be for the division or maybe a Playoff spot itself. I am not sure how they will schedule the other games (the could obviously schedule the other games to happen after this one if the put the Bills and Dolphins on Saturday night), but if we do play after everyone else, here is what we would need to have a spot clinched before the game: Browns beat Bengals (HUGE ONE HERE...... If it goes the other way, with everything else remaining the same, it brings a lot more teams into it and drops our chanced to just make the Playoffs without winning the Dolphins game to in the 60% range) Texans beat Colts (Again, this keeps other teams out of the equation) So, that is how we can clinch a Playoff spot with a win or loss against the Dolphins. If the Colts keep finding a way to win, that is really bad for us. Ugh.....they are so bad, but just won't get out of the freaking way and their remaining schedule is cake. If the Colts beat the Texans in Week 18 or if the Bengals beat the Browns in Week 18, it will be on us to win or we will be having to hope the Raiders beat the Broncos. In all honesty, we are all Raiders fans from here on out. They affect multiple games. Not a great feeling having to rely on that team to win games for us, but it is what it is. Obviously, if we win out, we're in and could possibly host a Playoff game. That is the ideal situation. But, if you are just looking to find a way to get in, even if we lose that Dolphins game, this is the scenario to make that game meaningless in regards to just getting in the Playoffs.

Ah.....I'm just messing with you. I am just too focused on trying to find a way into the Playoffs let along finding a way to the #2 seed. My main goal right now is winning the next 2 for sure and finding a way to make the week 18 game against the Dolphins only for the Division and not having to win just to get in. I am not sure that is possible with all the teams at 8-6, with our terrible tie breaker record, and the remaining schedules of each team. It looks more and more like that game will be needed just to make the Playoffs even with winning the next 2.
