YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Oakland loss did not matter. We needed 2 more wins... yep, makes it a little easier to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 they did try. Orton didn't connect on the deep ball and there was more YAC available on some of his catches and he got tackled. 6 targets (one on a reverse) isn't trying in my book.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I seriously can't believe SD is going to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 People will complain about anything. First winning season in how long? Let's b*tch about it! Not anything; the same thing. 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I like it that they won but it felt like beating a team in the last preseason game. Not all that exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Seriously-- who cares if he got 1000 instead of 980? A lot of people. It's really not the yardage. The problem is not targeting your best player(s). 4-5 targets all game, especially when he made a spectacular play for 40+ yards to set up for first TD on the fourth play of the game is unconscionable. Beckham had 10 targets in the first half. That's what teams do with good players. Edited December 28, 2014 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather win than lose on a pick trying to get Sammy 20 more yards. Meaningless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Not anything; the same thing. 15 years. i don't think 9-7 is the same as 6-10. I choose to look forward and not continue to complain about the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 9-7 is better than 6-10, whether we like it or not. I happen to like it. Build a real OLine and re-sign some key guys. I hate the long drought coming up but it will be more interesting than a normal off season just due to the uncertainty and possible changes as a result of the ownership change.

Casey D Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I like it that they won but it felt like beating a team in the last preseason game. Not all that exciting. But that draft pick for Watkins slides further. Where will we draft, about 17? This went on the whole season. You just responded to a post that said the yardage doesn't matter. Well he had the chance to go over 1000 today. Over the year, I guess targeting him more would be great, but much of the problem was QB accuracy. as was the win OK. The only goal today should have been to get Sammy 80 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning is always better than losing esp. when it doesn't hurt your 1st round draft pick and hurts another team's pick (browns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is actually all the more reason to go to him, he makes spectacular catches on bad passes, more than any other player. The other guy who does that? Robert Woods. The other guy they don't target nearly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need to feel we suck, so I guess everything is meaningless short of being in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 i don't think 9-7 is the same as 6-10. I choose to look forward and not continue to complain about the past. I live in the present, and in the present both equal the same results; no playoffs. I cringe to think of the future with another year of Marrone, Hackett, Orton, and EJ.

He's a great explosive player-- I'm glad we have him. My regard for him does not turn on 980 v. 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
