Einstein Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) After the game, one of the Chargers offensive players told a Patriots player that they had no idea what coverage they were playing during the game. Then today, Orlovsky tweets this: I haven’t looked at the film at all, but i’m surprised the Patriots wasted the introduction of this innovative defense (whatever it is), on the Chargers.

Old Coot Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The Chargers also attempted several times to go no-huddle but couldn't sustain it. Their guys were getting tired. Another post asked how the 1990 Bills would do against our current team and it ws said that since today's players are bugger and faster it would be no contest. I wonder, however, whether the better conditioning of the 1990 Bills would play out. Could our present team handle a sustained no-huddle attack? Quote
Goin Breakdown Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) How in the 2026 world of football can we not have an idea. Haven't we pretty much seen it all? I mean are they playing ring around the Rosie like KC in the Super Bowl? Edited January 12 by Goin Breakdown 2 2 Quote

US Egg Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) If Orlovsky is talking all season how different could it been from when Bills/Brady muscled 28 in the 2nd half last game which was as much a must win for them? Edited January 12 by US Egg 1 Quote
billsfan89 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I think having a pass rush tee off against one of the worst offensive lines in the league (and the worst remaining in the playoffs) with their injury situation (two star tackles hurt among other issues and injuries) is probably making it easier to play whatever coverage you want and have it work. I think better OC's with more offensive talent will probably do a better job of cracking this type of coverage as in order to break coverage you have to be able to test it with protection. 1 Quote
SC STATE NUPE Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Yeah, we’ll hear some controversy in the coming months how they filmed the Chargers walkthroughs or something shady.🤣🤣🤣 I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and blame it on a west coast squad being unprepared… 1 3 Quote

It's the playoffs. You never know what can happen, and it is a fact that the Pats only scored 16 points. That usually loses you the game. They were smart to go all out. Quote
0017 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Hopefully they talk up the Patriots all week, and how great they are! Please! Quote

That usually loses you the game. They were smart to go all out. Margins for this game were slim, if the Chargers get a TD on the turnover inside the 10 or even just kick a field goal that game is much more in doubt, it was for all the awfulness of the Chargers offense a one possession game into the fourth quarter. Chargers get 3 points on that turnover and they get an additional field goal on that roughing the passer that was not called right before the half they go into that half with the ball up 6. There's no room to save a ton of stuff for later. I think they probably broke this concept out largely to practice it because as good as a strategy can be you need players that have executed it in real world situations. I would imagine that OC's with a week of film will find ways to attack it but honestly I don't think this is as innovative as the pundits make it seem. There's been combo man/zone schemes since the 90's hell NFL 2k5 had plays on defense where it was a combo of man and zone. 1 Quote

Between Harbaugh and Greg Roman, the Chargers weren't prepared. Also, it's a copout by the player(s) to shift blame for their embarrassing performance. 40 minutes ago, US Egg said: If Orlovsky is talking all season how different could it been from when Bills/Brady muscled 28 in the 2nd half last game? Exactly. December 14, 2025 (29 days ago) and the Bills score 28 second half points on the Cheaters. 1 Quote
JMM Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Hmm, I wonder how Josh was able to dogwalk them in that second half. Guess he just got lucky....😆😆😆😆 1 Quote
