2022 NFL Football

[olbriar]

Don't be sorry. As Charger fan, we are conditioned for this. Injuries and bad luck is what Charger football is all about.... lol

It does seem that you have more than your fair share of bad luck. It is the time of year when most all the teams are suffering from injuries. They are hard to escape at the intensity the game is played. The fortunate teams manage to keep their impact players on the field. The loss of Herbert would doom the chargers to the great abyss of the standings. I'm glad he's still hanging in there. They need better protection for him and limit his scrambles or he won't survive.

sigh......typical chargers

sigh......typical chargers

I thought you played an excellent game. It was lucky that we scored with so little time, yet I was afraid we left too much time for your offense. My guess was the game was going into overtime and whoever won the toss would win the game. I feel very fortunate to escape your stadium with a W.

 

[Unforgiven]

How did the AFC East become what I thought the AFT West was going to be? All teams at least 2 games over .500 Of course, the pats are riveting entertainment. Nothing like a game tied 3-3 until there are 5 seconds left.

 

[olbriar]

I was watching all of the early games on the sports plex. I had made up my mind that the Jets / Pats would go into overtime and end in tie.
Crazy ending...

i'm sorry but i am not a fan of aaron rodgers. i am glad his team lost. though i hate players getting hurt, i have no pity on him.

my team squeaked by with a last second td and a 2 point conversion. its good to see Justin Herbert have a good game for once.

 

[olbriar]

Aaron is having one of those maybe I should have retired after last season sort of year. I am sorry he was injured. I'm surprised he hasn't missed playing time before now. Between his lack luster line and receivers and his less than agile mobility, it's amazing he's still playing.
I'm not a fanboy but I do respect him as a player.

I saw your W.. congrats.

 

[ocnbrze]

sigh......another typical charger defeat. we have no o-line and no d-line. herbert had no time to throw the ball. he had 4 sacks before half time

our window is closing fast to make the playoffs.

edit: i really hate the raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[olbriar]

I'm no raider fan. KC took it on the chin today as well. Steelers won!

 

[ocnbrze]

so that raider vs rams game was pretty something else. i saw the raiders were up and pretty much gave up on the ramsn. thank goodness for Mayfield!!!!!!

i hate the raiders ....glad they lost. that is one less the Chargers have to look in the rearview mirror as we try to sneak in as a wildcard.

 

[olbriar]

Considering the time Baker had with the Rams, his performance was outstanding. I'm not a Mayfield fan but his last offensive drive was impressive. I was happy that the Raiders lost.

 

[ocnbrze]

come on zona!!!!!!!! if they win, the Chargers will be in the 7th seed wildcard spot. if the pats win, the Chargers fall to 8th and out of the wild card spot.

that was a great by the Chargers. but i swear that on side kick almost gave me a heartache towards the end of the game. it would have been yet another typical charger loss if that happened......thank goodness it did not.

edit: well with kylar murray out now, and down 2 tds in the 4th quarter, i doubt the cards can comeback. but who knows crazy things can happen.

 

[olbriar]

I was pulling for the cards. No reason beyond tonight's game looked to be their best chance of getting their second home field win of the season. I felt sorry for them.

 

[ocnbrze]

Stupid Brady......he should retire now

I guess we are on the outside looking in......... for now.

What was up with three NFL games on yesterday? Saturday, this time of year, is my day to watch college basketball. I was forced to be a recording maniac in order to watch the games I was interested in. It was late last night before I managed to work my way through them all.

college football is all but over and so it makes room for the NFL. if the NFL had it their way, football would be on 7-days a week. the NFL is a money maker so it makes more sense to air those games vs basketball.

If the Bears don't get rid of their kicker Santos I'm going to scream Missing a point after is unacceptable, I saw it last week and i saw it today.

The NFL Antitrust Exemption precludes Friday or Saturday games before December, or something like that.

so with the pats, dolphins, and jets losing this week, and the chargers winning, the chargers are now in the 5th spot for post season play!!!!!!!!!

 

[olbriar]

The Chiefs managed to punch their post season ticket today clinching their 7th straight AFC West title. They certainly didn't and haven't of late looked like a post season team. In overtime, due to a turnover, they managed to beat the one win Texans. A stumbling offense and zero defense definitely left me doubting their post season run.

The Steelers looked good today with their victory over the Panthers. Behind their backup quarterback, and better play calling, they moved the sticks regularly and enjoyed a 24-16 win. Their defense played well which helps keep them in most every game.

What the hell was New England thinking???? That sort of desperation play happens when you must score to tie or win. Simply taking a knee would have forced overtime. That seemed like the logical way to end regulation. I'm sorry but that was ugly. There is no way that play was called from the bench... or at least I seriously doubt it was.

 

[ocnbrze]

Yeah no need for laterals like that. They had a tie, take the tackle on go into over time. I think that is going to be talked about all week ong on sport TV and radio shows. I am glad it happened though.

 

[AugieTN]

The Steelers backup is Mitch Trubisky. He was the Steelers starter for the first few games. Then they went with local rookie. Mitch was with the Bears and he was a good quarterback and it shows in his stats with the Bears, but the Bears had a bad coach.

 

[olbriar]

I like Mitch. I do think the Steelers' future lies with Pickett. Both are better than Mason Rudolph. I wish they would have stuck with Mitch while their rookie future watched and learned. It was not Steeler like to bring in the kid when they did but it was what the fans wanted. Mitch is too good to be warming the bench. I hope he gets a starter job somewhere next year.

 

[olbriar]

Too funny not to share...

You've got to love fans!

 

[ocnbrze]

that was a very nice Steeler win over the raiders. they remain alive in the hunt for the wildcard spot.
