UPDATE:

Hester, Sproles and Tolbert combined for eight rushing attempts without one successful run.  Tomlinson managed to be successful on only four of his 20 attempts.  The runningbacks weren't completely ineffective, though, as Sproles and Tomlinson were four for four receiving.

Naanee was targeted only once, but he converted a third down.  Gates was targeted five times and his only failure was the touchdown he dropped early in the game.  Manumaleuna was the only receiver to be successful on less than 50% of chances.  Jackson, like Gates, was successful on every pass he actually caught.  Jackson, though, was the target on five incomplete passes to Gates' one.  That said, there is practically nothing to complain about in the passing game making it essentially the opposite of the running game.

The defense was basically just dominant.  Until the fourth quarter when they were content to allow the Patriots to run time off the clock for them, they allowed the Patriots to do nothing with consistent success.  It was a great game defensively.  Jamal Williams and Quentin Jammer, in particular, had great games.  I have nothing negative to say about the defense this week.

Rec Dat.

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

Thanks

I love to review these.

I keep looking at run

and then 14.3%, is that really possible? 1 in 7 runs was successful?

Yeah, that was just amazingly bad.

it just feels so odd

to say the running game is the Chargers’ weakness.

By DVOA, the Chargers’ strength has been passing since about 2004.

I was pretty sure that was the case

I wanted to check on Football Outsiders to be sure, but their links to old stats are there anymore and I didn’t feel like digging through the internets to find the urls.

Teams are so geared to stop the Chargers running game that a competent passing attack will inevitably end up with better numbers. When the offense is clicking then whatever other teams try to stop will be bad and whatever they don’t will be good. Unless the other team can’t stop either and then you get games like this one or this one or this one.

This comment is hilarious to me for some reason.

For the record, this is not my attempt to imply subtly that Belichick is nothing without cheating and Tom Brady. Seriously. I am straight-out saying: Belichick is nothing without cheating and Tom Brady ~ DJ Gallo
