The Chargers offense continues to be completely unable to run the ball with success.  They still managed to be successful on 2 out of every 3 passes.  The only problem was that two of their 13 passing failures were drive-killing, momentum-killing interceptions.  If Rivers can get that cleaned up they may be able to survive without a running game.  Floyd had a monster game and I hope when Chambers is fully healthy that Malcom isn't the one to lose playing time.

The Chargers defense still can't cover tight ends.  They did a fine job covering everyone else though and completely snuffed out the Chiefs' running game except on third and short, which is a little troubling.  The defense under new coordinator Ron Rivera came out a little slow stopping the Chiefs on only 45% of plays, but in the second half they were dominant with a 65% stop rate.  More of that please.  The defense won this game and I think that's something to be happy about.

I keep meaning to ask

How are penalties handled? For instance is the pi call on Hart designated as a success on the third down pass category?

DPI is the only penalty I count as a play.

by Richard Wade on Nov 12, 2008 4:28 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

The logic being

That the defender was stopping a successful play from occurring by committing the penalty.

Homer: Ohhhh, The Denver Broncos.
Marge: Whats wrong with the Denver Broncos?
Homer: Marge you just don't understand football.

I'm also pretty sure

That there is a correlation between DPIs and successful offenses/WRs/QBs.

Homer: Ohhhh, The Denver Broncos.
Marge: Whats wrong with the Denver Broncos?
Homer: Marge you just don't understand football.

I’m petty sure you’re right.
