Tease.

by The Land Of Real Beer on Dec 10, 2011 10:29 AM PST up reply actions

Reality

This is going to be some kinda reality check for pom pom fans after wins against Jags and bills them get demolished by Ravens

by thomaspowell on Dec 10, 2011 10:23 AM PST reply actions

Well, if and when we lose, the doomsayers will be happy.

This is the age of the upside of losing, remember.

by The Land Of Real Beer on Dec 10, 2011 10:30 AM PST up reply actions

We lost to them the previous 2-3 years too

Close games, but still consensus seems Chargers are worst and Ravens are better than previous matches.

by Lightning Hobo on Dec 10, 2011 10:32 AM PST up reply actions

Still both inconsistent enough for whichever result to be unsurprising.

So the question that arises is

Why only 13 carries?
run moar lol

"I promise you, we’re going to build a dictating, dominating, attacking defense. I’ve said it a million times. It’s not a slight on our offense, but we’re not going to win any world championship until we have that." - A.J. Smith

The theory goes that

Matthews ran for a lot of yards because we ran so few times and cought them off-guard when they had to defend against it. Using the pass to set up the run.

by Lightning Hobo on Dec 10, 2011 10:34 AM PST up reply actions

Exactly! And I love it!

Thats why I loved the Eagles offense they used the pass to set up the run

by njg425 on Dec 10, 2011 10:36 AM PST up reply actions

To the point where Westbrook put up stats like LT, right?

by Lightning Hobo on Dec 10, 2011 10:38 AM PST up reply actions

Baxter for Hardwick? That sounds like crazy talk...

DO IT.

On side note, bewsaf is really high on Clary + Vasquez run blocking and Vasquez being back on the line sure helped our run game.

He was IR'd

by Nohm on Dec 10, 2011 10:54 AM PST up reply actions

I really wish Buster and Merriman were still playing and making an impact

Though I’m a bit glad they aren’t when buffalo is playing the Chargers.

I hope they are doing those crazy treatments Spikes seems to be doing to recover between games, they sure need all the help they can get staying healthy.
