Open Thread: Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers, 2nd Half

in San Diego Chargers Game Day Open Threads
Email
PrintThat's about as good of a half of football as I've ever seen from the San Diego Chargers. Playing against what was referred to as "the best team in the AFC" before the game, the Baltimore Ravens, the Chargers' plan of building a big early lead is working to perfection.
San Diego is yet to punt in this game, converting all three of their drives into points. Baltimore had the ball 4 times, resulting in a TD, a missed FG, a punt and then time expiring at the end of the first half. The Chargers hold a 10 point lead, 17-7, at halftime and will receive the kick to start the second half. If they're able to get the lead to 17 points, they'll all but take Ray Rice out of the Ravens' gameplan.
The key to the game has simply been superior talent on the offensive side of the ball for the Chargers, specifically in the passing game. Malcom Floyd, Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates are getting open consistently and Philip Rivers is putting the ball in their hands. The Ravens, and Joe Flacco, haven't shown anything that says that they can compete in a shootout like this.
Fingers crossed for a few more TDs and zero turnovers in the second half.

Run defense (or lack thereof) still worries me
Still, if Rivers and the offense can keep playing like this, then I like our chances.

As jkvandal said
the team is just so much better with him
"Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?"
I hold my breath every time he gets tackled
because he breaks something every 5 tackles or so…I’d like to keep him around next year for sure but we really need to be sure that we don’t lose too much explosiveness if he’s injured, as history tells us is pretty common with that guy.
I think Brown's success means one of Jackson or Floyd is gone.

As usual. This team has all the right parts but simply cannot put it together when they should during the bulk of the season.
There is still a slim chance of a post season, and honestly other teams must be shitting themselves to face a fully functional Chargers team. Still, we should have been in charge of our destiny, not hoping for others to fail.

My logic says that Manusky shouldn't be fired until he has a full offseason with the players
but my logic also says that you need to rush more than 3 players when you are playing Tom Brady…so clearly the logical side of my brain in conflicted on Manusky.

And Barnes should be in on passing downs only.
"Were such things here as we do speak about?

I thought this earlier
but I think he’s a positive force in the locker room, playing-wise, endurance-wise, and he provides a positive mental reinforcement
So, Cooper V2?
I think a guy that’s good on the field is more valuable. Particularly for a starter.
"Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root

Spikes is fairly good at run-stopping duties
and has been effective at sniffing out screens. I’d like to think Butler’s development has been somewhat due to Spikes ala P. Willis. I’ll admit, his pass defense isn’t too solid, but it could be worse.
One more scoring drive
And it’ll be Volek time.

I don't get to see all the games...this is Rivers' best game of the season, right?

Yes
Acee thinks it might be his best game of his career.

Could Flaco's mustache be more hideous?
Glad he had a bad day.
Baltimore deserves a loss just for allowing him to rock that stache!
didn't Rodgers have one like that for a few weeks?
He’s just trying to channel his internal Rodgers…and failing
Jeff Kent's moustache would like a word with Flacco's

Just wonder
if this performance will save Norv and AJ
pretty much
On the other hand, you have different fingers.

Norv? No.
AJ? Yes.
It shows that the Chargers have the talent to match up with the best of the AFC…but they may not get that chance because of a 6 game losing streak riddled with mental mistakes…that’s on coaching.
However, it did show that this team has issues with depth and that’s on AJ but I think his job is safe for at least another season.
Mathews with distance.

34-7
Didn’t see this coming

Should have
Of course they dial it up when playing with house money. They always do that in the playoffs to. They win the games they should lose and ALWAYS lose the playoff games they are favored to win (see Pats and Jets twice)
Is it possible to sneak in at 9-7?
What needs to happen?
Another Jets loss and KC beats Denver?
I seriously think we can beat Detroit and then it ends in Oakland.
Or the Jets?
"Were such things here as we do speak about?

We need to win out
A loss by jets and Cincy to get wildcard

Denver needs to lose out for us to win the division
If Jets finish 9-7 and we finish in a 3 way tie with them and the Titans we’ll likely go.
You can play with scenarios here: Playoff machine.

Not sure.
I think the Bengals needed to lose today or something to make sure we’d get that tiebreaker.

Jets could finish 8-8 though
And we could go at 9-7.

I think the Eagles are just playing well
Jets play the Giants and the Dolphins to finish the season. Home v. NYG. Away v. Mia.

Jets probably beat Buf...........
Possible loss to Miami…………..
Broncos play BUF and KC
Jets play NYG and MIA.

I I recall correctly
It works out better for the Chargers if the Bengals lose to Arizona and beat the Ravens.
"second base is the bizness." -jbox
Bolts from the Blue - San Diego Chargers Blog Created By The Fans, For The Fans
we would need the Jets and Bengals to lose 1 more and win out.
A 3 way tie for 9-7 would give us the tiebreaker based on Conf record, and eliminate the head to head loss to the Jets
Damn it, good return.

Worst possible scenario
Chargers go 2-0 and miss the playoffs at 9-7 because they get into the wrong tie-breaker, especially if it keeps Norv around.
It would probably mean they finish in 2nd place
Which means that we’d probably get the Jets again instead of the Mia or Buf. We’d also get Ten instead of Jax.

Gachkar and (especially) Bird are always trying to start something.

He's an asshole
But Gachkar is always getting into something on special teams.

This Chargers blowout probably gave Kim Jong Il a heart attack.
Or that’s who I’m giving credit to.
