Saturday Wildcard Games Thread

Chargers just suck. If you think Cowboys have been choking since Romo they’ve been doing the same since Rivers…..Sean Payton may be what they need to fix it.

Jags have done this to multiple teams this year though...you know, including us.

Hooked it

 

[Nav22]

Same as Prescott when we faced the Jags? Same standard?

Did Dak's team blow a 27-0 lead in the playoffs?

Or was that Justin "27-0" Herbert's team?

 

[jwitten82]

Hooked it

I thought he missed that fg, looked like it was going right

 

[SuspectCorner]

One thing in Cowboys favor?

Kicking game is solidario.

 

[kuyyo_morro]

Staley should be fired through his headset.

I saw the post about how those who don’t like Dak would be exploding if he QBed a blown lead like that. I try to avoid all of that, but my thought was the opposite. If Dak did what Lawrence just did, our board would be about nothing but the 4 interceptions….lol.
Lawrence and Herbert are both supremely more physically talented than Dak. That’s why they were big time college talents and drafted high. Yet, it really means nothing until one of them goes farther than Romo or Dak in the playoffs. Herbert is still at the back of the line for another year. Lawrence has tied them. Hahaha

I’m not a fan of their personnel. I think they are too good too soon I think they needed a top 5 talent in this draft. I don’t see many elite options on offense right now. Etinne has potential to be that.

Agree. I think they need to add some pieces, but deserve credit for being ahead of the curve.
Coach deserves a lot of credit.

 

[RFABR]

Do you remember one play where Matt Ryan choked away 28-3?

Didn't think so.

He took a crucial sack that pushed them out of FG range

Coaching matters and tonight was proof of that.

 

[Motorola]

That's a low bar for a guy who is supposed to be an elite QB.

Chargers got gifted 20 points off turnovers. Herbert was very mediocre tonight

I agree; 25/43, 273 yards, 1 TD

 

[mattjames2010]

I really can't understand that.
There's no one that has ever been his teammate that has said anything but good about him.
You must have issues of some sort.
Or maybe you hate Christians, even ones that don't shove it in your face but are humble about it.
There are hateful folks like that out there...maybe you're one of them

Some people just hate any player that lives up to their hype. Manning faced similar blowback.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Try to find some pundit or league insider who agrees with you.

Maybe if Charger all-pro tackle Slater had played, and if WR Mike Williams had played...you could make the argument

So now we are using the argument for guys being hurt? Guys are hurt all over the league. You guys can’t do this. This team was up 27 points!!!! With Herbert being responsible for 6 of those points. Playmakers on offense and defense. The defensive mastermind in Staley. The best route runner in the league in Keenan Allen. One of the best dual backs in Ekeler. Everett and Palmer…..

Khalil Mack, Asante gave them 3 interceptions today….., Bosa…..he doesn’t get the no talent excuse. Who wants to argue that the Jags are more talented than the Chargers?

 

[TheCoolFan]

If they end up with Payton/Fangio then this choke job was worth it for the Chargers. Lose the battle but win the war!

 

[mattjames2010]

It always leads back to Dak. Always lol.

I mean, Nav22 is on his D constantly. Just trying to figure out if Dak was the face of the collapse since, you know, what just happened to the Chargers happened to us a few weeks back.

 

[Nav22]

He took a crucial sack that pushed them out of FG range

Yeah, nobody remembers that.

They remember 28-3.

 

[kuyyo_morro]

One thing which gets missed out is: Pederson going for a wide sweep on the 4th and 1 and going for 2 when there was an opportunity instead of playing safe for FG and tie.

 

[Nav22]

Rent-free.

Yeah it’s not a bad thing being too good too soon. Especially if Pederson is a good coach. Ahead of the curve.

 

[mldardy]

Lol at all the people on here defending Herbert who wouldn't be defending Dak if the same thing happened to him tonight.
