2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[Immortalfire]

Today's Broncos/Patriots was 2007's Georgia/Florida.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I'm impressed by the Chargers offense. They drove down the field on the # 1 defense in the league and scored. Ravens need to come out and get a TD to stay in this game.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

The Chargers' offense has always been explosive but the injuries at WR, TE and the O-Line have crippled the offense.

The same could be said about our defense. Our front seven has been banged up all year long. It's a reason why our D doesn't have a large number of sacks and interceptions this year.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well they are doing pretty good so far...all they have to do is try to at least hold them to field goals and the Chargers could take this game. Plus Rivers has a habit of having a great December.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Great. The Chargers' defense better step it the f*** up. They totally Norved themselves on that last drive.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I doubt it thus far. They didn't stuff the rushing assault once on that drive and pressure the QB. They had multiple third downs and they failed to get off the field.

Our defense can't keep playing like this. That's two drives we've given up a large quantity of yards.

We're gonna need a miracle.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well, I'm torn right now in this game. I want to see the Ravens lose because it will really help the Steelers but I put Flacco in as my QB in my fantasy league...so I need him to produce...and I also have Gates on the Chargers to produce...so...haha, I'm torn.

So far this looks like it's going to be a pretty offensive game unless the Ravens D tightens up after that first drive.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Heh, I want the Ravens to lose because it will help the Steelers, and Rivers is my fantasy QB, so that's even more incentive to root for the Chargers. However, the person I'm playing against has Ryan Mathews on his team, so I'm hoping that the Chargers don't win this game by running the ball.

Well, so far Rivers has been lighting it up. Chargers just went up by 3 now. I think I'd be more pleased if the Ravens lost. Steelers clinched a playoff spot and I'm looking for them to get a better spot and some home field advantage!

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Come on Chargers. You gotta score points on this drive.

 

[Boom]

Flacco needs to shave that... thing.

Right now .

 

[SpideyInATree]

Wow, big play to Jackson! Ravens are gonna really get themselves in a hole here.

Yeah, I'm definitely happy that the Steelers clinched, but I want them to win out (and the Ravens to lose at least this game) so that they take the division. It still seems like a longshot, but it can definitely happen.

Flacco needs to shave that... thing.

Right now .

Yeah. That mustache is horrid. It makes it easier to make fun of him but... I don't want to have to see that hideous thing when I'm watching football.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well Chargers get another score...up by 10 now. Doesn't look good for the Ravens so far.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Well, that TD hurts me a little fantasy-wise, but I'll take it. Keep it rolling, Chargers!

 

[Poeman]

Jets still control their destiny due to strength of victory over Bengals.

wtf

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well if the Jets play like they did against the Eagles the rest of the season they don't have much of a destiny.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Haha... Sacco.

 

[Poeman]

Well if the Jets play like they did against the Eagles the rest of the season they don't have much of a destiny.

They were out of it essentially in two plays at the start...going down 14-0 just like that...All because of Holmes.

It totally screwed us up.

Last 2 games vs Giants and Dolphins. Christmas Eve will determine who goes to the playoffs in NY i think

 

[SpideyInATree]

Yeah, I mean the Giants played like poo today too. I wouldn't count the Dolphins out either...they seem to really be playing hard. The Jets could do it if they beat the Giants and with some help from some of the other AFC teams losing...namely the Bengals.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Cautiously happy right now... giddity.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I really want to see the Bengals in the playoffs but I'm just not seeing it. I'm hoping they win next week and the Ravens pull their top players in two weeks (preparing for the playoffs) and give the Bengals the last win. That's the best I can hope for but I don't know.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Wow, another touchdown for Chargers...man, did not expect this at all! They have got some work to do! And JH...they way the Ravens are playing now they may want to keep their starters in to keep a decent spot in the playoffs! Especially if the Steelers keep winning...then the tie breaker won't mean crap.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Damn, my Chargers are on fire!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Haha, Flacco throws a pick right after almost throwing another one.
