So I'm watching the Denver/San Diego game I recorded, and I feel like I'm watching a blooper video. First, a Charger DB, I think his name was Ducre, literally watches as Demarius Thomas catches a pass and runs right by him for 50+ yards. Moments later, this Ducre guy decides to catch a perfect Scifres punt and tumble into the endzone for a touchback instead of tossing it in the field for a teammate to down. So Denver takes over, and Emmanuel Sanders makes a great play, but right on cue, attempts an awkward spin move and gets stripped and turns the ball over. Now the Chargers have the ball and are in business, suddenly one of their sumos loses his shoe. He then proceeds to stomp his foot into the shoe like a 3 year old would. The Chargers have to burn a timeout because this clumsy oaf cant bend over untie the shoe, put it on his fat foot, and retie the thing. It takes three Charger trainers to get the shoe back on this imbecile's foot. On the ensuing Denver possession, Osweiller throws a perfect pass to some Norwood guy; the ball pops off of his chest and is intercepted. Without hesitation, Nantz and Simms, I kid you not, suggest that Osweiller 'threw the ball too hard'. At this point, I decided to cut my losses, turn this trash off, and go for a jog. By the way, all of this happened in the first quarter.
Sadly, this is what the NFL will be in a few years if something doesn't change quickly. Mistakes here and there are one thing, but this is a farce.
i was watching this game as well, on and off, and you've hit the nail on the head. There should have been a laugh track playing in the background. I believe at one point in the first half the Broncos have 5 turnovers yet we're winning the game 7-6. The Chargers inept offense consisted of Donald Brown carries and Phillip Rivers running for his life behind one of the worst lines ever constructed. Even Woodhead failed to deliver at times, mostly due to his predictable use. 90% of the time he's in the game they just roll him into the flats for a pass. Every defense knows this and Denver shut it down for the most part. The coach and GM for SD both deserve to be canned. They have a franchise quarterback and doomed him to failure with lousy talent around him and awful play calling.
