Gameday thread Chargers at Cardinals 9-8-14

[Brian in Mesa]

Just got back a little before 1:00. What a blast. So good to walk out with a win on MNF.

We got there 75 minutes before kickoff and there were many loud and boisterous Chargers' fans in attendance. They weren't so loud and boisterous at the end of the game.

Who called the timeout? It was long expired, even Rivers threw the ball down in disgust

SD's head coach, he was directly next to a ref on the sideline and got it in before the playclock expired.

Just got home to. Went over to section 121 after Warner made his speech and no one was there....

OL was awesome besides a few plays. They seem to tire towards the end. The D was great but pass rush was nowhere to be found. Foote is a beast! Palmer came around with accuracy toward the end of the game. Wish it was through the whole game, not just the end. If they would have lost, I would have a different tune then I do now, but we didn't.

All through the 3 qrt I was fuming! I feel much better now though.

Never in doubt for me. 1 down, 19 more to go.[emoji106]

I think the Chargers are a slightly above average team and will likely be in the playoff hunt all season. The defense was impressive but until late in the game our offense was quite disappointing. I don't expect our offense to struggle like this most nights so I feel pretty good about this win.

If 400+ yards of offense is considered struggling, that's a good thing.

Did you guys miss me?

I did,

Crazy game to end.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

It was huge to get the first down on the last drive. Oline and Dwyer made it happen

 

[BullheadCardFan]

And ESPN almost didn't even mention Warner. Waited until the end of the game and gave him about 10 seconds.

Thanks for everything Kurt, I will always remember you

I said our offense struggled until late in the game. Are you really disputing this? 6 points until the 4th quarter is disappointing in my book.

Consistently having a long field and the inability to get the ball to their best player (Fitz) accounts for the lack of scoring. Only two three and outs on twelve possessions. They moved the ball enough to keep San Diego backed up, but didn't put any long drives together until their backs were against the wall.

Come on now, not their fault our TE's can't block 1-on-1.

Carson was running for his life at times. Upon a second viewing, I do see that it was mostly our TE's that sucked.

They had some struggles, but I was being a bit snarky last night. I don't get why we let our TE's block a pass rusher like Freeney 1-on-1.

1st Q observation: The @AZCardinals pass rush may set new NFL records against the NYG offensive line next week.

Um. He does know that we don't have one of those, right???

The Cardinals had I think about 210 yards in the first half, more than in the 2nd half. Take away the fumble in FG range and convert the inside the 10 possession to a TD, and that is a 10 point swing, turning 6 into 16, which is on pace for 32. 300 yards passing, 100 yards rushing, 108 QB rating, 4+ avg yards per rush, 9 different receivers is not struggling in my opinion. Obviously areas to improve and the 3rd quarter was dismal but my point is there were some good things to take away from this. I don't remember the last time the Cardinals had this many weapons on offense, and this without an every down power runner.

It was 11 different receivers I heard.
