I feel queasy I don't trust this

 

[Duffman]

We iced him, really hope that works .

Oh sweet mother of Jesus it's blocked, this is exactly like last year's opener against Carolina .

Shelby Harris the hero!

Wow. Very similar to last year's first game.

The team needs to work on finishing! It feels good to win! 24-21!

Good night all. Overall about as good as I could have hoped for. Just need to play 4 quarters like we did the first 3.

I was holding my Denver Broncos serving plate up to the screen. I blocked the FG. Y'all are welcome.

Gave a few Broncos my score prediction so they wanted to make sure I won the predict contest.

Well I wish they could have accommodated you without giving all of us heart attacks!

Last 3 years our first game.

Vs Ravens- Stewart INT with Ravens driving late
vs Panthers- missed Gano FG
Vs Chargers- Blocked Koo FG by Shelby Harris.

Lets play KC week 1 next year!

I'm out - a happy camper, yet stressed going to bed. Feels great to be #1-0, a lot to work on starting with pass protection.

Let's hope the offense stalling in the fourth quarter turns out more like the year against the ravens in the opener and not the year against the Panthers

Never would've thought we would've been praising the pass protection and criticizing the pass protection, if you would've asked me before the game I would've Surely bet those would be flopped.

The offense looked good for 3 quarters. That 4th was a wreck. The defense was spot on tonight. Those issues on offense can be corrected. That non-call on the PI that set up the Chargers 2nd scoring drive is something they have to be able to shake off. The ensuing drive and Charles fumble was just the way games break sometimes. Then there were the sacks that made a sure scoring drive a miss on a 50 yard try. That kind of thing can be corrected too.

The idea is to learn something every week and get better. If you can do that AND win while you're doing it that's a good thing!

That had to be the worst Referee game I have ever seen .Charles was hit 3 yards out of bounds . I counted 3 take downs by LA OL in the first Qauter and not one flag .

This was one sided Ref's if I ever seen it .

Doubtful.

Anyway I am excited for the win. As @58crash mentioned a tackle on Jamaal Charles well out of bounds alongside the non call on the PI were two pretty bad gaffes by the crew. I know Chargers fans are complaining about Roby hooking KA on his pick, but Roby was indeed called for PI a couple times and the contact he did have on his pick wasn't PI. He doesn't change KA's direction or interfere with him. KA went full bitch trying to sell the PI but thankfully the crew didn't buy it. Overall they could have done a better job but we say that about the refs every week so I guess it's no news there.

Again: it's still frustrating when refs call inconsistently but a lot easier to deal with after a win. Plus the offense seemed to lose its mojo after the pic. That wasn't the refs. It's still a work in progress but there is a lot of potential here.

A better opponent than the Chargers lies ahead.
