Game 10: Chargers @ Packers - Sunday, Nov. 19th 12:00 PM

What a huge break on 3rd and 20. Feels like a defensive play we would have done. 

[HarryDoyle]

Don't score too quickly. The defense will never hold the lead.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Great throw, great catch. 

[HarveysWBs]

I’m blacked out where I live, but that sounded great on radio!

First time that has been said about the 2023 Packers?

Sigh.

[adambr2]

That was a really nice drive, but I don't know why we were rushing it.

Considering they've given up four fourth quarter leads this year and have lost all four games, no.

[HarveysWBs]

Gary shows up!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I've always hated the 3 runs in that scenario. I like throwing on 2nd down there. But we'll see what happens. 

[adambr2]

I hate that gutless 3rd down call. Pass it and try to ice the game.

I think we all know what's going to happen.

[Strike4]

Awful penalty there.  
 

Get the yards and stops the clock

[HarryDoyle]

And the Bears snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If you pass and you don't take a sack or don't make a completion it stops the clock and allows the other team to save a timeout.  On third down sure take the chance on a short route to see if you can get the 1st down.  But you can't throw the ball away and you need your QB to either take a sack or make the completion.  Rather risky to throw on 2nd and 3rd down and allow for the other team to pocket a timeout. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Thanks for catching that pass. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

And not catching that one! 

[Strike4]

How frustrated are Charger fans with 1st rd pick Johnston. 
 

wow

[DuWayne Steurer]

Right in the hands. Oof. 

[HarveysWBs]

Wow, another game that is as much about incompetence as positive plays.

I know how it works. But 2nd down is when they're likely still pinned against the run. On 3rd down they're half expecting either. If it's 3rd and 7 just run again and make them use the timeout.  But I always take the risk of throwing once to end the game.  

[adambr2]

Let's be clear, the defense blew it there. Johnston just dropped it.

Yeah, today it's been more the San Diego offense shooting themselves in the foot than the Packers D stepping up.

[adambr2]

Haven't had a lot of fun ones this year but that was a fun one.

Love played great
