Official Game Day Thread: Chargers @ Cowboys - 8/21: WIN 20 - 7

[reddenedbeard]

I'm cool, but I don't buy the "just preseason" when it comes to injuries. "Just preseason" injuries become "Just week 1" injuries and on and on.

If it was a high ankle sprain or an achilles thing then I would be worried about conditioning, etc ..

It's a concussion though .. that could have been anybody and sustained a concussion .. I'd rather they error on the side of caution on this one ..

 

[Brundlefly]

I think that's a touchdown

 

[reddenedbeard]

That's a td.

concussion = get ready for more concussions

 

[ThunderHorse17]

yea good TD.

 

[matilack]

Mathews haters at the moment?

Anyone?

 

[Brundlefly]

With them bringing up the "goaline extends around the world" thing, is it still like that or do you actually need to get the ball inside the pylon?

 

[reddenedbeard]

Just get used to it .. the NFL has spoken on all head injuries.

 

[JoeRockhead]

TD MATTHEWS. But he sucks right?......... I dont think so!

Yes still here.

 

[Ride The Lightning]

Mathews sucks.

TD MATTHEWS. But he sucks right?......... I dont think so!

And it wasn't exactly an "O-line" run either, he broke a couple tackles and made his own space.

This just in, I'm on the Ryan Mathews bandwagon!

 

[JoeRockhead]

I'd rather not risk PR anymore than we have to - he's solid, has good chem with his recievers including non-WR's - he was getting knocked around, this is what we paid Billy for.

Nice to hear from you again. You are right about that.

 

[JoeRockhead]

I think IF Mathews can stay healthy he will be ok this year.
That will give us a good 1-2 punch with he and Tolbert.

 

[CoronaDoug]

That is what I want to see. Matthews staying healthy.

Garay on sideline with ice pack on right knee ... Volek in at QB.

Everyone is aware of that, but PR still needs this work to get ready for the regular season, if only to work on getting more in sync w/ everyone. Obviously NONE of us want to see him hurt, it's more Norv said we'd see him the whole 1st half "treating the first half like a reg season game" thing. Norv sucks.

I dunno... I think he looks pretty damn in sync with everyone - it's the running game that concerns me more than the passing game honestly. I bet if he hadn't been taking hits we would have seen more of him tho.

Norvellous lied but The Pretty is safe and sound on the sidelines during a meaningless game so I don't mind

 

[JoeRockhead]

Norv pounding it? When was that? Hah! Norv has not pounded the ball here.

 

[matilack]

Mathews sucks.

LOL Hey you ever notice our sign up dates were 1 day appart?

9/11 sure seems like a long way off right now, I'm tired of preseason already.

NFL preseason football is like masturbation. Better than nothing, but it's not the real thing, and you feel sad and lonely when it's over.

 

[JoeRockhead]

So true......

 

[Concudan]

All in all I think that was a very good first half. First O looked good, D looked good, and the ST shined IMHO.

The D frustrated me when they let Romo walk down the field for the TD, but looking back at some of those plays, the D was actually always around the ball except on two runs...

 

[Brundlefly]

Wait, is the opener on 9/11? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I'm going to see Bring Me The Horizon that night!

 

[Brundlefly]

Actually I should probably be able to watch the game

 

[matilack]

Is it just me or does our 2nd string defense suck?

This is 2 weeks in a row they're getting rolled up.
