Your Chargers/Jags Wild Card Game Open Thread

Let’s get right to it-

To The Game!

Chargers/Jaguars:

-Christian Kirk ended the season as the league’s yards leader from the slot. Weirdly, LA’s D, which isn’t respected by anyone, defends the position very well-they’ve allowed the fourth-fewest yards at that position.

-Yeah, that Chargers D gave up an average of 27.2 points down the stretch (last five games) as they were angling for a place in the playoffs.

-Et Tu, Bewildering Decisions?”: Could Staley still be fired even if his team gets to the next round? I think he’s done if he loses tonight and the odds drop to 50% if he loses next week. The Mike Williams Mess just seems like the cherry on top of a many-layered cake of boneheaded blunders. I think if the team hadn’t lucked out by drafting Herbert he’d be gone by now. That qb’s talent has compensated for some wonky decision-making.

-I Only Have Eyes For You: Herbert will likely lean on Keenan Allen when a clutch catch is required. Over the last four games the latter has been looked to on third downs ten times and come good on seven occasions.

-Since they allowed the Lions to drop 40 on them the Jags D has played very well. They held Dallas to just enough points in order to get the upset, stomped on the poor offenses of the Texans and Jets (allowing only 3 points apiece) and came through with a fumble six when the offense was sputtering in the 4th quarter vs the Titans.

-Big Cleats To Fill: Without Williams in the game the Chargers average 3.5 points and 50 yards less than their usual average. Josh Palmer has filled in and has come up with totals of 106, 44, 56 and 60 yards but he’s not a “Go And Get The Ball” end zone threat. For that reason I think that Stetson’s own 6’8″ tight end Donald Parham will get a few looks in the red zone.

Get after it.

Battle of The Dude Looks Like A Lady has concluded. And what a bowl game it has been.

Beerguyrob

Someone check on Low Commander to make sure he hasn’t stroked out.

King Hippo

The Commander household is surely out of lotion

“The LA Charger will do his duty, even to certain death, and is not paralyzed by the feeling that he is the victim of some hideous blunder, for the blunder is he”

SHANK’LOR is getting so many soul offerings right now.

Just kidding! No one in L.A. has a soul to give.

Old School Zero

Credit to the Jags tonight. Great comeback.

Brocky

Part of me wishes the chargers would win because they potentially have a better chance of beating the chiefs

Cecil Rhodes

After the monumental choke job that we all just witnessed, I don’t think that I will ever consider this Charger team truly threatening ever again. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer owner!

Special thanks to the LA Clippers for making this game interesting

These Chargers are just like EVs. Everyone says they are the future, but they never have enough to get you to where you need to go.

Old School Zero

Specs sound great on paper but they don’t live up to the hype and lotta dumb assholes own them

Doktor Zymm

Ja? Ja! JAGURAS!

Perhaps the first half was just the Chargers of the Light Brigade

LemonJello

Joey Bosa is a whiny little bitch.

jjfozz

hold onnow he’s italian, so he can’t physcially whine

Redshirt

And Bosa is out of here!

That’s not DQ?

Oh! I almost forgot. Tonight’s cocktail was:

1.5 oz cognac
0.5 oz grand mariner
0.5 oz canton
0.75 oz lemon juice
steeped with ginger candy (or plain ginger)
shaken over ice, served into a coupe glass with a sugar/ginger powder rim (2:1 sugar/ginger)

Tentative name: Vizsla

Dunstan

Sort of a ginger Sidecar

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Very much so.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I made a Last Word.

Which the Chargers will not be having.

Old School Zero

Chargers always reward the true disbelievers. No matter the lead, I never stop doubting.

LemonJello

LIke a midget at a urinal, this game is keeping me on my toes.

Brocky

chargers miss the field goal

my dad farts so loud the dog gets up and comes to sit with me instead

Beerguyrob

Kellen Winslow Jr is rolling over in his cell at that one.

fleshwound_NPG

bad chargers special teams, love that old gag

Old School Zero

that gum you like is coming back in style

Wakezilla

Call me old fashioned, but I go for the single point on that Jags TD

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Just fire it into the tube sock and call it day

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

They should have played this game in London for the home-field advantage

ballsofsteelandfury

That was bullshit

Gumbygirl

That was dumb, jags.

total flop by Herbert, worthy of Duke hoopsball

Chargers. Chargers never change.

Lol did bosa drop a hard R?

King Hippo

Against all possible odds and logic, this ain’t done yet.

also, fuck watching yoru parents get old is hell on earth, bu even though they are older they still have that kind of scre wthe world attitude

which is a good thing

jjfozz

Oh ho. My family was over tonight for my youngest son’s birthday. If my younger sister was wound any titghter, yo could screw her into a block of wood.

Also been drinking seince before they cam eover – may be 6?

Fucking hell.

Dunstan

The thing I tell myself about uptight people is that living in their own head is punishment enough.

jjfozz

agreed, even harder cause she’s my little sister and i tsit there and think, “jesus christ, if i were you i wouldkill everyone”

she shoudl be on her medicine – all of our family is tightly wound, but thinks she know show to handle it

newfslash: you’re nothandling it, you are putting yourself and yoru family through ell

ballsofsteelandfury

Love the bourble

Brocky

I get it to a point, but sometimes the pills make you feel like you’re someone you’re not.

My armchair advice? Never get complacent in treatment, a lot of people build up resistance to medicine without realizing it

jjfozz

I get it, but wman, the cuking need for my faimly to get straight, or at least as close as possible, is out of hte bound os normal psycho whatever talkig to a shirnk

we’re fucked, and the pills will, and have for me at least, helped get on an een keel

Wakezilla

I have some downtime and get to watch the game. The Jags better make it interesting.

Also, has there ever been a season with so many mediocre teams in the playoffs?

Brocky

Pretty much every year they’ve added a seventh playoff team

Wakezilla

Seems like there are about 5 teams that are at best, a 7th playoffs team

Brocky

Point,

Last year’s wild card weekend was pretty damn awful, we just all forgot about it because the later rounds were so good

Dunstan

I was torn between wanting to see a massive record-setting blowout and wanting a competitive game, but I guess it’s been decided for me.

Beerguyrob

Have I forgotten to mention that my 60 year-old cousin from Calgary randomly showed up at my mom’s in Palm Springs today? That’s been a fun thing to deal with from a thousand miles away.

Wakezilla

Fucking Calgarians

Gumbygirl

Want me to go rough him up?

Dunstan

Gumbygirl, raining blows down on BGR’s cousin,

“And you..” (bam) “.. are NOT.. ” (wap) “my favorite!” (kapow!)

“And you CAN” (whammo!) “tell the others!” (boom!)

King Hippo

Sheeeeiit Fahr, am I gonna have to stay awake now?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THIS NFL SATURDAY I CALL IT “HAIRDRESSER’S DELIGHT” BECAUSE IT IS FULL OF BLOWOUTS.

Beerguyrob

WOULD ALSO HAVE ACCEPTED “INK MASTER”.

Beerguyrob

The Jags have replaced Trevor Lawrence with Matt Riddle. Let’s see if anyone notices.

Brocky

As much as I like Renee Russo, her bits in major league are completely unnecessary.

Redshirt

They needed a B-Plot and a good female character. Without her, all they had was “contemptable shrew owner” and “jilted wife who commits adultery”.

Dunstan

Yeah, but it hasn’t aged well. Jake Taylor comes off as kind of a stalker, and the idea that her Yuppie friends would be so dismissive of a professional athlete seems like an implausible attempt to create a “slobs vs. snobs” angle.

Redshirt

My parents and I were watching “Pretty Woman” today. They saw a love story. I saw a woman being slut-shamed just because she was in an unfortunate situation in life.

Brocky

And I just realized I made an opening for balls to make an innuendo about miss russo’s “bits”

ballsofsteelandfury

You know I’ll take any opening…

Brocky

Years from now I’m going to be on the couch in some therapist’s office:

Therapist: so what did you do?

Me: I tried to use a meta joke

Therapist: and then what happened?

Me: he out-metaed my meta joke!

sobs heavily

Beerguyrob

Renee Russo is just a healthy-bodied Julia Roberts.

I rest my case.

Trevor Lawrence has more turnovers than Tiger Woods’ SUV

“Turnovers? I’ll take 3 dozen!”

Huh, Forrest renounced the KKK and spent his last years supporting black rights?

Good for him. I guess I’ll cross him off my “Pee on Grave Bucket List”. I’ll still spit on it, but as a Southern Gentleman, he’ll understand.
