BEHIND ENEMY KEYBOARDS - Week 1 Edition @LA

[VBCheeseGrater]

OK so we got lucky this afternoon. I was about a foot to the left of not having to write this column, because no one wants to see this stuff when we lose, and more importantly, I sure as heck don't feel like doing it when we lose!

So here's what Chargers fans were saying before, during and after this football game...

...on the fact we travel well....

Myself and a few others will be there cheering hard for us to win in a sea of Fish fans.

That stadium is pathetic. There are way more dolphin fans than Charger fans. WOW.

this is looking like 0-2. no crowd noise... no fight

Dang. Listen to the cheers! Crazy. (after our game winning FG)

Harbringer of death comments...

41 yards, right down the middle *exhale*

just wait until the 4th quarter pal, you'll be breaking sh**

Ok, time to see our new kicker do something

Mwahahahaha!!

It is the last 10 minutes I am worried about.

Wiseman of the LA board, obviously

C'mon all we need is a fg

True!

Here we go, boys. Buckle up!

good idea....

Wow, just wow...

...on universal football fan gripes...

would like to see a series where we don't try to run on the first 2 downs because it makes Lynn feel good and that puts us in a situation where PR doesn't have to adjust the call based on the defensive set.

Why is a LB covering a WR? Is that a Gus Bradley thing?

not just us then?

Let's see...first down...run, second down...run...third down...incomplete pass...zzzzzz.....

If I see a run on 1st and 2nd down again I'm going to pull my hair out

I hear ya, brothers

Anyone notice that quick snap by the Fins...why can't RIVERS do that once in a while instead of letting the stinking clock tick down to 1 second while he is busy audibling so Gordon can go up the gut for no gain...

yup, just insert "our QB" for rivers, hear ya

Terribble call.

Offense too predictible

yours too?

When you're counting on your D to win the game, your O has issues...

was thinking same thing....

This team is looking like the same OL team no killer mentality, mistakes, mistakes !!!

We did cut on the mistakes today, so nice to see that.

This is why we lose games. Critical mistakes at critical times. Holding? Come on.

Us too buddy

O-line has killed so much momentum for i dunno how manys years now that its not even surprising anymore.

Sure you're not a fins fan??

pack it in boys, season is over.

Really, you belong here!

Game isn't over yet guys.

alright, good point lets see what happens then...

Wow, 54-yd fg is good...

....in the "we get no respect" and/or "look at their team" dept...

i was excited for this season, but if we lose to a cutler miami team at our first home game... done

must be nice to have a run game.

Good throw by Cutler I gotta admit.

God Ajayi is twice the RB Gordon is. Gordon is so slow with his moves. Hope I'll regret saying that

Ajayi ran through a hole that looked like parting of the red sea. 21 yds first down. C'mon Chargers!

Wow just wow were about to lose to jay cutler

Rivers and cutler duel it out. Gordon vs Ajayi part 2. Shouldn't be a problem

Didn't Ingram say same thing?


in the "there's one in every game thread" dept...

Anyone have a way to stream online? My old way has dried up.

watch it bud, don't wanna get banned!

i got rivers and henry in my money league

yeah yeah, screw your league real team needs a win!

Ajayi is on my fantasy team. I'll trade his points for a Bolt win

See he gets it

When the game is over and you have nothing much to do, go back and read your own posts. You are VERY negative. Loosen up and have some fun, young man.

i'm with you, but there's still one of you in every game thread...

Come on defense. About time to get the turnover.

pretty much me in our game thread..

Come on defense. Bend, but don't break.

Hey it's the only nice thing to say....

we cant tackle

Damn. We're getting pushed around. C'mon defense dig deep!

We need to hire that kicker.

been saying that for years!

Yeah, they need to bring him back.

(on Novak, after the miss)


"I noticed that too" section....

The announcers just touched on it but it's interesting how clearly you can hear the QB's at this stadium.

Head scratching play. Cutler on the keep?

For real, WTF was that?

Miami seems to be giving up the pass to RB in the flat

just the RBs?

At least they held them to a FG...

yes, again!


an actual analysis comment...

Agree. Defense playing lights out. Some decent runs by Ajayi but they have contained him even tackled in the backfield. Offense is getting rhythm. I think they try to go deep to keep Reshad Jones honest. The seams are open from the one play to Allen. Good half overall.

not watching the same game as us...

The OL needs to improve. No time to pass, no run blocking so far

No time to pass? Rivers could have played lawn darts back there most of the time

Hairston has a tough assignment with Wake...

you would think so ...


after the game...

This is who we are. This franchise is soul sucking.

i really cant take too much more

been there, sorry brothers

Following this team is excruciating. Someone is cursed, has to be the owner. Must have buried someone in cement under one of the construction sites.

Hey we have a similar theory....

*sips wine*. Alright. I'm used to this. No biggee.

a true vet

It's comical at this point...

(considered putting in "one in every gamethread")

I agree though Cutler was way too comfortable too often.

So you're saying we pass pro well?

Seriously. See ya later.

alright man i'm out too then!!

VB - I love these. "Lawn darts" - LOL. And you are right, after a loss, I don't think these would go over as well. Appreciate you taking the time to do this - your commentary makes me laugh. Well done.

Duly noted for next time, thanks

Thanks everyone for the comments, it was fun putting this together after squeaking out that win.

I recall one comment in our game thread, before we drove down the field to kick our last field goal...

I will vomit if this game comes down to a field goal

You doing alright over there @Serik ? :wink

 

[Marino1313]

[J. David Wannyheimer]

There are no LA Chargers fans.

Next week should be good, though
