Week 6: Dirty Bird edition of the NFL Today

"Week X NFL running thread" is good enough for me.

 

I know people have ripped on the color rush uniforms, but I like both uniforms tonight.

 

Few turnovers and some drops, but does Denver go back to Lynch next week.

 

From your own 40, you can't get it to the end zone.

 

Agree! I made the same observation when I was in the other thread with other dummies who didn't realize it's Week 6.

Is that you, old_tony? The avatar threw me off. How long did you have the old one on there?

 

The old one was pretty much since I got here in about 2006. This one just feels good for now.

 

The turnovers both happened inside the 40, and the last one with plenty of time left and all timeouts when trying to make it a one-possession game. But that one came a play after a TD was called back for a hold. A hold also cost them the ball inside the 15 that later resulted in a missed 56-yard penalty. Another hold ended up with the Chargers getting a safety. The offensive line is repulsive. I'm not sure Lynch, who handled the pressure the line allowed in terrible fashion last week, helps much or if him playing right now helps him.

 

Yeah, I think I posted there too. At least the Chargers have links to their history.

 

I'd like to see that whole set up but with white pants. I think it would be pretty freaking sharp and I'd go for it in a second. The D logo on the navy blue looked really good, I thought.

The D has got to stop giving up the big, long drives. I mean 7 minutes and 10 minutes to open the game is ridiculous. But they virtually allowed nothing else the rest of the game despite some bad situations. They've been criticized the past two weeks, and some of it rightfully so, but still only gave up 23 and 19 points. Still, the way the offense has played in those games can't get that hole, especially if you're going most of the first half doing it.

 

I only saw clips online, so maybe this is a stupid question: Does Qualcomm have artificial turf now?
