I am so used to seeing Manual make SOME plays but miss plays...I was not prepared to see such a poor performance today from him. To make matters so much worse is the team played pretty well. I am not sure how good the Chargers are overall but Rivers is one of the best QBs in the league. He's the real deal and we had a chance to beat this team today with better QB play. I certainly have been clear that poor play from the QB position dooms the rest of the team. Today, that was realized.

With EJ under center playoffs are not happening this year (or maybe ever).
With Orton at least you have a chance.

Re: A Football Team With A Quarterback Problem VIII
I've never posted in one of these threads. I've seen the first VII and just kind of laughed.
I don't care if it's 1 game, I don't care if we're 2-1... that was a winnable game and there were numerous opportunities squandered solely by EJ. That wasn't Hackett, not Marrone, NO ONE. I look at the names Watkins, Williams, Woods, and their stat lines and it's just depressing. This team cannot win against playoff caliber teams with EJ at the helm. Sooooo many squandered opportunities today...Bye Bye Brady...

I would KILL for an Alex Smith performance.
Hell, I'd kill for an Alex Van Pelt performance.
This was a Billy Joe Hobert performance.

First two weeks told us they know not to use Manuel as a 300 yard a game gunslinger. This game is what happens when you fall behind without one.
I'll still measure them by what happens when they play New England.

On offense we had receivers open all day long and the throws were horrible. They played against our run game and wanted to force EJ to beat us...and he did not make any plays from the position. That was a winnable game against a good team ... and that tells me the team played pretty well.

Re: A Football Team With A Quarterback Problem VIII
EJ obviously played poorly today, and everything that he is criticized for by 'realists' and 'homers' alike manifested itself in full form. It wasn't all his fault, though...stupid penalties killed Buffalo drives, and extended San Diego's...the defense had no answer for the Charger's offense until it was 20-3, and made no big plays...I thought the offensive line, especially the interior, played horrendous.YardRat Wall of Fame

The Chargers are going to make their plays and do some damage ... you can't get zero from the QB position and beat them. We got Zero.

Originally posted by Typ0 View PostI don't buy it at all. Rivers got off to a big start but the defense toughened up in the second half after they went after him. They got stops. The Chargers have a lights out mistake free QB they are not sitting on any leads like you are saying. Maybe a four TD lead but not a 10 point lead. Get serious man they aren't going to sit around and give a team the chance to get back into it. They wanted the death punch and it was taken away from them giving us a chance.
