Week 2 Game Thread

[Ale Xander]

That was a big run

 

[mauf]

Man. Take this guy out for the night and hope he's ready for next week? This is painful as a neutral observer.

Doesn’t seem like the kind of thing where he’s risking further injury by playing. If he has a cracked rib now, he’ll still have a cracked rib later; it will just hurt a lot more.

 

[Rook05]

Herbert is going to be dealing with those ribs for a long time.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Maybe get your franchise QB checked out for real, LA?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

It's so stupid the Chiefs won this game. Ticked off man.

 

[McBride11]

Looks like his left kidney has exploded.

Probably spleen. That tends to work out well tho

 

[Ale Xander]

So..he has a broken rib..right?

Now you made me hungry for Arthur Bryant’s

 

[Gash Prex]

Are you seriously advocating for him to play through a cracked rib? There is a reason you don’t play with them usually.

He clearly was in pain, got hit again and had no idea what he was doing on that last series

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Why throw it there?

 

[lars10]

Receiver trapped the defenders arm there.

 

[mauf]

Recently signed K plays a role there — gotta believe they run on 3rd down if Butker is healthy.

 

[Rook05]

Regardless of the outcome, this Charger defense is LEGIT

 

[lars10]

There's zero reason for him to come back in this game.

He didn’t look good. Perhaps they would’ve been better off with Daniel at QB. But it doesn’t seem intuitively like a case where he’d be risking further injury by playing.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

He needs to be in the locker room getting an X Ray

 

[riboflav]

IDK, man. He's the franchise. I get it checked first before I play him again.

 

[mauf]

Serious backdoor cover possibilities here.

 

[riboflav]

Speculating it's just a cracked rib seems reckless to me.

 

[Gash Prex]

What head coach would watch their MVP/franchise QB be that much pain just warming up, and send him on the field? I don’t care if Herbert wants to play - you are down by 10 in the 2nd game. This is not a must win game

 

[ifmanis5]

Why is he playing?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Dude shouldn’t be in

 

[Jungleland]

Fuck, this sucks to watch.

 

[ernieshore]

Stupid stupid.

 

[BigSoxFan]

LOL then he does that

 

[McBride11]

One - we dont know exactly what it is
Two - depending on the rib injury it could get further displaced and pierce or damage so important underlying thinga

 

[Al Zarilla]

Spags looks like he still worried about the outcome. Good coach

 

[slamminsammya]

and then he delivers a 30 yard dot

 

[ifmanis5]

What a throw OMG.

 

[Vandalman]

Herbert looks like Apollo Creed protecting his ribs in Rocky

 

[Cellar-Door]

I love watching Herbert play

 

[Nator]

That was a seed. What a throw.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

lol ref giving a running clock

 

[lars10]

What is any of your opinion based on? Especially the bolded..

 

[Al Zarilla]

and then he delivers a 30 yard dot

A dot or a dart? Al said dart.

 

[ifmanis5]

That was reckless and insane yet also impressive.

 

[slamminsammya]

herbert is awesome

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Send all the turnover karma KC's way on this onside kick, NFL gods.

 

[mauf]

Great moment in gambling history.

 

[dirtynine]

kinda thought it made sense to kick the FG on 4th down, but hey

 

[Vandalman]

These guys don’t give up easily

 

[Fred in Lynn]

That was quite a stretch of the forward progress rule, being he was falling sideways out of bounds.

 

[Gash Prex]

Am I missing something here? They still an onside kick - this game is not in doubt

 

[slamminsammya]

A dot or a dart? Al said dart.

I was going with "dot" as is customary in the parlance of our times

 

[patinorange]

That was quite a stretch of the forward progress rule, being he was falling sideways out of bounds.

Terrible call.

 

[lars10]

That was quite a stretch of the forward progress rule, being he was falling sideways out of bounds.

How many questionable calls is that tonite?

 

[ifmanis5]

KC ball luck again.

 

[mauf]

Chargers got the muff, but no one was close to the loose ball.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The amount of ball luck for KC has been wild

 

[ifmanis5]

Chargers lose a ton of weird games.

 

[mauf]

That was quite a stretch of the forward progress rule, being he was falling sideways out of bounds.

It didn’t matter, but it looked like he went out of bounds laterally. Not sure what the rule is in that case.
