Wild Wild Wildcard Weekend....

There is that Seahawks run defense I have come to love

Thoughts on 2nd Half?

@jhoss00

 Hit sea live 

In keeping with the theme....  That was a wild 2nd qtr.

I posted about Purdy in another thread - dude had a terrible first half - missed so many throws and could have had a stringer of INTs.  Wait until the Cowboys or Eagles sell out on the run and pass rush.  I dont want to be on Purdy when SFs run isnt working.

Good call brother

Great call Van....you lean over/under Jags-chargers?

Post #23 in this thread.....

I put a lot of emphasis on recency once we reach the playoffs.  So for me - the last 5 weeks mean more than the last 10 weeks, and the last 10 weeks mean more than the whole season.

If I look at the last 8 weeks, the Chargers and Jags overall look very similar at the top line.  Similar wins, similar stats for offense and defense.  But when you get in to splits - the matchups really favor LAC. 

Specifically - Jax passing has been carrying them - and they have struggled to run.  The Chargers weakness is their run defense - while their pass defense has been top 5 in the league.  Lawrence mistakes come when he is is forced in to quick decisions - and the Chargers win rate on the DLine gives me the narrative that they will be able to pressure him when the run game isnt working, and mistakes should follow.  The key will be to shut down the Jags run game - which I think the Chargers will - and make Jax one dimensional.  It would compound if the scoreboard has the Jags behind.

On the other side - I think the Chargers will dink and dunk the Jags to death.  The 5 yard passes - Herberts specialty - will be there - and if the Jags play up tight - they will get burned medium.  The Jags passing defense is 24th adjusted in the league, and Herbert is really one of the top in the NFL when he has time to throw.  Which might be a problem - and not guaranteed-  but heres the thing....  The Chargers love the short passing game with YAC, and that is something the Jags have struggled with.

I see the Chargers able to control some long possessions, and I think the Jags will score in the teens.  Something like a 26-17 type of game.

Thanks Van...

Hey Van,

lowvig - are sisters to sportsbetting sportsbook or bol

sites look similar

5 mins in, 2 ints for Lawrence

3 INTs in 1st qtr, all on rushed decisions by Lawrence.

@vanzack

 no fair

u clearly had tomorrow's newspaper

great calls

i should have listened!

Brandon Staley got a lot of crap for playing his starters last week.

A lot of people know soooo much, until they don't. 

Great start on a Saturday for you 

Thanks Doc

Ironically, his starters will probably rest more today than in week 18.

that's all well and good but you can't minimize the incredibly stupid decision to play his best players and the need for Williams might just be a little bigger in this place called Kansas City..even worse his total bs explanation last Sunday was he needed to play players, then this week he said he needed to rest Williams..and he didn't have 4 other WR's he could have played?

Hope he doesn't go for it on 4th and 3 on his own 25 like he did vs Mahomes last year

Doing good @vanzack

You called that weeks ago…great stuff on Lawrence as well.   

Let’s hold the line Bolts! Hoping that missed 2 pt comes into play…. Enjoy your Sunday, thank you. 

Who do you like to win each Conference and Superbowl?  Are you not a futures guy?

That was not fun

I just came back from playing call of duty and omg wtf possibly happened where the Jags who were down 27-0 WON

@vanzack

 I mean what did we witness? The end of Staley perhaps. That bet was winning for 59 minutes. 

What a bogus, i trip!

Chargers won turnover margin 5-0 and lose the game. Willing to bet that's never happened before.
