In any case, both teams looked like they have a lot of holes. I can definitely see the Raiders winning that division if they get their QB situation sorted out.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

More Tebow pile-on. Ouch:
“Can you believe No. 15 (Tebow)? Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’” - Anonymous Lions defender to Yahoo.com's Michael Silver

Had they executed the snaps properly, they could have run down the clock and kicked the winning FG without leaving any time for the Chiefs to get the ball back. That was why they snapped the ball, not making it easier for Novak.

In retrospect, I'm sure the Chargers would say that kneel-down/35-yarder was a better play than regular-set/32-yarder-fumble.
If they were 10 more yards further back, yes I'd have been reluctant to lose a couple of yards. But not in that spot.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

You don't do that when trying for a game-winning FG.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Originally posted by revo View PostI went to bed when it went to overtime, but your Chiefs got an early Xmas gift. The Bolts had a 1st down on the Chiefs 15 yd line with under a minute to go and the score tied 20-20, but they got incredibly cocky and decided to snap the ball to move it an inch or two so Novak could have a straight shot (as if a 32-yd FG isn't easy enough for a pro kicker). But Rivers fumbled the snap and the Chiefs recovered! BWahahahahahahahaha!!! Then they lost, deservingly so, in OT.
If I were a Charger fan, I'd be fuming today. Man, GITH won't be too happy with this!
I thought Battle looked good -- he's a pretty big dude! He fell just short of a 35-yd TD scamper. I'm still very unimpressed with Cassel.
