BS Miscreant Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Checking the live scoring yesterday, I see that LT has only 17 for 90, no TDs and no catches. At first, I panic. Holy crap! Is he hurt? Then I see the score... ahh, blowout. Turner must be getting the second half touches. That sucks. But theeeennnnn, I look at the box score and all I say is, What the f@#$? I know the Chargers scored 2 defensive TDs but where the hell was the offense. 40 offensive plays!!! 40!!! I will probably lose this week, due in large part to LT's whopping 10 pts... and maybe a little bit of my last minute change from the Pats D to the Bucs D but whatever... I just want to know what happened. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Texans time of possession +13 minutes. Can't say they played keep-away well, but they sure did hold it awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DROCK_IN_CT Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 It was a situation where Gates had two long tds. Then they had two tds from the defense as well. LT did not have to do too much in the game. I was hoping gates would get to the 1 and then it would be the LT show but it did not happen like that....

Anyone? You didn't make a trade with me which would've given you a victory. It seems as though the Chargers were passing quite a bit as Gates had 2 TDs, Chambers had one and should've had another as he was wide open down the field, 10 yards behind the defense and Rivers overthrew him by about 5 yards. The 2 defensive tds didn't help either. Oh yeah Gates was part of the deal I offered you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rai Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I watched 3/4 of the game. They left LT in the game far more than needed for the win. I think they were trying to get him 100 but they just were not in the position to do so and finally enough was enough and they had to get him out. IMO in general Norv tries to get LT points (ie. throws a TD early in the year). I don't know why he's not getting any receptions yeaterday. But they were too far ahead too early that it was un-necessary for LT to be in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that sucks and all for an LT owner but what I'm trying to find out is how they only ran 40 offensive plays. LT had 17 of the Bolts 28 carries and Rivers had 4 of the 11 LT didn't. And once again, they only threw the ball 11 times. Edited October 30, 2007 by BS Miscreant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Time of possession was way in favor of the Texans, but they couldn't score due to turnovers. Bolts scored quickly and often (two by the defense). LT really didn't have to do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I pity the foo who had to watch the Chargers, Colts, and Pats games this weekend. Sadly I had to watch the Panthers and Skins in my area... Hey at least the MNF game made up for it. What a doozy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey at least the MNF game made up for it. What a doozy! That it was! Favre's having a good year, especially for a 38-year-old codger!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
