Official Game Thread - Week 5 - Commanders @ Chargers

Captain James said:
Said this in the chat- feels like we swapped our expected win against the falcons for a win today that was unexpected. I'll take it.

Surprised Ertz wasn't more involved with Jayden being back.

Ups and downs, “strikes and gutters“

Life in the NFL in 2025 😂
 
What an enjoyable game that was. I hope no one was dinged up. I don’t remember seeing anything about injuries for us. Chargers are going thru it now.


I loved seeing the young players win this game.
 
If in August we were told we’d lose Jayden for 2.5 games or whatever, and enter MNF week 6 against the Bears 3-2 with a divisional win, I think most of us would take it. Now, we’ve got 2 in-conference losses so we’ve gotta look out for tie breaker stuff if we don’t finish strong. But I think most of us would be accepting of the position we’re in.

I'm good with it...:cheers:
 
FYI - anyone going to a game at SoFi. Stadium is beautiful. Everything else and I mean everything else is seriously lacking. My son and I go to at least one away game every year and have been to about a dozen different locations. This was the worst pre and post game experience ever. This place has no restaurants, no bars, nothing really around the stadium to do. There is a small terrible casino about a mile away and that’s all we found. Even further out options are limited until you get to downtown LA. The forum (where the lakers used to play) and the arena for the clippers is next to SoFi. Why on earth is there nothing around for fans to do? Total missed opportunity. Look forward to seeing what Josh and his group does with the RFK site.

That was an extremely lucky break, probably the difference in the game, but it was the correct call, and we did take advantage of it.

It was 100% the correct call.

We really should not have given up a TD on that return regardless.

Sometimes a game or even a season turns on one play. I think that was it for this game. We’ll see if that gets them rolling for the season.

The Hail Mary against the Bears last year felt like such a pivot point

Yeah…. I think it was the throw to Terry against the Bengals. Earlier in the season.

However the Hail Noah completely broke the bears so it was a pivot point for them. I think they lost 8 in a row or something after that loss.
 
I think it's funny how people post on here how half of us watch the game is wrong and that we should watch the game like they do because they know better
 
Whitt and the Defense deserve a huge applause for stiffening up after the first quarter and adjusting to the game. The Dline came to play today and brought the heat v the pass and run.
Luvu has been a disappointment through 5 weeks imo, while Wagner looks a step slower. Noticed Magee out there more than I have in the past, which I think is great.
The D responded though, they deserve mega credit, made my day.

This team today looked more like the team from last year than they have up until now. Was a pleasant surprise.
Jayden looked confident and comfortable. Would like to see him get the ball out a tad faster. Hoping he continues to get better.
Bill clearly needs to be the prominent RB as the season progresses, he has earned it.
McCaffrey and Lane making contributions. The Oline also won their war. Kliff was cooking.
 
This has probably already been said but going for it at the end of the game on 4th and short instead of kicking the field goal was a brilliant call. If we don't convert, they start inside their own five yard line with under two minutes and down by ten. In all my years I've never seen that situation / call (instead of just kicking the field goal). Really heads up .
 
I can't recall a game that turned around so dramatically. After the 1st quarter, in which we were dominated, it felt like we'd lose by 3 touchdowns or more. The rest of the day was all Commanders. It was really something to see.

I too was convinced we were on for a GB style beatdown. Our D looked incapable of stopping the Chargers, and our O looked off. 😂 So this was the conversation with my brother during the 1st quarter…

We had a couple of those.
The fumble that quan martin induced, he was lucky not to get called for helmet to helmet.
