Highlights of the Washington - Chargers game

GeofromNJ : 9/16/2021 1:20 pm

If not for Washington's fumble deep in their own territory, I think Washington wins the game. Heineke shows he can play. Chargers do a nice job on their final drive making 3rd down completions to keep the Washington offense off the field. Should be a great test for the Giants. Do they have a shot? If Jones doesn't fumble or do anything stupid, I think they do.

They are struggling in coverage this year so when the rush doesn’t get

If jones doesn’t fumble or do anything stupid ?

How about if this makeshift line can block the best front in football.

That take on the Washington game is a bit

one side in the "woulda, coulda", scenario. Heinike threw what should have been an interception that turned out to be a long gain. The DB flat out missed the ball. The pass hung up a LONG time and was ripe for the pickings. That happens the game isn't close at the end.

Herbert is such

a stud. Oh and WFT run defense sucked in this game.

Washington was the beneficiary of one of the worst calls you'll ever see on that Chargers fumble-touchback. Huge swing - and BRUTAL officiating. And Bosa had a couple really dumb Roughing calls that hurt them.

The one roughing call on Bosa was a total joke

But yeah, the "fumble" that gave Washington a touchback was a joke. If his arm wasn't moving forward, how the hell did the ball fly 15 yards in the air?

Division game!

Not sure how similar Giants are to the Chargers. There may be nothing to compare here.

And the Chargers were steamrolling down the field

their final possession before taking a knee. That game wasn't nearly as close as the final score made it seem.

They looked soft all preseason and it carried right into the regular season. I think losing Kerrigan coming off bench fresh for 50% of snaps is going to really hurt them. Plus losing Darby.

Because he knocked the ball from behind.
