I think that gives us a little less credit than we deserved for that performance. Plenty of pressure from the defensive front, good coverage behind that really shut Rivers down.
Offensively, we're hot right now. Frankly I'm surprised we didn't score more points than we actually did.
It is mate, but I was in a stinking mood! I thought you were great. I hope you do well this year now you've give us a whooping. I like the Falcons due to Ryan (he just seems like a sound bloke) and the Burner (with his SD connections).
The two plays that killed it for me were the Matthews fumble on the 5 yard line, then on the following ATL possesion the holding call on Bigby that negated a sack that would've had you punting from your endzone. Follow that up with your defensive pressure (our O Line is terrible, but you exposed it more than the Titans or the Raiders.....we have a UDFA starting at LT and the worst starting RT in the NFL) and Rivers trying to force it and you did a number on us.
In hindsight, you have the perfect offense for our defence. Gonzalez has been ripping up the Chargers for as long as I can remember, you have as good a WR starting pair as there is in the league and a good QB. Match White and Jones against Jammer and Cason with Ryan throwing to them and ugly things happen.
