Not only do I believe it, but I can honestly say I saw it coming. The Chargers are the most schizophrenic team in the league. They can go from looking like the most pedestrian, backwards-moving team one week to looking like world-beaters the next. Kinda like what we literally just saw these last two weeks. The Chargers are one of the most fun teams to watch in the league, IMO.
That 1-1 Seahawks take the luster off of the game next week against the broncos. Would have enjoyed both teams at 2-0 playing each other.
Strange ending, but I'm not sure what else the refs could have done. Evans got rocked on that play, it was clear he was dazed and confused as he raised his hand to call for the trainer, and the trainer ran onto the field right away. By rule, that calls for a 10-second runoff.

That happened at 14 seconds. They could have stopped it immediately when he was down so that the 10 second runoff wouldn't end the game or waited for his teammates to help him lineup. I saw the exact same situation with Tenn I think a couple of years ago where Nate Washington was very hurt and they helped him lineup for the snap. After the spike, he immediately collapsed and the helped him off the field, but they allowed the spike to stop the clock first.
Fair enough...guess I didn't realize so much time had elapsed by that point. Fittingly strange ending to an ugly, ugly game.
What are you talking about? He was held to 1 catch for 5 yards by the chargers rookie CB... and the only big play was a fluke because he stepped out of bounds.
Glad to see Seahawks' D getting punked and pushed around. It's sad to see Manning and Rodgers playing scared v. that D. Let's see if Manning can step it up next week v. the Seahawks.
When they have to follow the rules they don't look so great. I have no idea how they got away with the crap they were pulling on receivers. Also Richard Sherman is a complete tool. He was saying he was bored with no one throwing at him. He won't shut up when he is riding high but now refuses to talk to media? Richard Sherman refuses to speak to media after being “exposed”
