You have got to be kidding me

Nice Kick, Carpenter

It was Henne's fault...he threw the ball to long and didn't give Marshall enough space to work in. I don't really fault him on the throw however. That's just one of those things IMHO.

Go Carpenter. You just saved your ST coaches job for the moment.

holding on murtha...who the @#$%& is murtha they have some morons on special teams. Carpenter is a monster.

Poor clock management and Henne is throwing terrible balls.

Phew.

we got the points its okay lets relax and get this to the half at 10 a piece

I'll take 10-10 at the half. let's regroup.

Now it's time to regroup and hit them in the mouth after the half.

He is doing fine until now. That pass to marshall was a perfect pass marshall just could not come up with the ball in bounds.

So basically we just start over. We get the ball first. Come out and score at least 3. Get the passing game rolling again.

Halftime discussion fodder:

Matt Ryan's numbers today are 7/15 88yds 0td 1int

Philip Rivers today: 8/14 84 yds 1int

Disagree...I just rewatched again and that ball was thrown perfectly in the back of the endzone were no way it's intercepted but still catchable. Yeah, it could've been thrown a little shorter and still been safe but it should've been a TD either way.

first half obsorvations, minus an 86 yard TD from rodgers were up 10-3 with henne having a 135-83 pass yard advantage and 68-45 rush yard advantage. +2 on the sacks, but minus 1 on the int.

Overall i see us really playing better thus far. We regroup at the half and come out and pound them for 21 points this second half and walk away with a W

The long throw from Henne to Marshall was a good throw. Where the heck else is he supposed to throw that ball?

Marshall's a great WR, but he should have got his left foot down there.

Also other than missis hit on rodgers and wakes sack we have not had much of a pass rush.

Agreed. The trend this year has been for our pass rush to disappear in the second half, but there's really nothing to disappear today.

Sam Madison said on Sirius that Jason Allen blew coverage on the big pass by Arron Rogers. Again.

hey at least wwe dont have kevin kolb as a qb he almost got desean jackson killed holy crap.

Expect Rogers to really air it out in the second half. Scary.

Damn did you guys see Desean Jackson get KOed

Yep...pass rush is going to be key in the second half. if we can put some pressure on rodgers, we'll win this game. he's still not 100%

Nolan neeeds to come up with creative blitz packages.

It was bell and vontae responsability. What game is that moron watching?

The person covering that long TD pass was #21, Vontae Davis. Bell was the deep safety and he bit on an underneath route.

Sam sounds a little toasted.

What the heck was that?

You've got one of the worst special teams units in the league. When you're fielding a kickoff return, you don't try to do some stupid fake reverse, you just field the damn kick.
