hard to argue with any of that

Rivers has taken two steps back this year

And for that writers' sake, I hope his middle name isn't Roy

11/21/2007 9:14:22 AM

he lost me at this point

Quote :

"His offensive line is decent."

Other than that, it was a good article.

He ranks 21st in passer rating, behind Joey Harrington. He ranks 21st in completion percentage, behind Brian Griese. He ranks 20th in yards per game, behind Damon Huard.


That's terrible. He has a lot more weapons than any of those QBs, too.

11/21/2007 9:44:48 AM

3 weeks ago his QB rating was in the 90's and his completion percentage was 65%. He's had a rough November, but lets not go overboard. He'll bounce back once he regains his comfort level and that line gives him a little time to throw the ball. The biggest problem is the uninventive play-calling. They run up the middle for a yard or 2 on first and second down, then are forced to pass on 3rd and long. It's predictable, and it puts Rivers in a tough situation.

Too bad he's going up against some tough defenses over the next few weeks.

any particular reason LT is not hearing anything. he's been less than spectacular the times i've seen him. don't give me crap about the passing game allowing teams to stack the box, because they've ALWAYS done that against him. he's not last year's LT, and I can't see anywhere else to find fault there except with coaching and the O-line.

11/21/2007 2:55:08 PM

^i saw LT in an interview last night and he said "I'm not getting the ball/the touches that i got last year"

thats on the coaches. But i agree, LT looks like shit this year. But i guess when you're the MVP and set records, you get a bye from the media/fans

11/21/2007 3:21:32 PM

Phil just got flagged for one of those Delay penalties for throwing the ball...out of frustration for having it batted down on 3rd down. he had no time to throw with a rush right up the middle. i'll continue to blame it all on Turner for throwing yet another team into the shitter

12/9/2007 3:02:18 PM

i'm just gonna chalk it up to a sophomore slump

12/9/2007 3:05:05 PM

I'm just gonna chalk this year up to just being some NC State shit.

12/9/2007 3:08:12 PM

sacked yet again

12/9/2007 3:11:43 PM

I just heard that PRiv was rocking a 10.7 rating.

Maybe he'll be traded to Seattle tomorrow.

12/9/2007 3:15:38 PM

nah, panthers will get him to back up jake. jake gets injured. rivers rises from the ashes

12/9/2007 3:18:32 PM

ha. I get the impression that LT doesn't like philip very much right now.

12/9/2007 3:19:04 PM

LT's the one running for -1 yards every play....

[Edited on December 9, 2007 at 3:19 PM. Reason : asdfghj]

12/9/2007 3:30:45 PM

This is a joke.

12/9/2007 3:30:51 PM

this is like watching your first born child get horribly beaten

12/9/2007 3:32:03 PM

im happy for philip, but i wish that were to anyone other than LT. not good for my fantasy team

12/9/2007 3:40:38 PM

Garbage for 3.5 quarters then score in 3 plays. How does that work?

12/9/2007 3:41:52 PM

he's looking good out there now with some protection

and he's playing on one leg

my god i love you philip

12/9/2007 3:42:24 PM

12/9/2007 4:00:46 PM

12/9/2007 4:01:58 PM

12/9/2007 4:02:18 PM

12/9/2007 4:03:30 PM

SD's line is fucking terrible

12/9/2007 4:04:08 PM

chance at redemption

12/9/2007 4:07:54 PM

Looking like a too little too late Rivers calling card performance.

[Edited on December 9, 2007 at 4:09 PM. Reason : a]

12/9/2007 4:09:07 PM
