Watching the Chargers playing the dreaded Colts right now. We are 8-point underdogs against the defending Super Bowl Champs.
Two things: A bad call right before the half. We intercept a pass, run it back 89 yards for a touchdown. Would have given us the lead. Officials call holding and take back the TD. It is clearly NOT holding. Even the dudes on the halftime show declare “bad call.”
Just now — Colts on offense, close to the goal line, we lead by 4. Everyone lining up for the play, but we’re trying to quickly sub a player which is perfectly legal. Colts snap the ball, start the play, we’re not ready and get an offside penalty against us. Colts gain 5 more yards because of it. They score. They lead by 3 right now. Even the guys in the booth say, “That’s a pretty cheap way to get 5 yards.”
I hate to be that person, complaining about officials and dirty play, but damn.
Well, okay. Shut my mouth. Our little — really, 5 foot 6 — Darren Sproles just ran the ball 50+ yards for a TD. He’s just a wee little lightning bolt. Seriously, the other players can’t see him! And he’s fast, too. We lead by 4 now.
I don’t know how it’s all gonna turn out, but, people, this is a GAME. Even with LT slightly injured on the sidelines, we are fighting.
Our guys want it BAD, that’s clear.
Winner goes to AFC Championships.
I’m trying not to pee me pants.
GO, CHARGERS!!!!!
