Broncos @ Chargers Live Blog 2Nd Half

Game summary so far:

- Broncos defense can't stop anyone
- Jay Cutler throws to many interceptions
- Phillip Rivers is still a douche

Chad Jackson returns the kickoff to the 27 yard line. Bell takes the dump off pass and gets the first down. Eddie Royal gets the pass and only gains a couple of yards. Scheftler catches the ball and moves the chains. Royal catches the ball for an five yard gain. Bell gets the toss and runs for a touchdown, 24-13 Chargers.

Well done Denver, now play defense. (SSR)

They have never heard of defense in Denver. Sproles returns the kickoff to the 31 yard line of San Diego.

Rivers runs the ball for a four yard gain. Tomlinson takes the handoff and runs for a 45 yard gain. Then Rivers throws to a tight end, whose name I can't spell, for a five yard gain. Sproles takes the handoff and gains two yards. Sproles catches a screen pass and runs in for the touchdown, 31-13 Chargers.

Denver sucks on defense.

Interception!

Tomlinson takes the handoff and scores the touchdown, 38-13 Chargers.

Cutler face! (JFein)

And next week, Manning Face.

On 3Rd and 2, Cutler throws to Marshall for the first down. Marshall catches the ball again and picks up another first down. Tony Scheftler catches the ball for another first down. Tatum(Luggage stealer) Bell takes the handoff and picks up nothing. Cutler runs the ball and picks up six yards. Cutler then just throws one up and almost gets picked off again. On fourth down, Cutler throws to Stokley and picks up the first down. Cutler throws a screen pass to Marshall who picks up nothing. Cutler throws to Stokley who gets eight yards. Cutler throws another screen pass but the ball is incomplete. On another fourth down play, Cutler throws to Stokley who drops the pass and forces Denver to turn the ball over on possession.

"Stokley is a Welker-type of guy." - John Madden (JFein)

Tomlinson takes the handoff and picks up a couple of yards. Sproles gets the ball and also picks up a couple of yards. Rivers throws to Nene, I thought he played for the Nuggets? Rivers throws to Hester who drops the ball. Sproles gets the ball and picks up three yards. Sproles gets the screen pass but he cannot get the first down and the Chargers are forced to punt.

"Right here on the National Broadcasting Company." - Al Michaels on a Golden Globes promo (JFein)

Does anyone watch that award show?

Marshall gets the screen pass and picks up the first down. Then Cutler throws to Eddie Royal for another first down. End of the third quarter, 38-13 Chargers.

Cutler just throws one away on first down. Cutler gets away from the pressure and throws to Darrell Jackson for the first down. Marshall then catches the ball for a nine yard game. Bell runs the ball and picks up the first down. Cutler throws to Scheftler for the touchdown. Cutler then runs in the two point conversion, 38-21 Chargers.

"He was reaching for his groin, trying to adjust his stiffness." - Michaels (SSR)

I don't even want to think about that.

Sproles returns the ball to the 34 yard line. We will see if the Denver defense can finally stop the Chargers. Sproles runs the ball for three yards.

"He can't run a lick."- Madden

Rivers throws the ball to Chris Chambers for the first down. Sproles takes the handoff and picks up three yards. Sproles takes the handoff and picks up 37 yards, once again the Denver defense can't stop anyone. Sproles takes the handoff and runs in for the score, 45-21 Chargers.

Did someone put Vaseline on the hands of the Denver defense?

"Maybe they should have onside kicked it." - John Madden (JFein)

JFein called it.

@ Al Michaels, Norv Turner didn't get smarter, the Denver defense just can't stop anyone.

Cutler throws deep and a pass interference is called on the Chargers. Cutler throws to Royal for a five yard gain. Scheftler gets hammered by Hart and forces Denver to go for it on fourth down. They cannot convert on fourth down, and Marshall gets flagged as Denver is falling apart.

Sproles takes the handoff and picks up nine yards. Tomlinson and a lot of San Diego starters are taking some time off for a rest. Hester picks up another first down and Denver can't even stop the San Diego subs. The Chargers are just running the ball to run out the clock and prepare for Indy.

Side Note: As a 49ers fan nothing made me more happier than the Eagles hammering the Cowboys and sending them home early. I am just wondering if Jerry Jones face melted off after the game.

"The San Diego Chargers, the most star-crossed team in the league in the beginning of the year." - Al Michaels

"Many euphanisms when it comes to injury reports. Perfect description." - Al Michaels

"Pretty good salary drive for Sproles tonight." - Al Michaels (All by the great JFein)

NBC is already previewing the Chargers vs. Colts. I wonder if Mike Shannahan can survive after this epic collapse.

The Denver defense doesn't even try and Jacob Hester runs in for the score, 52-21 Chargers.

"They have just beaten down the Bronco defense." - Al Michaels (JFein)

The Bronco defense never even tyred Al.

End of the Game, 52-21 Chargers, and Phillip Rivers is still a douche.

Thanks to everyone who commented and for the quotes, Goodnight.

  4. @ SSR: That would require something that they have not done all year.

  5. Alright the Niners aren't picking in the top ten.

  6. I think Seattle should draft Oher because Kyle Williams and Floyd Womack are turnstiles and I can't stand it.

  8. Well, it looks like somethings never change. Denver sucking on defense is one of them.

  9. Howie Do It looks terrible, but we are talking about NBC.

  10. I can hear S2N screaming all the way from here. Denver just cannot play defense.

    And let me tell you what, this is one wide-open AFC playoffs.

    Cutler's story is inspiring, I'm not dissing that, but this is how you know when John Madden knows that this game is a blowout.

    Looks like NBC is regretting flexing this one.

    The Patriots are not in the playoffs and yet Madden is in the tank for them!

    While I'm thinking about it, unlike my feelings about the BCS, there should not be any overhaul of the NFL Playoffs system.

  15. Shanahan face!

    Flight 160 from Indianapolis to San Diego is now departing.

  16. I think that the team with the better record regardless of seed should host a playoff game.

    Arizona is likely to get wiped out and they are facing a team that was a field goal away from winning the #2 seed.

  17. "Right here on the National Broadcasting Company." - Al Michaels on a Golden Globes promo

    Um, Al, if you're doing a promo, you might want to call your station by the name that most people know, in other words, NBC! I'd seriously be willing to bet that there are people that would not think of NBC when told of the "National Broadcasting Company" like that.

  18. I thought it was bad enough when Dallas no showed and choked their way out of the playoffs. I feel like I'm reliving it all over again watching this game.

    Never put it like that again, Al. That makes it sounds like he's, oh, never mind.

  22. Nice TD pass, but barring another football miracle today, it's all too little, too late for Denver.

  23. Why are they kicking it away? The Broncos should be onside kicking it. Their defense has been awful today. This game is do-or-die for them and if I were a coach, I would go all-out, especially if my defense was playing as poorly as Denver's is.

  26. Damn, 3 epic choke jobs in one day.

    1. Tampa
    2. Dallas
    3. Denver

    Good lord.

  27. @ Jfein, don't forget about Dallas.

  28. Woowww....what a fitting end to the Broncos' season.

    Off-topic, but an important note to me: Never scream during a Michael Bush touchdown run again. I can't stop coughing now.

  29. More Cutler face!

    Isn't star-crossed just the opposite? Like it starts well and ends bad, not the other way around?

    Groin injuries always result in announcing gems.

  31. The most embarrassing losses for this type of game for the Bucs, Cowboys, and Broncos all came today.

  32. "They have just beaten down the Bronco defense." - Al Michaels

    Um, the Bronco defense was beaten down before December started.

    "You know who else this delicious for; the offensive line." - John Madden

    Interesting word choice, Mr. Madden, I must say.

  33. Indeed, The Romo Fumble, that's a wonderful memory for me as well.

    And I'm glad the Eagles brought a smile to your face, 49er16. That was one of the best games I've ever seen.

    "What were the odds on November 30th after the Atlanta loss that Norv Turner would be getting a Gatorade shower?" - Al Michaels
    "50 to 1." - John Madden
    "More like 600 to 1. You would have had to fill out a ten-ninety-nine." - Al Michaels

    What's the matter Al? You bet the Broncos to win the AFC West on November 30th?
