Tonight is a perfect example

To illustrate why you never stop scoring. Never take your foot off the gas.

Sorry for the loss. I knew you were rooting for Rivers and the Chargers. Maybe next time.

100%.

Never stop scoring. Both games got close, and unnecessarily so. The NFL is starting (for better or worse) to mimick the much more, never stop scoring, never say die college game.

NEVER stop scoring. I hope the Broncos paid attention tonight.

Denver will smoke the Chargers and the division. They are a passing team first and Manning will put up points.

[Peerless]

I agree.

Don't take your foot off the gas. Forget about 'running up the score.'

You play win the game, from the kickoff to the final whistle.

Great observation. CP to you. I had never thought of them as similar, but you are right. More and more they begin to mimic each other.

Never stop scoring...dead on

We better seriously keep our foot on the gas like we did week 1...

This isn't about being cocky. It's actually about not being cocky. It's about continuing to play hard even when you're winning to make sure you win.

Exactly. Too many games recently have looked like they are in the bag and then the other team shows up and steals the W.

Must not fall into this trap!

I was talking about all the "we gonna whoop the chargers, sweep the division, play the niners in the superbowl" talk
it was freaking week 1

Good point, every season some teams starts off 3 or 4-0, but fails to make the playoff or in some cases, even have a winning season and several Superbowl championship teams have began the season at 0-2.

With that said, I'm really getting tired of watching the Bolts blow big leads and play 2 completely different halves of football.

It’s not as if the Chargers quit trying to score, they came out to start the 3rd Quarter already leading by 2 touchdowns, and marched down and got another one on our 1st drive of the 2nd half. The problem was, Houston moved the ball against us at will for the entire game, and in the end that's what killed us.

Texans just really started winning the battle at the line of scrimmage, and then we looked alot like we did last season, unable to run the ball or to protect Rivers, giving him more than a second or 2 to get rid of the ball.

I think our revamped O-line will eventually be decent, but I figured these early games would be rough as they develop chemistry and learn each others’ strengths & weaknesses.

Well they did kinda quit tryna score at the end there...McCoy is too conservative man, (thank goodness we don't have to deal with that anymore)...he started his run, run, pass whenever I get the lead crap

I'm not trying to pour salt on the wound or nothin, I'm as cool a fan as you'll meet when it comes to being cool with other fans (as long as they're also cool) and their teams, but unfortunately for you, that is gna kill you guys

Unless McCoy let's Whiz run the show 110% get ready for some serious frustration because of the ultra-conservatism of McCoy...otherwise there were some real positives to take from that game (Rivers just needs more help from a better oline and WR's imo), but anyhow, just tryna warn you about McCoy man

[darth-hideous]

BAM! If you don't want the opposing team to run up the score, then stop them.

[ruksak]

Things have changed so much over the years. Back in the day, if you have a multiple score lead, you hand the ball to your bruiser RB and whittle the clock down. With the passing game becoming more and more prolific, the idea of running the clock out doesn't come into play until very late in the game.
