So if you get touched by an opponent and you fall down the ground can't cause a fumble. You don't get touched the ground can cause a fumble? God NFL and their stupid contradicting confusing rules.
 
Triplett sounding good right there.

Can't believe he made it to the post season but so glad he won't be calling our game otherwise id already accept a Packers loss

can the Lions interview Whisenhunt if the Chargers win?

No, they can't interview him until SD is out of the playoffs.

Yes, since you're not down by contact until a defensive player touches you. If nobody touched Dalton, he can get up and run with the ball. The ball carrier is down if a defensive player causes him to fall to the ground. If the ball carrier does it of his own accord, the play is still live.

Hmm? It makes perfect sense, because the play is dead when you hit the ground in the first case. In the second case, the play is live and you could get up if you're not touched.

The Chiefs gifted them a playoff spot by missing a FG...playing all our backups...in San Diego.

So, no.
But they also beat the Chiefs, the Broncos and the Colts, 2 of them on the road. Chargers can hang with any team because of their offense. Doesn't mean they always show up though (see week 17 or the loss to the Raiders).

The Chargers play down to the level of competition every year. It's why they can convincingly beat Peyton Manning one week and then lose to the Raiders the next.

Terrible call. Dalton's foot clearly made contact with one of the Charger's feet as he was going to the ground. He was down by contact. How did nobody see that?

If you go to the ground and aren't touched you aren't down so how does it not make sense?

Carlos Rogers inactive. Good for Cobb

Honestly, I wouldn't be so sure of that, SF's secondary is better without him (he's been the biggest liability for SF in the secondary).

Expect to see Wright (who is a better DB that Rogers), slide into Carlos's spot.

Wright is also hurt, but I believe he is active.
 
All the excuses...

What excuse? We lost. I'm stating a fact. Do you even have a team or dedicate your time here to failing troll attempts? I'm not biting.

Rivers has all the tools. It's a shame he acts like a giant douche in the field. Do Chargers fans even like this guy?
