Quick Cap: Chargers 18 - Seahawks 17

So check this out:

Charlie Frye was steady, even proficient at times.

Justin Forsett sucked.

And both teams looked damn eager to leave the field.

Often billed "the most important game of the preseason", Seattle and San Diego played the iconoclast. Seattle's third preseason game was a hasty, vanilla affair - almost gentlemanly. A disgusting, almost genteel, display of bad tackling, uninspired scheme and execution, from two teams shamelessly focused on staying healthy for the regular season.

And about the wisest thing I've seen in the vainglorious world of football, perhaps, ever.

Accelerated schedule this week, two quarters per day before some perfunctory previews of Friday's - hopefully - more spirited affair.

Game Ball: Forbearance. Sweet, merciful, dull as cardboard covered in mayonnaise, forbearance.

Forbearance is the watchword.

That triumvirate of Twinkies merely overwhelmed my resolve.

It's a sign of affection.

Just a heads up, soon as the season starts I’ll be sucking up to you instead of Jeff.

Oh, maybe I'm just too tired, but..

I thought it was a pretty biting dig.

I’ve been up since 2am.

2 tomorrow too.

My wife is cooking pizza, plus I figure I need to wrap this up. Plus, LOFA!

Initial word was that it was simply a bruise.

So hopefully he’ll just miss Friday’s game.

aannndd update.

Both Fyre and Tats will have MRIs tomorrow, but the staff doesn’t seem very worried.

Media speak.

Be worried.

That’s how I live my life.

I just wonder how he can know this without some sort of MRI.

They thought Chad Johnson just had a sprained shoulder…

I could never make fun of you.

Not after that great Football Explained series, anyways.

I'm out.

Goodnight everyone.

On the bright side

Duckett put up good numbers, which I can hope will quiet the howlers for a while. Us vs. San Diego could have littered the field with bodies — I like this outcome better.

Under the circumstances, though, couldn’t we have given Lofa the game off, too?

The players who should do their best LT impersonation next week, injured or not:

Walter, Matt, Julian, Patrick, Lofa, Red, Sean, Mo, Julius… the starters who do play should go one to two series and then get ready for Buffalo. The last thing I want to see is an injury to one of these guys. I just hope that the Tatupu deal is a false alarm… and a wake up call.

by PascoJoe on Aug 26, 2008 10:28 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

everyone of those will be injured in the buffalo game

as penitence for their laziness sin. That’s what happened to LT, he fell in the post season. Karma, bitch.

RB question not regarding Forsett or Duckett!

So, as I gear up for the season I keep hearing silly shit like “Jones starting and Duckett being the backup” (Jeremy Green, ESPN) and “the RB situation with Jones, Duckett, and Forsett” (Unknown, Monday Night Countdown). I’ve long accepted that the media has their collective heads up each other’s collective asses with regards to sports on the west coast and particularly the northwest but why does no one seem to know who Maurice Morris is? Are we really planning to start Julius Jones? What’s the over under on which week he starts whinning like a puss when he gets only 10 carries in a game?
