Chargers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 3

[TSonn]

SKOL for Walsh and then SKOL for auto 1st down!

My point is that offseason training regimens don't mean much when on the field the guy (a) is shying way from contact or (b) can't catch the football.

Ah. Now we're questioning his hands. Got it.

[IrishViking]

WOOT the Chargers have murdered themselves this game

[fiestavike]

Patterson's fundamental problem is that he's a lousy route runner. That's why he's relegated to gadget plays and kick returns. It's all he can handle.

As I said in the preseason, Patterson is the last WR on the team. I'm not even worried about him as a WR where Thielen is clearly superior, but simply as a returner, where he is also no longer the best player on the team. Don't be shocked if Diggs is active next week.

[PsyDanny]

This armchair psychoanalysis of Patterson is just silly. None of us are in position to know his state of mind, know how much he wants or doesn't want to contribute, etc. It's just fan griping and we see the same thing every %#@! time a first round pick disappoints fans and. It's beyond tiresome.

Heck yes, Jim. I am a Psychologist, and I don't know what I'm talking about half of the time.

[FullWood]

Because that's the same as several grueling hours working out on sand with very little rest daily. Clearly evidence Patterson doesn't give af.

Not sure whats going on but the Vikings should cut him he don't care

[yezzir]

Would a guy like that subject himself to "hell's trainer" all offseason?

I wouldn't call him a coward, but he doesn't have the brains. That's all.

[fiestavike]

you don't have it. Not questioning his hands.

[PurpleMustReign]

LMFAO, no one knew Line had the ball. the officials were looking at AD!

[soflavike]

I'm thinking of adding Zach Line to my fantasy team! 2 carries, 2 yds, 2 TD's

[TSonn]

We are still criticizing Patterson after he showed he heart on his run this drive?

[IrishViking]

FYI Peterson is 10 yards short of starting to Gain ground on the single season record.

[fiestavike]

I wouldn't call him a coward, but he doesn't have the brains. That's all.

That's as a WR where we have already established that he is worthless. As a returned, he is now a coward. Sherels is far superior.

[dead_poet]

you don't have it. Not questioning his hands.

Didn't you just write "can't catch the football"?

[soflavike]

We are still criticizing Patterson after he showed he heart on his run this drive?

Not criticizing his heart, just stating the obvious fact that he doesn't run routes well and the coaches don't have the confidence in him to use him more at WR.
