not sure about liking the Chargers winning but it was worth it to see Harbaugh and Kaepernick's face at the end of the meltdown

What do you think would happen if Alex Smith tried to do that?

I think it was 25, but let's go with 26...

26*2=52 So, in a perfect world of 26 2-yard checkdown passes we'd earn 52 yard for the effort, and, along the the way we'd have punted 9 times given that 26/3=8.666 - which is close enough to 9 for this evaluation, and that one run (on the 27th play before the 9th punt) prolly goes for 2 yard because JC would have forgotten how to take a hand-off and perhaps even run.

Now, putting down my glass-all-full glasses, the reality is that of those 26 passes only 5-6 of them would be completed passes because most of them would have been dropped by stone-hands WRs, thrown into the ground, and the ever-so-frequent "sack". So 26 "pass plays" actually results in 6 completed checkdowns and that's 12 yards.

So, the answer to your question is 12 passing yards, 2 rushing yards (after the 27th play is a 2-yard run), and 9 punts.

yeah, was jokingly thinking the same thing. I didnt see all of the game, but as I understand it, two scoring plays for SF were called back due to penalty.

And strangely enough, a few weeks back, the chargers enjoyed the benefit of having two ram touchdowns called back due to penalty.

Hmmm.......

They are setting up the Chiefs-San Diego game for next week.

There was also a sequence late in the first half where the Whiners kept getting bailed out in the red zone with penalties. It was simply an over-officiated game.

No Keenan Allen, no Mathews, injuries on the O-line, and at least six more injuries for us last night. We're just about the last team to use the injury excuse against.

Gotta tip my hat tot the bolts, that was a stupid comeback.

[GoChargers]

LOL refs. Must be nice to get handed homefield on a historically bad spot... league not even hiding how badly they want the Cheatriots to win it all.

How many Thursday game did they have in the Goodell days?
