Anyone else watch Rivers at the end of the game yesterday?


I was thinking about this thread as he drove for the loss...throwing an INT into triple-coverage in the end zone, where all three Bengals were IN FRONT of his WR who had zero chance to get anywhere near the ball...on 4th down, after throwing three straight passes in the red zone nowhere near any of his own players on 1st, 2nd and 3rd downs. What a disaster.

Bad coach, sure, but we can't blame lack of talent for Rivers' decline and failures. He has had the best TE in the game for years, along with the best FB and good RBs with names like Sproles and Mathews when healthy. His WRs have usually been solid and above-average, even after V-Jax left. Malcolm Floyd and Robert Meachem are solid...if he could get the ball into their hands.

I think he's developed the same mental block as Cutler. When things get tough, their brain just shuts down and they make horrible decisions...then cry about it.
