Eat a bag of [BLEEP], hater!!!  LOL!!!!  I said it in the game day thread once we scored right before halftime, "If we can get to within 10 points by the 4th Quarter, we'll have a shot at this".  And that's what happened.  Don't doubt the Franchise QB and Franchise HC, man.

It's not like Trevor was inaccurate or overthrowing at the beginning, but the Chargers secondary was jumping routes.  Then that stopped working for them.
In the second half, the Jags were calling the same plays! They were still throwing to Samuel's side! Obviously the "execution" was better but I have to think something more specific changed...

Don't get me wrong, I was pretty blitzed last night...  But from my eye, it seemed that in the first half, Trevor mainly went with his first read, which was normally the shorted route.  In the 2nd half, he looked towards his 2nd and 3rd reads more and was hitting the deep and intermediate routes that were open.  SD was jumping the quick routes, but the 2nd and 3rd routes were open almost every time.  Once that adjustment was made, the offense started clicking better.

Also, just want to point out the Refs were doing our offense no favors in the first half.  There were at least 4 PI calls that should have been called for either a crucial first down or a TD.  It really did look like the fix was in by the refs last night.  And there is nobody that can convince me otherwise.  Trevor and the Jaguars offense overcame a really good SD defense along with a very terrible officiating crew.  That should be worth 2 wins, in my opinion.

That's what I remember seeing too.  Trevor started moving his head and eyes more, and the Chargers weren't able to jump the routes anymore. In fact the play design might not have changed at all, but Trevor just bluffed his first and second read, intending to hit the last read all along.  Hard to do. But he did it!
