…I know it’s crazy, but it’s true.
Beating the Jets on Monday Night Football was a must. I’m normally the first one to call BS on people pulling the ‘must-win’ card in the first few games of the season. All things considered, this was a must-win game.
Yet, despite the victory, I’m not sold on this team.
I [...]

No last second collapse. No scandalous calls. No problem handling the New York Jets.
The Chargers avoided a disastrous 0-3 start, sending Brett Favre out of town with a 48-29 ass-handing that lands the Bolts at second place in the division.
Philip Rivers continued to roll with a career-high tying three touchdowns. The guy looks mellow in the [...]

Looking at the San Diego Charger team and their performance these last few seasons, it seems like the team has one of the best offensive lineups ever in football. Just watch the team at Qualcomm Stadium and see what I am talking about.
Last season’s Patriots may have scored the most points ever in a season, [...]

Has anyone seen the Chargers defense?
Going into week two, the Bolts were 31st in the league in defense, allowing 437 yards per game. That’s landed them at 0-2, looking up at a Broncos team who could gallop away with the division if the Chargers don’t turn it around.
Why is the defense sputtering? To paraphrase Occam’s razor, [...]

“Officials are held accountable for their calls. They are graded on every play of every game. Ed has been an outstanding official for [...]

Shaun Phillips can only say “damn”. From where I sit, that’s putting it mildly. The Chargers linebacker posted his thoughts at YardBarker.com regarding the week two loss:
That’s all I can say is damn. I can’t say that the ref cheated us because that’s a fine. I can’t say that the Broncos didn’t win that game because [...]

No, it couldn’t happen again. Not twice in two weeks.
“That’s… incredible,” a sullen Chargers fan mumbled to me as the final seconds of the game ticked away.
The Chargers were beat in the vestigial final moments, again. Broncos ‘win’, 39-38.
This time the spoiler had a little help from the refs. As far as inept, astoundingly piss-poor [...]

Disaster confirmed.
According to a press release on Chargers.com, Shawne Merriman will have season ending surgery on his injured knee.
“Shawne informed me he did not feel right (on the field) and thought it best to shut it down.”
“The road to winning the AFC West just got more difficult, but not impossible. Nothing is impossible. Shawne is a great [...]

Waiting through the offseason for a game like yesterdays is tantamount to going to Disneyland, standing hours in line for Pirates of the Caribbean, then at the end of the ride one of the animatronic pirates kicks you in the nuggets.
An opening day shocker that will sting for a while, the Carolina Panthers left San [...]
