AND I dont caree too much about you Levitre anymore Mandatory Credit: Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports

The San Diego Chargers missed out on the Andy Levitre sweepstakes to the Tennessee Titans, per Adam Schefter. The Titans threw way too much money in that direction and there was no way the Chargers were willing to spend that type of dough.

Now the Chargers will have to focus their eyes in another direction. Louis Vasquez is available and New York Jets OG Brandon Moore could be picked up for that massive sized hole on the offensive line.

We could always look toward the draft to get a top notch guard with our 11th pick. Jonathan Cooper and Chance Warmack should be available when we select. The Titans don’t have a pressing need for Warmack anymore and will likely look at a different position with the 10th pick. Or they can just trade out of that spot to a team that really wants Lane Johnson. That is always an options for them also and could screw us once again.

Right now, the Chargers have Johnnie Troutman and David Molk as their starting guards. There definitely will be some work to do. Unless we want to just get Philip Rivers killed! I don’t think that is the plan.

Can’t believe how AMAZING that actually came out!

On a day where we paid homage to a Titan of our own, Tennessee was at the Q for the home opener Sunday. With the, “White Out,” in the stands as well as on the field, it was a day where no prisoners would be taken. Rightfully so, on a day the San Diego honored the greatest Charger to ever play in powder blue. We will always remember this game, a moment where our defense was present and strong and a moment where our offense ran wild! Most importantly our moment with Junior in our mind in New Jersey or at the game in San Diego. Not much more could have been done to make this game more special then it actually was. From Antonio Garay’s hair style to the 55 blackout strips players wore, everything was almost perfect. Except the fact that our beloved linebacker with a motor that never stopped and never appeared weak was unable to witness it with us.

You really couldn’t ask for more with the opening drive of the game. The Bolts took the ball 71 yards on a 12 play 6:08 drive for a touchdown to Rosario. Something our offense had a lot of trouble doing in week one and that was putting the ball in the end zone. That one drive appeared to set the tone for the whole game as the Bolts wouldn’t slow up. Rosario and Rivers would hook up again after a Weddle interception for a 4 yard strike. Needless to say we all know where it went from here. What impressed me the most? It was the strides the Chargers made to make the running game existent and make long drives. The Chargers have jumped to 148 yards rushing from last weeks pathetic 32, and time of possession was GREATLY dominated from last weeks comparison. In week 1 the Chargers had the ball for 30:34 out of 60 minutes, yesterday it leaped to 43:39. The offense took advantage of that time and put up 5 touchdowns and a field goal.

With Mathews on the brink of getting involved I would be extremely excited for a BIG season if it weren’t for some of the issues the Chargers offensive side of the ball has. Rivers looked a little more comfortable but fumbled 2 times. One foolish play occurred when Rivers tripped and tried to make a play by getting up when he should’ve stayed down. Instead, the decision he made almost cost the Chargers the possession of the ball. If he can just try to stay a little more calm the Chargers can look forward to making a lot less mistakes. Less mistakes will equal up to more wins. One other thing that the Chargers need to improve is the consistency of the offensive line. Don’t get me wrong they did impress and improve in the running game, but if they can only protect Philip Rivers as well as they plowed holes for the running backs San Diego will be in a great position to make a lot of noise. If you watch carefully, 2 plays the offensive line would form a beautiful pocket for for Philip Rivers to step up and deliver a throw. The next two plays would lead to Rivers having to extend a play with his feet. Rivers is a smart talented quarterback who if he can feel comfortable, can gun with the best of them. No offensive line is perfect, but you don’t need perfect. You need to be get in your opponents way anyway possible. The job you do speaks on his uniform and Sunday Rivers had some grass stains this week. Still though, you can see improvement from last week till now.

Praising the defense last week was a well deserved achievement for the Bolts. Never could I believe how well San Diego’s defense played last week. This week they slacked a little bit. The front seven did a great job of getting to Locker and making him move, and throw on the run. When you can make a quarterback throw on the run you dramatically increase your chances of mistakes being made. The Chargers secondary however did not impress, outside of Weddle’s interception. Even with the Chargers putting pressure on Jake Locker, one play in particular, in the 3rd quarter on 2nd and 5 a Taylor Thompson who streak on a deep post was let go and was wide open. With the Falcons ready to come to town, the secondary can’t let that happen against Julio and Roddy or else Jammer and company will be toast. Better communication is needed as well as better knowledge of assignments. Bigby can’t let the big play up. It will make everyone else look bad.

The defense however is doing extremely well in other aspects of the game. The rushing defense has really proven to be the real deal. In two weeks the Bolts defense has made two of the leagues elite running backs look foolish allowing them to rush for a combined 49 yards. If that wasn’t impressive enough the Titans were 1 for 9 on third down (11%) which got our defense off the field. Week 1 the Raiders were 5 of 11 (33%) on third down., which was something Chargers coach Norv Turner vowed to fix in the off season. This season, so far, the Chargers are 6 for 20 (30%) on third down which is an amazing stat.

With all the flaws that Sunday showed, the great outweighed the bad and the good out weighed the great. In order to be a Championship team though the great needs to outweigh all. The Chargers have shown in two weeks that they are working hard to improving throughout the season. It is up to Norv to keep them focused and not ahead of themselves. While they are 2-0 they still have a lot of climbing to do. Rivers said it best in the post game conference, “It’s one game at a time, I know it’s boring but that’s what it is.” If they prepare week by week, these Bolts can shock the NFL.

Welcome to the MELTDOWN, the post where we troll onto the opposing teams message boards to see their reaction from the game. Here is what the Tennessee Titans fans are saying after getting beat down by our San Diego Chargers. AND HERE WE GO:

I see us probably not beating alot of teams at all palmer needs to go away after this year and maybe the rest of the coaches 2 we are horrible all over the field bad and our Defense scheme is bad or the the players are bad take your choice the offense well that speaks for itself i dislike palmer him and the UT OC are like twin brothers – MPFord

Of course fans are already calling for the head coaches head! We started calling for Coach Turner’s head when he lost a preseason game.

Its hard to be a Titans fan. Are we really that bad? I think its time for some answers. Why not start another RB, lets see what happens. I think that would answer alot of questions. Is it the line or is it the RB.

I usually go to a few Titans games a year. I dont think I’ll waste my money. – Titansfan211

Are you really that bad? YES! Your team is terrible. Maybe just lose all your games so that you can bring in Matt Barkley. Luck and Barkley facing off twice a year would be awesome for the division!

You are absolutely right – time to start another RB – anything happening would be an improvement! Don’t really care what the reason is- Chris is a non- factor in our offense. By the way, our QB is not throwing well, our receivers are sloppy, our Offensive Co is clueless and so our defense is worn out by 4th qtr. The coaching is abysmal. I believe Matt got 5 1st downs in as many plays last week -perhaps he deserves another shot. We could use the experience. – hopefan

Do the Titans even have another runningback? Lendale White?

Play another RB – now! Chris is just not engaged. After all this time, you can’t continue to fault the O Line every single game. Why has our Offensive Co not figured this out – why does he keep sending CJ straight into the defensive line as if he were a power back? It’s like watching “Groundhog Day” nothing changes. Our rookie QB seems deer in the headlights right now.

Just take some dollars out of his wallet and he should be a little faster. Do their fans know that their Quarterback is not a rookie? I mean, I thought he was a rookie, but why would I pay any attention to the Titans?

With the players that the Titans have, there is no reason at all for these blowouts! The Chargers aren’t even that good and the Pats got beat today by the Cards at home! Why???? Why are they loosing like this??? Where is our multimillion dollar running game?? I’ve been a Titans fan since Tennessee picked them up and I have never been so pissed! I’m so disappointed. With them being in the same division as the Texans, they need to wake up!

Oh, and food for thought, while Bud wanted to push Fisher out, look at what the Rams are doing!! Word of advice Bud, don’t be another Jerry Jones. That’s the worse thing for the team.

RUN THE EFFIN FOOTBALL!!!! BLOCK FOR CJ!!!! – titansfan

STOP DOING DRUGS!!!!!!
