Week 17 Post-Game Report or “Chargers Rule, Raiders Suck!”

Chargers 30, Raiders 17 
Welcome to the league JaMarcus Russell…..first start, first play, INT to Igor Olshansky. 
However, I, for one, am not really happy with the Chargers’ performance in the first half. 
Too much inconsistency and way too many rushing yards allowed by the DST.  Not to mention the proliferation of unnecessary penalties…completely uncalled for and […]

(And his 2nd consecutive title!!)  Adrian Peterson (MIN) was runner up, but undoubtedly a lock for Rookie of the Year!
And now, a photo tribute to the great LT…..the TRUE MVP of the NFL.

Week 17 Rants - Or ‘Oh My, Charger_Girl Has a Really Big Mouth’ (yeah, yeah, I know.)

You know you love these posts…if not, why are you reading them?
So, as I’m watching Drayton Florence draw a pass interference penalty early in the Chargers/Raiders game after not bothering to look for the ball (something Quentin Jammer used to do too often but has since improved) which allowed the Raiders to score, I became […]

Week 17 Pre-Game - Chargers (10-5) @ Oakland (4-11)

Hmmm, well, I ought to predict BIG things for the Chargers (after all they have won their 2nd AFC West title in 2 years and….come on, you all know the words by now…..their 3rd in 4 years!); however, being a long-time Chargers fan, things don’t always happen the way they should.
Last meeting, LaDaininan Tomlinson ran […]

Alas, the last injury report of the regular season…
Lorenzo Neal is still out with his fractured fibula.
Marques Harris broke his hand against Denver and needs surgery, but is not expected to miss any playing time although he did not participate in practice thus far this week.
Nate Kaeding has a bruised fibula (hopefully only bruised) and also […]

Chargers 23, Broncos 3 (collectively this season Chargers 64, Broncos 6)
Let me start by saying that I am sick to death of hearing about how great Denver WAS….get it, WAS….are you listening Tony Kornheiser….WAS.  Jay Cutler is no John Elway.  WAS WAS WAS not IS…..O.K….on to the recap.
With Willie Parker’s broken leg this week and Adrian […]

Rushing Title Update….

Willie Parker fractured his fibula in the first quarter of the Rams/Steelers game and is out for the remainder of the season.  With LT only 6 yds behind him (at 1,311), barring any magnificent performance by Adrian Peterson* (currently at 1,278) over the next two weeks or any idiotic decisions by Norv Turner, LT might just snag his […]

Week 16 Pre Game - Denver (6-8) @ San Diego (9-5) - MNF Christmas Eve Spectacular

Monday Night Football in San Diego on Christmas Eve, the week after the Chargers clinched their 2nd AFC West title, will be electric, to say the least!
Last time these two teams met, Week 5 in Denver, the Chargers killed the Broncos 41-3 on the heels of LaDainian Tomlinson.    That victory spurred the Chargers to subsequently […]

Pro Bowl Selection - 8 Chargers Going to Hawaii!!

December 18, 2007 | 1 Comment

LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Lorenzo Neal (hurry up leg….heal!) are all Pro-Bowl AFC Starters.
Alternates include Kris Dielman, Jamal Williams, Kassim Osgood, Antonio Cromartie, and Shawne Merriman (although personally, I believe that INT leader Cromartie and sack leader Merriman deserved the starts.  Apparently my 37 pro bowl ballots weren’t enough.)
Way to go guys!!  You can pack […]

With Great Apology to Andrew Pinnock

December 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Apparently, in my gleeful Chargers/Lions postgame ramblings, I severely neglected to point out the contributions of backup FB Andrew Pinnock, who stepped up after Lorenzo Neal broke his leg in Tennessee.  Thankfully, Berney, one of my readers pointed out my oversight, so…thank you Berney.
Of course, neither LT nor Darren Sproles would have each had 100+ yd […]
