Chargers 17, Cardinals 6
Fun game, great seats!  Check out the pics…
The first string looked great (except for Philip Rivers’ 4 sacks by an impressive Cardinals’ defense.)  Rivers managed 5-7, 116 yds. Actually, Billy Volek looked awesome (I’m still asserting that he play in Pittsburgh!) LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles played much of the first quarter again [...]

I just read an interesting stat of which I was unaware.  Antonio Gates leads all tight ends with 4 TDs so far this season.  (I have him in one fantasy league and he hasn’t been racking up the points as usual so I didn’t think he was doing that well.)
Anyway, both teams had high expectations [...]

San Diego (3-3) at Buffalo (4-1)
San Diego looks to get its first winning record of the season when it travels to Buffalo Sunday.  Trent Edwards is expected to play after suffering a concussion vs. the Cardinals 2 weeks ago.  Lucky for him, the Bills had a bye last week, and Buffalo is undefeated following a bye [...]

Chargers 28, Raiders 18
I have to admit, I was pretty worried at halftime with the Bolts trailing 15-0.  HOWEVER, once again, the 2nd half is, in fact, the Chargers’ half.
First of all, let me be the first to say, “See ya Kiffin” cuz you know that Al Davis is firing his arse tomorrow!
Now on to [...]

Chargers 48, Jets 29
Who else enjoyed watching Brett Favre get sacked 3 times and intercepted thrice??!!  Particularly after listening to the horrid announcers that are MNF rave about Favre this and Favre that….ack, puke!!  At least, unlike Dan Dierdorf and Troy Aikman (who, in my opinion have no business calling any more games since neither of them [...]

Linebacker by committee

With Shawne Merriman’s decision to undergo season-ending knee surgery, San Diego’s linebacking corps will be a group effort.  Thanks to the extreme depth on the team, there will be a group rotation at the outside LB spot.  Among the replacements, Jyles Tucker, Marques Harris, and the newly-elevated-from-the-practice-squad Antwan Applewhite will take turns playing opposite Shaun [...]

Huge concerns over Merriman’s knee

August 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment

LB Shawne Merriman reports that he has a torn ligament in his surgically-repaired right knee.  He has gotten medical opinions in both Alabama and Florida and has recently returned to San Diego.  He can choose to have season-ending reconstructive surgery now, undergo minor surgery to get him through the season, or do nothing.  Merriman says [...]

Preseason Week 2 - Chargers 6, Rams 7 (yawn)

While this game wasn’t a nailbiter (although, seriously, what preseason games really are?), the Chargers showed some real defensive prowess.
Marc Bulger was intercepted on his first two drives - by CBs Cletus Gordon and Antoine Cason.  Additionally DT Lamar Divens and LB Jyles Tucker each forced a fumble.  LB Tim Dobbins and Tucker were each [...]

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 [...]
