Here it is!  The big game (so far anyway.)
Interestingly, both games are a rematch from Week 2 this season.  Green Bay beat New York 35-13, and New England beat San Diego 38-14. 
I was watching Gameday on NFL Network this morning.  Trent Dilfer was illustrating the injury to Philip Rivers’ knee and how it may affect his […]

 Chargers 28, Colts 24 - Chargers advance to the AFC Championship Game!!
I love the following picture:

OMG!!!  I will try to type a coherent post right now with my bruised palms, sore throat and headache, but I DON’T CARE!!
WOO HOO!!!  Beating the reigning Super Bowl CHUMPS twice this year, wow.  And with the horrible officiating by […]

Once again, Chargers 17, Titans 6
O.K., where to start?  How about with Chris Chambers, who had his best game of the season in his first career playoff game (bet he’s glad he left Miami!) with 6 catches for 121 yds, with his 3rd-and-10, 39-yd clutch reception in the 4th quarter which kept alive the drive […]

Chargers 23, Titans 17
What an unbelievable game, my pulse is still racing!
Let me begin by proposing that Tennessee’s “LP Field” be renamed “LT Field”….think that’ll fly?  And it appears that Vince Young has fallen prey to the “Madden Curse.”
I have to admit, I was rapidly losing faith in the 2nd quarter, and had really lost it […]

In this day and age of “me me me” players, it’s nice to see a cohesive team who genuinely respects each other.  As is the case of the Chargers special teams.  Actually, the entire team is like that, with no “superstars” taking the spotlight or complaining about not seeing enough action.  Really, here is a […]

Way to go Antonio Cromartie, Week 9 AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for that unbreakable 109-yd missed FG return for TD in Minnesota.  Despite the heartbreaking loss to the Vikings, it’s nice to have such a bright spot!
Being his 2nd special teams TD in 2 consecutive weeks (he recovered an “errant punt” in the […]

Honor for Scifres

P Mike Scifres was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after the Chargers win over Houston last week.  In typical Scifres fashion, he said his coverage team deserves the attention stating, “All I did was kick the ball,” before giving kudos to his teammates.
And kick the ball he did, netting a career-high 50.2-yd average and a […]
