I HATE the uniforms - blehhhh and yup looked like Christmas out there, LOL!
Congrats to Buffalo - I like them better than the Jets any day. Although one of the reasons I so dislike the Jets has to do with Ryan's obnoxious mouth and now he's Buffalo's coach. How long until he ruins them for me too? Not a fan.

Derek is very poised. He grew up in an NFL locker room, was studying film as a teenager alongside of his brother. He's a good man. He's a solid person - husband, father. He's very calm and pretty much unflappable.
In other words - he's trouble ahead for my beloved Chargers. And I can't even hate him for it
We had season tickets for the Fresno State Bulldogs when he was the QB, so we watched him grow before our eyes.
-
Like I said, long ball, barely an effort, soft touch. He throws an incredibly catchable ball.
-
I'm not the least bit surprised at how well Derek Carr is playing - he will give us fits for years to come. We watched him develop at Fresno State. He makes wise decisions, is careful with the ball and has a deep bomb ball with incredible touch.
If he played in any other division I'd be able to root for him, LOL! So in our family we root for Derek, not his team.
-
Just finished watching your guys' game last night. Luck has so much talent and fire - he just needs to not try so hard at times. And not try to get it all done in one play. Rivers has struggled with that same mentality of "I have to carry the entire team on my back." Oh wait! But he does... and he's having an unbelievable year with no Oline, and a revolving door offense (again).
I don't live in SD any more, so the move doesn't affect me much except that friends and family are still there. I'm just resigned to what ever happens.

12 injuries in a single game? That's brutal.
Yeah and two starting, top notch players IR'd out of a single game.... Brutal is right. Jacoby was cut today - what a disappointment.
-
Now about real teams that are in disarray from an overwhelming amount of serious injuries to starters.... We lost Keenan Allen to IR today, WR on pace to set a new record for the Chargers and 3rd best all time in NFL (kidney laceration) and Brandon Oliver RB having a great year (toe)
I think our season is lost - we still come to compete and win, but we should work our young players as much as possible to see what we have and give them a chance to develop. Malcolm Floyd is retiring, Antonio Gates is 35 - we have got to make the transition to the next series of great players to lean on.
-
They're like children "It's all about me, me, me, ME & US PATS!" There's always a way to bring the Pats into any post
-
This move wan't AJ's... Tom Telesco brought in Jacoby Jones. He has been a complete and utter bust. He's timid. He hesitates. He won't field the ball, but just lets it drop. He's got to be cut and we've got to pick up someone else.
He was injured the first game or so and we've even had Keenan Allen back there - with the coach's order to fair catch only as he's too valuable to risk on a punt or kick return.
It's been a brutal year. Mentioning Keenan, he injured a kidney in the Ravens game Sunday where we lost 12 players. That ALSO is not a type. 12 injuries in one game, 8 of them kept guys completely off the field, the rest bandaged up and limped along.
-
Unbelievable injury year.... no way around it. 8 starters injured today added to the 15 or something already injured. Ugh!
-
I had company all day so I didn't get to watch any other games until the night game. I just saw scores - briefly what happened in your game?
-
I remember the "Ain'ts" and the paper bags well. They were in a sorry state.
What ever is going to happen I'm just ready for it to get done - there's been a poisoning of the team's support by this whole process. Since I don't live in San Diego anymore, I don't get all the local perspective but I see enough to know it's time for a decision.
-
H O R R I B L E game - at least the first half. No excuses... just terrible play all around.
-
We had a "shared" stadium today at OUR home game. LA Raider's fans are already established, if SD moves with them guess who will have the harder time drawing a crowd.
I've given up - I think they'll move and it won't go well. How many teams have already been there and left? The whole sunshine state problem is too many out of state born and bred people who don't care about their local teams.
-
I don't get my panties in a wad about who is the "greatest" of all time. Each QB has unique strengths and weaknesses AND has differing situations with the strength of the team around them. We don't have an adequate perspective on the old time guys - we didn't see the play so we discount their abilities or just don't think much about them. I think any QB that makes the top 10 is a great QB - one that just about any of us would be happy to have lead our teams.
What about the guy who was drafted by a rotten team that didn't do much to improve his circumstances? What about these young QBs that get to or win super bowls because the team around them was so strong all they had to do was not screw things up? Two or three years later, they are seen for their true talent level. Too many moving targets to ever get a true apples to apples comparison.

I don't think he's playing to achieve lifetime records. I believe it took some convincing by the Broncos for him to even come back. I've never met the man, but I'd be willing to bet he's not one playing to break records.
I don't think that's his only reason - he would never start a season thinking he would jeopardize the chances of his team. He obviously thought he would be an asset not a liability, but If he had already achieved the goals his calculation might have been different.
I do not mean any disrespect at mentioning his records - they are important and you don't play as long as he has without wanting to leave your mark.
-
Peyton is hanging on because of lifetime records - I understand that but he's one year past what he should have played and will only continue to go down in performance. His mind will keep him/them in some of the games but his body is betraying him AND he's no longer playing in a system that lets his mind win the games for them.
I do not want to see him hurt - and I'm very afraid that's how things are going to end for him.
-
8 starters on offense out. Losing Keenan was the final straw for this game, we weren't the same after he went out. Only 60 yards running is pathetic, two fumbles by your number 1 rb is inexcusible.
One man can't win a game on his own, but Rivers darn near willed it to happen. Our OLine performed incredibly well today for who they are and who they were playing against. Most of the week we didn't have any of our starter OLine practicing.
Sick. Of. Injuries.
-
Why? Gordon is playing behind an oline that makes our guys look like HOFers.
This^^^^
During practice this week not ONE of our starting Olinemen was practicing. They're out there playing on guts and a love for Philip Rivers. Center, LG and LT are out and last week we went through every available lineman. Next injury a TE was going in on the line.
No excuses, but it is reality.
Gordon has shown brilliance breaking long, crazy runs. He'll settle down and be a good player long term. He has the work ethic and commitment to do well if we can keep him healthy.
I don't know if he was benched for his fumbles or was injured, but I support heavy discipline on rookie rbs that fumble. They have to learn early to pay total attention to ball safety.
-
My wife asked a couple of days ago if Freeney was still with the Chargers. I didn't realize he was cut. Glad someone is giving him a chance to do something.
I shouldn't have used the term "cut" he was just not brought back last year. The team expressed their great gratitude for all he had done and meant to the team as well as sorrow at the parting, but must not have felt he had enough left to resign.

Thanks for the kind references, Gramz and others. It's nice to be appreciated. I joined here the week prior to a Chargers/Colts playoff game, probably in 2007. There have been so many migrations of this forum it's lost in the clouds. I'm a seriously lousy trash talker, I just enjoy the small nature of this forum, the "nice midwestern folks" and the informed football discussion for the most part without a great deal of hubris and cockiness.
I became a Chargers fan in 1970 in junior high school - so I'm dating myself. My runner up team became the Colts in all those years that we didn't make the playoffs (we seem to be there again...). So I came over here to wish you guys well the week prior to the game and was so warmly welcomed I never left.
I do frequent the Charger's message board, but it can get so vicious after a disappointing loss like this week, that I prefer being here for perspective. My handle is the same where ever I go so my comments are easy to track and will be consistent - no two-faced stuff. I'm actually tougher on my fellow fans there than I am here. The guys get a kick out of it when I gently but effectively call out a young ignorant fan
There used to be a couple ladies there but I haven't seen them for years. I might be it, here there are quite a few of us and that makes it a special kind of fun. I'm here because I'm a student of the game and enjoy learning from those here that know so much more than I

I never know what to do about the Chargers in my weekly football picks. The team is so unpredictable; they can play a great game and then the next week fall to pieces. One of my co-workers is a Chargers fan, and she gets quite frustrated at times. One thing: the Chargers provide their fans with some exciting games.
Yeah, I can commiserate. We're much more consistent when we don't have so many serious injuries in the offensive line... hard to do anything on offense without a solid front and while our D is improved it can't win on it's own. Practice today, not one of the five starting linemen is practicing as normal. How on earth do you prepare for Green Bay without a line. Just hoping Rivers will stay in one piece!
-
He single handedly is keeping the team afloat. They had a graphic last night on the game of how many linemen we've gone through since 2011. I believe it was 29 at that time in the game and we lost another couple during the game. geesh... if it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all.
We had our 6th concussion last night which leads the league. I hope someone can figure out if there's anything in the training etc. that's making it worse.
Our season is about to be over soon if we don't get it straightened out. Oh, and we play GB this week - a walk in the park
NOT!!!!!
-
I refuse to go anywhere near the Charger's message board this morning, it will be unbelievably toxic. People don't get that you can play your heart out and lose. I know my Colt's fans brethren don't know anything about toxic message boards, lol!

Peyton manning OUT vs Bears (update)

I had this condition for several YEARS - it's pure anguish when you're doing activity that affects it and then you don't even feel it at other times. Waking up in the morning and putting your feet on the ground was sheer torture.
Footwork is everything as a QB. I don't know how Peyton is going to recover and do anything meaningful.
