If your a Charger fan and can only go to one game this year…this has to be it. The wife and I were originally going to go to this one but we decided to go to the Falcons game since it was 2-0 vs 2-0. Being blacked out had something to do with it too.
The Peyton Manning’s are coming to town after a nice comeback try against the hated New England Patsies. We generally own Peyton Manning. Since he is now a Donky, this is a different story. We know this team very well. The Defense for the most part is pretty solid. Champ Bailey is highly overrated. The LB’s are a solid bunch when they are not in trouble off the football field.
Manning’s offensive weapons dont scare anyone. WR Demaryius Thomas is a freak of an athlete, but thats it. With the way our DB’s have been playing the last few weeks, their WR’s may look like studs on MNF. If we can not cover theses simple WR’s, we will have a long game ahead of us. The RB’s lead by the aging but ever productive Willis McGahee are still getting it done.
Offensively I see the Chargers being able to march up and down the field. Every week Rivers and the WR’s are getting more work together. Antonio Gates has really yet to bust onto the scene. He’s been more of a decoy as of late. Malcolm Floyd has been the most consistent of the bunch. Meachum’s productivity last week was amazing! If he can do half that per week, we will be a happy group of fans in San Diego.
Ryan Mathews. Every week since his returns to the line up has shown great improvement. He can be the beast we know he is capable of. He is soo dangerous when he has the ball. Give him a few more carries and he will bust the long TD run we wanna see.
Rivers needs to play what the defense gives him. This does not need to be fancy. He will get his yards, his TD’s. Dont over do it Philip. Trust in your guys, which you do, and they will do the rest. A great defense is a great offense. Keep Manning off the field and not let them ever get into a flow in the game.
The Chargers Defense has played good but not great this season. The front 7 need to have their presence felt. The CB’s are struggling when we give any opposing QB time to pick them apart. Playing CB is the second toughest job in the NFL. Lets not make it harder than it has to be for our guys. It may be time to really consider moving Jammer to Safety. I am not an NFL player or coach. I dont understand how hard it is to coach or train him to turn around and look for the ball. Maybe it just looks so simple when your not playing on the field but watching from your couch.
Come on Chargers! Lets get some revenge on the NFL for stealing a win from us for their lil darling QB on SNF. This time, its their 3rd favorite QB on MNF. Bolt Up San Diego and cheer on our Chargers as they beat the Donkies 31-21 on MNF!
