After The Dust Settles
The line was drawn with regard to LaDainian Tomlinson's degree of villainy or gamesmanship during the AFC Championship game. You either think he should have gotten his rich ass on the field, sucked it up and played, or you think he did the selfless, smart thing by taking himself...
Are the Chargers still in the playoffs? In the league?
Ah, the musings from the brain trust that is Jim Nantz and Phil Simms.
As the Jaguars-Patriots game was in garbage time, the CBS broadcasters calling the game queried, and I am only slightly paraphrasing here: "are the Chargers still in the playoffs… are they still in the...
Improbable Indy Upset
For the team that shouldn't be, they sure made a statement on Sunday. The San Diego Chargers defeated the reigning Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts 28-24. The experts are no doubt exasperated.
The game was a back-and-forth match of will and desire. Neither side of the ball...
Doing The Playoff Math
The Indianapolis Colts appear to be the better team. They are clearly the favorite to win. Vegas has the San Diego Chargers as 10 point dogs. NFL On Fox pre-game prognosticators Terry, Howie and Jimmy all picked Indy without hesitation. Luckily for Chargers fans, they are still going...
Questionable. Probable. Unstoppable?
It’s a fancy problem, finding yourself as third wheel while out on a date with destiny. Yes, the Chargers are actually daring to challenge the perfect Patriots and their increasingly apparent pre-determined Super Bowl win this season. Â
A few inane goof-faw’s were uttered...
Bolts look to tame Broncos in home finale
This isn’t your average Bolt & Pony show.
The Chargers have clinched the division. The Broncos are out of playoff contention. Neither is looking past Sunday's game.
San Diego is good for the 3rd or 4th seed in the playoffs. With Cleveland and Pittsburgh taking the AFC...

P-Riv Under The Knife
Philip Rivers underwent surgery today on the torn ACL in his right knee. Reports say it will be six months until he's back up and running. Let me just say for now, the man showed guts. He's the leader of this team, he's the man in San Diego.
Good Time...
Merriman Speaks, Again
After a disappointing loss to the Jaguars, Shawne Merriman was not very pleased. I wasn’t sure if it was the loss, his performance (one tackle), or getting blown up by MJD. Lets just hope this motivates Merriman for the rest of the season. Here is his comments retracting some...

Tough Break For The Titans
When the Tennessee Titans take on the Chargers Sunday (1:30pm PST on CBS), they'll be without top wide receiver Roydell Williams. According to the Titans website, Williams broke his right ankle during practice on Wednesday. With tight end Bo Scaife also on the shelf, the Titans...
Vincent Jackson Checks In
Sure, it’s 9 quarters too late, but better late than never.
VJ’s TD catch was almost as pretty as Philip’s pass.

After 1 half
We still cannot defend the pass, at least Rivers looks sharp in setting a personal-best with 16 consecutive completions to start the game.

The Bitter Cold
The San Diego Chargers went into the frigid New England night and battled a flawless foe; while they fought hard, they ultimately faded into the night. Despite a valiant effort from a hobbled Philip Rivers, the team couldn't quite put it together. Kudos to the Patriots for continuing...
You Stay Classy, Philip Rivers
There seems to be much ado surrounding the verbal shenanigans of Philip Rivers. Earlier in the season I felt the foibles showed character. After the Colts game last weekend I hope he doesn’t become too much of a character.
While on the sideline nursing an injury, Rivers unnecessarily...
Bolts vs. Colts II: Game Harder
The nimble foot of Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri is usually spot on. The man has won big games, including the big game. Week 10 found Vinatieri at Qualcomm Stadium in sunny San Diego with his team down two with less than two minutes to go. A 29-yard field goal was all he needed to [...]

Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs.
After a stammering loss in November of '01, then Colts head coach Jim Mora gave an epic speech, hammering himself and his reeling team. One intrepid reporter then asked Mora about his 4-6 team making the playoffs, to which the coach miserably exclaimed: “Playoffs...
