Poor Mans Sports Center

Haha, check out this poor mans sports center preview of the Chargers vs Broncos game! They mention the Chargers need for a running presence and to pressure Orton if he indeed plays. Plus a lot of stuttering, ummms and ahhhs.

Either way they nailed it! Prediction, Chargers beat the Broncos! It still isn't the worst sports cast, CLICK HERE FOR BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE (Best and worst sports cast ever at the same time)!

Heeee's Baaaack

Now I'm not saying he's back to the same form of the 2006 season in which he scored 28 rushing TD's. But he is back to being a productive back! Also, LT is now comfortable with his role as just the RB. Philip carries the load that LT once took his shoulders. And let's be honest, the reason his production has been down is, 1. Injury and 2. The Chargers have been playing from behind and have had no choice but to throw.

As long as the games play to similar fashion as the game against the Eagles, LT will get his 15-20 touches and over 100 all purpose yards. As you can see from the video, LT passed a few more milestones Sunday! And should be setting more as the season rolls on!

LT! LT! LT! LT! LT! LT! LT! LT!

Mile High Showdown

"The last two games were important," said Captain Obvious. I had been saying for the past month the Chargers needed to win 2 of 3 games against the Giants, Eagles and the Broncos. We have already done this and we need to beat the Broncos!

I think the Chargers, myself included, are getting greedy and need to beat the Broncos. And I mean greedy in a good way. I think a better word than "greedy" is the Chargers "desire" a win. This is good news because a few weeks ago, a lot of people didn't think the Chargers had the desire to be a championship football team.

THE FIRE IS BACK!

Believe In The Bolts is the motto of the season. A lot of fans fell of early in the season and are now back. For us TRUE FANS who never left and never plan on leaving, we know what's up and we know what a win against the Broncos will do for this team.

It would be the best confidence boost! Not to mention such a demotivater and demoralizer for the Broncos!

"THIS IS A BIG GAME FOR THE BOLTS," CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

LT is gonna be a Daddy!

In October, everyone was jumping ship! Already looking towards Baseball season, and the draft. I said to Believe in the Bolts! And all you true fans stuck with me and I with you and US with the BOLTS! And it has paid off in the form of a 4 game win streak and a share of First Place in the AFC West!

Here we are, halfway through November and I want to welcome all of the non-true fans back. I still believe 12-4 is very attainable and 11-5 is both respectable and realistic.

On another note, LT is going to be a father! Congrats!!! Ladainian came into the locker room after a strong 2 touchdown performance to find a hand written note from his wife. On it, LaTorsha wrote that she was pregnant with their first child! Congrats!

I also want to thank the true fans for standing behind the bolts and forever procliaming......

.....Believe in the Bolts!!!!

Saving LT?

AHHHHH what an image of LT! I had it on my wall for the majority of my College career. It brings back memories of when LT was in so dominate at the RB position. We all know over the past years LT has been broken down going into the end of the season and the playoffs. What did that mean for the Chargers? Very little run game, if any run game at all in the post season.

Is Norv doing this on purpose? Is LT being saved for the post season? Will LT dominate the second half of the season?

I don't buy into this theory. I could be wrong, Norv could be a genius and be quietly saving LT for the post season. Imagine having a full strength LT in New England in the 2007 season. Would LT have pulled in the safeties and opened two touchdowns over the top in the pass? And given us a Super Bowl birth over the Pats and against the Giants?

Lets look back at this season. Last in the league in rushing yards and third to last in attempts. Is this a masterful strategy to save LT's legs for the post season? We gotta hope so, because if not, the run game needs a jump start.

Legen.... wait for it..... DAIRY

I love it! Weeks ago I asked, begged and pleaded for people to continue to "Believe in the Bolts." What do we have now? We are only 1 game behind the once dominant Broncos.

The game against the Giants was Legen... wait for it... DAIRY!!! The Rivers Draft day trade seems to have DIRECTLY paid off. Rivers, of course, threw the game tying touchdown pass, Keading kicked the go ahead extra point and Merriman closed the game out by sacking Eli Manning (Chargers drafted Eli, and traded him for Rivers and two future draft picks who were Keading and Merriman).

The bolts had their problems in the game, but I want to talk about what they did great on Sunday.

1. 2 minute drill
2. Pressure on Eli
3. V Jax coming up huge
4. Field position!
5. Forcing 3rd and long
6. Blitzing Schemes (Defensive Play Calling)
7. Aggressive play calling

With this there is plenty of room for improvement. For instance, forcing 3rd and long was something we did well. Some thing the Bolts didn't do well was, stop that 3rd and long!

All of us TRUE fans never stopped Believing in the Bolts! And for those of you who did stop believing, WELCOME BACK!

Home Blues

I'm not talking about losing at home, I'm talking about the home Blue Jerseys. We have not taken the field in a regular season game in the Dark Blues yet.

And were not gonna see them this Sunday in New York either. Giants wear their home blues in NY. Which, by default, puts us in our whites. I like the white uni's but I think next chance we get, the Chargers should wear the ever menacing Dark Blues!
