I live in San Diego and can't stand this fair-weather fan base. It won't be a good day if they beat the Packers,(but they won't) I'll never hear about it from the messed up fan base. I wonder who they paid and how much, so they did not have to go to Green Bay in the cold weather, plus they just changed the start of the game from 10 am to 125 pm. They even played the Vikings in week 3.

Smokey;326729Say What ?

LOL...

SD has had major injury problems w/ OL.

It is such a carousel I was thinking it would be confusing if I used the names of the SD OLman; and thought the best way to communicate how crazy it is it was by using names that we are familiar with.

I guess it was bad plan; but maybe your "say what" indicates how unreal you perceived the scenario I described above is; however, its a scenario the Chargers experienced while playing Pitts. on Monday.
Now they have short week to get an OL together.

TheKanataThrilla;326701I think the Vikings provided a good blueprint on how to beat these guys.
Get a lot of pressure on Rivers and the DBs play up to their talent.


My one concern Antonio Gates and getting exploited over the middle.
If we can keep Gates in check I think we should find ourselves at 6-0 going into the bye.

That's going to be Micah Hyde's assignment.

How is it possible to have the 28th ranked rushing defense and be 7th overall?

DakotaT;326734How is it possible to have the 28th ranked rushing defense and be 7th overall?

It's a passing league.... there are a lot more yards gain via the pass and the Packers pass rushers have done very well getting them to #4 in passing yards.

A good game for a RB is 100 yards... QB is 300 yards. .. so running yards is the minor factor

DakotaT;326733That's going to be Micah Hyde's assignment.

I think we'll be seeing Joe Thomas get some work covering Gates this week.

If you were constructing a team to win against the Packers, it would not look like the Chargers.

You need an offensive line to run the ball and keep Rodgers on the sidelines.
Additionally, you need great defense at every level.

The Chargers O-line is hurting.
Rivers can make it interesting but cannot win a shootout with Rodgers.

The Packers defense just needs a couple more stops than the Chargers defense.

Last week, Chargers QB P.Rivers (Pee Rivers, Ha Ha ) was disturbed by the crowd noise in his home stadium being made by Steeler fans. This week he has to play on the road in GB. [h]GO PACK GO ![/h] [giddity] [rofl]

DarkaneRules;326702This may be another "pick party". Don't blitz this guy, because like Aaron he can pick you apart.

I don't know about that. While I certainly agree with you that he's great against the blitz (Rivers is completing 74.4 percent of his passes and averaging 11 yards per pass attempt with three touchdowns against the blitz this season), I would like to see the defense continue to play like they have the last few games. It'd be shame to see that aggressiveness go now. You can tone it down a bit, but I wouldn't just start dropping back in coverage.

The thing I'd like to see when they start this game off, is how effective we can be getting to Rivers with just four guys. Like Barfarn pointed out, that o-line is rather battered. On paper, it certainly does look like we should have the upper hand. I'd just like to also see Matthews coming up the middle on a couple of plays, rather than going with a 3-man rush in critical situations like Capers always seemed to do the last few years.

The offense is tired of The defense grabbing all the headlines!

This is THE BLOWOUT everyone has been waiting for!

PACKERS 52
CHARGERS 17
