Chargers favored in our house when we have the better record. Hmmm
 Last time, they beat us with a heavy dose of Antonio Gates and I suspect they will do it again. I hope Bush comes up with a new scheme. The one they are using now ain't cutting it.

The Chargers have given up lots of turnovers, like -8, which is why they have lost despite top offense and defenses.
So, hopefully we can get the turnovers on them and take care of the ball ourselves. Play with urgency, intensity, is fine, but need to stay in control as well. Stop the dumb penalties and turnovers on our side.

It would be nice to beat the Chargers. Hell, it would be nice to beat anyone the way we are playing right now. I honestly think if Kubiak doesn't do something, he is gonna lose the confidence of the entire team, to say nothing of this board.

Antonio Gates VERY Questionable for the game
Mark this down as something that doesn't suck.....
http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...ort=NFL&id=611 Antonio Gates tore the plantar fascia in his right foot during Week 8 -- the foot opposite the left toe and ankle injuries that have hobbled him for the past two weeks. He's now got significant injuries on both feet. Gates sought a medical opinion for plantar fasciitis last May, but it hasn't been a regular season problem until now. "My (right) foot was on fire," said Gates, who suffered the new injury in the second half of last Sunday's win. Many people find it difficult to walk for multiple weeks after popping their plantar fascia. Predicted foot specialist Dr. Phillip Kwong, "It’s going to be really tough to play with any proficiency this Sunday. ... This injury will make it difficult for him to push off and be explosive." Gates appears to be in real danger of missing Week 9. Last edited by WMH; 11-04-2010 at 10:00 AM.

I've basically decided that if you want to see our future under Kubiak, just look across the field this week. Kubiak is Norv Turner 2.0. A highly regarded OC from a highly successful multiple Super Bowl winner who most likely reached his ceiling as an OC. Much like Norv, I think Kubiak is just good enough to keep people thinking "man, if we can just put it all together next year . . ." In reality, I don't think you can get over the hump with either. Both may get you into the playoffs every now and again but I don't think either has what it takes to actually make any waves once there. Both of their teams are simply under-prepared too often, make too many needless mistakes, and the coaches have too many brainfarts to compete against the truly good teams.
The number of astoundingly bad decisions Kubiak has made that were obviously bad even as they were unfolding is a testament to this. Just off the top of my head - not hurrying up the offense against Indy last year to prevent a challenge (I was screaming at my TV to hurry up in real time, not hindsight), putting the punt return in against J-ville when they were going for it (I was screaming at my TV to call a timeout in real time, not hindsight), HB pass (didn't have time to scream), refusing to run the ball last week (I was screaming at my TV all night in real time, not hindsight), etc., etc.

Oh, by the way, this will be one of the two or three games in the team's history that I will deliberately not watch in real time. I'm on a sort of vacation and in a place that does not care one fig about the NFL and I can't be bothered to try to figure out how to watch the game on TV. Yes, I have sling cast and I can buy the game online but screw it. You guys deserve a game without my bitter injections.

Nice return by Sproles but flag on the play. Illegal hands to the face on the Chargers. Places the ball at the Chargers 22.
Mathews runs right side for 5. 2nd and 5 coming up. Mathews goes left for about 6. 1st down. Rivers sacked by Mario! 2nd and 15 coming up. Mathews runs for about 6. 3rd and 9 coming up.
