Sunday Story

I was primed to watch the game when I got the call.  My father had to undergo emergency surgery.  Everything went well and things look good; it was funny that I didn't hear; I just knew the Chargers had won. I didn't look until this morning; everything looks brighter now.

Thank you for sharing that game here.  Everyone gets an A today.  Today we must also retire the Hochuli.  As a way to take the sting out of a tough season it was a good bit of fun, but here are the Chargers that much stronger for having overcome.  And lets give the Broncos their due; this is our rival and next year Shanahan will be back with a retooled defense.  This season has been more memorable with another team vying for the division.  I'd like to say that for an opening season; it just wouldn't have been the same without the folks over at MHR.  The Sports Guru is unalloyed class; he already has put up congratulations to the Bolts.

Next week Indy!

Drove up to LA from SD yesterday afternoon because I have (UGH) work this week. Caught the game with some good friends at my place who weren’t Chargers fans but were very happy to see the demolishing with me. Oh, and I watched the game in a different room than I did in Week 2 so that definitely made all the difference.

Here’s to another victory on Saturday and a speedy recovery for the DaBolts Dad!

The one game I get to watch with family this year....

and I don’t remember too much of the 4th quarter. I mean, I remember the high-fives and the flowing alcohol, but I certainly don’t remember Hester’s TD run and I was shocked to see Sproles had 14 carries (I would’ve guessed he had half that).

Doesn’t matter though. Great game. I decided to wow my family with my brilliance and before the game got up on the coffee table and declared “Tatum Bell will look great. Cutler will throw a couple of interceptions deep in our territory. We’ll destroy them because we have tons of momentum and they don’t.” I then spent the rest of the game slurring “I TOLD YOU!” every few minutes. I did not expect our O-line to be that good. I didn’t expect Chambers to do what he did either. Sometimes two teams seem very evenly matched until you add in momentum. In the last few weeks of the year, when bodies are hurting, it can win the game for the lesser team every time.

That’s my Sunday. I passed out at around 9:30. I have no idea how much I drank but early estimates from my family and my throbbing head are “a lot”. This morning I ran out front to get the paper because I wasn’t sure it was real. As someone who really dislikes Shanahan, that was fun.

The Colts are the ultimate test though. We’re always even with them. In past years we won those close games and this year we didn’t. We missed that “it” that seems to be back. If we win that game, we’re more dangerous than we were last year (simply because Rivers is healthy).

I thought it was a dream, too

I woke up at around 5 this morning and went to my laptop and watched all the highlight vids on NFL.com. Really glorious stuff.

Bronco Fans at the Game

There were quite a few Bronco fans at the game last night. I sit in a section with old season ticket holders, and I think a lot of them sold them weeks ago. It looked as if a ton of Bronco fans bought them up to celebrate a division championship… it made the win that much better.

AccuScore has the Chargers winning 52% of simulations against the Colts. The average score? 23.9 to 23.1. Yeah, this one might be close.

Agreed

The only way I see the Chargers beating up on Indy is if they completely dominate the turnover battle (say, 3 to 0) and they hit at least one or two big passing plays that result in TDs. Both of which I would call “luck related events” and assume they won’t happen. So the game should be close. Not go for the old fill in stress related medical ailment here.

Can we boost our expectations a little

now that they’re playing like a real football team, as opposed to the team they were when they faced Indy earlier this year?

I hope you all have great Saturday stories to share this week.

I will be soaking up the sunshine in southern Mexico for the next couple of weeks. If it is possible, I am going to try to find the game at a bar or something.

GO CHARGERS! KICK SOME A. YOU CAN DO THIS.
