(HD) Ray Lewis nails Darren Sproles to end the game. (via Rusty98UMtake2) Notice Ray starts running before the ball is even snapped. I think he may have known the snap count. I've watched a lot of Ray Lewis in my life, and I seriously doubt he would've risked giving the Chargers an easy first down there by "taking a risk". As I've said. Not a poor play call, not Norv Turner's fault. Even if that was a pass play, Rivers is hit before he knows what happened. This play is on the offensive line and their inexperience.

Have you guys seen this before? Being that I don't subscribe to Sunday Ticket I only see games that are broadcast to me on Network TV (Fox and CBS), so it's nice to know what the networks are treating me to each week. It's also kind of fun to try to figure out their logic for how they break up the nation. For example, why did Fox decide that the Eastern part of Maine should see TB/Buf but the western part should see NO/Phi?

Ever wanted to see a line chart of the San Diego Chargers performance on ESPN's Power Rankings for the past 7+ seasons? Now you can.

Dear ESPN analysts Steve Young and Mike Golic: You’re both great guys, but you should have watched the officiating video the NFL sent out last week in which Mike Pereira, the league’s head of officials, went over the exact situation where Oakland wide receiver Louis Murphy’s potential 19-yard touchdown in the first half was overturned. Pereira explained in detail that a receiver has to control the ball all the way to the ground for it to be a catch and that the league was emphasizing that point this season.

Gartrell was claimed by the Giants today after being waived yesterday.

Chargers actually did better than I thought. They came out slightly above average. Right on par with a team that would go 8-8 or 9-7. The Raiders came out as below average, I'm guess a lot of that had to do with that abysmal passing game. I guess I should have known better. Still, not what I want from this team, but it ain't so bad.
