How the Chargers can beat us:
If the Chargers are to beat us, here are some possible headlines we could see Sunday night/Monday morning.
And I won't use the injury possibility.
-Chargers capitalize on Packer miscues, turnovers, hand Packers first loss
-Chargers win thriller as Packer kicker misses FG as time expires
-Chargers swarm Rodgers, sack QB 7 times in 24-20 upset
We are capable of losing to anyone if turnovers go the wrong way. Sometimes, they are a bit lucky, turnovers.
Also, kick & punt returns.... still, I expect Randall Cobb to break one this week!
Actually, we were thinking that we would be the ones to turn the ball over, miss field goals or get sacked by the Packers. This is my first post here, beside the introduction, so I wanted to just say thanks for the opportunity. The confidence level out here, as you might imagine, is not too high right now. We are all sitting around scratching our heads trying to figure out just what the problem is with the Bolts. Sure, injuries are mounting up, but they are on other teams too. Our QB seems to be in a funk, but actually showed signs of snapping out of it last week........ until he botched the snap. Playing the Packers at this particular moment isn't something we believe will be..... uh..... therapeutic.
No matter the outcome, I just wanted to stop by and say "Hi" from San Diego. It will be the first game I have attended since the early 80's when Dan Fouts was the QB. My friends say that I could not have picked a worse week to go. Playing an undefeated team that is on a roll may not be the best thing for my Chargers right now. Hope all of you who come out to San Diego for the game will enjoy yourselves. Hope to see some of you there.
Hey, are you a visiting forum member from our sister forum, Bolt Talk? If so, what's the mood there about the upcoming game?
I do think it's going to be very difficult for the Chargers' D to keep up with our O. I expect the Pack to start off slowly offensively but eventually Aaron will find his groove and the Chargers' D is not gonna like it when he does.
BoltNut,
You and I (and we have many others) go way back.... I loved the Dan Fouts to John Jefferson year. And then when they traded him to the Packers, the Fouts to Wes Chandler.... Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner. I loved Lionel Little Train James.
Later I loved Gary Anderson when they plucked him from the USFL.
I loved Marion Butts...... the Dolphins with Marino and Chargers with Fouts were my favorite teams other than the Packers.
I loved Brees and LT together, and went to the Raiders@Chargers Sunday night game in either 05 or 06 there... Brees wasn't a "star" yet. Of course, that's why they had drafted Rivers, and why they then let Brees go. But LT was a superstar at that time, and I remember thinking and saying after that game, that to me, Brees was the best player on that field.
That team blew their chance, under Schottenheimer, when that idiot Marlon McCree went ghetto on the game-ending interception of Brady in the playoff game, when the Patriots were the dynasty. Game was over, but he did like Sam Shields and tried to run, when a simple knee-down would have eliminated the Patriots and moved San Diego, who was the #1 seed that year, to the AFC Title game.
I feel for you, and I like the Chargers still. I don't know what's been wrong with Rivers. I know that losing Sproles has something to do with it. Not 100%, but plenty of %.
Marcus McNeil is not an anchor at LT anymore. He's actually looking crappy. That doesn't help.
Gates is not Gates anymore.
Malcolm Floyd looks hurt.
Pass receivers are crucial. They have to get open. If they don't, it can make any QB look bad.
I wonder if you guys would be a team that would consider adding TO.
I have this feeling in my gut that the Packers are going to shut out the Chargers..........38-0 Packers!! or hold them to FG's only
Sometimes I wonder, if they actually would have won something had they not fired Marty Schottenhiemer, and kept Drew Brees like he wanted. Now Brees has a Super Bowl ring, and all they can do is shake their heads about i, and on top of that, they let Darren Sproles go to the same team that has Drew Brees, that's how stupid the Chargers organizations is! ***** in only 7 games, Sproles has proved he was a missing link in that offense, they are on fire with him! Did they not learn their lesson when Wes Welker went to New England and LD Tomlinson went to the Jets along with Cromartie? No other team in the last 10 years has got rid of such awesome players and it come back to haunt them, especially Brees lol. Oh yeah, and get rid of a team builer like Marty Schottenhiemer and replace him a loser named Norv Turner that sucks.
The Chargers are the winning laughing stock of the league, once you think they are for business, they show you that they really are steps behind.
I'm not sure why you get your jollies by laughing at the ineptitude of a franchise that doesn't even play in your conference. I'm smelling something in your past that is triggering this emotion. Maybe you used to be a "Chargers fan" and decided to jump on the Green Bay bandwagon?
Based on your comments, it sounds like it should be an easy win for Green Bay. Congrats to you sir!
- Go Bolts
If Fouts had a defense SD would be sitting on a couple of Lombardi's right now. Rivers is a QB with great skills but he's too emotional. We are going to see polar oposites on Sunday and Rivers is going to be badly outgunned. I was watching my DVR of the Minnesota Game and I was pointing out to my wife in slow mo what was happening on different plays. There was one where Aroge rolled to his right, and just as he threw the ball I freeze framed. He was sideways, his feet were off the ground and he proceeded to throw a 20 yard perfect spiral bullet pass down the field. I am getting chills just remembering it.Dan Fouts was a better quarterback there if you ask me over Rivers, and Brees was better than him too lol
Junior Seau hands down was the best player for the Chargers in their entire franchise i believe.

We are sooooooooooooooooooooo Damn Lucky. 24th in the draft. Super Bowl MVP, 2011 NFL MVP.
Regarding Marty, I also wonder "what if". Not so much regarding Drew. For him, the Saints were the perfect situation where I just don't think he'd have fared as well in San Diego. Remember, if Marty was still here, the pass was an afterthought. Marty loved to run the ball and he didn't care if the opposition knew it or not, he was going to run. I do think that under Norv Turner, Brees may have been able to grow. This is all "shouda, coulda, woulda", however. Our problems at the RB position, including the exit of Michael Turner and Darren Sproles, could be more the result of the ownership wanting to keep LT. Under Marty, LT would either continue to be successful or he would have ended up in the hospital. No running back could hold up to 33 carries per game indefinitely. Sooner or later, something or someone, would have broke.... most likely that would have been LT. We could not keep two RB's on the roster of that caliber and remain under the cap. Far too many contracts were coming due and not everyone could be resigned. Sproles was a casualty of this too. Two seasons under a franchise tag made him too expensive. I think he honestly wanted to stay here, but his best chances to really be successful were in New Orleans. We barely kept under the cap as it was this season. Everyone thought the correct decisions were made but as we can now see, those decisions are being questioned. There are a lot of things that went on over the past few years and every one of them had an affect on the team. Bringing in Norv is seen by many as the main reason for the decline. There has to be some truth to that, but any time you bring in a new coaching system, there is a period of change. The direction of the team went from smash mouthed, in your face running; to a more balanced run/pass combination. In my opinion, where the team became reckless was that the defense was ignored. Merriman was let go and the draft picks ended up busts. Cromartie could not stay here and had to be let go. He is a good corner, but that's it. He repeatedly whiffed on tackles and seemed to be avoiding contact. If it weren't for Revis, the Jets would already be tiring of Cromartie. The Jets secondary is pretty good, but Cromartie is not the reason for their success. My opinion.
