NFL Wildcard Saturday

Wild Card Weekend Saturday

Who you got??  Are you ready for some football!
Both should be my favorite type of game, low scoring and defensive battles.
In the NFC the early game, Arizona goes to Carolina to Bank of America Field.
While the evening is a big rivalry division game, a repeat for the third time this season vs. the two, Baltimore flies into Pittsburgs' Heinz Field.


In the NFC, kick off at 1:20 PST #AZvsCAR
The below 500 NFC South winner (7-8-1) Carolina Panthers host
the (11-5) Arizona Cardinals, the line -6 CAR
Head to head Carolina edges over Arizona at 8-5-0
but in the post only one meeting January 10, 2009 where the
Cardinals won in NC 33-13 .

AFC North showdown for Game two, kick off at 5:15 PST #BALvsPIT
More smash mouth football and the two teams who are depict this description
more than any other in this way.
Historically Pittsburg leads head to head over Baltimore 24-17-0, the
line -3 PIT.  41 meetings between the two, 1st meeting September 8th, 1996 Steelers took it 31-17
along with also winning the 3 post meetings in January (2002, 2009 & 2011)

The last meeting Nov 2, 2014 where Steelers annihilated the Ravens
43 -23.  When I think of this match up I always remember words from A player referencing the rivalry so strong that if a car broke down by the other team, and they saw on side of road they would leave them. AFC North comes in big this year with 3 of the 4 teams going to the post. Number 3 seed Steelers hosting the 6th seed Ravens.   Cinncinati goes into Indy to
tomorrow.

Enjoy, as I will as well as there's only so much football left and the best part starts now!

Day of Dead for Chargers

Day of the Dead for Chargers, three division games in 11 days, one in 23, an egg laid, thrown and three losses in a row. It looked as if  November 2nd took the life out of the Chargers, it is Day of the dead, Dia de los Muertos, which is what the Chargers looked like in on Sundays, Fins Up Bolts Down beating 37-0, granting Chargers the largest shut out to date this season and being one of only three teams to have endured it along with the worst loss in franchise history since 1996. Add the last stretch of the season and your searching for any positives to bring to the table.

Adversity, character building, soul searching, ranting fans, total devastation in South Beach placing the Chargers with a rough road ahead to possibly see the post, yes this was a must win game, but it almost looked as if they had ventured a little farther south and ended up in the Bahamas or maybe confused with the time change. Fans even thought that the team  may have been kidnapped and Raiders had dressed as Chargers and to boot, they have another week to sit with it, not just 3 losses, but the exclamation of the embarrassing whopping.   Some even questioning the spirit of the players, the locker room, the coaching at how this could happen after a 5-1 start. Yes at 5-4, San Diego is up in arms and everyone’s got his or her two cents to throw in the pot. One thing is certain the schedule is not looking optimistic, nor has it since the commencing of the season.

Defense thought the bye was THIS week. — Darren Smith (@DSmithShow) November 2, 2014  

Thirteen days without a game followed by 7 in 42 days with the first 2 after the bye are seemingly the most possible wins, come from two potential LA bound teams. Chargers will be hosting the Oakland Raiders then the St Louis Rams. The five that follow are all contingent play off teams @ Baltimore, vs. New England, vs. Denver, @ San Francisco, @ Kansas City and it looks as if the final 2 will also be fighting for their spots. Heavy! Yes, but try not to give up yet, if you’re a Chargers fan. The day of the Dead is to celebrate and give respect to those who have gone on, not to bury them, hang in fans and have faith in your boys!

It was Fins Up, Bolts Down

Quick Ugly hits from Miami, none if you’re a Dolphin, they were able to do just about anything they wanted on the field.

2:00 left in the half #17 vs. #17 and down 17-0, Chargers were unable to defend either line, no pass protection and no run, not when your lineman are on your side of the scrimmage. The second half went from bad to worse and delivered the worst loss in almost 20 years, comical tweets kept it light,

The #Chargers are getting no pressure on the QB, but at least they're missing tackles… #SDvsMIA — Eric Stangel (@EricStangel) November 2, 2014

while others nailed them.

Mike McCoy needs to lose his mind at halftime. This is as bad as his team has played. Completely unacceptable, no matter how many injuries.
— UTKevinAcee (@UTKevinAcee) November 2, 2014

At the half, there was some silver lining, it could have been 35-0 Dolphins rather than 20-0, in part due by the help of Luiget getting a hand on a ball and breaking up a play, which held Dolphins to 3, vs. 7.

Seyi Ajirotutu been center of two post-play scrums today. Only sight of fight from Chargers so far. — Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) November 2, 2014

First game in all Phillip Rivers career that he left the field not scoring, that includes his College days as well, he had 3 INT’s and one fumble, It even appeared the Brett Grimes had been acquired by the Chargers in a trade. Rough loss on all counts, McCoy’s post interview on Xtra Sports was the most emotion filled and broken McCoy I’ve ever heard, essentially stating the truths, poor in all three phases of the game, loosing at the line on both sides of the ball. One more note, Rivers was pulled after a slight injury to his hand but, it was reported pulled because the game was out of hand. One more bad bit of news, Gates hurt his ankle, we will have to wait to see how severely, however, sending PMA to the most amazing TE ever.  Chargers Defense worst in the NFL in the red zone, and added to that record unfortunately to secure the spot.

A visual without execution is a hallucination.

The leaders of the team will need to right the ship, while the players and coaches will need to find solutions and fans will need to be patient in this long stretch. Injuries have been the Achilles heel but I think that with all injuries if you continue to win it provides positive energy however compile that with losses and I think a deadly combo, this team has character, fight and passion although somehow amiss on Sunday, they will find a way but, even if they do, it maybe too late, but remember any given Sunday. Alas, I’ll leave you with a lil bit of hope from the amazing Bobby Rubio.      

Yes, it was a tough loss, but IT'S NOT OVER! TIME TO RECHARGE! #BoltUp@Chargers & #ChargersNation#ForTheRealFanspic.twitter.com/01EOEtJwUv — Bobby Rubio (@Bobby_Rubio) November 3, 2014

Till next week!

Chargers Division Triple

Chargers division triple kicked off!  AFC West journey commenced and is in transit, coming all within 10 days, three games and facing the entire division. One down two to go as Sunday they host a dangerous Andy Reid Chiefs team and venture to Mile High to encounter the Broncos on #TNF the ill fated #ThursdayNightBlowout have just changed directions and become some great match-ups as of late, but their loud just ask Philip Rivers. Familiarity scattered with both the next two opponents, as Chargers kicked off the trio of games with a big W in the Black Hole and are ranked number one by Pro Football Talk. A fair warning on my weekly, I have been struggling with a sinus cold or allergies, hence I’m off my game, just wanted to give you a heads up and also myself some lenience, I may not be smooth.

 #SDvsOAK

Raiders Week commenced with an egging on the team bus, but egg was on the face of the Raiders after the Chargers left with a 31-28 W, even a TV establisher of Alcatraz seemed perfectly appropriate. Big Win, any division game is a big win, this no different, the 0 and now 5 Raiders, played with a new found passion, led by Tony Sparano, the burial did work and had it not been for many dropped passes, I believe 5, the outcome could have been different. They broke Chargers 6 quarter scoring streak. If I was a Raiders fan I would be bummed, but happy that there seems to be something new brewing in that locker room.
Rivers breaking records all over, Rivers to Royal with his 5^th TD of the year, Rivers to Floyd made it 14-7 and puts Malcolm as the leading receiver in the league, Rivers to Gates even tipped has a dynamite ring to it and run Brandon run, he did just that with over 100 yards a TD and into Pepsi Rookie of the Week, he did some heavy lifting.   Nick Novak could of broken John Carneys 29 consecutive Field Goals record, had it not been for the holding call on Ladraius Green on his 54 yarder, but he ties Carney at 29 now with a 30 yard FG in the fourth. Jason Verrett with the icing on the cake in his hometown with an INT and puts the Chargers at 5-1. But alas, more injuries Brandon Flowers and Eddie Royal did not finish the game.

#KCvsSD

This always scares me as I remember the first game I was credentialed to shoot games was vs. KC in 2007, I was flabbergasted by fans booing at the team, while I was on the field, this was a different era of Chiefs with Tony Gonzales and LJ in red while the Chargers were led by a Norv and AJ run team, although many similar faces, two big changes are the coaches. Andy Reid is almost perfect after the bye week, 13-2 and that’s what KC is coming off of, while San Diego beat the Chiefs last four meetings, the last two 2 key corners were out @ KC (41-38) and @ SD (24-21 OT) they were resting the team, both games 3 points. Rivers invited fans to come on out to the Q also had a pretty comical but super gracious interview on TNF at the half, from his home, however the sound was so blaring that it was impossible to catch at best every fourth word, he handled it like a true gentleman though.  Helix highlander and Silver Pig skin winner Alex Smith will be at the helm to lead his Chiefs team at the Q, this team may be   2-3 but they beat up a pretty good team in Foxborough on MNF, lets just say their opponents have been good not winless as the two last Chargers opponents have been.

QUESTIONEABLE (for Sunday)
Flowers, Freeney, Verrett and Law.
DOUBTFUL: Attaochu
OUT:   Te’o, Matthews and Brown
PROBABLE: Fluker, Ohrnberger, Royal, Walker and Wright

Scary game but I think if Chargers can continue to use the ingredients they can continue to win, its just might be a nail biter. But this is a family I say it every week, everyone steps in for the common good of the team. It has been a source of power of motivation of inspiration and yet it's always just that, a team, and a family, which infiltrates into the community. They'll also be in their powder blues!

Then small breath and off to Tom Tellesco and Mike McCoy’s old homes, Mile High and facing Peyton and most likely he will have broken Brett Farves record.
Hold on! it's going to be a great week!
I'm out!  hitting the couch, tea, chicken soup and football, so I can get over this thing!

Jets Run to Chargers

Chargers take their thirds, in the W column taking down the Jaguars, 33-14, third consecutive win and at the Q, as they host their third home game Sunday at 3-1 vs. the 1-3 NY Jets. Thirds are also in, as injuries compile in San Diego, pink and awareness brought to not just the field, but to the community, a broadcast appearance nationwide and even the third AFC Player of the Week awarded along with one more for the month, a theme of trios for the Bolts.

Pink scattered all over as you all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month everywhere including fields all over football stadiums in the NFL, college and high school, players are clad in pink cleats, bands, gloves, its safe to say that pink is in abundance. However in San Diego, the Chargers have taken it one step further for the second year at the Q and quadrupled their efforts on a one of a kind event joining forces with Susan G. Komen giving free mammograms and breast exams to all in attendance that would be 700. Big props filled with applause to the Chargers Organization on going above and beyond with such an amazing event.

“Look at the pink house the Chargers built here today for the women of San Diego,” said Susan G. Komen Executive Director Laura Farmer Sherman.  “We expect 1,000 women will show up here today to get a free mammogram.  If anything is found on that mammogram, the Chargers and Susan G. Komen will step in to pay for everything that that women need.  (From) biopsies, MRI’s, ultrasounds, surgery, meal delivery if she has chemotherapy and free chemotherapy; everything that she needs.  That’s the power of pink.  The Chargers are the only NFL team taking the pink off the field and into action right here in our community.”

 #JAXvsSD

Chargers kept the Jaguars winless and took their third win, Phillip Rivers unbelievably good once again (29/39 with 377 yards and 3 TDS) along with his 24th consecutive game with a TD and with having two receivers with over 100 yards. Huge deserving congrats to AFC Player of the Month, Phillip Rivers! The fantasy combo of the week, once again, was Rivers to Royal for 2 TD’s, 5 for 105 yards. Malcolm Floyd with 1 TD, Keenan Allen had personal best with 10 receptions for 135 yards and made appearances on NFL Turning Point along with NFL Total Access this week.

— San Diego Chargers (@Chargers) October 2, 2014

Defense shined with three turnovers, two INTs, Eric Weddle and Brandon Flowers' crazy catch. Jarret Johnson popped a ball out and Donald Butler recovered. Defense had 75 total tackles, 3 sacks, 5 QB hits and 7 tackles for a loss with 3 pass deflections. Both Kendall Reyes and Corey Liuget were gracious in welcoming rookie QB Blake Bortles to the NFL. While were doing introductions, I have to share one of my new favorite illustrators, Bobby Rubio, not only a Pixar artist he’s a Chargers reared fan.

That’s three weeks in a row a Chargers player has been honored as the AFC Player of the Week, this week its Special Teams, congratulations to Nick Novak who kicked his heart out Sunday with 5 field goals (33’, 34’, 23’ and a 37’) plus 3 PATS, that’s 15 points of the 33 scored. Also, became the franchise's all time leader in field goal percentage!

Redzone, Run and Injury Plagued 

The Achilles heel and fortunately there are no players with that injury however there are more than a practice squad of players on the injury report. The Cons unfortunately still the run with a total of 42 yards and keeping Rivers at the number 3 rusher for the team.  The continued inability to run will keep you from winning games, Period!!! The run to keep defenses honest doesn’t work unless you can, few more issues, with a third center in four weeks, to be expected, but at least 4 false starts in the exchange, fumbled snap most likely on Rivers.  Zero for four in the red zone and missed points on a turnover, but low and behold the Chargers keep winning!

Tom Tellesco, GM on the run and getting Mathews back. "The good thing is the offense as a whole is playing very very well, were moving the ball, were converting on 3rd downs and were averaging over 25 points a game, so those are the good things. It's week 4 going into week 5 and we still got a lot of things to work on and the run games one of them, but we need to get this thing clicking before Ryan gets back and when Ryan gets back we'll be even better at that point."

Hosting the New York Jets will be a hot one as the heat wave continues in San Diego along with an angry wounded animal, lead by Rex Ryan coming in to the Q possessing the second rushing team in the NFL, with 151 yards a game average. The two headed running Jets beasts, Chris Johnson (41 carries for 167 yards, 1 TD) and Chris Ivory (50 carries for 274 yards and 2 TD’s). Coming it at number 3 is QB, Geno Smith with 88 yards, Rivers has some company, and Smith also comes in with 5 INTs overshadowing his 4 passing TD’s. And hence one more issue for the Chargers to prepare for the QB controversy going on in New York, Geno or will it be Vick or will it be both?

Last three meetings, Jets with three edge over the Chargers by one and run again, yes Jets are 2nd in the league while Chargers are 2nd to the worst at 31st, NY defense 2nd to SD’s 9th, Chargers passing is 5th in the league, led by no other than the AFC Player of the Month.

Chargers Leaders

Passing:  Rivers - 96-137, 1155 yds, 9 tds

Rushing:  Brown - 50 car, 100 yds, 0 tds

Receiving:  Allen - 22 rec, 244 yds, 0 tds

With all the defects mentioned, I still think the Chargers find a way to win, as I have expressed, so much family so much team in and out of the locker room, there is truly something magical going on, even with injuries, players and coaches are rallying together with talent, passion, love and respect.   I'll finish with a pretty cool package done by Fox 5 on a 98-year-old Charger's fan who has only missed four home games since 1961.

96-year-old @Chargers fan has been to almost every home game since 1961 http://t.co/1UadHvqaGs
— Fox 5 San Diego (@fox5sandiego) October 3, 2014

If your headed to the game, stay cool, should be another hot one at the Q!  Dynamite week wishes!  I’m out!

Chargers Hot and Off to Buffalo

America's finest city is still buzzing after taking down the World Champs on an extremely hot, white and humid San Diego day at the Q, Chargers travel just under 5 hours with a 3 hour time difference to an unbeaten Bills team, a new baby born game day and an AFC weekly player crowned. Yes, despite all the predictions Bolts played keep a way from the Hawks and took 42 minutes of the game to a victory at the Q, where the temperature on the field reached 120, not to mention the humidity, which seemed to just invigorate the Bolts. Historically these seem to be the games the Chargers win, the ones, no one thinks they can.  By the way, at what temperature does a game become too dangerous to play in? Anyone?

Those are #Seahawks coaches holding tables up to make sun shades. Still think heat's not a factor? #Chargers #NBC7 pic.twitter.com/sqilNN6Zpp — Derek Togerson (@DerekNBCSD) September 14, 2014

After a rough start with the #MNF opener in AZ, a sea of white-hot Chargers fans welcomed Seattle with the team on the field winning all phases of the ball Sunday, even with out some key players, with Hardwick out for the season, Flowers hamstring and Jarred Johnson wife going into labor in the wee hours on Sunday, Bolts didn't miss a beat! Congratulations to Anna and Jarred Johnson on the birth of their second daughter Grace Anne. Quick notes on the game, a few missed flags, missed calls however, Chargers beat down while keeping possession 42 minutes 13 seconds,  along with 75 plays over Seattle's 30, it was hot and a Chargers white out at the Q. Rivers to Gates repeated not once, not twice, but three times in the end zone, the last one a phenomenal one handed catch clad by 2 Hawks, 7 receptions for 97 yards and 3 TD's.   Granting Antonio Gates with the AFC player of the week, #Rivers2Gates has a nice sound to it, especially if you’re a Bolts fan.  Chargers dominate Seahawks 30-21 and will fly northeast with a 1-1 record.

Phillip Rivers to Antonio Gates is 1 of the best combinations ever. #Truth — DeionSanders (@DeionSanders) September 14, 2014

Antonio Gates has 90 career TD catches. Passes Andre Reed (89), Larry Fitzgerald (89) and Don Maynard (88) for 11th all-time. — Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) September 15, 2014

8 plays was the longest drive the Hawks had, this is a double edge sword in some ways though, amidst the heat where all wanting a turbin, Chargers defense were unable to stop Turbin. However, they controlled the ball for 42 minutes vs. one of the best defenses, Richard Sherman was an obsolete issue. Rivers was awing, taking hits and scrambling making plays happen all day, while tearing apart the Seattle defense, all the while rocking a 61 on his helmet for long time buddy and center, Nick Hardwick. He ran and threw over them, was 28/37 for 284 yards and one TD.

Harrison Wilson III was a rookie @Chargers WR in 1980. His son plays QB for the Seahawks. [http://t.co/kna0Gsrs7V] pic.twitter.com/iK4gjhNuFU — Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) September 12, 2014

  A few glitches, 3 times inside the redzone, chargers had holding calls, Ryan Matthews two fumbles that were recovered by the blue and gold, but brought upon one more injury, MCL along with more of the same issues, loosing the ball.  Actually in the stats he wasn't given credit for both?  I have had my doubts about his health and loose hands, but I don't with Donald Brown and Danny Woodhead.  That being said, one glaring statistic is the 3rd rusher on the team is Phillip Rivers, not known for his speed either.  With a total of 101 rushing yards a Sunday, 17 of those belong to Phillip.  Rivers locker room post victory, referring to all the media hating on Sunday Morning Countdown, always saying the Chargers aint got a chance, he finished with,

"We always got a chance!! Always gotta chance!!

Chargers on three!

CHHHHHAAAAARRRGERS!!!!"

#SDvsBUF

Off to Buffalo, seen as one of the big surprises around the league, the Bills seem to have some magic going on. After a torrent of issues in the off season; the loss of Ralph C. Wilson, who founded them in 1959 (not just a loss for Buffalo but for the entire league), the diagnosis of all time great HOF Jim Kelly, the threat of the Bills being moved by interested buyer Bon Jovi to Toronto and even into the pre-season with doubts for the first string QB, EJ Manual. Buffalo has a new or a re-found enchantment which is filled with tradition, pride and an undefeated record. Jim Kelly announced he was cancer free, local billionaire Terry Pegula and family purchased the Bills along with keeping the team in Buffalo, Andre Reed inducted in the HOF and EJ Manuel finding his rhythm, (after some pre-season panicking and after picking up Kyle Orton for $5M), last week he showed everyone 32/48 for 375 yards, one INT and a rating of 95.4.  Add 2 phenom backs, Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller, who also had a 102 kick return in their 29-10 pummeling of Miami. Oh and don't forget their number one draft pick, Sammy Watkins, who did participate in practice Thursday and former Trojan, Robert Woods (did not participate Thursday). Defense was plus 4 on turnovers as well, remember they also beat the Bears in Chicago, who just went to SF and beat the Niners. This will be a dangerously passionate game.  Chargers will need to be able to run the ball and stop the run, two things they have struggled with, (ranked 27rd in the league for the run at 76.5 yards). Working as a team, a family on the field has not been one of their issues, but a blessing, as they have a family in the realest sense. Kick off is at 1:00 PM EST, or 10:00 AM for PST, it's a morning game for Chargers.  

Statistically speaking

Head to head last 2 of 3 have gone to the Chargers;  

12/11/11        SD 37 BUF10

10/19 08         SD 14 BUF 23

12/3/06           SD 24 BUF 21

OFFENSE

SD 19^th          BUF 17^th       

DEF

SD 18^th          BUF 21^st                   

PASSING

SD 8^th             BUF 26^th    

RUSHING

SD 27^th         BUF 7^th         

Note worthy on the Injury report as of Thursday, Flowers,  Freeney, Luiget and Davis;  FP, full participation.  However; Ohrnberger, back (who is in for Hardwick), Attaochu (hamstring) , Troutman (back), Ingram (hamstring) and of course Matthews (knee) DNP = did not participate in practice.  Chargers OC, Frank Reich very familiar with Ralph C. Wilson Field, as still the longest back up tenure to Jim Kelly, let me refresh your memory, 1998,coined "the comeback" Kelly suffered a strained ligament in his knee. Reich finished and led the upset, then taking them to the AFC Championship game vs. Miami.

One more bit of specialness, Junior Seau was nominated to the Hall of Fame, earlier this week.

Dynamite game wishes to the Chargers, should be a good one!! Sending dynamite football week wishes to you all!

 Cheers, till next week!
