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.

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,


while others nailed them.
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.

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.      
Till next week!

Chargers Broncos AFC West Battle


AFC West Triple coming to a head in Denver tonight for Chargers, throwback Thursdays, records broken, horses with 509, keep a way and all to see who will grab first place in the AFC West, with a few memories looming and on a beautiful night in Denver, kickoff at 5:25PM PST.

Peyton took the record from Brett Farve on Sunday with 509 and then to 510, Phillip Rivers was the first NFL QB to go 5 straight games with a passer rating of 120 as well. 

Chargers come in with a rough loss at home vs. KC, and endure a triple of division games all in a span of 11 days, tonight the biggest one.  With Chargers coming in with everyone picking the Broncos, actually historically this team does well on these notes.

Last year they came in as underdogs as well, do you remember the Phillip Rivers to Keenan Allen hurdle TD!  That followed with an excited QB on set with NFL Networks crew sharing his excitement like a pop warner player, his true Alabama self and somehow still innocent and all the love for the game came out and shined bright, with bolo ties and snake skin boots.  The last time these two met was close as well, and an advertisement for Omaha Steaks as that was the word Peyton was stuck on, ending not favorably for the Chargers.

Keep Away, Just as the Broncos players did with Peyton and his 509 game ball, that’s what the Chargers need to do tonight.  Time of possession and sustain drives, productivity, the ingredients which they have won with.  Defense will need to limit receivers, disguise schemes as they play chess with Peyton on the line.  Freeney will be hopefully greeting his former teammate on the ground, while the Chargers line will need to keep Von Miller and Demarcus Ware at bay and away from Phillip.  Contain the run as well as former Aztec Ronnie Hillman as he is getting his groove with 2 TD’s last week vs. SF.  Along with continuing to run the ball themselves and of course #Rivers2Gates always has a great ring with results, how bout that tipped TD catch! 
Bolts continue to be ailing espescially with a short week and a must win division game but keep in mind secondary players will be the same as they were in the last TNF game and that ended with a win, Shaureece Wright and Brandon Marshall will mostly be the corners.

Injury update:  OUT: Flowers, Te’o, Matthews,  and Brown
Doubtful: Attochu
Questionable: Verrett, Williams

 Broncos are pretty much running on all cylinders, with only Montee Bal and Omar Bolden out with Steven Johnson questionable

After the loss on Sunday, immediate panic for fans myself included, that the game would be coming at the worst possible time, however after sleeping on it, this may have been a blessing, plus everyone even dogs are picking the Denver. These are the games the  Chargers rise to and with that I’ll leave you with yet one more Bobby Rubio illustration.

I think they come out with a W and surprise this dynamic team in all faces at their home.
I know, I’m crazy, but they somehow match up well against Peyton.

Dynamite game wishes boys!

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 5th 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.
KC vs SD photo ©desireeastorga
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.
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.




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

Chargers to Kick Off on MNF



Final cuts, flip-flops and a Monday Night Football opener, just a few things going on in San Diego this week.  Same team different state, Bolts fly to Phoenix for the NFL 2014 Monday Night Football opener. Yes, they just hosted the Cardinals August 28th, edging over them in the final fourth pre season game 12-9, Chargers, but it was the battle of the two's, three's and four's to make the squad, so let's start with who made the cut to the 53 man roster ,  for a keener look here's the depth chart.  Congrats to undrafted free agent from University of Buffallo, Brandon Oliver, yes number 43, taking a spot after impressing all.

700 plus players released collectively all over the league on Saturday, 300 will get work on practice squads or have already, which will be a revolving door for the first 3 weeks.  Chargers practice squad announced, with three little pops actually four, one sixth round pick, Marion Grice had a crazy 48 hours, made the roster Saturday, was released and then signed to the practice squad Tuesday. Two, newly released Cardinal and former Aztec, Ryan Lindley was signed to the practice squad, with heaps of media questioning the match up just ahead.
Coach McCoy was adamant in interviews indicating that there is no connection,"We didn't make the choice because we're playing AZ, you can highlight it, bold it or underline it!"
Third, shortly after being released former Chargers and Stanford, Thomas Keiser joins a new Cardinal in Phoenix.  Fourth, Chargers 2011 3rd round draft pick Vincent Brown was released, however it is side noted, per www.Chargers.com,  It is important to note that Vincent Brown was waived-injured, and should he clear waivers will be placed on the reserve-injured list.
Tom Tellesco on Darren Smith Show on Wednesday spoke on difficulty in picking the WR's
"Tough decision and we have a lot of respect for Vincent and how he played for us……."                                                         When asked was it more about what Inman and Tutu did or what Vincent didn't do, he replied, "More about what the two (Inman and Ajiritutu) did…."

MNF

#FBF #FLASHBACKFRIDAY I can't not but think of Michaels and Madden, which sadly is no longer the MNF I grew to love!
AlMichaels&JohnMadden
#FBF #MNF Madden & Michaels
Granted I think Cris Collingsworth has done an amazing job, but that moved to Sundays. Still Monday Night Football sets the stage for the entire world, the only game going on, hence all the attention as ESPN's crew Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and Lisa Salters hold it down with an entire studio slew of former player, commentators Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson, Steve Young, Trent Dilfer and Ray Lewis.  If your a Chargers player or fan, this ideally will be the first stadium of the season and the last one, as University of Phoenix is the home for Super Bowl 49.  Chargers hold the all-time record over the Cards 9-3, however Arizona comes in as the 3 point favorite for Monday.
Familiarity from week to week with also former Chargers and Jet, Antonio Cromartie and one of the best run stops in the NFL last season.  Chargers secondary will need to watch out for Cardinals 2nd pick in the 3rd round, WR John Brown, Pittsburg State, At the 2014 NFL Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.34 seconds, which ranked as the third-fastest time of any player at the event.
 “With this long and then playing Monday night, that’s always the challenge as coaches (to) just keep it simple and stay to the basics,” Frank Reich said.  “We’ve been waiting for this game for a long time.  So I think we’re pretty honed in.  I think we’ve been narrowly focused and have had a good idea all along how we wanted to attack.  We’ve really tried to get the plan in place early so we could focus on fundamentals, technique and just playing good football.   Play good sound football, run your basic stuff and win your one-on-one matchups. At the end of the day that’s what it comes down to.”
Few key odds and ends, first this is a must win for the San Diego Chargers, they have a history of starting slow with games and struggling early in the season, however they finish strong with a force when they become the underdogs.  Phillip Rivers last year stats in the redzone, 22 TD's 1 INT, the run, 8 redzone TD's, 5 of those Ryan Matthews with a 2.5 yrd per carry average.  New face to San Diego, Donald Brown with an average of 4 yards per carry in the redzone. This could mean nothing or could be a deciphering factor on who the number one back will be, as Matthews has a history of losing the ball, just as he did in the opening pre season game on the goal line, while Brown has not fumbled since 2009.  This, once again, is a must WIN for the Bolts kickoff at 7:20 PM PST, as they need a quick start out of the gate and will turn around and host the SB48 Champs, The Seattle Seahawks 6 nights later for their home opener, a #SNF  WHITE OUT!

Injury Report as of Friday

Good news full participation for Nick Hardwick and Keenan Allen.

Huge congratulations to the 37th member of the Charger HOF DE,  Leslie O'Neal!!
It's safe to say that San Diego is ready for some FOOTBALL and possibly Tostitos, too!

SD MAKING ROOM BY MAKING MOVES

TWO MOVES IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS

San Diego making room by making moves.
Two vets released, 12.1M under cap with one rumored, Antonio Garay, to be released later today,
if correct, will bring The Chargers 17.1 M under the cap.

A lot of spending power with the free agency kick off on Tuesday, March 12th at 4PM ET.

Yesterday,  Takeo Spikes

Earlier today, Atari Bigby

Two huge huge impact players and that's not including their captain like influences in that locker room.  They will be missed, and that's not to discredit the moves or judgement of Tom Tellesco or Mike McCoy, just sad to see them leave.  Great people, team mates and players are always missed.

Sending all the best to all these players.

Excited to see which directions they will go, well find out Tuesday lots of bustling ahead, then the Draft.

CHARGERS MOVING THE CHAINS

 NEW CHARGER ERA

Buzzing all week, or at least the last few weeks, with the changing of the guards.  
The firing of Norv and AJ,
A Wildcard weekend, 
straight to a new GM 
Tom Tellesco 

Divisional Rounds, another intermission and 
yesterday after flying out Broncos Offensive Coordinator Monday and meetings with many candidates, leaving Bruce Arians scheduled for Wednesday to go to the wayside.

Chargers introduced new HC Mike McCoy.
                                              Photo credit:  Chargers

After picking him up in the jet, they wouldn't let him leave and I know why now!

All I can say is that at 2:00 I was glued to the radio to hear the press.
Wow was I awed, excited and heart warmed.  
Family!! ( Love it!! and if your not familiar with the employees of this organization, people stay, it is a family, not just owned by a family.  Which to me is the best barometer of any business, people that stay!)   
I got buzzed listening to and marveled in rehashing it all in my brain, all the details......food, round pegs in round holes, hope, passion, it didn't sound like the typical versed press conferences it was too true to be versed.  The mentioning of his roller of books and notes, prep......I'm still amping on it!
Big big smiles..............

If you haven't had a chance to listen to the entire press conference, its on Chargers.com 

Definitely worth a listen, you've heard bits and pieces that were highlighted, but do your self a favor and take a listen.

Congratulations to the Chargers!!

Welcome to San Diego
Tom Tellesco and Mike McCoy

Do we have a new trend with same initials in the future??
I KNOW THEIRS HOPE!

#MNF CHARGERS VS BRONCOS

IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THE CHARGERS WILL HOST THE PEYTON MANNING DENVER BRONCOS.

Peyton has stayed true to his species, from a Colt to a Bronco.

Chargers just edge over the Broncos in the 22 last meetings with 12 wins.

Variables or one specific to recon with is the missing link, Jared Gaither will not play.

Un drafted Bruin, Mike Harris will take command, now with a few games under his belt.
However not only the blindside is effected as the running game takes a toll too.

Running lanes, created by who??

San Diego has the NFL's 5th-ranked rush defense allowing an average of 74.0 yards
McGahee is only back to exceed 100 yards rushing in the last dozen games vs the Chargers.

Denver's defense has allowed an average of 120 yards a game, but can they make the lanes?

It is Monday Night Football however, and no matter what the Chargers seem to rise to the occassion along with matching up well with the former Colt leader, the pieces are different in Denver but Manning has something special to be reconned with.  Look for Shaun Phillips to have a big night and looking to see Atari Bigby and Eric Weddle to have a pick or two!

This is sound from last year, but MNF is MNF! Always exciting!
http://soundcloud.com/thedesireeshow/charger-players-on-mnf-the

And the Chargers have a bye week just following tonight, thus you need to stick a win, to relish it for the week off, plus this is a Division Game!!
A SHOT AT THE BRAGGING RIGHTS AND MOMENTUM FOR THE BYE WEEK.

Half time SD local and NFL analyst Phil Michelson will attempting a shot (per PGA 14%) attempts on  for a million dollar charity contribution. Already giving the ESPN team some stats and his opinions only as a CHARGER fan can do.

BIG Game!  Lots although early in the season, lots on the line.

PS  Parking lots is full, closed and smoking with tailgating aroma's
