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 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!
