DEATH TO THE DONKEYS that is all

[brdempsey69]

Thank you and GO CHARGERS.

Big questions are will the Chargers get to play on a level playing field like last time and will they execute as well without shooting themselves in the foot like they did last time?

[matthewschiefs]

The Chargers controlled both their games against Denver this year. The only reason they lost the first match up is they kept shooting themselves in the foot. In the 2nd match up they didn't and they got the win. That's going to be the question. The Chargers give Denver trouble. If the Chargers don't mess it up they should win it's that simple. They will have to deal with some home cooking from the zebras but they just have to fight through it and win. I don't think it will be so bad they can't get the job done but it will be there for sure. Just keep the game close and Manning will give you chances to make some picks. It's what he does

right now it is 43 degrees in Denver (32 wind-chill). The forecast is
A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. Windy, with a west northwest wind 25 to 31 mph, with gusts as high as 44 mph.

I wonder if the weather will have a negative effect on Manning's passing.

Well, we can certainly hope that the wind will carry Manning's passes into the hands of Chargers Defenders.

[brdempsey69]

Not a good start by the Chargers on that first series. They're too predictable on 1st down and they aren't protecting the QB on passing plays. Better get that fixed quickly.

Somebody keep an eye on the Donkeys DB's and see if they are holding the Chargers receivers, as I suspect they are.

[matthewschiefs]

Dokeys d was defently fired up on that 1st drive as expected can they keep that up the whole game

[matthewschiefs]

Should have been a pick Manning gave them a chance they just didn't get it done

[brdempsey69]

I had hoped that SD wouldn't lay a big egg today, but there's still plenty of football left. If nothing else, hit Manning every chance they get.

[brdempsey69]

C'mon SD, hang in there. Don't quit.

[brdempsey69]

Freaking SD is imploding.

[matthewschiefs]

So far the bolts are doing what they did in matchup 1 getting in their own way should have had a pick have to find a way to get a snap off. Not looking good

[brdempsey69]

I'm wondering how the play-clock seems to last forever for Denver's Offense and seems so short for SD, thus far.

TURNOVER for SD. Now cash on it !!

[matthewschiefs]

Have a bad feeling that's going to be overturned and denver will get a 1st down

[Eydugstr]

SD better wake up and smell the coffee. Does their center realize he's not at practice?!?

[brdempsey69]

The announcers ( Kevin Harlan & Dan Fouts ) said that ball was out before Thomas hit the ground.

SWEET !! Replay upheld it.

[matthewschiefs]

This is a HUGE chance for the bolts to get things going their way have to take advantage of it

[brdempsey69]

SD ain't protecting the QB and their play-calling is too predictable.

[brdempsey69]

Ha ha. Denver got called for an illegal pick play. Like they shouldn't have been called for a whole lot more during the season.

[brdempsey69]

It's looking like SD didn't come to play and have already packed it in.

[brdempsey69]

If Denver goes up 21-0, it's over. SD played right into their hands right from the get-go.

[matthewschiefs]

seems the bolts are just happy to be there and Denver wants to WIN not looking good got to count on the Pats to knock them out i guess

[brdempsey69]

Somebody out there obviously wants a Brady-Manning matchup for the AFC Championship and it looks like they will get it. Didn't think it would be SD, but thus far, they are mailing in this game.

Nice job SD, of proving that you didn't belong in the post-season to begin with as everybody was already aware of.

[matthewschiefs]

That is huge if it holds up

[matthewschiefs]

That's a pick they can't overturn that for sure huge play right before the half

[brdempsey69]

Oh wow. The Charger made a pick and stopped them. The game is still withing reach, but SD has got to get it turned around in the 2nd half.

[matthewschiefs]

The chargers played that half like they have already accomplished something Denver played that half playing like they have something to prove. That's the difference of the game. It could be worse for the Chargers but putting yourself in a hole like they have doesn't end well most the time

[MissingTBone]

Looking at next Sundays weather in Denver, high of 55 and sunny. Hope the Pats can get some pressure on manning and run the ball effectively.

[matthewschiefs]

Must score drive here for the Chargers if they get a td this is still a game if they don't it's not

[matthewschiefs]

That's the ball game got to count on Brady

[Eydugstr]

Where's the team that beat the Bengals?

[matthewschiefs]

Got to wonder if all these offsides calls against the bolts will be false starts when the donkeys face the other golden boy

[matthewschiefs]

Well if the bolts d can stand up and make a stop it could get intresting

[brdempsey69]

They run up 41 points on the Chiefs at Arrowhead & then come out today and play like scrubs against a similar caliber Defense. Go figure.

When they were at Arrowhead they were playing for their playoff lives now they have made the playoffs and won a game there's a let down. It's been the difference in the game to me. Denver came out with something to prove the Bolts came out like they have proven something already.

[matthewschiefs]

Bolts have them to 3rd down a stop here and this gets intresting

[Eydugstr]

They run up 41 points on the Chiefs at Arrowhead & then come out today and play like scrubs against a similar caliber Defense. Go figure.

And almost lost to our backups. But then again this is the same outfit that fired a 14-2 head coach and patted itself on the back for being brilliant.

[brdempsey69]

That was a delay of game & the refs didn't call it.

Have to hope we see the same Pats Offense that we saw against Indy yesterday. And Defense, as well.

[Lewis_Chiefs]

That PI call on Welker on 3rd down was BS. The refs aren't giving the Chargers a chance.

[brdempsey69]

I figured as much. They didn't call a delay of game on the Donkeys, either.

[Eydugstr]

Lame. The refs waited until the Chargers were at their weakest, then struck. Everyone's wanting to see a Broncos/Patriots matchup.

[matthewschiefs]

That PI call on Welker on 3rd down was BS. The refs aren't giving the Chargers a chance.

There was also a huge hold on Denvers o line on that play uncalled

saw it through twitter

[brdempsey69]

^^That Donkey LT has been getting away with that all season long. Stupid blind refs.

the NFL wanted Manning v Brady and that's what they got. It will be interesting to see how the refs call next weeks game as both QB's get the benefit of the calls on a regular basis.

[brdempsey69]

Well the Chargers closed the gap. It should be closer, but they got screwed on that last Defensive series.

[matthewschiefs]

That's huge

[brdempsey69]

WOAH !! The Chargers recovered an onside kick. If they can score and somehow get the ball back and kick a FG and send it to overtime.

[matthewschiefs]

A score here is HUGE Manning with the ball under pressure late in a postseason game but have to score to put the pressure on him

[brdempsey69]

Chargers got to score quickly and stop the Donkeys and get the ball back one more time.

[matthewschiefs]

Time for the costly Manning pick

[brdempsey69]

Time for the Donkeys to implode.

[brdempsey69]

Charger blew it on that 3rd and long. You can't give up that play on 3rd down. That's poor Defense.

[brdempsey69]

It's over. The Chargers blew it. They did more to lose this game than the Donkeys did to win it.

[brdempsey69]

Next week the Pats have to get in the game right from the get-go & not wait 3 QTR's like SD did today or the first 2 QTR's like the Pats did the last time they played the Donks.

[MissingTBone]

I honestly think whichever NFC team goes to the SB will beat the AFC representative. The defenses are much better with the 2 NFC teams IMO.
