I will probably tune in during the fourth quarter just to see in what spectacular fashion SD will lose this time.

Having said that, go Chargers!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Siemian is back. Broncos need this W.

I expect the Patriots to be near perfect for the rest of the season. The Broncos cannot afford to let any games slip away. Going to Foxboro in the playoffs is a death sentence for almost any AFC team.

Right now, I think the Steelers are the most formidable threat to the Pats in the conference but their defense to needs to step it up a bit more before I can take them over Brady and co.

It's quite amazing that the Chargers offense continues to look so good. I always said that the Chargers offense could compete with anyone as long as Rivers has time in the pocket. But they have lost their two starting wrs in Allen and Johnson, and their two best pass catching and 2nd and 3rd string RBs in Woodhead and Oliver, and just keep moving down the field.

If not for their spectacular bonehead mistakes at the very end of games, they could be 5-0, but at VERY worst, should be 3-2. They had no business losing at KC or against the Saints. They kind of gave away the Raiders game too with a turnover and terrible punt even before the botched snap at the end..they were up most of the game prior to that.

If they somehow win this game, they still only have two division road losses (division road losses in this division not terrible) and a loss to the Colts on the road (not good, but not terrible). The only really bad loss and they gave away the game was a home game against the Saints.

The last half of their schedule is easy. Not saying they have a chance of going anywhere if they win, but the AFC doesn't seem particularly tough outside of maybe 3 teams, one of which they are beating right now.

Next two games are very tough though.

I'm with ya, I'm amazed at how good our offense looks against what's maybe the 2nd best defense in the entire league. Rivers is magical.

That said, I don't know if a win against Denver would be a good thing for us. McCoy will reportedly be fired if Chargers lose this game and kept if they win.

Just turned over to check on the game after the 1st period of the Stars game.

Those uniforms...

Holy crap!

I know, and I've been wanting to ask people if they would rather win and this season turn around and go on a run like KC did last year or lose and see McCoy get fired.

I cannot pull for them to lose. I told someone I am in a quandary to an extent. My ultimate hope is that they win and someone REALLY turn it around this season and get out of the funk.

If they lose, it's probably too late to do that anyway.

I don't think McCoy is a great coach, but I also don't think all the injuries and turnovers are his fault either. The turnovers a little bit maybe. That's it.

He is too conservative, but outside of that, I don't have nearly as big of problem with him as most.

Bring back good memories? Look bad? I love those Chargers ones, but I actually love all of theirs. I like the newer Denver helmets better.

These are the ones they wore in the 80s I believe. I like their dark blue and powder blue now better, but I do like seeing these old just straight bright blue. They used to wear the blue helmets with these though (and with all uniforms through the 80s and 90s and most of last decade I think).

My main gripe with him is that he's so conservative despite having one of the best QBs in the league. I wouldn't blame him for being conservative if his QB was Alex Smith or something but it's not.

He's also a terrible leader. When things go bad, he doesn't know how to calm things down and still pull through.

Also don't like how he treats the media like crap.

He just doesn't have any qualities that you would want in a coach.

But yea I can't root for them to do bad either. I want the end result to be a loss but I can't root for them to bad in a any individual play, weird lol.

Chargers get a turnover and then go run, run, pass. God I hate McCoy and his conversative playcalling.

Not sure about leader because they said the locker room still believes in him. Don't care about media.

Bosa is really good by the way.

Looking like we are going to lose since we keep kicking field goals. Up by 13. Last time we were up by 13 and I was talking in the game thread, I said we will lose by 1.

Did you hear them say the odds of losing all 4 of those games was 30 million to 1?
