Official Week 2 Thread (Us Against the World...)

or at least the Chargers.


Nothing good can come from this week. Lose and people will point out how the Pats can

Eh, look at it this way: if the Patriots ever had an an excuse to start playing the "we get no respect" card again...

Especially since Tomlinson is using this story as an excuse to whine like a baby about the Pats again.

jamal williams is flat out amazing. has to be considered for best at his position in the league. all the media talks about is merriman, philips.... but they never mention the gigantic man that eats up 2 blocks on every damn play.

mr. mankins- we praise you as the best young guard in the league. you and mr. light will have your hands full.

i expect to see a lot of quick passes- maybe use that screen pass out of the spread formation we did to the eagles. anything to slow down their rush

wilfork sometimes takes on 3 when the tackles are locked on the ends. jamal williams is good, and maybe better than wilfork, but i give wilfork the edge because of physical package and scheme. if our LBs attacked instead of reacted, wilfork would get more rep. either way, theyre both very good and neither is far from the others level

:( awwww... not funny...


but good luck guys. i hope it turns out to be an exciting game. the pats might have some heavy preassure on them, so lets see how they perform. i expect them to be 100% focused on the game.

LT will have a tough time, but will find a way to make his numbers. rivers is who i think worries me the most.

so again, good luck and may the best team win (the chargers :D )

light actually looked decent last week. Then again the whole o-line looked good. But seeing light being even.... dare i say, dominate, on a couple of plays in that game was amazing enough.

I'm hoping mankins will be able to move jamal williams a bit for the running game. I think we're going to have to run inside more than out in this game. Mankins, koppen and neal have to get good angles on their d-line. I think clock management is going to be crucial in this. I really think its going to be a lower score than most think.

CetlicTruth: i just want to say thank you for the response. i honestly look forward to reading BBJ and your opinions more than any other of the so called experts and writers about football.

both of you guys are flat out excellent, and i thank you both for the contributions.

on that note, i cannot argue much on that note. wilfork, our man, is pretty damn good himself. i would be inclined to give the edge to williams, but as you said, neither is far from the others levels.

i really hope we beat the crap out of LT tommorow. I love him, and he is probably my favorite non patriot player to watch- but he ran his mouth this week and for that, i hope our d punishes him for it. i can't wait to see mr sanders and mr merriweather introduce him to a hard ass hit
