Philly was my preseason pick for the Super Bowl. I have no idea what is up with them right now... Losing to Oakland is awful though.

Awesome. The difference-maker that probably beat us himself (Odom) for Cincy is down for the year just before they play the Queens and Bears.

LT has the right to be pissed. Bad play calling by San Diego on the first-and-goal series. For starters, the running game has been broken all year, but LT was the guy that had it going on that series. If they want to get their running game going, they need to get him going. A TD there would have helped, and he's the obvious choice that close to the endzone if you want stay on the ground. Sproles is a nice change of pace, but in addition to doing nothing so far this season, he's not even remotely a goal line back. Also, the Chargers have one of the best redzone threats in the NFL in Gates and didn't go to him, either, in favor of a 160 scat back.

Not smart.

Not to take away from what Royal has done, but Chargers' special teams coverage has been pretty terrible. Especially so on that punt.

Denver's D/ST sure was a good pickup. Dumervil is beasting, BTW.

I thought the Broncos would suck offensively. Shows what I know.

Ochocinco would probably be a better option. He could help improve their passing game and their kicking game.

With Jordy banged up, we should probably make a run at TO. :)

Well, this answers my question about why Philly didn't run the ball more against Oakland. I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume there was some other factor, but apparently I'm not the only one who thinks Reid screwed the pooch:
