San Diego and Broncos: Here is how it will go down.
First off, I am a San Diego Chargers fan. I live in San Diego. But my support of the team will not blind me to the facts about my team and how the season will unfold. I just know this stuff – It’s like freaking voices in my head. So, here goes:
Our offense is good. Very good. We have tons of weapons and Rivers is amazing for a first year starter. Our offensive line is working and that is the heart of an offense. So we are in pretty good shape there.
Our defense is a mess right now. The pass rush is pathetic without Merriman so QBs have time to pick and choose – which means our newbie safeties are in panic mode and don’t even know who to cover or where to run half the time. And that mean teams will score tons of points on our guys and we can’t do anything about it. It might be fixable later in the season when our linebackers get healthy and the first team deep backs return or our current guys learn their positions.
The D can probably stop the run but that won’t be enough for any team with a passing game.
Denver has a bad azz defense and will first shut down LT and force us to pass on third down too often and thus control the game. Plummer will pick apart our pass defense and have all day to do it. It will be ugly folks. Rivers will have to play catch-up all day after our defense gives up points. He will put up points but not enough.
This team is just like the Dolphins back in the 80s when Marino (quick release like Rivers) had to put up 35 points to friggin tie a game week-after-week.
Pick-em:
Denver Broncos 31
San Diego 17
San Diego will end up a Wild-Card in the playoffs and lose in the first round or second. Denver will be in the playoffs and might do OK depending on who is healthy for them and for their opponents. The voices in my head are not offering much that far into the season.
So there you have it and that is how it’s going to be.

The Charges are fine crystal. They are a pretty team but they crack into a thousand pieces for no good reason. Their melt-downs make Chernoybl look like a lava lamp. We beat up on bottom feeder teams and ran up some numbers so we think we are hot stuff but look at that first half at SinSinaty? 28-7? What the hell was that? Talk about a bi-polar team.
