Patriots at Chargers (-5) (Sunday, 5:15 p.m. PST, NBC)
THE SCENE:
Two years ago, LaDainian Tomlinson thought Bill Belichick wasn’t exactly the classiest individual in San Diego. Last season, Nick Hardwick called Richard Seymour a dirty, cheap, pompous [expletive]. Seymour says Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips will have a “grudge against the Patriots the rest of his career.” And some still say this […]

It looks like the San Diego Chargers have officially found the one thing in the 2008 season they can manage to do with consistency– Underachieve.  Sunday afternoon in Miami, they were at it again, losing to the Dolphins 17-10 in another collective failure that left them 2-3, a full two games behind Denver in the […]

Chargers (-6) at Dolphins (Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
Entering last Sunday’s 4th quarter with only a field goal on the scoreboard and a 12-point deficit doesn’t exactly qualify as being “on a roll,” but the Chargers benefited from a late-game collapse from Oakland and eeked out a 28-18 win. Throw in a Denver loss and the weekly return […]

Four weeks into the NFL season, the San Diego Chargers are 2-2 and something of an enigma, having lost a heartbreaker to Carolina in Week 1, and followed that with a ref-aided defeat in Denver before blowing away the Jets and overcoming a horrible first half to beat the Raiders on Sunday.  Many, including me, […]

On a wild Sunday that saw the unbeaten Broncos lose to the only-beaten Chiefs and a Dallas squad just a week earlier deemed the NFL’s best lose at home to the Skins, at halftime of San Diego’s visit to McAfee Coliseum it looked like the Bolts would join them on Monday’s front page for all […]

Chargers (-7.5) at Raiders (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
Six weeks ago had you said the Raiders and Chargers would meet in Week 4 sharing identical 1-2 records, you would have been called a fool.  An imbecile.  An idiot, even.  The Bolts were seen as Super Bowl contenders, while the Raiders were, well, the Raiders.  […]

After two weeks of funhouse losses to open the 2008 season, the Chargers woke up just in time to prove to a packed house, the international MNF television audience and 31 other NFL teams that they, in fact, are still a contender.  But while the Bolts got the win they needed, they couldn’t help but […]

Jets at Chargers (-3.5) (Monday, 5:30 p.m. PST, ESPN)
GAME TIME:
There was a lot of talk this week from Chargers camp trying to put a happy face on the first two weeks of the season (or to talk themselves off the ledge).  Stop Carolina on one play with the clock winding down in week one, we’re […]

It was not a pleasant week for Chargers fans, personnel or staff.  There was the last second loss at home to Carolina.  Then the announcement that all-everything linebacker Shawne Merriman would miss the entire season because of his lingering knee problems.  Two days later, Pro-Bowlers LaDanian Tomlinson and Antonio Cromartie joined the ranks of San […]

Chargers at Broncos (Even) (Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
The Chargers have experienced seven days that will absolutely, positively not land them on VH1. First, they dropped last Sunday’s game to Carolina on when a fragile quarterback (Jake Delhomme) ripped a pass through two defenders to an unknown tight end (Dante Rosario) for a last second TD. […]
