Yes, [the Chargers have] exceeded expectations the last few seasons, but Brees provided a lot of that grit. I think San Diego will compete with Oakland for the division cellar.Yikes. Instead the Chargers are 7-2 heading into Sunday night's game in Denver (6:15 on NBC). Here are some Fun Facts:
San Diego is 4th in the league in offense. (Denver? 19th)
San Diego is 1st in scoring, Denver is 23rd.
San Diego is 8th in defense. Denver ranks 13th.
San Diego is 11th in scoring defense. Ha, losers. Denver is still 1st.
Philip Rivers is third in the league in passer rating. Jake Plummer is not. (He's 28th.)
LaDainian Tomlinson already has 932 yards on the ground, with seven games to play. (Oh, and since I probably won't talk about the 49ers much, mad props to my man who's currently fifth in rushing.)
You get the point. Fine, one more: Rivers has thrown three picks the entire year. Plummer's had two games with three picks.
Anyway, what else needs to be said? I'm much more nervous about this game than I was a few weeks ago. San Diego has the kind of passing attack that can make a mockery of our defense. It's true, though, that the Chargers have done their best work this year against pretty bad defenses.
The Denver offense was showing signs of life, until they played Oakland last week. And then it all fell apart. I still think the Broncos will win Sunday, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

I wish I could be anonymous on this website sometimes, like our friend above.
Cap, I'm not sure if I was wrong, because I'm starting to doubt the whole we're-a-good-defense thing. Dadgummit. That's right, I said it.
We used to run bootlegs every play last year, and that was ridiculous, but haven't we overcompensated by trying to make Plummer a Manning brother this year? Then again, he can't even field a shotgun snap, so I'm not sure we have any options.
i think the broncos will win.
oh wait...
lt... that kid is good. and we've played mediocre all season long. for real. we've marginally beat marginal teams.
and lost to the teams that deserved to beat us.
