I have been reading conflicting reports about Rivers. The SDUT claims he is still nursing an injury from a illegal helmet to the sternum hit during the NE game. Of course, the Chargers and Norv Turner have not mentioned it. All I keep hearing about is fixing the "interception problem". Hello, it's not a problem Norv, it's a catastrophe. Rivers has thrown 6 interceptions in three games. That is double what his stat typically shows going into week four. Could his injury be the cause? I wonder if it's worse than they are saying because Rivers is a bad ass. He played in two playoff games without a ligament in his knee. No one is as tough. So what's going on Philip?
Gates has an injured foot. Still. He went to see yet another foot specialist yesterday and no news has been leaked as to what the doctor said. Thank goodness McMichael has stepped up to be a our number one TE. To be honest, I didn't know he was on our team last year... ha ha. Oh well, he has my attention now and number 81 is bringing it. This whole thing with Gates foot started with artificial turf. I think it should be banned. All real grass, all the time.

Chiefs at Chargers - Clusterfuck
Typically, my blogs have a pro-Chargers positive vibe. Not today. Today, as their fan, I am also their antagonist. I challenge them to stop sucking. Yesterdays game reminds me of Ronald Regan and his "trickle down" economics. What we are seeing is trickle down coaching. It sucks at the top, so they are dragging the best talent in the NFL down with them.
Lack of discipline, poor clock management, apathy and the worst play calling I have ever seen comes from this group:
Head Coach - Norv not only has the attitude of an anemic sloth, but his play calling is laughable. I could go on and on here about how bad it is and cite examples, but you have all seen it in action. How many times have you screamed out loud when it is 3rd and 17 and he calls in a fucking run play? AAAAH! Here's a hint Norv, on 3rd and 17 you let the QB throw the damn ball!
Special Teams - New guy, Rich Bisaccia. He is for sure a step up from our previous special teams coach, but only a tiny step. I honestly think the ONLY thing they worked on in camp was how not to get your punt blocked. That is the only thing they have done with success, which is not saying a whole hell of a lot. We are averaging 21 yards on returns, with 90% of them starting in the end zone that equals zero in my book. Maybe practice that!
Offensive Line - Hal Hunter. Hal, Hal, Hal. I gotta tell you, I love your wife Tracy. She is funny and pretty and super cool. Some days, knowing I get to chat with her is the only reason I go to the gym. Why don't you let her and I coach the line for a couple games? I do not care if each guy weighs over 300 pounds and could bite my head off with one chomp. I will be in their faces yelling until I turn red if Rivers if touched. Period. Show some passion, get in their faces, threaten to cut their pay if he is sacked, I don't care. The turnstile OL needs to stop!
Wide Receivers - Charlie Joiner. Here I will not complain. He is a great fit and even if he wasn't, the stars in my eyes from memories of watching him play will not allow me to say anything bad.
John Pagano - Tell your boys to look for the damn ball and stop touching people. This is football not a night club and those are not their dates!! Maybe practice intercepting the ball. If you were already practicing that, only Weddle was paying attention. Again, lack of discipline. Also, if you play the prevent defense, you prevent the win. While this seems totally obvious, you still do it. Didn't the NE game where they scored with 9 seconds left before the half teach you anything? Not every team is being lead to laziness by Norv. Knock it off.
Ok, I feel better, we barely squeezed out a win so Chargers are 2-1. This makes us tied for first with the Raiders. Broncos in second and well, the Chiefs are on the list too.
Feel free to call me for coaching advice boys, I'm here all day.

Chargers vs. Chiefs - Preview
The San Diego Chargers' run of AFC West titles ended at four last season as the Kansas City Chiefs went from worst to first. Something that will not be repeated this year.
While the Chargers have some issues they need to resolve in order to recapture division supremacy, those pale in comparison to the problems the Chiefs are facing. I mean, let's face it, there is no side of the ball where they are performing.
San Diego split its two games against Kansas City in 2010. This season I expect us to win both and we will be starting on our turf. (BTW, if you are looking for an impartial preview, it's not here!)
Philip Rivers, who has thrown for 713 yards and four touchdowns, knows what it means to get off to a great start in the division, and he is excited to get to it this week. FF Note: Make sure to start all Chargers this week, esp. Rivers!
The Chargers have a great chance Sunday considering they've not only outscored Kansas City 74-14 in winning the last two meetings at Qualcomm Stadium, but the Chiefs (0-2) also appear to be in a state of disarray. Ok, let's not sugar coat it, the Chiefs are falling apart. Kansas City has been outscored by 79 points (worst differential through two games in franchise history) and has had to put three of its top players on injured reserve with torn ACLs. The only thing that could possible cause a loss is bad coaching (Turkey Neck) and special teams. I am still not sold on the new coach. I am seeing the same lack of discipline as before.
Although things are looking bleak for the Chiefs, coach Todd Haley said he is not ready to give up.
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," he said. (ha ha, it will feel like it on Sunday!)
Matt Cassel, who has not thrown for more than 133 yards total and owns a 50.4 quarterback rating (how is he still their starter? Even Ryan Leaf had a better rating!) is responsible for five turnovers -- including four interceptions. Cassel has also struggled in his last three games against the Chargers, averaging 114.3 yards with three touchdowns and four picks.
Rivers has averaged 295.2 yards and posted a 108.0 passer rating in six games versus Kansas City since 2008 -- five victories... Sunday will make it six.

Week Two - Injury Report - all WR's.
I'm actually a little shocked that the San Diego Chargers injury report only holds three names this week.
Malcolm Floyd is the biggest impact with a groin strain and is questionable for week three. Personally, I say let him sit. We are playing KC after all. Everyone should get a turn getting a TD, so Floyd can rest his junk.
Vincent Brown still has a quad injury, and Crayton is still babying his ankle.
By week four I expect these boys to quit being whiners, get a shot, rub some dirt on it and get out there and make catches.
Other teams in the league are on their third string QB (Denver), losing expensive rookies left and right and even the Colts are getting Peyton a neck transplant.
Chargers are healthy going into week three. Should be a pretty massacre.
