This team currently has the #1 Offense and the #1 Defense in the league.

But they have won only 2 of 6 games!

I can see one bad game but 4 losses if they are that good?

Will the real San Diego Chargers please stand up?

Anyone who's been following this team know why they are losing?

As I wrote in another thread:

Two reasons for that statistical anomaly:

1) Norv

2) Turner

One of the freakiest stats ever, I agree. But what it comes down to is that they dominate in yardage more than points, especially on defense. (#21 scoring defense.)

Here's a team stat to ponder on the other side: The Patriots have scored easily the most points per game of any team in the league, despite facing 2 of the top 4 scoring defenses already. (5 non-offensive TDs obviously helps!)

Ohhhh man did I misread that title. yuuccchhh.

Thought it was about Merriman trying to purge his system from steroids before a test.

After seeing Fermat's Room, I'll never think of the word enigma the same. But yes, I agree. I look forward to Brandon Tate scoring and Pat Chung blocking a punt or 3

Offense
YPG: 432.7 (1st)
Passing: 316.2 (1st)

Defense
YPG: 255.2 (1st)
Passing: 163.7 (!st)

Pretty crazy for a 2-4 team, by the far the biggest underachievers in the NFL, even more so than the Cowboys.

The weakest set of corners of any of the top teams will be playing the #1 passing offense in the league next week.

That's what you get when Norv Turner is your coach, good team, crappy record.

people who think this game is going to be a walk are insane.

they've been a horrible road team but they're averaging wins by 28 points at home. couple that with the well documented problems with the patriots on the road (no special teams explosion in Miami and that's a different game).

it's probably good that Gates will be out for that game, but I think the Pats could lose big in this one if they're not careful. With the Steelers, Vikings, and Indy coming up in the four games after next weekend, a road win will be somewhat big. The Chargers always gun for beating the Pats, and after losing to StL they're going to be on fire, I think.

Pats are going to have to score points to win this one. on the order of 28 I think.
