How many of you are taking JAX over SD?

[DFWChargerFan]

I'm going to go out on a limb and pick the Chargers. Our D and Special Teams are starting to turn things around. The O is at rock bottom, and they know it. Look for this week to be the week Rivers turns things around. If not, I suspect our season is likely over.

The Broncos, Chiefs and Raiders will all lose this weekend too. Your season is likely safe until the wild card round because the AFC west is awful this year.

If SD's offense gets untracked I think we win the game handily. We should have routed the Colts last week and we would have if we had half an offense. Jax is not a huge threat on O and I think SD's D can keep them in the game. It's all about PR and whether he can get it together.

All he has to do is not turn the ball over and I think SD wins.

Agreed. However, if Rivers can't get out of his slump, the playoffs are a moot point even though we will likely win the debacle known as the AFC West.

OK Bolts fans, what evidence do you have that SD's O will get untracked as you both assert (posts #21 & #23)? The coaching has been so poor that the same players producing an elite running attack have tanked. What changes next week? And your QB demonstably evidences that he's lost confidence in himself. What will be different this week? And the players have let that insidious doubt about the coaching staff's ability enter their minds. What's happening this very week in game prep that will fix that?

The answer is nothing, or way too little. Bolts are short-circuited.

Pfft. I have zero evidence. I'm just hoping for the best. I'm hoping that at some point our talented offense gets tired of playing for s h i t. <shrug>

I can't disagree with you. Don't have any evidence, only a cautious optimism. The way I see it, things can't get any worse - they are already at rock bottom. Rivers and Norv are being blasted by our fans and the media in a big way. They must know that something needs to change or it could mean their jobs. I'm HOPING this will be incentive enough for Norv to make some changes with his play calling, and for Rivers to remove his head from his arse.

One can hope, can't they?

Apologies Bolts fans, as I came across too harshly in my query. Before LT got on his classy rant the Chargers & Bills were my favorite non-Patriots teams. I loved SD schooling NY on the Manning trade. I actually think it's tragic what's happened this year with the coaching staff. Best wishes even though I think JAX wins Sunday.

Believe me, your post was not harsh PWP. You only state what everyone else is thinking. If you want to see some harsh posts, take a look at our own forums!!

BTW, I must admit I have a bit of a soft spot for the Pats. Seau and Harrison (ex-Bolts) are still two of my favorite players of all time, and if the Chargers don't make the playoffs or lose in the first round (which is likely), I will be pulling for the Pats. Would be nice to see those guys play in a Championship and win - I think they deserve it.

I think Shanahan can somehow wins the west. They have an easy schedule the rest of the way. And for Norv to go 4-3 from here wouldn't surprise me. So, yes, Jax wins and the AFC West is tied.

Having Norv as HC, nothing would surprise me either.

I was looking at this game long and hard also,its a home game for the Jags(I think..)if so thats obviously a factor with the travel,etc.,and the Jags ground game which they will stick with no matter what....Gerrard is back....and I hate to say it but the Colts do have some starters out ,last I heard.Sounding better all the time....

Jax is a lock this weekend. Crazy how some are taking SD even after that woeful performance last week. They have no offense. Jax will score 27, SD 10.

Nah, we still control our destiny if Jax wins. We're a game up on Denver. It'll end in a tie if we lose to Denver or KC.

Although I like Jax as well they are having their own offensive issues. I think it'll be closer than that.

Phillip Rivers is awful JAX all the way in this one..

No need to apologize. As DFW stated we're much more harsh on our forum.

The problem with SD right now is that we're inconsistent and when we have yet to play a complete game this year. Not once have we had all phases in sync. Not once have we flat out played for 60 minutes. As a Bolts fan all one can do is hope for the best. I'm just hoping we find our way before it's too late.

The problem with SD right now is that we're inconsistent and when we have tossed semi game it's left something to be desired. SD has yet to play a complete game this year.

Fixed it for myself.

Mods, I didn't have an edit icon for my post? Is that a forum glitch or should I infer some deeper meaning?

As I see it, Rivers is only part of the problem. LT needs to get out of this funk he has been in since losing to the Pats.

Yea, he was fairly crushed by that. So was I. I agree, PR is only part of the problem. The OL is prolly the biggest part of the problem. Guys are getting beat at the point of attack. That's never good.

But the thing is, when PR does have time he's not making plays. He's missing receivers. He's not seeing the whole field. He's looking at the rush instead of feeling the rush. Anytime a QB throws 12 straight incompletion's that's on the QB. He's got 15 TO's after 9 games. That's gotta end.

In short he's gotta pull his head out of his arse.

Chargers-41 Broncos-3 was not a complete game?
