More than anything, this was a game of expectations.
The Chargers went up to Oakland loaded down with the expectations of a fan base and a city dying to see their NFL team in action. Expectations for the Chargers, certainly – much had been said, written, and imagined about yet another talented Charger squad. [...]

As I spoke to a few friends of mine Monday morning, I got an overwhelming sense of disappointment about last night’s game from them. The reaction ranged from a reasonable “That offensive line didn’t look too good”, to a more chicken-litte-esque “Well, looks like they’re going to suck.”
Wow.
Sure, there were moments that certain [...]

I’m excited.
Did that catch you off guard?
If so, then I recommend that those of you who were put off by yesterday’s game watch some of the film. As far as the final score goes – meh, it’s the first game of the preseason, and even then, we nearly overcame three bad turnovers by [...]

It’s been a good week in Chargerland.
At 3-3, we’ve evened our record, and we did it while beating one of our most bitter rivals, to boot. Sure, some may say that they didn’t have Tom Brady, but we didn’t have Gates or LT in the AFCC, so turnabout is fair game.
Even more impressive [...]

Normally, I write these Blues and Golds after watching and re-watching the game, sometimes multiple times, on my DVR. Going over some plays, looking at some phases I don’t pay enough attention to during the gameday excitement, yada yada.

Poor Lane Kiffin.
He was one quarter away from getting at least a one-week stay of execution. If the Raiders had beaten the Chargers last Sunday, I would be willing to bet that Kiffin would still be the head coach of the Oakland Raiders.
One quarter away.
It’s too bad that one quarter – a fourth [...]
