Keys for the Chargers: Manage the Donks' pass rush. That will likely mean a RB or TE held in to block a LOT. For some reason, I have a gut feeling that Rosario may play a big role in this game with McMichael having to help out Harris and/or Clary. Pound the run game. Denver is suspect against the run & this keeps the ball outta Peytie-Pie's hands. Generate pass rush. Get Manning off his spot. Incorporate some blitzes where we see Phillips, Barnes, & Ingram on the field together. Do I need to say it? MOAR INGRAM!!! Control Demaryius Thomas. He's been a beast in YAC. Maybe a Carr sighting this week? We'll need the experience vs. Thomas, Decker, & Tamme. Watch out for new acquisition Trinidon Holliday returning kicks. He's a fast, shifty little bugger. Exploit Porter being out of the lineup. I'm not making a prediction. I'll just go with the positive mojo that EmDiggy took the Donks.
It's Game Day!!! I'm up and at 'em!!! Oh wait, I have to put in some hours at work before I crack open a can of liquid sunshine... GO BOLTS!!! Let's leave these donkeys braying for mercy! Pointy
Total defensive domination of the Donks will do the trick. This defense has to start clicking sometime this season and for me, I can't think of a better time than tonight!!!
I hate to say it, but I think it would be good for Philip to spend as little time throwing the ball as possible. Hopefully we can use the run and a short passing game instead of putting him constantly in danger with these 20+ yd routes.

Seriously considering an all nighter here ala the Saints game. Killed me but so worth it, cannot handle having to ignore internet, phone etc all day until I get to see the game.
Me too. I don't work mornings so I could watch the game about an hour after it ended, but then the Chargers wouldn't have my eyeball power.
Blewy is just a brilliant and creative impresario here on BT. CMB's loss is BT's gain OK, enough of paying excessive homage. What Blew seems to lack is an extrovert personality. Hey Jacko, bottle up some of that sunny Aussie personality of yours and FedEx it to Da Blew One, will ya? I'll pay for the freight
Oddly, this doesn't appear to be the same Trindon that was churning out highlight reel returns at LSU. This version of Holliday was falling down at first contact and averaging less than 5 yards per return for the Texans (who were getting him plenty of reps being that their defense forced a lot of punts). Pretty much he's been doing his best Richard Goodman impression all year.
I say go for it. I was over in England for the Monday night game against the Raiders. got up at 3AM to watch the game. Was totally worth it.
Good Morning CHARGERSFans! Bolts Flag Flying! Jersey On! Triple venti, Non-fat Vanilla Lette in Hnad! Let's go Bolts! Beat the Rented Mules!!
I have to work during the game tonight so I will unfortunately miss it, but it will be all I'm thinking about. Come on Bolts! Put Manning in his place! Show the nation tonight that this is once again the Chargers' division!
