The Gaguars prove that they can deconstruct a franchise much better than the Chargers. The Gags have no coach, no owner (okay, a NEW one), no defensive backfield, and a lousy post game spread. OK, I made that last one up. Apparently, the only thing the Chargers needed was for Philip Rivers to not be a one-man wrecking crew. Leading the league in interceptions and total turnovers (17 and 21), Rivers doesn't commit a single turnover and BOOM the Charge-its win a game. They rocket to 5-7 and are back in the thick of the AFC West playoff race, because the Raiders have no idea what to do with a lead. The Gags, on the other hand, remain mathematically alive for the Moldy Carpet, at 3-9 just three games behind the suddenly slightly more potent Indianapolis Colts. COULD the final game in week 17 against the Dolts shape up as a championship game? Does my Lincoln get 25 to the gallon?
The Raiders are playing the Pack, so The Charg-its have a chance to gain some ground. Although having said that, I'm feelin' a Pack let down and a Raider victory. But this is not the forum for predictions.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I predict the Dolts will trade Manning with "losing out for Luck" as the strategy. I also predict the Cowpies will fire Garret and hire John "Chucky" Gruden or Jeff Fischer as they need a tough guy couch to chase the stink of Garret's wimpiness out of the stadium.
Pack is going 16-0 this year.
