SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY!
We spoke too soon on the Worst Stats of the week!   Holy Cow!  Leading 24-0 at halftime,  the Chargers get the reverse gear going like nobody's business, and Peyton Manning turns the Broncos into a Ferrari and they burn through the Chargers for 35 second-half points and the biggest comeback in MNF history, and damn near the biggest comeback ever (Niners-Saints got that one).   But it IS the first time a team down by 24 wins by double-digits.  Just off the ding-dong HOOK.
TWO more pick-6 TDs (one for each team) bringing the weekend total to what has to be a record SIX!
Another fumble return for a TD!
Philip Rivers single handedly flames out spectacularly, with FOUR second half interceptions, and TWO lost fumbles.  That's SIX turnovers by ONE guy!    Holy Freaking Cow!!   The Doormat Division is a-FLAME!!!
Of smaller interest, but equally curious, is that Denver has been down by more than 20 points in four of their six games, but are 3-3.   Cwazy!

I think the biggest problem the Chargers have is Norv Turner. He is not a winner. They should make Ray Lewis their head coach next year. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHey, do I get the Titanics?
The TITANICS are yours, and they show Promise.
ReplyDeleteNorv Turner has getting his team spectacularly unprepared for the big game DOWN.

That was definitely a game for the Doormat Hall of Fame.
