    Well that was a poor game last night actually thought we were going to lose it on the final drive of the 49ers, we still have a s##t show at kicker missing two pats, the long field goal I can accept 54 yarders are not gimmies like a pat, defense is poor so far, apart from Derwin James no standout player, Darius Phillion is playing well, offense gone 22 game's now without scoring a td on the opening drive of game's is concerning

    Drew Kaser cut... You have to just scratch your head.
    Performing really well punting, surely someone else could hold the ball.

    I'll PM you my number and if we meet we meet. If not no sweat, I am meeting a few more bodies later but that might be in the Titans pub (barrow boy and banker, near London bridge).

    I see it's confirmed the Chargers will be doing another Intl game in 2019. A few thinking it will be the Packers in London as they've never been.

    So the Chargers are heading the playoffs.

    Huge game tomorrow, really looking forward to it.
    Hopefully we produce a performance and make them sweat against Seattle.

    Also the Chargers look like they're heading to London again next year, confirmed as a home team for the international series next year.

    Well done tonight guys.

    You completely shut down the run game which was going to be the key.

    All the best for the rest of the playoffs.

    Big-time.. because it is the Pats (who I detest) I might even watch this one.

    I would love to see Rivers win or st the very least get to a SB but I think Chargers come up short against the Pats.

    Couldn’t put away a rookie QB who did absolutely nothing for 3&1/2 quarters.

    Brady is Foxborough is a totally different animal.

    Might be a shoot out as Pats D not nearly as effective as Ravens D.

    I agree it’s not but the Chargers dominated the Ravens for nearly 3 hours & could only win by 6.

    They won’t dominate the Pats (as much as I would love it if they did).

    I have a feeling they very well might dominate them. Run game is huge for us.
    Ingram was a man possessed yesterday.
    Bosa and Ingram getting after Brady will be a joy.

    Hopefully Mebane plays, we'll know today if Henry is involved.

    The Chargers D dominated, the O was awful... that has a lot to do with how good the Ravens D is. The Chargers O should put up many more points next weekend. Will be interesting to see how the D deal with Brady et al.

    Having two elite edge rushers is very important. Bosa and Ingram will give the Patriots O-line the vapours.

    I just don't think the Chargers offence is playing well enough. Tough to see a Patriots loss.

    Something like that could provide extra motivation for the others ie. do it for his daughter kinda thing... or it could go the other way and tire them out mentally.

    Fantastic to see Rivers back in the play-offs and with a legitimate team around him. Telesco has done a great job at building the roster and Lynn has brought real character to them. They don’t seem as flakey as previous Charger teams.
    I don’t think they’ll win it all but I think they’ll win this weekend.

    We've signed another kicker, Rose who'll take kick-offs to ensure Patterson can't return them. Was undrafted and signed with the Falcons

    Pats had a game plan that they executed perfectly. Short passes that were caught, gave the Chargers pass rush little time to get to Brady, and the Pats turned those short passes into nice gains (breaking tackles). Pats rarely in 3rd and long. Allowed them to run the ball as well. And dominated possession.

    On the other side of the ball, the Pats got to Rivers early and got into his head big time. He lost control of things, the delay of games a sign of him being flustered. Apart from the opening drive, when Gilmore gave up the open TD, the Pats made everything tough for the receivers, and never left the Chargers really run the ball.

    Brady was vintage, and his OL run blocked and pass protected really well. With the quick passes, it was too easy for Brady. Pats in the second half took their foot off the pedal and worked the clock.

    Maybe it was the experience of being there and done that, or the extra week off, or the travel for the Chargers.... but it was mismatch tonight. Good season for the Chargers, and they are a better team than what turned up today.

    The Mebane moment was a nice touch. As a dad of two, really felt for the guy. At the end of the day, it's a football game, not life or death.

    Best of luck next season, you've a lot to build with going forward.

    Men against boys.

    Old man Rivers had a mental break down.

    Season just days away so I thought I'd look this thread up and see if there's many if any of us left on here,

    What does everyone think for the new season, I'm not overly confident I think 8-8 or 9-7 is the limit for the team, the reason be I have nlvery little confidence in the offensive line, especially the tackles Scott or tevi, I think they will have rivers under constant pressure and very little to no run game while Melvin is holding out, i like ekler and Jackson but don't think they can carry the full load especially against stacked box's inside the 5 where Melvin got most his tds, defense is going to carry this team I think, even without James they should be top 8 defensive unit, bosa Ingram and tillery upfront should be exciting to watch imo,
