The Bolt Killed Flipper

  Its all different now. This was somewhat of a storied rivalry. Arguably the greatest playoff game ever in history, which the Bolts won on Kellen Winslow heroics in 1981. Actually this game is the ultimate tiebreaker in the series, since back in the old AFL days. Its 10-10 in the regular season and 2-2 in the playoffs. Gary Anderson of the Chargers made one of the most watched highlights in NFL history when he leapt a Dolphins cornerback streaking to the end zone and executed a perfect kung fu like sumersault in the endzone, TD! I can't seem to remember any Miami plays though. They did paste us in 1992 like 31-0 in the playoffs and I'll never forget that. Miami is improving. But the Chargers are a hard team to improve against.

LaDainian Tomlinson had 86 yards on 25 carries in the Chargers victory over the Raiders, 34-10.

This is who is coming out of the tunnel at you Miami, you will long for the ghost of December's past, the ghost of "the Killer Bees" defense. LT will run roughshod over you and Brees will be firing touch shots and rifle fire in your direction. And duck and cover Fins, the Antonio Express is also rolling your way. Overwhelming ain't it? Just the tip of the iceberg. A larger part of the Charger iceberg and some of the most dangerous lie beneath the surface of the water. The so called "role" players who rise when called upon. Tuner, Parker, Neal, McQuardell, Sproles (due to break one soon).  Caldwell is going to snag a big reception in this one I predict.

  The dee is solid. Yes, our secondary is ugly at times. But we get better each week and we have "big play capability" written all over us. Yes, we make the other teams QB look good at times but the pass dee has come through in the clutch. We had an awesome goal line stand to win a few weeks back remember? May write more tonight, its out in 38 degree weather to sell falafels...ouch!
