Koucerek in 1960, against the Titans, of NY. Lookit all the fans!
John Hadl 1963 AFL Champion. When I was a kid in the late 60's for Xmas I got a kiddie Charger uniform and you know what rocked about it? Single bar mask! 1967 I think.
My team is out of the playoffs this I know. But hope for tomorrow and knowing in reality you have a chance to make huge strides toward the goal of a Super Bowl Championship in 2006 is awesome. I know who the 2006 SD Chargers opponents are home and away. We were tested with the toughest of all schedules of 2005 and performed well on occasion but ultimately came up short. Sure I like a top tier schedule but with light whining I say for 2005, gimmee a break...sheesh! That was brutal, only respite was OAK twice, BUFF, and Miami...and we all know how Miami did us in house!
This season looks way realistic in terms of playoffs and or AFC West Championship or get high faith and maybe home field and best record. That goes a long way in securing a spot in the ultimate game. Oh, its not way too early for me to begin pining for next year to start. Looks like I'm in for 3 games this year and some will be reuniting with old pals. We will for sure video and photographic montages of these upcoming 2006 game experiences. So here are our opponents in 2006...read em and weep. As James Brown would say "I Feel Good!"
I'm gonna even call W's and L's for fun now so you can pull this up and remind me next season and I'm sure Raiderfanmarc77 or Crazychieftude will remind me! Remember I'm a homer and its the earliest of early to call games before training camp and even this yrs playoffs are ongoing so this is early Vegas betting at best.
Home opponents:
2)Cleveland if the games were in this order...we are now 2-0 W
3)Denver Drew returns and we get payback! W
4)Kansas City Puh leez W
5)Oakland 7 in a row VS Raiders
6)Pittsburgh c'mon now...revenge factor for '05 game W
7)St. Louis I will be attending this one so of course W
8)Tennessee remember the hip hop group Arrested Development's hit "Tennessee" Niether do I . Were gonna whup this team like "Mr. Wendel". W
AWAY GAMES:
1)Baltimore the "Heckyl & Jeckyl" helmets always make me cringe w/that fierce purple W
2)Buffalo this will be like beating up on a CFL team W
3)Cincinnati Our pass defense will shred Carson P. W
4)Denver LT runs wild in the snow at Mile High W
5)KC still in tears over Vermiel's departure the Chiefs are in disarray and we take one at Arrowhead! W
6)OAK the OCHO! W
7)San Francisco Alex S. meet Merriman, blow out! W
8)Seattle I will be at this one up in Seattle also, my prescence alone will bring the W W
So there you have it. By my expert and unbiased analysis looks like we are gonna be 16-0 and Super Bowl Champions. Funny, I come up with this scenario every year. Realistically the schedule has enough tough bumps to keep us strong but we got some bottom feeders too! My calls for the upcoming playoff weekend if you care: 1) Skins @ Hawks...Hawks 27-10 (2)Pats @ Donks go against the feel good story...Broncos 31-26 (3)Steelers @ Colts...Colts 34-17 (4)Panthers @ Bears...go with the mighty teal...Panthers 21-14
I will be on the train to SoCal for these playoff games so I will listen on walkman radio as the broadcasts drift in n out down the west coast. Good Luck to all participants!
