Niner Quisp

 Where to begin? LT's 4 TD's? Philip River's 334 yds passing? Antonio Gates opening drive turning what looked to be a short gain into a 57 yd TD? Maybe Luis Castillo's 1st ever interception, converted into one of Tomlinson's TD's? The list goes on and on. Alex Smith fought early, but his team was overmatched in all facets of the game. We dominated start to finish. Relentless, as it shoud be.

 We are crushing the teams we are favored to beat, not just winning, or squeaking by. The Steelers took on our AFC West rival, and next weeks opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, and handed they're asses to them. 45-7. We whupped the Steelers. It seemed the Chiefs were on a roll. NOT. Even though we have a lackluster record at Arrowhead Stadium, I'm feeling it again. Like Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap, we will have the volume up to "11" in KC! Were gonna send the Chiefs back to "Bitch School!" Spinal Tap rawks, forever.

  LT only had a respectable 71 yds to go along with his four TD's. He surpassed a Charger legend Lance "Bambi" Alworth after scoring his 4th he now has 87, nice stat. Steamrollers baybee! We rolled over this outmanned Niner squad. Our recieving squad were all in it. Parker had seven receptions for 88 yds, Gates five for 78. McCardell six for 65, and LT seven for 64. Nice balance. I know Vincent Jackson also caught a TD pass. Spread the wealth. Told you Philip would learn how to use his weapons.

  Lo & freakin' behold! What happened to Marty Ball ala the Baltimore game? It seems to be long gone. Good riddance! This is the dynamic Chargers we crave. This team has the tools to go far. The season is far from over. Some tough tests lie ahead. KC is one despite they're Steeler beatdown they took yesterday. Damon Huard run for your life, pal!

 Another cool stat for yesterday's game. We converted 80% of 3rd down conversions! 12 for 15. Incredible, even against a bad team. On the road, strong win...I realize this is a team that just squeaked by the Raiders last week. But its nice to get a road win in SF. Now its on to BBQ capital Kansas City. We gonna baste and broil KC like baby back ribs. I love an AFC West showdown on the road, this game is huge. Never hated the Chiefs, just as division rivals. But not quite like the Donks or the Raidahs. Actually, the 1st Super Bowl I remember watching at like 8 yrs old was the Vikings/Chiefs Bowl played in New Orleans at old Tulane Stadium and it was quite chilly, the Vikings were picked as heavy favorites but were trounced 23-7. I was amazed that the powerful Vikes were beaten by the supposedly weaker AFC. Len Dawson, Mike Garrett, Jan Stenerud, Buck Buchannon and Otis Taylor...what a team. This Chiefs team is hard to nail down after the loss in Pittsburgh. They are  depleted and we'll take advantage. Ripe for the pickin'. Hey, I was fairly close on my score call, I called it 42-21, it was 48-19. Gonna get dem Chiefs next week!

  Oh, and Drew Brees shall lead them. In checking up on x Charger star QB, now in N' Awlins...they are for real. Beating a big team like Philly, nice. A Saints/Chargers Super Bowl? Wouldn't that bum out a nation! Keep it up Drew. Guess he recovered well from that surgery. Gotta have a little love for the Saints. Love the turnaround. Go Saints!
