Rivers Tosses Cookies


 Nice photo. The new classic bucket, oh the luster is so off the new helmet buzz. We lost to JAX, I'm just getting over it. Relegated to reality. Except even if we win the West  we'll cash out in the 1st round. To even entertain fantasy of this team going on the road and beating NE in Foxboro in the snow be crazy. Or Indy. The ducks were all in a row last year. And like Dennis Green's tirade of a few years ago, the Jags are who they thought we were and we let em off the hook! Not really, they dominated. We somehow got back in it. It was exciting to watch us with the chance to at least tie after playing horribly. I had that gnawing old Charger fan feeling going. We need something to go wrong, right? And it did. Hats off to Garrard, poise. Killed us. Totally outplayed us. I hate writing like this. Mediocre deserves mediocre I guess.

 If you know the movie "This Is Spinal Tap" there is a quote from Derek Smalls, the fu manchued bass player, played by Harry Shearer. He is commenting on the songwriting genius of his bandmates, lead guitar playah Nigel Tufnel, and singer David St. Hubbins. He compares them each to fire and ice. Then he is asked his role in the band, he answers, "I'm somewhere in the middle, sort of like lukewarm water". That is the 2007 Chargers in a nutshell. So that's my Jax game blog...weak. Weak. Weak.
