Is there life after the Minnesota fiasco?
Sorry I have been away from this blog. Work and life issues have interfered. San Diego sits at 4-4 tied with KC for first place in the AFC West despite the fact they lost a game they should have won against Minnesota last weekend.
It's taken me several days to recover from that loss and thinking about it still makes me mad.
The coache's game plan was stupendously horrendous. Allow me to elucidate:
The Vikings came into the game ranked dead last in the NFL against the pass and Antonio Gates, our prow bowl superstar tight end came in as the Chargers' leading receiver. He has been more of a go to guy for Phillip Rivers due to the season long injury to Eric Parker. So what do the Bolts do? Do they pass all over the field?
No, they try to run the ball against a defense which was ranked No.3 in the NFL against the run.
Worst of all, they squander a spectacular kickoff return by Antonio Cromartie and a halftime advantage and end up making rookie Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson like Walter Payton, eclipsing the NFL rushing record with nearly 300 yards on the ground.
Mind you, most of this running came in the second half, and why not? The SD defense held Peterson mostly in check in the first half with little over 40 yards but was on the field too long due to the offense's inability to move the ball or put up points in the second half.
Well, I wonder which team will show up this week in a vital game agains the Colts, the sack happy pash rushing team which upset the Colts a few years ago or the Jeckill and Hyde team that's sitting at .500 right now? I hope the former
