Chargers Suck
Plenty of issues with this team, but who the hell is calling plays for this outfit?* They've got the best running back in the league and they don't come out running the football right away, they don't go for it on fourth-and-short when they're already down 17-0 and they don't run the ball on third-and-friggin' short when they're in no-brainer four-down territory, preferring instead to let Rivers throw a short pass against a defense that's already in his head.
*Yes, I know it's Norv Turner.
It's now 31-7 and it's lion & christians. SD just wants to go home.

Meme for the day: The Pats, with something to prove, lay the wood on the next best team in the AFC.
The reality: The chargers had a poor secondary last year, and the men who could cover that up are no longer working for them. Throw in poor play calling and overall coaching by Turner, and while the Pats were impressive, it remains to be seen what if anything this one game will mean.
