Blazing Bolts

Complete Domination

What a game. What a game. The Chargers battled against the Tennessee Titans last night in San Diego's first-ever Christmas Day game. There's been bad blood between these teams in past years, but both teams insisted that that was behind them. Whether that was really true is debateable, but the bottom line is, the Chargers dominated.

This was a must-win game for both teams. For the Chargers, a win would mean that they would get a bye in the first round of the playoffs. For the Titans, it was a do-or-die game. If they didn't win, they would be eliminated from the playoffs.

The Titans drew first blood with a field-goal in the first quarter, but LaDainian Tomlinson scored his first touchdown of the night to give the Chargers a 7-3 lead.

In the second quarter, the Titans fell apart a bit, making frustrating miscues that cost them a lot, but were absolutely great for the Chargers. They got called over and over again, resulting in five or ten yards or a first down for the Chargers. It was great for us, but you could feel the frustration on Tennessee's side.

Meanwhile, Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers was on his game. He was fired up and thriving in this game. Maybe because of all his family in the stands. Maybe because of the smell of the playoffs. Whatever it was, he was incredible. This guy is so underrated, it's not even funny.

In the second quarter, we got touchdowns from Darren Sproles and Antonio Gates to put us up 21-10 at the half.

In the third quarter, we got touchdowns from Tomlinson and Sproles again as the offense dominated. The defense also had some excellent plays that kept the Titans from scoring.

In the fourth quarter, Sproles scored his third touchdown of the night. The Titans were able to get one more TD on their side of the board, but it was too late. The Chargers won the game, 42-17.

It was such an excellent game. It was their 10th win in a row and their 18th straight win in Decembers. We got the first-round bye in the playoffs, and next week's game is meaningless.

I am just so excited about this team right now. They are absolutely unstoppable, and I honestly think that it's not going to stop until we are the Super Bowl champions. It's been an incredible season, but it's not over yet. This has got to be our year. It's just incredible.

GO CHARGERS!!!   

AFC WEST CHAMPIONS!!!

Your San Diego Chargers are AFC West Champions!!!

We started off the season 2-3, but now we're AFC West Champions.

The Denver Broncos started off the season 6-0, but we're the AFC West Champions.

We thought this was going to be the year, and now we're AFC West Champions.

We are on a nine-game winning streak, and now we're AFC West Champions.

This is our 50th season in the NFL, and now we're AFC West Champions for the fourth year in a row.

All we want for Christmas is a Super Bowl for San Diego, and being AFC West Champions is certainly a step in the right path.

Who would have thought that our Chargers would make a comeback like this? Well, guess what. It happened. We're AFC West Champions.

53-yard field goal with three seconds left in the game to win? That's what our AFC West Champions do.

San Diego is starved for a Championship. Let's bring a Super Bowl win the San Diego, AFC West Champions.

This is our year.

How 'bout them Chargers??
Yesterday San Diego won their eighth straight game and now have a two-game lead over the Denver Broncos. It was an amazing game for the Chargers, going up against a very good team in the Cowboys. The were done 3-0 at first, but they came roaring back and won the game 20-17.
I think we're going to the playoffs.
I think we're going to the Superbowl.
And I think we're going to win it.
Things are looking so good right now. It's really, really exciting to see this team come together and go out there, fight hard, and win. I can't wait to see what else they'll do this season.
Our next game is at home against Cincinnati at home. Let's do this.

Total Domination

On Sunday, our San Diego Chargers played yet another incredible game, this time against the Denver Broncos in Colorado.

What a set up there was for this game: two teams, locked in a tie for first place in the AFC West, one team on a losing streak, the other on a winning streak. It was an epic match up. Just a few months before, people would have said that the Broncos were going to win that game. They were the ones who started out 6-0. The Chargers were not looking to great at all. That just shows you the beauty of this game. Things can turn around just like that.

This game was huge for San Diego. Sure, it's only the middle of the season, but this game was the season. If they lost it, I truly don't believe that they would have a chance for the division. But if they won, they would be on top of the division.

So much for the Broncos. The Chargers dominated in this game, winning 32-3. 32-3!!

It was a very exciting game for all Chargers fans. It was so good to see the team get out there and say, Hey, we're the leaders here. We're the champions. It was great to show all of football who's boss.

And it gives us as Chargers fans a lot of hope. Just a few weeks ago I wasn't so sure that this team would be able to pull this season off. Things were looking bad. But now, the thought of Super Bowl is starting to get into our heads. We have to be careful not to let that take too much root, because we've been disappointed so many times, but hey, right now, anything is possible.

GO CHARGERS!

Tied For First

Talk about those Chargers, man. Look where they are now. Four games ago, you would have said that they had almost no chance for a playoff spot. Now, a few weeks later, you can say, "We're tied for first place." Isn't that incredible?

Besides the game, there's an incredible feel-good story that came out of this game about our star here in San Diego, LaDanian Tomlinson.

Before the game, LT found a gift bag in his locker from his wife that had a positive pregnacy test. He was overcome with joy. The Tomlinsons had a tragic miscarriage in 2005, and haven't been able to have children since. LT scored two touchdowns and is now in third place for the all time touchdown list. I know that those numbers do not really matter to him, though: he's going to get a child.

“God works in mysterious ways,” he said. “It's a special thing about having a child. I can't explain it.”

It was just an incredible game for the Chargers. Phillip Rivers did excellently once again, but the story just keeps going back to LT. Wow. This is our guy.

And again, there's a playoff atmosphere in the air. Will we be able to make it? Will we be able to do it again? Will we ever get our Superbowl?

Maybe this year is the year. Maybe we'll finally get something going here. But first, we've got a lot of football to play. Let's see what happens.

GO CHARGERS!!

Thrilling Victory For San Diego

What an incredible game was played between the San Diego Chargers and the New York Giants yesterday. Wow.

Neither team scored until the first play of the second quarter, when Phillip Rivers threw to Vincent Jackson to get a touchdown. The Giants came right back with their own touchdown to tie the game.

In the third quarter, Kris Wilson made his first touchdown as a Charger to give them a 14-7 lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Giants came all the way back to take a 20-14 lead over the Chargers. Things were not looking good, but the game was not over yet.

Once the Chargers got the ball with about 2:07 left in the game, Rivers took his team 80 yards. He threw 18 yards to Vincent Jackson with 21 seconds left in the game to tie it up. It was almost unbelievable. The extra point was good, and San Diego took the 21-20 lead.

The defese was able to hold back the Giants and the Chargers took this game.

Talk about exciting and totally nerve-wracking at the same time. It was just an amazing game, and I think it instilled a lot of hope into San Diego and its fans.

The Chargers are now 5-3. There's hope. There's a lot of hope.

It's a Win :)

Things may be looking up after all.

The Chargers played a great, great game yesterday in the rain against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bolts won 37-7!!

San Diego pulled out a lead early, and held it all the way to the end. Now we're 3-3. Enough to catch up to the red-hot Broncos? Maybe not, but hopefully we'll have a chance for a respectable season.

GO CHARGERS!!

Uh-Oh.

Things are not going well for the Chargers right now.

They lost a tough, tough game to the Broncos last night, 34-23. The Chargers are now 2-3 on the season, and it's not looking like they'll be able to win a fourth straight AFC West title. Oh man. The Broncos are now 6-0, and it looks very, very likely that they'll take the division.

Sure, the Chargers came back from a deficit last year, but that was a different team. Coming into this year, things looked pretty good, but right now, it's not looking good at all. It doesn't feel good either.

It's tough. This city has been through a lot. We've never won a big championship, unless you can count the Little League World Series. A lot of people had high hopes for this team this year.

I guess we shouldn't be giving up, but it's going to be hard not to.

GO CHARGERS!
