Re: Questions from a Bolts fan

Used to love going to Chargers games when I lived out there. The fans were die hard but friendly to opposing fans. It was always a good time.

Like some one else mentioned, Pierre Thomas is one of the most under appreciated players in the League. If he gets hot there's not a more dangerous back in the game. Lance Moore is having his worst season as pro but when he gets his head out of his *** he's another guy who can kill you.

On defense we just suck.

BTW... We're ALL Happy For Brees! Glad He Went To a Cool Team Like the Saints and Brought Them Their First Championship (as well as changed the culture).

Now We're Believing That Rivers Will Do the Same for the Chargers!

Re: Questions from a Bolts fan

Charger fans are usually very cool, and as a Saints fan I do appreciate that.

I do expect the Saints to be very hungry this upcoming week, and no offense to the Chargers, but if the Saints want it bad enough, it is going to be a very lopsided score. I am not trying in anyway to put the Chargers down, but the Saints are seriously cornered, and at least once this year they will drop 50 points on someone. Just saying...

On a serious note, I really hope the Chargers stay in San Diego and not move to Los Angeles. That would ruin a fantastic fan base. Not sure why the Chargers are itching for a new crib, I get it that I don't know a lot about the situation but that place, Jack Murphy Stadium or whatever it's called these days always looks like a palace to me.

Re: Questions from a Bolts fan

Presently we do not have any IR to speak of...

When I think Nationally known and talked about names I think we have a couple. Brees/Graham/Sproles...

Pierre Thomas will simply put wear you out, he is the most under rated, productive RB in the league IMHO.

As far as for the rest... Some are known but not revered. I wouldnt say any one of them on the field at a time would be a worry like Rice/TO/Swan in their hayday.. But when you have Graham/Colston/Henderson/Thomas/Sproles on the field at the same time... Its is nearly impossible to stop as Sproles and Graham will draw your best d players leaving the rest vulnerable.

To be quite honest, Drew makes ANY player on the field dangerous.

Now on Defense, our most dangerous player is Shanle. He will lul you into a false sense of security then all of a sudden trip and fall into a tackle.

Re: Questions from a Bolts fan

Now I have a question for both of you Chargers fans.

Who have y'all drafted that you don't see working out in the next year or two?

Thanks for being respectful bug no offense taken... Marty wasn't working out with the GM and the relationship was toxic but Norv wasn't the answer. He has a way of shining in meaningless games....

Interesting thing to read as it has been a big complaint from our side as well... until last week when the defense was spot on against an offense that was having a horrible game... a luxury we don't expect against you guys.

Despite last weeks performance I don't see Brees giving us the gifts Cassle did... and the forced fumbles just don't happen every game. If you guys don't have confidence in your defense then... this game looks like it has all the makings of a shootout... with that said every time I predict a shoot out it becomes a low scoring defense dominated battle for field position so what do I know?

I expect them to be hungry as well… and I don’t think the Bolts, or our fanbase is looking past you guys… you have some strong recent history despite this years record not to mention two offensive guys who were beloved as they left us… I see quite a few Sproles Jerseys around town still. It should be a tough game… The Saints would be the most impressive victory yet despite record… To be completely honest there is no way I an look at an 0-4 team and say elite, but if you guys ccan fight your way into the playoffs somehow you have a shot.

Disclaimer: While I live close enough to San Diego where when anyone in other parts of the country ask where I live I say San Diego, I don’t officially live in the city limits, so this may skew my view point.
The short version is that QUALCOMM is something around 723 years old, a multi purpose stadium and not a “true” football stadium, a bad financial deal for the City alike, in very lousy shape but the City is broke where a new stadium is going to be hard to convince the politicians to put money forward, and a hard sale to the people as well.

Chargers Fan: I come in peace, I am not here to flame or troll just to learn about your team.
