Well this is the game for me that will decide if I let myself start thinking playoffs or not.

Now let's get this straight, the Chargers have handled us with ease for as long as you can remember. Rivers looked like he was having a fun Sunday rather than working. They absolutely crushed us last year in SD.

Now for some reason I think this Blake vs Gus battle will be huge. They both know the others strengths and weaknesses, they know systems, our coaches are still the coaches Gus bought in. Now both teams have 8 games worth of film to see what is different and what's similar. Heres the weird thought I have, do you think Gus has that killer instinct to just attack Bottles weaknesses all afternoon? I just don't think he does. They'll be tough and competitive but I think this is a huge chance for Blake to almost make it look like Gus and his system was holding him back.

This isn't the team from last season though and if we can get to 6-3 (can't believe in typing that) then the South is ours to lose.

Just need to beat L.A. first, I've been stung by this franchise too many times before!!
