Coach Talk

cheeseheads
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and literally doubled up jichanorthNJ at the quarterback position (59.57 points to 28.1).
jichanorthNJ
Our starting QB tossed four interceptions and just one touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Were the Chiefs truly that stout against the pass, or was Philip Rivers just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make... jichanorthNJ. The Chargers have a bye next week, so fortunately you have some extra time to ponder that one!
