Chargers & Raiders

I'd match them both up with either the Saints or Falcons

The Chargers are always picked to make noise, but never do despite putting up video game stats.

The Raiders? Please. Jason Campbell sucks and once again their penalty yardage will be measured in miles.

[Mother Grabber]

Chargers are led by Norv Turner, they will never get far. I feel bad for Rivers, who will never sniff the superbowl with Norv and AJ running the show there.

Oakland doesn't have a QB, they won't go anywhere. They do have a hell of a kicker, though.

They are both solid teams on the rise.

Chargers have Vjax back for the whole season which will make a huge difference. Rivers is a very good QB with a ton of weapons. They are a handful for anyone.

The Raiders have a stout D and McFadden is becoming an elite RB in the league, if he isn't already. Losing Miller hurts but they are a tough out for anyone.

They would give both Atl and NO a tough match each and every time and I would probably bet on SD against all 3 of them.

I guess we're talking about two different things.

Do I consider them Superbowl contenders? Probably not the Raiders but the Chargers yes.

Do I consider them a tough game for most anyone that they'd play, including everyone in the NFC South, yes.

[Mother Grabber]

I agree about the raiders having a hard hitting D and good backs, but without a QB that won't win you many games. ATL and NO will chew them up, and TB and CAR would make a good game with them.

Chargers have some O, but so do NO and ATL. I don't think SD can keep up with them on a regular basis. Any given Sunday, sure, but my money is on ATL and NO beat any AFCW team no sweat.

NO and ATL have nothing close to what SD has in terms of offense and almost any metric will back that up.

I don't think ATL is as good as many people think, Tampa for sure isn't, and most people realize we're a few years away.

[bauss]

Not a balck guy I can promise you that. I think Fox is a racist.

From what I hear on the internet all white guys are.

[Mother Grabber]

Ok, I'm done.

How bout we leave the past in the past and move forward with the future

Dude get a life

Oh, the irony...But enough on that.

As far as the broncos, I think their defense can hang with a lot of teams. Love miller and dummervil. I still don't think they can compete with the chargers. I don't think they scrare a lot of the competition.

The raiders are better, but they only won 2 games outside thei division last year. If you line up the NFC south and afc west. The chargers of the division would be the saints. As far as the rest?? I think ATL and TB are better than the rest of the division.

As far as us? I can't guarantee a win, but I don't see any reason why we couldn't conmpete against Oakland, Denver, or the chiefs. And we aren't a great team.

This is the huddle, most things talked about here are from the past, especially jokes.

Lower your expectations.

[TheRealDeal]

I do hate the chargers, mostly because their fans are worse than ours in terms of football knowledge. It's not even football, all sports really.

But they are a very talented team.

Raiders aren't on the same level as NO or Atl. Not even close.

It is a QB driven league.....and they don't have one (or one in training). Once they play some real teams.....that D won't look as good either. Things will change once they start playing w/o Nnamdi taking away half the field for a QB.
