Week 7: Patriots @ Chargers

[mestevo]

First to 9 wins this division, can't always expect to pull up from the nosedive they seem to take every year though. 0-2 in the division, 1-3 in the AFC, 0-4 on the road, it's quite a hole.

Yeah it's not about talent. The Chargers clearly had more talent than their opponents in just about every game they've lost this year. Talent alone does not win in the NFL.

As I said, the road is getting tougher. The soft part of the schedule is over and they went 2-4 in that run. Starting with this past Sunday they are now playing teams with the same talent level as them and I don't see the results changing any time soon.

I feel the same way. Its like just someone beat the you know out of them and it would be ok. I agree with ya man...did you happen to read some comments from Norv Turner? I thought some of his comments were interesting.
