Well that was just a throttling, wasn't it? Felt pretty good, especially with the rumors that Josh McDaniels told the Chargers linebackers "we own you" during pregame warm ups.
In all facets of the game that is exactly what we want to see out of the Chargers (the run D wasn't great but they never scored a touchdown so who am I to complain?). LT was good. Not exactly his former self but still good, and that's good enough for me. It's always a good game when Rivers only needs 145 yards and 1 TD for the Chargers to score 32 points. Mike Tolbert, surprisingly, was the most effective back in this game, averaging 8.3 yards per carry and scoring on a very nice power run from 8 yards out. Hopefully we see more of this as Tolbert is proving to be very useful as a change-of-pace back to wear down defenses.
Now on to the bad news.
Injuries: At this point Luis Castillo "could play" this week against Kansas City, and early word is that Jeromy Clary is out for the season but nothing official yet. Tough break.
Also related is that Antonio Cromartie is being investigated on assault charges. Someone says he threw a bottle at them during a bar fight, but sources are already saying it wasn't him. Definitely more on that as it develops.
So all in all, good Sunday, let's hope for a good next week as well. The Chiefs proved they can play against the Steelers and have to be taken seriously next week in what pundits (me) are calling The Great Game that No One Will See.
