NFL 2009

At this rate, I'm really wondering if Norv Turner will finish the season. The Chargers looks completely rattled here in Week 1. Granted, their O-Line has injuries, but this doesn't look good.

And Oakland was robbed off a TD.

Part of me is worried...part of me feels like this has been typical of the first week or two of Chargers football for a couple seasons now.

24-20 San Diego...

I'm not sure what that game was all about, but I'm not too excited about it. I'm really interested in knowing why LT disappeared around the 9 minute mark there in the 4th and never came back.

Maybe Sproles told him to take the night off?

I found in an article this morning that he apparently rolled his ankle.

If LT keeps injuring himself just a little bit all the time, he's done.

I feel for Buffalo and Oakland...Buffalo was one mistake on a kickoff away, and Oakland was one bad call away...but hopefully both teams are able to build on the positives and stay competitive.

Also...Minnesota with Favre playing like that might be a major contender...they already were with virtually no quarterback play, so the addition of someone as good at play-action and comebacks as Favre might make that the best offense in the league.

And as much as I feel for Buffalo and Oakland...Cincy...oh man...I wouldn't blame them if they all were weeping after that game.

Man. That game was insane. The Chargers finally decided to play at the end.

Huh? That was obviously a set play. Orton threw it just out of Hall's reach, and Stokley's route was designed to have him in the area while the Bengals triple-teamed Marshall.

Yeah,I mean I know it was NO's D they were up against,but it was a decent showing.Not a humiliating one like anything last year.

Detroit scored 27. Two TDs on offense, one TD on defense and two FGs. One of the FGs was after a 6-yard drive following an 87 yard kickoff return. One of the TDs was after a 43 yard punt return.

I'm not trying to say that NO's defense is amazing, but considering what the special teams gave them to work with, they really only gave up 17, maybe even 10, depending on how you look at it. Overall they held Detroit to 231 yards of total offense.

**Fandrew** · 09-16-2009, 09:34 PM

That's still an improvement for Detroit

Agreed... he's old, injury prone, and the Chargers have Sproles. Earlier this year LT argued that he's a better back than Adrien Peterson. I laughed.

I laughed as well...after one game, LT rushed for 55 yards, fumbled and was injured...Peterson had 180 yards and 3 touchdowns...

Lots of potenially awesome games...hopefully they live up to that potenial!

I didn't watch the Titans Texans game, but followed the score online. It seemed pretty intense. I'm glad that the Texans won of course, but I feel kind of bad for Titans because they are definitely better than 0-2
