No. I'm just enjoying this moment for what it is. A young football team that's played two very good games. If Manuel continues to protect the ball and plays the caretaker role, I can see this season mirroring 1988, not 2008/2011.

@ Texans in a defensive slugfest.

Chargers don't really ever blow anyone out. I expect a Bills win. I think we play conservatively again and the difference is a defensive or special teams touchdown. Bills 23 Chargers 17

Exactly. Bills' opponents are 0-2 against the Buffalo Bills. Consider that for a moment before heaping praise on the Bills for these victories.

San Diego played a perfect game. I've lived here for 7 years and that's the best I've ever seen them play. They always struggle in early games on the road (outside of their playoff win at Cinci last year). I expect a Bills' win.

Ohrnberger has been solid for the Chargers. I don't think there's that much of a dropoff between him and Hardwick.

"But this is how we've always done it in the Catholic Church!"

There is no more impressive 2-0 team in the league. That should be good enough for #19 this week.

I live in San Diego. Chargers are mediocre on defense and they don't have a ton of team speed in general. Rivers keeps them in games, but I don't think they're anything better than an average team. If we protect the ball, I think we win. Something like 23-16.

Not Easy to run against 8 in the box. Manuel has to hit throws.

They are begging EJ to beat them but the kid is just so inaccurate. I don't see how he's ever going to be a good qb in this league.

To be honest, assuming we get half way decent play from Manuel, we should win the next two games. I live in San Diego and am not very impressed with the Chargers overall talent. Pretty average team all-around. Think the Phish are the better of the two teams.

Yeah, but we are talking about a dude that beat his wife and then slit her and another poor guy's throats. Kind of hard to feel proud when you see that guy honored in a big, highly visible way at your stadium.

Jets in the 6th.

Yeah, Riemersma was a pretty solid tight end. I feel like we had another guy during the Bledsoe era that wasn't half bad, but his name escapes me now.

Sure. So long as you enjoy public embarrassment.

What a great day for Bills fans! Thank you Terry and Kim, and most of all, thank you Ralph and Mary Wilson for ensuring that the Bills stay in Buffalo for the long haul!

Boyd is so good that the Jets couldn't even find a spot on the practice squad for him. And he's "athletic" so he must have huge upside. Plus, I've heard of him and his college games were on ESPN. Get 'er done Doug!

I agree he did enough yesterday to win (obviously). I just don't buy him as a long term solution (yet) based on eyeball test and past performance. Hope I'm wrong because I'd like to win now versus another 3 year rebuild.

lol. this board is bi-polar. manuel is still a mediocre qb with a subpar feel for the game. he threw for what? 170 yards? defense won that game, plain and simple. remember, even jp had his moments.

I think Cutler throws for 300, so I'll go with 420 total.

History and preseason eyeball test tell me "prepare for another season of futility." Bears win 24-6 or some other forgettable score in that ballpark. 5-11 here we come.

Wall of Fame? Come on. Fred's a nice player. Maybe an above-average NFL running back but he's only had one half-season that you could call elite. Aaron Shobel or Moulds are far more deserving WOF candidates from the turd era.

I'd say that first huddle is even more important. If EJ goes out there with his visor on he won't be able to look at his teammates eyes and they will lose all confidence in him. I could definitely see a strip sack in that scenario.

I live in San Diego and I've grown to become a casual fan of the Chargers. Not a rabid fan of the team, but I watch the games and root for them so long as they're not playing the Bills. My wife's family and most of my friends are big Chargers fans, so it's kind of come natural for me to root for them. I would never become a fan of a natural rival like the Dolphins, Pats or Jets/Giants. Definitely die-hard Bills fan for life.
