OH MY FUCKING GOD! Chargers Beat Colts!

I told one of my friends as I was watching the Chargers-Colts game that the title of my blog post today regardless of the outcome would be: OH MY FUCKING GOD! And I will start out with what I promised regardless of the outcome...

The officiating of this game couldn't have been more biased at all. The officials were fucking awful and I mean awful and probably something you won't see much in the media this week and namely backjudge # 57 (upon further review it might be bj #59...either way they are both on the "list") - and I will find out his name - should be instantly fired... he literally was throwing a flag (against the Chargers) anytime Manning threw a pass... a phantom pass interference penalty against Clinton Hart for what... running with the receiver? And I think he was also involved with the third down play prior to the miss Kaeding field goal in the 2nd quarter... a flag was thrown and then picked up with the simple explanation of "There was no penalty because the quarterback was out of the pocket." First, there was absolutely no replay shown - which I find odd right there - and secondly, because the quarterback was out of the pocket then what? You can then tackle a receiver? Hold? What? Apparently if you aren't a Charger, you can do anything... The entire game I couldn't believe that the officiating crew did everything in their power to let the Colts win, it was UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE. If you reversed all the bullshit calls against the Chargers this game would have been a blowout in favor of the Chargers. But enough with that because the Chargers won, if they would have lost it would sound like sour grapes but regardless, I think it had to be noted that the officials in this game were fucking disgusting...

Despite the officials trying to hand the game to the Colts the Chargers end up winning the game and not just winning the game but winning the game with LaDainain Tomlinson out for almost all of the game, Phillip Rivers - who had a fantastic game and right when I prepared to hate on him comes through in a big way - went down in the third quarter, Antonio Gates, who is obviously in extreme discomfort with a busted big toe and you add in the shitty officiating in this game I can not believe the Chargers end up the winners of this game....it is truly UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!

I have to give props to Phillip Rivers - who, as I mentioned I was ready to hate on, looked very good. Mike Scifres, our punter, had to kick 3 punts and each one was a BOMB and set the Colts WAAAY back. Our young defensive players, like rookie Eric Weddle who had an interception as the Colts were looking to score in the 3rd quarter, as he takes on an offensive lineman - what is he doing there in the first place? Micheal Turner who filled in for L.T. in fantastic fashion...some thought he would have been a great trade proposition last season but the Chargers elected to keep him...nice call. Vincent Jackson who, up until this game, seemed to be remembered by myself for dropping easy, wide open passes but came through with multiple big plays today. Cris Chambers who, the Colts looked like they keyed on all day, seemed like he only made big plays. And Darren Sproles who probably had the biggest play for the Chargers all day, a 56 yard reception to end the 3rd quarter and take a 21-17 lead and made the statement that the Chargers aren't going to give up.

The Charger defense had good pressure all game on Manning...they didn't have any sacks but didn't allow Manning to set up camp and pick them apart. Hopefully that is the same next week.

As I mentioned in a post on Friday, no one and I mean NO ONE gave the Chargers a chance to win this game. I watched the CBS pregame prior to the game and all 4 (Marino, Boomer, Cower and fucking Shannon (I hate the Chargers) Sharpe) analysts picked the Colts to win and fairly easy...they also said Cromartie wouldn't get at least 1 pick (WRONG AGAIN!)... watching much of the postgame all four of those fuckers seemed subdued, stunned and unwilling to eat their words... which I am willing to do myself and more than happy to do... I didn't think the Chargers would win but at least I didn't think they couldn't win...(read that line again until you understand it if you didn't the first time and if it still doesn't start drinking until it does)... and no one was even willing to do that... which I am sure will be the case this weekend...

There early 'word' for the AFC Championship will be how bad will the Patriots beat the Chargers? In week 2 the Patriots DESTROYED and I mean DESTROYED the Chargers 38-14. I'm not saying that the Chargers are guaranteed to win against the Patriots but the Charger team that is on the field now is certainly much different than the one the Patriots beat a 1/2 a year ago. The Chargers also have some pent up anger against the Patriots...first for beating the Chargers last year in the first round of the playoffs and then using them as their bitch in week 2 of this year... Would there, could there be anything more sweeter than a Charger victory in Foxboro this weekend against the Patriots - snapping their undefeated march?

As much as Shawne Merriman catches shit for his (which even I think is gay) 'lights out' dance there is nothing more than I would love to see the Chargers beat those cheating mother-fucking Patriots (who up until recently I had no issues with but really are getting on my nerves) and seeing Shawne Merriman and a bunch of cocky Chargers dancing on the Patriot logo in Gillette Stadium next weekend just for the revenge factor because apparently it wasn't classless for the Patriots to do it last year then it shouldn't be classless for any other team to do so when the opportunity so arises...

We'll have to wait until the injury report comes out to see how bad injuries to Rivers and Tomlinson are and of course I would think Gates will still be questionable... I was totally amazed that he was able to play and I think that his presence on the field had to be an inspiration to many of the Chargers...his type of injury (dislocated big toe) has oftentimes meant the end of a season for other players...

This playoff run by the Chargers is bringing up the memories of 1994 when the Chargers had to go to Pittsburgh and NO ONE gave the Chargers a chance against the Steelers in the AFC Championship and the next thing you know the Chargers make a 4th down stand at the end of the game and they are going to the Super Bowl!!! (Of course they end up playing an illegal 49'er team - over the salary cap but no one cares about that - and getting beat like dogs....but we'll remember the good for now...)

I have to conclude this post with the simple text message I have sent to those that sent a congrats to me today and that was simply (as I have stated a few times in this post and my theme...apparently) UNFUCKING BELIAVABLE because it truly was... I admit that I have no faith in Norv Turner or Ted Cottrell but they have already won 2 more playoff games (in one year no less) then Marty Schottenheimer did and right now... I'll take that and be happy!

GO CHARGERS!!!!!
