Chiefs Are Awful, Lose To Chargers

It's too bad the Chargers have already played the horrible Chiefs twice this season already because having those two wins so early in the season put the Chargers at .500 at 4 and 4.

Beating the Chiefs really proves nothing and like the first match up, the Chiefs really beat themselves more than the Chargers did.  The Chiefs fumbled and bumbled the 4th quarter away and the Chargers simply had to not follow suit.  But with the assistance of two defensive scores, the Charger offense didn't really have many opportunities to squander their lead.

But Phillip Rivers continues his poor decision making...at the end of the first half when the Chargers were up 10-3 and right on the doorstep to score before the half, Rivers forces a throw and gets picked off.  Instead of settling for 3, Rivers makes sure the Chargers got zero.

The Chargers are also fairly anemic on offense, despite the 31-13 score.  After scoring a touchdown in the first quarter, their only touchdown in the past 9 quarters, it took them until the fourth quarter for the offense to finally find the end zone again...against the Chiefs.

No, beating the Chiefs only gave Norv Turner a week to breathe a sigh of relief.  Now the Chargers are set to go to Tampa Bay and Tampa Bay is not that bad a team and certainly not as crappy as the Chiefs.  The Chargers still haven't beaten anyone with a winning record or even a team that anyone would consider even "respectable" so the Chargers haven't proved anything other than they aren't THE worst team in the NFL...the Chiefs and Jaguars might be contending for that crown right now.
