Manning is going to be able to pass all day on our deflated secondary. No Flowers or Verrett means we have to start Richard Marshall and Shareece Wright both of which played against the Broncos last season. The chargers best pass coverage will be pressure on Manning, if SD can't get to Peyton it's going to look like another blowout. Offensively the Bolts NEED to control the clock and pick up all their 3rd and short conversions to have a chance. The formula is there, but I fear injuries will take their toll eventually and the Broncos still win this game. I hope I gave a fair analysis and best of luck to you guys on thursday(although I think the Bolts need the luck more)

Welcome. McCoy may have had their number in Denver last year but Denver caught on to their game plan in the playoffs, so I would not say McCoy has Denver's number. But good analysis, I would add that chargers need to get pressure with DL and not sending blitzes.

Wow! That's a substantial raise for Bibbs. He should send the Bills a thank you card.

You'll get no argument from me that the Chargers always play Denver tough. I think the Broncos win but I think the game will be close.

LB Shaquil Barrett did clear waivers and is expected to be re-signed to Broncos' practice squad soon.

Bibbs looked like he really made an effort to make the team. Not saying others don't, but obviously he didn't waste his opportunity.

# Broncos CB/special teamer Omar Bolden (concussion) + RB Montee Ball (groin) ruled out of Thursday's game vs. San Diego.

CB Brandon Flowers is OUT for the Chargers tomorrow. Fellow CB Jason Verrett is questionable (shoulder).

Peyton has to be rock hard thinking about that banged up secondary. We should come out going straight to the passing attack and be relentless!!!

Keep it in your pants; they blitzed a lot last year because of an awful secondary, and while Mannings quick reads and releases got the better of that more often than not, he came out of our first meeting with tape on BOTH ankles after some cheap (and late) low hits. The WHOLE line needs to show up for this one, both to protect Manning and to beat SD at their own game of keepaway.

After their TNF game, #Chargers will play 1 game in 23 days -- longest span an NFL team has ever gone playing just 1 game. Schedule quirk.

I think we jump to an early lead, get a little lazy, they creep, and we take off again. It's a division game, they are usually a little more intense. I have grown to like Rivers a lot more than I used to. I love his passion, his attitude, and his competitive nature. Saw a special on him and his family. Has about 7 kids and seems like a genuine person off the field. I'd like to have a beer with him and talk football. He's never in trouble and keeps a very low profile as well off the field.

I still hate him.

He seems like a very good guy off the field, but until he retires I'll hate him.
