I may not be alone, but having a pass rush is my favorite part of this season, so far, the wins aside. Also like that we didn't show alot of prevent D this past game. KEEP DOING WHAT WORKS!!!!

It's been 10 years since we generated consistent pressure on defence. It's so nice to have it back.

In the past, we'd have played the bend but dont break crap and hoped to hold them to a FG. now, we attack...even late with a lead...that's what wins games and it's fun to watch

It's fun to watch Rivers get hit over, and over, and over, and over again.

I would like to see all the pressure start leading to some more picks.

I was a little concerned that the defense was going back into prevent defense at the start of SD's last drive. They sat back and let Rivers have time and didn't blitz, I was like WTF. Then they got back to blitzing and got the ball back.

I agree that it is the best part of the season so far is seeing the defense so electric and attacking instead of letting the other team dictate the course of the game.

It should be interesting to see how effective it is against Peyton Manning...seeing as how he always had his way with the defense in the past.

Agreed. Manning is the only QB who has more consistently lit us up than Philip Rivers, and he's done it seemingly forever. It would be sweet not to get rolled by the SOB as per usual.

The one thing we'll have in our favor is that unless the Colts running game improves they will more or less one demensional. That being said the best way to defend against Manning is to having on the sideline picking his nose.

and not only is it sweet having an aggressive mentality, it's even sweeter having a creative DC who knows how to adjust. . . in the first half against san diego, i was concerned because our blitzes weren't getting there-- it seemed like we were mostly coming off the edges and getting pushed wide while rivers stepped up and delivered the ball. . . their passing game was moving up and down the field early on. . .

after halftime, we started bringing those delayed blitzes right up the middle from the ILBs, and really started getting after them. . . .

It would not surprise me if Nolan realized before the game that he could pressure up the middle but held off from doing so until the second half.

Even though Rivers was moving the ball with what seem to be relative ease their offense only scored 13 points in the first half.

I've been waiting for 6 years to see them have a pass rush! Watching the D-line sack their QB is the most fun part of football!

I remember when the Broncos had Bert Berry and Reggie Hayward together for 1 season and I thought -- finally they've got the makings of a good D-line.

But, then they let them both go via FA in successive seasons and the defense never was the same. First it was the repeated fiascos in Indy where Peyton Manning tore apart the secondary. Then they drafted a bunch of DBs. Still no D-line. Then the Browncos came to town.

Then when they failed, it was a bunch of crappy re-treads like John Engleberger and DeWayne Robertson.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the defense knock the crap out the Chargers smack talking quarterback.

IIRC, Manning was also the guy who 'exposed' our last, best-of-all-time defense (2005?) after we were on a record pace for points allowed in a season and he lit us up. Hell, he was the reason we drafted so many CB's in the draft several years ago.

He seemed to get more and more quiet as the second half progressed.

I seen a lot of SD fans leaving early even when their were driving late.

Last year I was there for the final game and it was rough, feels good to get some revenge.
