Pretty much all has been written and said about the Chargers-Broncos season-ending game at San Diego. Just wanted to say how "Super" the performance was by the Bolts.
Philip Rivers played a darn-near perfect game. On the way, he shattered Dan Fouts' 1981 club record of season touchdown passes, finishing with 34 and along the way posted the NFL highest pass rating for the season. That was significant in its own right since he was the leading passer for just about the entire season. (Got to be honest though, a handful of times during 2008 I proclaimed that it didn't mean anything when he'd fumble since that doesn't factor in).
Great to see LaDainian Tomlinson finish on a strong note with three TD's and nearly 100 yards in three quarters of action.
People can take their shots at San Diego's 8-8 record. Fine with me, but I've said all year Denver was a fraud. Among other things, the Broncos finished 0-8 Against The Spread at Home this year. Horrible!
Anyway, it's great to get another division title. Four in five years now for the Bolts. If they lose to the Colts in the Wild Card, so be it. No shame there. I'm just happy with the division success and of course sweeping the Raiders.
