MONDAY, 15 September:

My San Diego Chargers lost to Carolina at home in Week 1 - poor blocking and tackling in the first half, and an inability to harass the QB in the second half - Carolina marched down the field to score the winning TD on the last play of the game. Merriman is out on IR with his knee. Tomlinson got banged up a bit.

My Chargers game prediction - San Diego 23, Denver 24. It won't be easy this week, either. The Chargers stuffed the Broncos twice last year, and they haven't forgotten it. A loss by the Bolts to Denver puts them 2 behind in the AFC West after two weeks. It's a must-win for the Chargers. Do they have enough defense to keep it close?
