Awesome...go colts go!!!

[LGA]

I can't believe the Colts are up, thanks Big Ben! I'm stoked and laughing hilariously at the fact that the Colts defense is basically outscoring their offense.

The Packers are getting the superbowl love championship treatment early this season and its obvious to anyÓne else, the Packers are the most over rated team in NFL

Actaully your weak bears are the most overrated, get over it and stop making excuses... just because you are led by Cuddles, who is perhaps the weakest most overrated qb in history... Bears suck, Pack rock...

It's also funny that good teams overcome adversity, excpet of course the Packers last year who couldn't win the division "because of the injuries" from what you said. So all good teams overcome adversity, except the Packers when their players get hurt

dude, go cuddle up with your Urlacher jersey and maybe try and understand the game before you spout off, you sound like a moron...

the chargers had a chance to come out and make a statement, instead they barely beat a horrible team. even Rivers who has been their most consistent player for years is throwing picks and not looking all that good. something is clearly missing here... if the chargers dont have the easy schedule early on, they might have already dug a big hole.. i have never seen such an "elite" team so mentally weak as these guys

I think we have a front runner for the Sore Loser of the Year award, and it's only week 3...

[Flickered Flame]

NBC reporting that Collins is out with a concussion. Painter warming up for Colts.

[Lil Pedro]

My Chargers played like crap today but still pulled out a win (luckily). Need to be better if they wanna have any chance of making the post-season. Oakland is scaring me right now

[Hockey]

Come on Steelers hold on here.

[valo403]

Caldwell looked like he was about to cry

[GirlySports]

I wonder if the rest of the Steelers' secondary ever gets sick of covering the rest of the field while Polamalu gets to blitz all the time.

[OILFAN #81]

Great heart by Freeney and Mathis. Unreal players for a long time. Defense played great but Collins sucked it up. Painter should be the starter, he made that bad play on the defensive TD but I am more confident with him then Collins.

Can't wait until next year, when the team is back in the playoffs.

Chargers fans: Expecting greatness and getting failure since 1996.

keep on rooting for your Broncos, now that is a solid way to run an organization... sure they have won 2 super bowls, but the Leafs have also won Stanley Cups.. With Tebow/Orton, you might have a dynasty in the making...

Sorry, what? I'll take 2 SB wins over...none. Ever.

The Chargers will never get over the hump as long as they've got Turner as a coach period. Start slow, win some games and make the playoffs. When you lose, AGAIN in the first round of the playoffs I'll tip my hat.

I was talking about our resident Bears fan.

I have sympathy for Chargers fans because they know they kept the wrong quarterback.

you can hang your hat on the 2 superbowls, those were great wins by a team with a lot of heart, but the fact is the Broncos have been horrendous in their decision for quite some time now. i cant argue about what you say about the Chargers, they are a team that will always find a way to lose. Do you think if they had Belichick as their head coach over the last 6 years or so, they would have won? or do you think it goes deeper than that? just curious as to your thoughts? i dont know if it is only Turner, is it his fault Kaeding who is near perfect in the reg. season goes 1 for 4 in a playoff game?

i dont think that is what has held the Chargers back, and based on Brees injury at the time, they made the right move.. even then teams werent offering Brees a contract as his shoulder injury was so severe. the Saints and Chargers were the only teams to offer him a deal

Yes. It was a talent rich team that due to terrible coaching never achieved its potential. Your San Diego Super Chargers should have won at least 2 superbowls in the last 5 years. Letting Tomlinson go early for petty dollars, losing Sproles, the Vincent Jackson fiasco, maybe I'm wrong. It goes beyond just the coaching and your GM is contributing to the mediocrity your team is seeing. It's a shame really, the Chargers should have been a dynasty and as it is now they'll merely be a footnote.

Fair comments, but LT was awful his last year with SD. Vincent Jackson gets a DUI on a playoff game day, it just seems like every big game, you get certain players who completely go stupid. one of the toughest games to watch was the game against the Pats in San DIego in 2007?? not sure if that was the year, but it was the game where the Pats were trailing and had a 4th down play. Brady throws it and McCree intercepts it and gets it stripped because he has to try and run it back. Just knock it down or if you need the int. as a stat, then hit the deck and the game is over. These are the plays that make cheering for thse guys so difficult. you might be right, a different coach might have weeded some of the dummies out by then.
