As I go to my blue collar job! wrote on Jan 22, 2008 7:22 AM:I feel good there are players on the Chargers team like Gates and Rivers! You sucked it up! You motivate the fans!

Tomlison needs to watch Gates and Rivers wrote on Jan 22, 2008 7:24 AM:It was the game to get to the Superbowl, Crying out loud! Rivers and Gates can do! Where was Tomlinson! How pathetic!

BoltDan wrote on Jan 22, 2008 8:22 AM:OUCH!!! all the haters of Rivers will need to look at themselves now... this guy has guts. He played with all he had in this game and if not for NORVAL and his bland play calling things would have been different. C'mon Norv, down two scores and you punt????

Gnarly Charlie wrote on Jan 22, 2008 8:26 AM:A running back on a bad knee is totally ineffective. Get a clue. Especially when you have Michael Turner and Darren Sproles. Why run out a guy on one leg? People questioning Tomlinson's heart are what's pathetic. He carries the ball over 300 times a year season after season, and he finally gets injured at a horrible time. He would've played if he could've.

Lets go Chargers! wrote on Jan 22, 2008 8:40 AM:Get better Phil! You played like a warrior! You and the rest of the team! All except that girl, Tomlinson! What is up with that guy! All talk, he is! Anyway, get better! Look forward to seeing all the real warriors next year! They need to let Tomlinson go!

Karl wrote on Jan 22, 2008 9:40 AM:Well said "Gnarley Charlie". Those questioning Ladanian's heart make me want to puke. Especially Deion who made a career out of trying to avoid contact at all costs.

JR wrote on Jan 22, 2008 9:47 AM:Very very impressive.

james wrote on Jan 22, 2008 9:59 AM:Rivers and Gates you guys played like champions. For those that are bashing LT, you sure make SD fans look bad. LT has carried this team year in and year out. You know he wanted to play and for you to say that, you are pathetic to the lowest point.

Charger Fan forever wrote on Jan 22, 2008 11:42 AM:L.T. for President.......my 8 year old boy was in tears and we talked about the pain in our bellies over the loss. But we could never fathom the pain in L.T.'s while he had to watch from the sidelines. He is our Hero....

LT is a lame duck ball players! wrote on Jan 22, 2008 12:58 PM:Consistency!

Hey James! wrote on Jan 22, 2008 1:02 PM:No one is bashing LT! He sulks too much! End of story! Step up and be the entertainer we pay you to be! Show me why we have you! It isn't very inspiring watching this so-called hero cry and sulk oon the sidelines! Move on and grow up! That is what is so pathetic! We have grown a nation of weak little cry babies from the baby boomers of America, who cry when they don't get their way! LT could be the Poster Child for that charge! Get on board with real football and or get out! That's all we are saying. Show us next year we weren't satidfied with our performance at this years AFC! Which comes too few in between to be wasting his time sulking! That is why we are upset!

Gnarly Charlie wrote on Jan 22, 2008 1:38 PM:LT has rushed for 3300 yards and 43 TD's the past two seasons! Is that not entertaining enough for you ...? He was HURT! Get over it. You can't play the running back position with one leg.

Hey Gnarly Charlie wrote on Jan 22, 2008 1:55 PM:Ok I'll give you that! Then why does he sit on the bench the whole game! Why doesn't he cheer on the rest of the team! I'll tell you why, because it is always about LT! He is bad luck for the team! get on borad a winning team attitude! He sure can cry and look like total fool on the bench hiding his face with one leg! So you get over it! He nees to get rid of his attitude! Who elected you King of all Charger Fans? Like you even matter! Go Chargers! LT Step it up!

Jimbo wrote on Jan 22, 2008 4:04 PM:It was a bad idea to play Rivers. He must be really worried about his job. A non-mobile QB does not help the Chargers, especially when the Pats knew he couldn't run due to injury. Playing Volek would have loosened up the Pats defense. It would have made the difference in the game. A few more yards on some key plays and we would be in the Super Bowl. Even Volek could have managed to get higher than Rivers' 46 QB rating.

Charger Fan wrote on Jan 23, 2008 11:19 AM:Congratulations Rivers. I was extremely impressed with your playing on Sunday and didn't know you had surgery prior to that. Now if you can improve the immature way you handle comments to fans and other players - you will win me over and get the respect like Manning, Palmer, Brady and Romo. Best of luck next season.

Jose wrote on Jan 23, 2008 3:38 PM:Just something to think about egarding guts and playing while injured...remember Stan Humphries? (QB of the 1994 Coach Bobby Ross led, Super Bowl Charger team for those who don't know about him)

He played hurt and gave a gutsy effort everytime and in fact played with a concussion. He was gutsy and played hurt until he his football career was prematurely finished with a severe concussion.

After losing Humphries, the Bolts began a decade long slide from grace coupled with unfortunate QB searches (Ryan Leaf). Those were some dark times, folks.

Maybe Stan Humphries might've been able to play longer if he'd have stayed on the side lines longer and healed up 100%. Well, didn't happend and the rest is history.

In my opinion, Humphries excelled at the no huddle offense and quick snap. The Bolts kept defenses of balance back then. We could've use a QB like him (or Air Coryell's Dan Fouts's quick drop back adn passing release vs the Pats. Just a thought.

Here's to a quick and complete recovery, Phillip Rivers.

eagles fan wrote on Jan 29, 2008 5:41 PM:the chargers suck they got what they deserved. philip river is a joke they juiced up his knee up before the game fools. he was playing without pain. as for lt he was only worried about not hurting his leg even more. he could care less about the game he only cares about playing in the future for the big pay day. lt only cares about the money when are you fools going to realize this.
