Rivers - what a fiery competitor!

Leading his team to the wrong end of a 24-3 score against the Oakland Raiders.



OK, ok, I'm being mean - this loss isn't all on him. However, you can't convince me that Rivers makes San Diego a great team.

He's an average to above average QB on a mediocre team. I'm a Lions fan - I know mediocrity when I see it.

I would say he's a borderline elite QB that needs some help. McCoy and Whisenhunt have adapted the offense for him. He's playing well with a 110 rating. But, the O-line is in shambles. They're down to their 3rd string LT and LG. They've got 4 guys starting that didn't make a 53 man roster this year. The roster is very thin and decimated by injuries.

I thought it was a 1-2 year rebuild and I stand by that. I will give the Raiders a little credit as I thought they would be downright awful and they've actually been pretty competitive. But you can't have 3 redzone drives result in zero points, turn it over 5 times while not taking it away once, and expect to win. The fact that all this happened and the Raiders won by only 10 is pretty amazing.

At this point I'm hoping for a good draft position. Telesco drafted 3 guys that are starting. Fluker and Allen look like fantastic picks. Te'o is just back from injury but was around the ball a lot last night. 1-2 years and they'll be competitive.

The Chargers remind me a lot of the Cowboys; capable of beating anybody and losing to anybody. They look like a .500 team to me.

I do think the Raiders are better than a lot of people think. I think 7 wins is possible.

Cowboys are the perfect comparison.

Let me spell it out for you...

Two very convincing wins by the 49ers in the past two weeks compared to a un unlikely gift win and then a loss by the seahawks. I know you thought that after week 3 you had the division in the bag, but this is reality kiddo.

Congrats on your strong start, now its week 5 and regression has settled in. Don't be mad, its a long season, like I told you, and teams that start out strong, often don't maintain.

Yes, those were impressive performances by STL last week and Houston last night. Way to win rollover games against team bleeding confidence.

Nothing to be butthurt about.

My team is in the lead for the division and you QB cant read a defense.

He will the same liability that he been the past few games the next time they meet. Your best bet is that the niners win the division in spite of him.
