It’s Sunday, September 11th, 2011, and the first NFL gameday of the year has arrived! 619 Sports will be all over Qualcomm Stadium today covering the San Diego Chargers’ home opener against the Minnesota Vikings. It’s a make-or-break year for the Chargers as a franchise. With a stadium ballot initiative looming which could be a referendum on the team’s future in San Diego, never has there been more pressure for the Bolts to back up their preseason hype with a division title and a playoff run.
In their first of sixteen Chargers regular season preview podcasts, Craig and Dan look at the key issues coming into this afternoon’s game, the factors which could be the difference between San Diego winning and losing. We discuss:
- How containing Adrian Peterson could be the job of the Chargers offense
- What the Chargers defense hasn’t done all preseason, but needs to do now
- The players who could have a hidden impact on Week 1
Is this the year reality meets the hype, or will Chargers fans be crying for Norv and A.J.’s head by this afternoon? Craig and Dan reveal their picks for not only today’s game, but how they think San Diego will fare in the regular season as well. There’s more riding on the line than you would think for the opening game of the season, but so be it, it’s game time! Enjoy our Chargers preview podcast, and don’t forget to check back to 619Sports.Net and our YouTube channel for postgame coverage from the Q:
