Wake-Up Call: Chargers Not Tough Enough Again

No need to wait until the last minute to go Christmas shopping for the Chargers. First thing this team needs is an alarm clock — and somebody to set it for them.

Game time in Pittsburgh on Sunday night was 8:30 p.m. Eastern. Nobody gave Ron Rivera’s guys the memo. Fire Norv Turner? How about somebody lighting a fire under the Bolts?

The only thing different about the Steelers first drive last night compared to Miami’s first drive last Sunday at the “Q” is that the Steelers forgot to fumble the ball through the end zone once San Diego’s defenders escorted them down inside the five-yard line.

Pretty much the same thing happened in the early going against Oakland on opening night and versus Baltimore in the home-opener. I sense a trend. Let me be the first to point out that following the bye week, the Chargers’ next game — a Monday nighter against Denver — is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

(not-quite-a) classic Steve Martin comedy, “The Jerk”…(caught some of it STARZ last night, by the way). The idea of the scene is that what matters little to most — or all — or us, means the world to “The Jerk,” his name actually being in print finally validating his existence. Same goes with the release of the NFL schedule…only in this case, you’re all “The Jerks,” and I’m the one who understands (correctly) that is means little….”The NFL Schedule is here! The NFL Schedule is here!” Yeah…so what?
