The Chargers have the 4th best run defense allowing only 84.0 yards per game. But I'm not really worried about our offense at all.

They key to this game is going to be making Phillip Rivers feel uncomfortable and forcing him to make bad decisions.

Hopefully the fans have noticed we have an exciting product on the field and they start showing up to the games to give our defense the crowd noise advantage.

If palmer and his #3 wr core can do what they did to our sorry *** corners than I expect a shoot out once again.

Rivers is a better QB so I hope we have constant pressure on him ... I also expect VJax to have a career day

If the Glazers would learn how to market a team more fans would show up. Martin had a historic day on Sunday, why aren't we seeing commercials showcasing this special day in franchise history and making RJ look like the place to be on Sundays. We've had a lot of star performances this year (Martin, Freeman, Jackson, MW19 catches, David) that the Bucs could make look like "rock stars". The biggest complaint, other than the economy, regarding not selling tickets was the departure of Brooks, Sapp, etc.... and the fans didn't know who these new guys were so there wasn't the same excitement. We now have a new cast of stars and the Glazers need to help them become household names.

I gotta agree with that!

Anybody check out the SD forum? I don't think their fans watch the games lol. They are claiming that their run D is awful, but they are ranked 4th in the league, and that their pass D is elite even though they are ranked 18th. California sports fans make me laugh!

I didnt know anyone was even in there

Yea this will be a shoot out day, I see free with a 4oo yard game possibly 1 int (hope not) but I see a big day but we gotta play 6o mins and stop letting up!

[walkergodeep]

Plz fix this horrible pass defense

[aecon13]

Holy ****, we get it. Our 7th rounder and undrafted rookie CB's are not playing like hall of famers! Are we going to hear this negativity from you 3 all week?

[bucc4life]

^^^ yup. Your gonna have to put a lot of buc fans on ignore if you can't handle it lmao

And that undrafted free agent rookie corner has been out performing Wright,Biggers and Lewis FCKIN PATHITIC hopefully Schiano has that group play a bit better or we wont be making a run at the playoffs

What are you rallying the troops or something?

I forgot, you're the offseason/draft expert. Why don't you tell us the grand scheme for turning our secondary around? I can't wait to hear your genius assessment.

Not a lot, just the 3 of you. Do everyone a favor and go into the Biggers sucks forum and debate it out with each other. Don't suggest any potenial ideas that could help. Just *****! We will be here talking about the SD game and how our team has won 3 out of their last 4. Everyone will be happier.

[TKiv18]

What are your suggestions fellas? Who should we sign off the street that will come in and instantly upgrade our secondary? All you guys have are negative comments; never any actual ideas on how we can improve. It's not like our $h!t secondary is some big secret that we can fix behind the scenes before anyone will notice. Teams are going to pick on our corners the rest of the way and I'm sure as far as Schiano is concerned, it's sink or swim. He doesn't seem to me to be a "panic" guy. I think he's completely comfortable riding it out with the guys we have. They'll fight it out for the starting positions and the primary backup spots over the next 8 weeks and we'll all know what kind of depth to expect for next season. I doubt Schiano would have it any other way.
