As the first half of the NFL season flips over to the second, generally playoff races start to clarify. Not necessarily what all six playoff spots per conference will end up being, but you usually start seeing the front runners start cropping upáwhile other teams fall by the wayside.á The good teams begin winning the games they are supposed to win, while the under-talented overachievers have their shortcomings catch up with them.áAs ...

As the season passes its halfway point many teams are getting an idea of where they will be at. Unlike other sports with 80 or more games, the NFL, with only 16 regular season games, has the capacity for a season to turn on a dime. Some teams looking at performance lulls can develop unwarranted concern that makes them press when they need not. Other teams however seemed to have ...

As much as I love to read the A, A-, B+, report card style of rating usually seen around these types of articles, I just canÆt bring myself to go that route.á Instead, letÆs look at the various positions of San Diego on a more analytical playing field and see how they stack up sans grades.

The Giants are in a bit of a slide and did some foot-shooting to help out. However, this is the first time San Diego really has ...

This weekend bore several tidbits that make the weekend seem like a solid step for the Chargers. Denver lost for the first time.á The Chargers won two in a row.á Because of this, San Diego is now only two games back and are finally back over .500 again.á Tomlinson scored two touchdowns, both of which were off of actual runs, not just one-yard plunges.á Cromartie and Merriman finally did what they were ...
