Top 10 Chargers - Broncos Takeaways

 

Nice Waddle, Too

 

10) It was nice of the Broncos to turn it over twice in the first half, so we could have a late comeback to ensure trace amounts of drama

9) Throwing for 20 yards in the first half while giving up 19 in sacks is not exactly the way to establish yourself on the road

8) This was your second straight AFC playoff game where being a punter was physically hazardous

7) Manti Te'o left the game with a concussion, leading to some of the easiest comedy of the year

6) Most of this game had all of the snap, crackle and energy of a preseason game, which was odd, seeing how you don't usually play preseason games in the division

5) It only seems like every Peyton Manning playoff game has 45 minutes of close ups of him saying "Omaha Hut HUT!" (it's actually 55)

4) I'm not really sure how even Charger Fan actually wants Philip Rivers to succeed, given what a ridiculously petulant child he is, to the point where even opposing players have his moves down

3) Just in case you are wondering who the Broncos scapegoats next week will be, it's Quentin Jammer, Matt Prater and Wes Welker

2) Mike Novak is very good at onside kicks, which makes you wonder why the Chargers didn't have him do it more often

1) It's amazing that the nation's sports writers and networks don't have Manning v. Brady as a macro by now
