Chargers ruled out RB Melvin Gordon (hip, knee). Ronnie Hillman to make team debut Sunday. Kenneth Farrow to start. Both will play.

Despite the Chargers hosting fewer high-profile teams this season
So fans are supposed to pack the place to watch Rivers chuck up picks against mediocre teams from Florida? All that means is there is a weaker market for Bolt fans to sell their tickets to opposing fans, meaning 20k empty seats rather than those 20k seats filled with Pats, Steelers, Cowboys, Eagles fans.
I used to blame the fans for being non-supportive scumbags and selling tickets rather than showing up, or not buying tickets and taking the "I'd rather watch on TV" approach. After 30 years of attending Charger games, spending thousands each year on enough in-stadium beer to make watching them tolerable, hundreds a year on parking, all that...I blame the team. The team is a good/service and if you produce a shitty good/service, the consumer wants nothing to do with it, and certainly isn't going to maintain brand loyalty if your annual product update is shittier than the year before, which was shitty enough to begin with. Thats common business, and we hear the players preach "This is a business" when they want to get paid - it goes both ways - fans just look at this as a failed product they aren't going to invest in.
As long as they are in SD I will love the Chargers, get excited for games the first month or so until we are 2-5 or 1-6, and continue to embrace the MV site while it lasts because of the memories, and most importantly the tailgating. The players putting blame on the fans for Qualcomm resembling a home game for the other team, though, is a scapegoat for poor performance, idiocy (fumbling/blowing 3-score leads in the 4th/turning Alex Smith into Elway), and poor management of a failing brand.
Lowery and Barksdale have little room to talk, if any. They are critical contributing factors in to why it will be a Raider home game. It is a result of their shitty play all season.

Line crept up to 3 and is back down to 2.5. With how beat up we are and with nothing to play for I'm surprised it's not a bit higher.
I'd love nothing more than to take them out today and screw up their chances of winning the division.

I shudder to think of how many Raider fans there will be at the game. I bet it approaches 40k.
