- The three highest graded players were Von Miller (+5.8), Demaryius Thomas (+3.8) and Louis Vasquez (+2.9)

- The three lowest graded players were Shareece Wright (-3.9), Antonio Gates (-2.7) and Mike Adams (-2.6)

- While Peyton Manning ended up with more yards than Philip Rivers some of that owes to the work of his receivers after the catch. 213 of the 330 yards he threw came after the catch, compared to 78 of 218 for Rivers.

- Another big day for Von Miller. He picked up three defensive stops in the run game (12.5% of run defense snaps) and added a sack and five hurries on 28 pass rushes.

- The Chargers used three wideouts on 43 of their 75 offensive snaps. That was in contrast to 10 uses of 21 personnel and 18 of 12 personnel.

All game the Chargers had to scratch and claw for every yard and first down. Broncos were allowed to saunter downfield largely untouched on a bunch of plays. That Julius Thomas TD was just a lack of effort on the defense. I mean really you can't get him to step a foot out of bounds right there? It sucks, because this game was pretty close.

Part of the reason for that is Manning's NFL royalty status. I mean seriously, NO offensive penalties on the Broncos for the ENTIRE game?! Something stinks there, especially since I saw
the Broncos' OLine holding like a motherfucker on many plays.

Gotcha. I thought we added a guy I didn't know about.

No, other teams can have players that suck too.

The ref love for the Broncos predates Manning.

I agree that the defense look like it slacked off on that touchdown.

Definitely true. I will never forget the Hochuli game in 2008. Was my first time interviewing the Chargers in their locker room and I damn near got run over
by Norv and Rivers. Everyone in there was pissed. I asked Hank Bauer what he thought about the calls in that game and he said, "WORST JOB EVER!". I used
to be a correctional officer, and never felt as uncomfortable doing that as I did in that locker room after that game. You do not ever want to be in a room full of pissed
off professional football players.

I really hate these weekly "gradings". Total waste of time, IMO. We have more than enough stats to chew on without bringing these fantasy football numbers into the picture. It's really getting ridiculous. And sure, I can just skip them; in fact, I do. Never read them; don't understand them; don't care to understand them. I just see all the wasted bandwidth and have to offer my unsolicited opinion about it.

Carry on.
