Philip Rivers Fan Site

Philip Rivers had his first bad game of the 2008 season, but it was still good enough for the Chargers to win over the Raiders with a final score of 28-18. Rivers finished the game 14-25 for 180 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. Stats don’t matter to him though. “It feels better than playing pretty good and losing,” Rivers said. “It’s all about winning.”

To Rivers credit though, he was getting rushed all day. He had mad respect for the Raiders Defense. “They’re the best of the four we’ve played,” Rivers said. “… Man for man and playing their scheme, they’re playing hard. Some of it was us, a lack of execution, and sometimes they just outplayed us on a play.”

The Chargers are now 2-2 on the season and showing that they’re still one of the premier teams in the league.

The San Diego Chargers are traveling up the coast this Sunday to play their division rivals, the Oakland Raiders. Philip Rivers and the Chargers are coming off a big win over the New York Jets last week and will look to improve their record to 2-2. I like the Chargers chances this week to destroy the Raiders. Did you know Philip has a 10-3 career record against the AFC West?

Rivers is putting up monster stats so far this season. Only Jay Cutler is rivaling what Rivers is doing from the QB position. But that’s not that he’s all about… “I’m not a stat guy; I don’t get caught up in that stuff,” Rivers said. “My purpose and our team’s purpose to go win, and all of that stuff takes care of itself.”

Rivers best WR, Chris Chambers, only had 1 reception last week. Look for him to get more involved in the offensive plan, especially with LT banged up. The Chargers will continue to rely on the pass… afterall, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Chargers win 28-13.

Philip Rivers threw for for three touchdowns against the Jets. Here are highlight clips from two of them. One to Chris Chambers, and the second to Antonio Gates (this nice td catch put a fat loss on my fantasy football record… o-well, a win in real life is more important than a win in fantasy football).

Philip Rivers threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns, and the San Diego Chargers picked up their first win of the season, 48-29 over the New York Jets. Rivers completed 19-of-25 passes and had all of his scoring tosses in the first half for the Chargers.

“It’s good to win a game,” Rivers said. “We needed to win a game. I think you saw what this team can do and the big plays we can make.”

The Chargers are now 1-2 on the season. Despite they’re record (should really be 2-1), they’re still one of the premier teams in the NFL. They proved it once again on prime time last night lighting up the Jets on offense and defense. Philip Rivers and the Chargers are a force to be reckoned with.

Through three games, Rivers is still playing awesome. He has 844 yards, 9 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions so far this season. He’s looking like a Pro Bowler more and more every game.

The Chargers are at home this week and will host the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. The perfect setting to show the world that the Chargers “are who we thought they were.” The 0-2 San Diego Chargers are not down and out just yet. They’re still one of the best teams in the NFL despite their poor start. Philip Rivers has shown no signs of slowing down. His knee is holding up and the offense is firing on all cylinders.

When asked what concerns him most about the Chargers, Jets safety Kerry Rhodes said, “Everything. They have the speed in a guy like Sproles. He can go the distance on any play. They have Chambers, who we’ve faced in the past with Miami and who’s hurt us. He makes all the tough catches. And you’ve got Gates, who can’t be checked by a linebacker. So you have to do certain things to cater to him a little bit. They have a lot of weapons.”

Through the first two games, Philip Rivers is 38 of 60 for 594 yards and 6 touchdowns. He has a QB rating of 122.5. He’s been everything we’ve hoped for. Now it’s time to show he can keep it going on MNF.

I’m predicting a big-time Chargers victory. The Chargers are favored by 9 points (you rarely see a line go this high). Rivers is going to throw for 325 yards and 3 touchdowns. He’ll hit Gates, Chambers and Jackson. Spreading the ball around will be a key to victory.
