Are you high? Empty seats are intimidating? When I talk to Philip Rivers I’ll make sure to ask him how intimidated he was by the empty yellow seats.

I will agree that the Steeler D was not as dominating today as it has been against other teams, but it surely did put Rivers on his backside a few times, hurry him often, and generally make life for the S.D. offense, um, miserable.

Life for the Charger offense was not miserable. The defense played well for sure, but did you even watch the game? Your team had the ball 13 more minutes than the Chargers. You understand that’s on the offense, right? And that’s how they won, by controlling the clock and keeping the Charger offense off the field?

I also note that, if you’re going to make one offensive play in a quarter, you really should score with it. Time of possession, 3d quarter: Pgh – 14:43, S.D. – 0:17.

I saw the game, but thanks for reminding me, trash-talkin’ Steeler fan.
