Before we get to the Chargers, let’s start with the most important information.If you are still looking to donate to the fire relief effort in San Diego County, here’s a suggestion where to give:
The North County Times and San Diego’s CW television station are matching 50 percent on all donations up to the first $500,000 received for fire relief efforts.

As for the Chargers, they certainly did what they needed to in Sunday’s 35-10 win over over-matched Houston.
It started with firefighters and first responders from last week’s fires proudly leading the team onto the field. Then, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed that he may not flip a coin properly … but he must be praised for his quick response to the fires.
The Chargers had the game wrapped up for all intents and purposes when Antonio Cromartie recovered a bad punt snap in the end zone to make the score 14-0 just 11:22 into the game.
The offense was efficient, if not overly effective. Philip Rivers threw only 11 passes and LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 90 yards and didn’t even score a touchdown.
It all came down to special teams and the defense forcing Houston to commit five turnovers.
The Chargers should have little trouble when they travel to Minnesota this week. Then the schedule gets much tougher with Indianapolis here on a Sunday night, at Jacksonville, Baltimore here, then at Kansas City and at Tennessee.
That five-game stretch should define the team’s season.

I heard Coach Kintera say on radio today that the Chargers haven't beaten anybody good yet. Let's see what happens with their record once they start playing the Colts and other good teams.
It is time to find out what Norv Turner and the Chargers are really made of. After this week they have a killer stretch of games. If they can come out of it with a better than 500 record then we will know the real Chargers {what everyone expects} are back. If not the Chargers season for all intents and purposes could end during this stretch.
