But now we have San Diego next and the last time these teams met the Bolts handed the Bengals an embarrassing loss at home in the playoffs.

This won't be a second year QB playing on one of the worst teams in the league. Instead we have Rivers, a crafty QB with some decent weapons and a defense to boot. Rivers is coming off a very good game.

On defense we're going to need to keep that fire going and we'll have to defense the TE position, something we historically have had difficulty with. San Diego is one of those teams that knows how to use a TE very well and even though Gates is suspended, they've got a decent backup at the position. More pressure on the QB would be nice.

But, I welcome the day our QB throws 2 picks, one a pick 6 I believe and we say Dalton had a very good game.

Just saying.

But yeah, when isn't Hill apart of the game plan? lol

21/23 (91.3% completion), 249 yards, and 2 TD throws. The Chargers had 6 2nd half drives, 1 ended with a Gordon fumble, 1 of them was 2 kneel downs to end the game, and they scored on the other 4, including 3 straight touchdown drives. Such a ridiculous comeback.

Scanning over Andy's multi-INT games, the only things I can think of that were close were either ties or losses.

Against Carolina he threw a pair of picks and then the team had to come from behind and Andy threw a TD pass after that and had a good game overall. Against Chicago in 2013 he threw 2 1st half picks but ended the game with very respectable numbers. I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that Andy had a good game in both of those, so the pick 6 clause isn't in there but the fanbase has given Andy credit when he deserved it, even on the days where he throws some interceptions.

It's not easy to find games that fit the criteria though, as with all NFL QBs, it's not real easy to find games where a guy throws multiple interceptions and ends up having a "good game". I figured I'd try to find some though because there had to be a game or two that fit the bill.

The Bucs game a year ago also was a game AD came back.

I agree about Rivers and I said so myself with my original post in this thread.

I know it's early, but this team acts like it knows something special is possible this year, and they want it. Listening to Jeremy talk about Andy's leadership on the field didn't sound like regular PC player-talk to appease the front office with the media. He sounded genuine. 

I want to see more PJ Dawson this week though.
