No reason to play Gates anymore.
sdutChargersAnother amazing game by Antonio Gates appears to be over. He's on bench being looked at.
They just threw up his efficiency ratings: 74 vs. Chargers, 96 vs. rest of the league.They showed it earlier. I didn't catch the specifics, but I think they showed that among his passer ratings against specific opponents, his rating against the Chargers is his second worst (before tonightPeyton continues to be snakebitten against the Chargers. It would be interesting to see his average numbers against San Diego vs. the rest of the league.). I think they showed that he has 10 career TDs and 12 career interceptions against the Chargers.This made me curious so I looked it up. Turns out they were counting only regular season games. Adding in the two postseason games, Manning has faced the Chargers 8 times before tonight. Here are his composite numbers:218/356 (61.2%), 2555 passing yards (7.2 ypa, 319 yards per game), 14 passing TDs, 14 interceptions, 79.7 passer rating, 11 rushing attempts, 5 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 4-4 recordThe record hasn't been good, but he hasn't really been that bad overall. He had one really bad game, in which he had 6 interceptions, but otherwise he has been reasonably good. The real issue has been that Indy had lost 4 out of the last 5 coming into tonight.

9 wins will probably win it. All the teams will be within a game after tonight.AFC South looking very mediocre this year.
fantasy?why are the starters still in there for INDY?
It seems like nobody pulls their starters in blowouts anymore. It has to be about stats.why are the starters still in there for INDY?
Yes and he is really playing like a pu zSo is PeytonReggie Wayne can no longer catch... ??
What?Rivers shakes the refs hand and says thanks for the W.
fixedOne word... four letters... starts with an N and ends with a V. two words ... starts with a 'Special' ends with a 'Teams'How was this team losing to the likes of the Raiders and Seahawks?
LOL...whatever you say, man.Rivers shakes the refs hand and says thanks for the W.
Lost in mine as well. Had Rivers merely put up a little below his average I'd probably win because I still have a linebacker to go. I'd much rather having a Chargers victory over a FF win when I already have a first round bye locked up.Lost in 3 leagues cause Rivers numbers were not good, but it don't matter...seeing Bolts win like that, and a Manning look like that is AWESOME.I especially like that Rivers played smart...took what they gave him, and as he said in the post interview, "took more checkdowns then all year". That is smart QB play.
