BoltTalk: San Diego Chargers Fan Podcast

Ray and Loren take to the air on an earlier night to discuss the tough loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football. We will go over what went right, what went wrong, what needs to be improved and where the team stands in the playoff hunt. Bolttalk will also have as up to the minute roster and injury news as is possible, and we will get you ready for the second big game in a row as the Denver Broncos come to San Diego. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails.

After a last minute win against the Rams, the Chargers traveled to Baltimore and did what no other West Coast team has ever done, and in thrilling fashion winning on a last minute touchdown. Ray and Loren will discuss another impressive Chargers win, the latest injury and roster news, what on earth is going on with the AFC Playoff picture (and how the Chargers can stay where they are). Then we will get you ready for the toughest game of the season as the New England Patriots visit Qualcomm to take on our Chargers.

Does anyone have any fingernails left? The Chargers attempted to give the game away multiple times, fought onwards, persevered, and in the end it was the goat of the game that kept the season alive. On a special Tuesday night show, Loren and Ray will discuss what was the nail-biter of the year, the positives and negatives, and what this victory means going forward, as well as the positive developments from this year's draft class. Before you tuck into turkey, stuffing and pie we will get you ready for the first of the final four crucial games as the Chargers head east to take on the Baltimore Ravens.

After a much needed break (especially to let our voices recover from all the cursing at the Miami game), Ray and Loren return to discuss that accursed game (briefly please), talk about the roster (who is healthy, who is getting there, who will play), and the changes that must happen in the second half. Then we get you ready for Raider week II, the Revenge. San Diego will once again play host to Oakland and its fan base from the surrounding prisons (and LA).

Ray and Loren finally review the Denver game. We will discuss the refs, the problems with the team, what this game revealed, the issues with the Chargers training staff and much much more, because there is a ton to discuss. We will also talk about the roster, the latest injury news, the break the team has gotten, and get you ready for a (now) must win game in a place where the last time the Bolts won, it involved Kellen Winslow and some cramps.

The Chargers have been held together by wire, bits of wood and good intentions. On sunday they might have fallen apart, even if for one game. Loren and Ray discuss what was a very poor game by the Chargers and what might have caused it. We will be looking at the roster, the mistakes, the exhaustion and what the team might need to do to keep going. Then we will get you ready for the biggest game of the year as the Chargers play at Denver on Thursday night football. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails!

Our 300th episode! Thank you guys so much, if not for you all, we wouldn't be doing this! Loren and Ray break down a game that we all basically thought was a walk. The Chargers defeat the Raiders 31-28 in a game that was far more hard fought than anyone could foresee. We discuss the good, the bad, the ugly and what this game means for the team going ahead. Your beloved hosts will also talk about the injury report (unfortunately) and look ahead to another division showdown as the KC Chiefs come to town. And we will take your phone calls and e-mails - that is what has made this show so special and we hope to have you guys be the big part you've always been!

What's the deal? We usually have R-Rated shows when the Chargers play poorly. Well because the Jets were SO horrible, and it is Raider week, that there's no way to describe either EXCEPT with curse words, so we are making this week's show R-Rated. Ray and Loren will discuss IN GREAT DETAIL the failings of the Jets, the success of the Chargers, the unmerciful injury bug and what it means for the next man up. We will also get you prepared for the Black Hole as the Chargers travel up north to the Oakland Raiders in a game that has been very problematic in years past. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails

Here kitty kitty kitty...The Chargers with a very short deck took on the winless Jaguars and defeated them handily 33-14, but at the cost of yet another player. Ray and Loren will break down the win against the Jags, what looked good, what didn't, and the continuing injury trouble as the team keeps losing starters and had too many injured for the inactive list. We will discuss some AFC West news, any roster news and get you prepared as the J-E-T-S fly into town. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails!

The Chargers are 2-1 and have an impressive pair of victories, but at a very painful cost. Loren and Ray will break down the Chargers 22-10 victory over the formerly undefeated Bills and will discuss the walking MASH unit that our beloved team has become. We will discuss the injuries, the next people to step up, any FA acquisitions to help and discuss what makes 2014 different than 2013. We will also look ahead as the winless Jacksonville Jaguars led by rookie Blake Bortles will travel west to take on our Bolts. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails.

The Bolts shock the Seahawks - when few people gave them a chance (including one host) Loren and Ray discuss the amazing game, the electric atmosphere, the impressive game plan, individual performances and what this means for the team going forward. We will also discuss the teams' injury trouble, and we will look ahead as the Chargers travel to Wings territory to take on the suddenly resurgent Buffalo Bills.

Well.....that didn't go as planned. In a game that looked more pre-season than regular season, the Bolts lost their second late MNF opener in a row to the Cardinals 18-17. Ray and guest host BigMike will discuss where things went wrong, where things went right (hint: rookies), how much Charger fans should panic (hint: not very much) and look ahead to the home opener against the defending world champion Seahawks. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails, and I'm sure there's alot to say!

The preliminaries are finally over, it's time for the main event! The Chargers ended the pre-season at 2-2 with a victory over the Cardinals in San Diego. Now they travel to the Valley of the Sun to close out week 1 with a Monday night showdown against Arizona. Ray and Loren will break down the 2014 San Diego Chargers' roster, the surprise moves, the practice squad as well as what we think are the strengths and weaknesses of this group. Then we will get you ready for the Monday night showdown and break down the Cardinals and Chargers.

If the preseason is meaningless, and yet the third game is the most important, should Charger fans feel more or less confident this week than others? Loren and Ray will discuss a lot of positives that came out of a 21-7 loss to the 49ers, whether this game should make Charger fans feel more positive or less about the team, will discuss cuts and who we think is most likely to make the roster and maybe will touch on the Tart Bowl where the Cardinals and Chargers meet, and this time, it's absolutely meaningless. And of course we will take your phone calls and e-mails.

Well.........that didn't go well. Does a game mean more or less after you get your butt whooped? Ray and Loren will see if we've learned anything more from the 41-14 butt whopping the Super Bowl Champs gave to the Chargers in all facets. We will discuss the good (which won't take long) and the bad (this'll take a while) of this most recent game, discuss what needs to be worked on, the injury situation and look ahead to the most meaningful (contradiction alert) preseason game as the Chargers travel to the Big Jean to face the 49ers.

One pre-season game is in the book and we know....slightly more than we did before. Loren and Ray will discuss our first taste of Chargers football, look at who made a good impression, who didn't, what this all means (if anything) and get you all prepared for the next game as the Chargers travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. And (of course) we will take your phone calls and e-mails.

Ray and Loren return after a nice summer break to get you fired up for another great season of Chargers football. We will discuss the latest news coming out of training camp, who to keep an eye on, who is making noise and give you our take on the first pre-season game of the season as the Chargers take on the Cowboys. We will also take your phone calls and e-mails!

Ray and Loren go through the 6 new Charger draftees, the class of undrafted free agents, the AFC West situation as it looks right now and take your phone calls, emails and comments on this. Please note this will be out last show (baring some big news) until late July/early August, as this is our customary break period.

Join our ring-master Ray as he keeps a bunch of draft experts in line as they go through the entire first round of the 2014 draft. In addition to Loren and Bolttalk posters, and draft nicks, Matilack, LBC and Duffman, we have on a regular to our Draft Show, Emory Hunt (@fballgameplan) the Czar of the Playbook and Booga (@BoogaP) from Bolt Blitz. Join us for one of the most popular shows of the year!

Loren and Ray return to the air to discuss the one position the Chargers need more than anything else, cornerback. We will also break down some names at defensive end and outside linebacker to keep an eye on. If the NFL schedule has been released, we will discuss that and what it means for your Bolts.
