2015 NFL Regular Season Week 7 – The Raiders vs. The Chargers: Halloween Comes Early to San Diego

Halloween came early to San Diego.  Hordes of Raider fans with painted faces and wildly bizarre costumes, descended upon the friendly confines of Qualcomm Stadium.  Friendly in that the host Chargers displayed the kind of points scoring generosity to the Raiders as one would give handfuls of candy to costumed kids on Halloween.  To say that Raiders kicked the Charger’s ass was an understatement and somewhat of an unexpected surprise.  I guess all those years of finishing last in the AFC West is paying out handsomely in a bevy of young draft talent, namely quarterback Derek Carr and future all pro wide receiver Amari Cooper, who combined to scare the heck out of Charger defenders.  And if the final score seemed close, it was only because the Raiders defense decided to take it off in the fourth quarter, well after the outcome was decided.  After all, the Raiders scored all the points they needed in the first half.

Final Score: Scary Pirates – 37, Hapless Chargers – 29.

Well if the game play was a trick, the Charger Girls were a treat!

Its the end of October and its still hot out here in Southern California!  Hey, I like warm weather as much as anyone, but c’mon man.  85 degrees and humid?  Its autumn.  In a month and half it should be winter.  But I am not complaining (okay, I am) because good weather means, good shooting!  However, a cool and crisp fall Sunday would be a nice change of pace.

The Charger Girls changed things up a bit and mixed the order in which their lines showed up in my part of Qualcomm, so let’s begin this week’s coverage with the Line Captains as they appeared before my section: Kayla, Tina, Tawnie, and Katelyn.

This week’s Charger Girl of the Day is one of three former Arizona Pommies on the CGs…introducing first year Charger Girl Allie!

Let’s begin our regular coverage of the absolutely fabulous Charger Girls with Kayla’s line: Rebecca, Bridget J., Teran, Roxi, Natalie*, and Angelica.

Natalie, a former Line Captain, has agreed to come out of retirement and take over the spot of Charger Girl Brittney, who has left the team to deal with some issues back home in Texas. We wish her well and hope to see Brittney back in the uniform in the near future.

We continue with Tina’s line: Karissa, Shelbi, Hailey, Aussie Angie…who’s from…Australia, Lauren, and our second former Arizona Pommie Whitney.

Up next, Tawnie’s line: Tyler, Gabrielle, our third former Arizona Pommie Devin, Bridget C., Elizabeth and Beatrix.

We conclude this week’s cavalcade of Charger Girls with Katelyn’s line: Colette, Delani, Jenna, CGOTD Allie, Jayme, and Taylor.

Halloween came early to San Diego as the Raiders came to town, metaphorically snatching candy from babies and smashing delicately carved pumpkins.  Someone should tell the Chargers that next time…turn off the porch lights and lock the doors.
