Chargers shut out the Jets 31-0, played superior ball at all 3 phases with key players out with injury. But every win costs the team another starter. This can't be good if they want to get to the post season. In any event, let it be known Geno Smith is garbage and Michael Vick isn't anywhere near what he used to be.
Irvin got fined for wearing white cleats:
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin joined Ian Furness and Jason Puckett on Thursday and was asked about the all-white Jordan high top football cleats he wore on Monday Night football. *
Irvin told Furness and Puckett that he was fined $5,512 dollars by the league for wearing such cleats. *Apparently each team is allowed to be a white or black cleat team. And you guessed it, the Seahawks are a black cleat team. *
When asked if he would wear the shoes again, Irvin said he wouldn't unless he could pass around a money jar like you do in church.*
It's an interesting fine based on what Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas received for his illegal chop block against Calais Campbell. Thomas was fined $8,268 for a play that will keep Campbell out three or more weeks. *
In addition, the No Fun League fined 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick $10,000 for wearing Beats headphones following the Chiefs game. *The league has an exclusive contract with Bose headphones.*

Raiders to NFC West? Seattle to AFC West? Really hope this doesn't happen...
Reports: Seahawks could move back to AFC West
The city of Los Angeles has been instrumental in the history of the Seattle Seahawks, most notably when former owner Ken Behring’s failed attempt to relocate the franchise there ushered in Paul Allen and, eventually, a Super Bowl title.
Now, the NFL’s desire to reestablish franchises in the country’s No. 2 media market could have the Hawks moving again — but back to familiar territory. Seattle is a rumored target to switch divisions for the third time in team history, rejoining the AFC West, where they played from 1977 to 2001.

A report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio over the weekend claimed that the league hopes to move two franchises to the City of Angels “within the next 12 to 24 months.” According to Florio, the only three legitimate options for relocation are the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.
Of those three, the Chargers and Raiders — rivals since their AFL days — seem the most likely candidates for L.A. due to their respective stadium situations, according to Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole. The Raiders’ lease with Oakland for O.co Coliseum expires after the 2014 season, Florio reported, and the Chargers could move from Qualcomm Stadium by “paying a relocation fee that shrinks every year.”
But that brings up a problem for the NFL, which doesn’t want two teams from the same conference sharing a city.
One solution? Move Oakland to the NFC West — as Raiders owner Mark Davis has volunteered — in exchange for one of the four teams currently in Seattle’s division, according to Cole. The Seahawks, with history in the AFC, would be the prime candidate to switch back to their old AFC West haunts.
A move back to the AFC would mean leaving an NFC West in which Seattle has experienced a lot of success, cultivating one of the league’s best rivalries with the San Francisco 49ers. Since the Hawks moved to the NFC as part of the NFL’s realignment in 2002, they have dominated their division, qualifying for postseason appearances in eight of their 12 years there with six division crowns and two wild-card berths.
Seattle didn’t experience the same success in the AFC. After playing their inaugural 1976 season in the NFC, the Hawks made the playoffs in just five of 25 AFC seasons while facing the Chargers, Raiders, Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs twice per year.

Why wouldnt they want two teams in one city sharing a division? It would be an amazing rivalry.
I guess theyre tryna follow suit with NY teams being separate, Pennsylvania teams being separate etc.
But then again sd and oakland share a div... nfl wont be satisfied til everything is fucked up.
