Packers Morning Buzz: Chargers were inspired to 'shut up' Green Bay fans

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with columnist Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times writing about how impressive the Chargers looked in thumping the Packers 26-11 on Sunday and how they deserve better than their nomadic existence in L.A.

Plaschke writes:

The Chargers proved they are not some running joke, but an actual contending-caliber football team that deserves to play in a place that appreciates them.

But that place is not Los Angeles.

It was a nationally televised wonder for the Chargers and a shame for the NFL, the football world witnessing Sunday’s most brilliant home-field performance coming from a team without a home.

Chargers players said they drew inspiration Sunday from their lack of fan support in a "home" stadium filled mostly with boisterous Green Bay fans.

Writes Plaschke:

They’ve endured three seasons of this nonsense, their failure to capture a Los Angeles audience resulting in nearly every home game feeling like a road game, their stadium overrun with folks from Green Bay and Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and Denver and, of course, Oakland.

“Felt like an away game, every week, it is what is at this point,” said Charger receiver Keenan Allen after departing the sea of green and gold. ”Yeah, just to shut those guys up, we come together as a team, 16 road games, that’s what we do … we know what it is.”
