Chargers vs. Chiefs - Oct 31, 2011.. 
 Wow, what a game? What a night ? What a season? What the heck? Ok, alot of fans want Norv's head or AJ Smith, some even blame Philip Rivers, the Coaching staff, the defense etc.. 
 But the blame is simple, and has been for the whole Charger existence, from the time of the Old AFL , to to the Air Coryell days , and the Boss Ross days , The Marty , LT days , to the Turner and Rivers days, the team has no mental strength, The team every time it has a opportunity to make a statement and erase the comments and perception of the General public.. They don't do it! Back in those Air coryell days with record breaking passing records with Hall of fame players like Fouts , Joiner , Winslow, Jefferson, we lose the meaningful games, back in the 80's AFC Championship against the Raiders , we lose , it was a high scoring affair , but we lose and guess what , the Raiders go on to win on of their Superbowl's.. That charger team was loaded, again,, in the AFC Championship against the Cincinnati Bengals,,, coldest game recorded in NFL history , The Chargers had or should I say Hall of fame QB DAN FOUTS throws many interceptions,, and the Chargers lose, well the Bengals lose to The San Francisco 49ers in one of the most exciting games ever, if the chargers were there it could of been a classic.. But What if? We should ? Sorry folks,, it doesn't work in the NFL.. NOT FOR LONG , NO FIGURE LEAGUE, NOTHING FOR LOSERS.. Bottom line you do everything to win, work hard , study hard , take chances , cheat, lie , steal,, fight!! I know alot of you feel play fair, but for those who played the game or any sports , you do whats needed, if we all played fair and square , then we wouldn't need referee's or umpires or what? It's true human nature to cheat or at least come close to the line. The Chargers don't do Any of those things mentioned, I don't believe they work hard enough , try hard enough , or even care enough to win. 
 Whats is really troubling we have some Great Players on the team, Rivers, Gates , hardwick , Mcneil, Jammer, Philips, Spikes , Novak, Scifres, but we don't have enough , it seems for every great player we have we have far to many bone headed players.. Like cason calling for a fair catch and just letting the ball fly over his head and bounce back 20 yards to give the Bolts poor field position. Or the Offensive lineman , committing season breaking false starts. The fumble issues with our star running back, and his predictable I'm hurt and I cant continue loser attitude. That kind of actions and behavior affects the team. I see a team that is full of malaise , full of show offs during pre game , and front runners when things go well. But when things get tough and the game is on the line ,, this team folds faster than an old tent. This has been like that since last year. We see a team that beats the bad teams , barely , and good enough but lose to the good to great teams. I love Charger fans , we all are so forgiving and often times too optimistic, dreamers ,, yea perhaps, its just we have been waiting for so long for a championship.. Alot of us, Grew up during Charger Power those bright yellow shirts , with the ' San Diego Super Chargers song!' Those years were rocking , I have never seen the city as excited as those years,, the Bobby Ross years.. making it to the Super Bowl,, That's wasn't a great team ,.but they played their hearts out and played beyond their potential, and many us knew deep down ,. they weren't going to beat those Mighty 49ers.. with Steve Young , Jerry Rice , and Company.. but we had hope until the first few drives and we were down 21-0 before you know it.. 
Then the 2006 game in San Diego,, the Greatest team we ever assembled , multiple STAR makers and play makers , a PRO BOWL who's who..RIVERS, LT, MERRIMAN , KAEDING, CROMARTIE, EDWARDS,NEAL,MICHAEL TURNER.and many others,, the bolts were 14-2 , home field advantage , the best offense , passing and running in the NFL, LT record breaking season, MVP .. We had the city excited.. but.. like so many times in the Bolt history , we FAILED! THE TEAM had one it's worst games ever , fumbles, asinine penalties and defensive break downs late in the game led to the worst loss at the Q' and the celebration dance and shouting match at mid field.. LT was so upset and heart broken that , ever since that day , he never had another good day in the Playoffs, it seems he was doomed or cursed to get injured or what during the most pivotal times in the playoffs. Recall the following year? 2007 AFC Championship in New England,, yup,, sitting on the bench with helmet and parka , and looking like he's crying or whining.. A image that still haunts him and our beloved Chargers.. Now ,, we are haunted by watching our favorite , prideful QB Philip Rivers , drop the ball and perhaps the season and any hopes of regaining the AFC WEST CROWN.. 
dont care the Chiefs are 4-3 ,, they are horrible.. Sure they shut out the Raiders , but the Raid had no QB, AND NO running backs ,, it was expected. The Chargers are now in the midst of the hardest part of the schedule 3 games in 11 days ,.. A game against the SUPER BOWL CHAMPION AND UNDEFEATED PACKERS , and turn around on PRIME TIME TV. NFL NETWORK ON THURSDAY TO MEET THE OAKLAND RAIDERS.. Its good the games are at home , But I dont see good results..The Chargers have no pass rush, we have a corner Cason or Gilchrist are getting tested and beat constantly, we have safeties that put no fear on opposing tight ends or any opposing offense. We have slow footed Line backers , We have injuries every where and players that make excuses when something goes wrong.. Rivers is a great qb, but is not getting the support he needs, he's running for his life , he cant find pass catchers down the field.. He's not comfortable with his back field.. blocking..We have special teams not giving up TD 's but giving up alot of yards and excellent Field position for the other team.. This team may still wind THE AFC WILD WILD WEST WORST DIVISION, but I don't see them beating the Patriots , Steelers, Ravens, Jets, Maybe the Bills or Texans , if you get them in the first round. But against the elites.. Not this year , not with this Head Coach , or general manager.. But, we all know Die hard , frustrated Charger fans,, when Sunday morning rolls around and we flick on the TV,, and hear all the talking heads speak.. we are gonna fall for it again.. But at least I warned you.. The Bolts , will play well in the first half , and or second half,, and when it time to finish the game , they wont,, they will commit penalties, fumble , or throw a pick. The defense after playing a good game for 50 minutes or so , will give up a touch down , or last second field goal and lose another close game.. Lets say this , they haven't been blown out in along time.. I hate to say it , the way Aaron Rodgers and the Pack attack are playing.. This could be a Massacre in Mission Valley.. I hope not , but  I foresee a long and frustrating season with our mediocre Bolts and our over rated offensive coordinator "Genius" 1990's offensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys.. But.. it;s easy to look like one when you have the BIG 3 - HALL OF FAME PLAYERS - AIKMAN, EMMIT SMITH AND MICHAEL IRVIN.. and of course the largest and strongest offensive line ever. oh.. plus a pretty good Coach Jimmy Johnson. Like a horror film the chargers give us cheap thrills and and when its over , gives us the feeling I should of done something else with my time.. Like watch a real football game.. or team.. Next Sunday , The Packers will show the world.. This is how you play football in the NFL.. It may look like another horror film come Sunday afternoon" DAY OF THE LIVING DEAD !"
