DEAR MR SPANOS..OPEN LETTER FROM FANS..

DEAR MR SPANOS..OPEN LETTER FROM BOLT FANS..
  Dear Mr. Spanos,
                              Good Afternoon, after last nights embarrassing loss on national TV.. Forget about the record 6 turnover by Philip Rivers, and the 24 point lead and half time and the worst collapse on Monday Night football History. The life long fans are enraged , especially after last Sunday nights game on National TV.. two back to back embarrassing losses. Its apparent its a disturbing pattern we have with this team. The Chargers make alot of mistakes, mentally , physically fundamentally. In the NFL , the fine line between winning and losing is very thin, the past three season the Chargers have been under achieving and mediocre. No playoff appearances and the way it looks right now , a play off appearance is not going to happen. Its not going to happen when you have a Head Coach that holds no one accountable , including Philip Rivers, and the River rants on the sidelines , i have seen personally attending several games over the years is disturbing and Ryan Leaf like. I understand you are a successful businessman, but the way your running this team is leading to no where. The fans are cancelling or not renewing their season tickets and the future fans are getting turned off. Here's the facts, Norv Turner is a loser , wherever he has gone , the teams have not performed. The Chargers a once contending team is nothing more than a pretending team with young and old players full of talent and potential.. Those words are not good in the NFL, where skill and experience and chemistry works more handily than a bunch of talented , athletic players. I hate to say it . but the Chargers are the AFC version of the Cowboys.. Both teams are full of expectations and goals and every year they disappoint the media and fan base. Romo and Rivers both have great stats , but their playoff performances are not even good. Both teams make mental and physical mistakes on a weekly , monthly and seasonal basis. The Cowboys have installed new coaches and its the same result especially when you have QB that are making mistakes and essentially ruining the efforts of the other play makers and defense. The fans are hard working people that want a quality product , especially if your charging high prices for a run down and obsolete stadium. In addition your threats or probably future plan to move the Chargers has distressed , disgusted and disillusioned many of the hard core fans. I still the see the die hards , but you are turning off so many with your business like decisions. It hasn't helped create interest and help your franchise QB. the release of sproles , tolbert , Vincent Jackson were a death nail to this offense. These guys worked well with Rivers and by adding Meachem , Royal and Mclain , Brown,. good players , but they don't fit in this offense. Rivers is a good quarterback that relied on Vincent Jackson , stretching out to make spectacular catches.. Meachem and Royal don't have that ability and Rivers is accurate but not laser like Peyton Manning style.. Those wins the bolts had over manning were mainly the defense making spectacular plays , or the special teams plays by sproles, not Rivers out playing manning. But you or AJ  insist , we can unload this quality players and stick anyone in there. ala. Tom Brady , Drew Brees, Peyton Manning.. Guess what? Those players are Hall of fame players that have proven under pressure situations they can win the big game. Rivers hasn't won any big game ? I'm not asking you to make changes right now, but I just want to see a New program next year. New Coach , New QB, NEW ATTITUDE.. The culture in the locker room is lousy, I don't see a team aura., I see a bunch of talented and potential good players doing their own thing. Unfortunately in the NFL, Team play will beat any collection of talented players on any roster. The Chargers have the players , play makers and personnel to become a force to reckon with , but the leaders in the locker room .. Rivers are not doing the job and the Head Coach Nervous Norv is not respected or feared in that locker room. But you decided to let go a beloved Coach Marty , and angering the teams greatest player LT.. which caused diversion in the locker room. Rivers felt disrespected by LT and Vice versa. But right now as constructed this team doesn't not play well together. You have a offense that has trouble blocking for run or pass plays. You have a qb that is inmobile and inpatient and makes bad decisions , not only last night but over the course of three seasons. He has thrown more PICKS, fumbled the ball more these past three seasons than the previous three season. I know he's putting up stats , mainly because defenses are playing differently at the end of games and the chargers are playing catch up after falling behind. Its a disturbing trend, and I don't blame those fans throwing their Rivers Jerseys onto the field and uttering their disgust and dismay. But its not our team per se, its yours and you have the right to down size the pay roll and keep or retain any players or coaches you deem appropriate for the success for the franchise. All the fans are asking are , at least give the team a fighting chance by retaining players that have a chemistry or sense of timing with Rivers and hire the best talent available , not the cheapest or economically sound. Because that way of handing this franchise is the reason , Rivers is pissed off and making ill advised throws. That's why players or even coaches decline to accept offers to play with the Chargers. 
   Lastly , I'm still a fan , and though I never liked the Hiring of Norv Turner , I will support him, wish and hope he can make the right calls to get this team into the playoffs, barring any major injuries this team will win their fair share of games,. the chargers have a weak schedule. But as far as playoff success, I don't see reason to think otherwise. Norv Turner has not proven anything during his 6 years of head coaching, other than he has embarrassed this organization on two successive weeks on national tv, and in front of the home crowd , the blow out surrender against the Falcons , was the beginning to what has been consistent this season. The Chargers are prone to make mistakes, they are prone to mental errors and when push comes to shove they get pushed around. The Chargers have a loyal fan base , but its troubling to see such talent and potential go to waste. Norv Turner is a nice guy and did win Superbowl's as a offensive guru back in the nineties. but he also had the biggest offensive line in NFL History and Hall of Fame players like Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmit Smith,, as great tools.. Anyone with that trio can win!! Rivers, Gates and Mathews,, are not even close tot hat top three.. Gates maybe.. This is your team and your city.. we as fans are hoping you make the right call. Its long overdue.. If your wondering such mid season changes work.. Back in the seventies.. Don Coryell was hired at about the mid season mark, and the rest is history. If you claim to be that owner that wants to win championships and bring to this snake bitten city that Lombardi Trophy than changes in coaching and atmosphere needs to addressed!
