San Diego Chargers 2014 Season Outlook.. The True Challengers..
The San Diego Chargers have been the true challengers , since they began back in the 60's in the AFL league , no one paid notice to them in LA or in San Diego, even winning a AFL Championship , gave them no respect so to speak. But one thing is clear, the true fans , the ones that saw them in powder blues and watch Air Coryell , days to the power t shirts.. you guys recall. those mellow yellow power charger shirts.. man those were something else to say the least and of course that disco playing San Diego super chargers song was catchy but not tough ..haha.but its what San Diego is.. a mellow laid back place where surfers, skate boarders, bladers, bikers.. mountain and road types.. would chill out.. But guess what true to form the chargers would always entertain and excite us and most times disappoint us, but we would wipe the tears and root them on again and again.. OH .. the heartbreaks, the holy roller against the raiders, the missed field goal kicks , the fumbles , the injuries , of the stars , it seemed for years the team of excitement was also the team of misery and heartache. As fans we would curse out the players , the officials the weather,, oh gosh the ice bowl against cincy back in the air coryell days was heartbreaking, the high flying chargers could not deal with sub freezing temps.. But we would root on.. The Bobby Ross days,, Boss Ross with Natrone Means and Stan Diego Humphries brought this team to its only Superbowl appearance.. and though they were massacred by the mighty niners of the day.. It was the only time San Diego got to feel the rush of a championship run.. They had their chances,. 2006.. the greatest year by any charger team and one of the greatest years by a running back in NFL history.. but ,, fumbles, missed kicks and blowing a big lead to the Mighty Patriots.. was disheartening.. and yes. the Patriots doing the Lights out dance was humbling.. but to see LT , rise up and challenge those guys to knock it off. showed what pride LT has.. that texas pride was awesome.. he tried to share it with the San Diego fans.. some or alot supported it , but too many of the players and fans,,, didn't have that fighting spirit.. kind of a shame.. because LT is a Hall of Famer some day and great player who by himself.. Brought back pride to the ligtening bolts.. he is no doubt the greatest charger ever and deserves all the accolades that come with it..
But to this season. My outlook is this.. Rivers has a chance to redeem himself one more time and with Allen , Royal, Brown , and Ajirotutu.. and a resurgent Floyd and some rookies sensations. I see the offense being even better .. Mathews, Wood head and Brown. will be a triple threat that the NFL will see in full force.. remember Woodhead was great at catching passes out of the back field,, the same with brown.. and Mathews is a strong runner that can gain tough yards and keep time of possession on the chargers side.. The defense is the question mark.. We a hoping Ingraham and freeney will be healthy and the new bloods atochou and verret will add some attitude to a defense in desperate need.. Teo' needs to step up and be the player we all expected him to be and the vets need to lead the way.. I like Mccoys demeanor and Telescos's style of selecting players that will fit the system.. It feels so much better not having nervous norv or ego aj smith to decieve and lie to us.. Its a new attitude and feeling in Charger land.. and it feels great.. Last years winning season and play off run was really unexpected and fun.. But expect a better team with better depth and play makers to give the Broncos a run for their money.. My prediction is Broncos will win the division.. but the chargers will finish 10-6- ,, or better and get that wild card slot and make some noise again. The chargers are underdogs and forgotten by many NFL experts, because Peyton place is in town,, and as long as Peyton is healthy ,,,, The broncos will be contenders,, but don't be surprised if the chargers makes strides and challenge the broncos,, and if the broncos slip up.. it could be the bolts winning the division this year.. As for the Chiefs and Raiders.. Sorry guys.. both teams don't have a quality leader or quarterback and play tough schedules.. I see the Chiefs having a 8-8 record and the raiders having their traditional 4-12 record.. Matt Shaub is a done deal.. he just there to mentor Carr and take hits while the raiders rebuild their offensive line.. same with the chiefs. only the chiefs have a better QB and more play makers on their side.. Its gonna be fun.. I cant wait until preseason ,, starts and we can see the future stars of each team.. and when kick off starts.. The true challengers .the chargers will go under the radar and make some noise .. But I know.. its the same old chargers , tease , tease and then displease. but I say,, this year will be different in so many ways.. We have a great leadership at GM and head coach and a player with great passion and desire in Philip Rivers and Company.. Only true blue San Diego fans can understand why we love this team.. Its a weird feeling seeing the bolt flags fly or hearing all the charger songs.. Its the San Diego pride thing , only die hards that have lived through the joys and pains of many seasons.. that make us Charger fans.. I know we haven't won a Superbowl, and we have attitudes , their time is coming and if I were you,,. Come join the ride this year.. It might be one heck of year to watch.. This could be the year!! or at least we are going to cheer like it .. Until the next sports blog.. Cheer on .. and Go Bolts..!!
