THE SOURCES VIEWS ON THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS 2014..
  Well the Chargers are 5-4 , after starting 5-1 and the talk of the NFL and the beloved city of  San Diego.. The Bolts  were the darlings, Rivers in the MVP talk, Branden Oliver rookie of the year talk.. gates the return to Glory,, and a defense that was tops...... well that was then and this is now..
  Enter the Oakland Raider game.. the Chargers were torched with 4 tds passes thrown by rookie sensation Derek Carr,, if not for the last minute pick by rookie sensation Jason Verret, The Bolts pulled it out barely,.
 Since then the Chargers have been exposed, beat by the chiefs at home,, and blown out by the Broncos and the shut out by the Dolphins,,, Thank GOD for the bye week,,
 But , are the chargers confident they can get back to their winning ways? ,,, Well here is something to think about , when the Chargers score below 21 they have lost all their games and when they allow more than 21 they lose them all? So the magic number is 21. Another telling stat..the Bolts are last in red zone defense, which means they allow the most points in the red zone.. Not very good and the reason why they are on a losing streak.. In addition the charger offense is not very good in the red zone,, they score from 20 yards out. which may be what they need to do against the Raiders,, 
 Sure the chargers are getting players back, but team chemistry may be an issue and yes,, Mathews is back with fresh legs,. but he got injured on fresh legs , early in the season,, so I  don't get that logic.. ?Ok.. Mathews was instrumental in last years run. But he wasn't hurt and the line was playing better and Rivers was too. But we all know things can change quickly in the NFL.. but the chargers need to use all their rbs.. Mathews, Browns and Oliver.. Use play action.. screens and even put a running back lined up as a receiver.. Same with gates,, he need to line up as wide out,, since,, Allen and Floyd and Royal have not been consistent, I know its not the norm.. but the season is on the line, If the chargers lose,, forget about playoffs,,  I know its only 5 losse's , but with 6 games remaining against the Rams, Ravens, Bronco's, Patriots , 49ers and Chiefs, the margin of error is even less.
 My takes.. The Chargers need to go 6-1 or 5-2 at worst, that will gibe them a 11-5, or 10-6 RECORD that will be good enough for a playoff spot.. 9-7 , like last year is not possible , especially we have the Steelers, Ravens , Dolphins and Chiefs , Browns all playing well and have good defenses.. The Chargers might have a better offense then all those teams mentioned except for the Broncos,, But the defense is the issue and may be the rest the way out..
  The Chargers need a pass rush and they need turnovers to help the corners that are struggling. The offense needs to be more ball control and go back to that formula that worked early and late last year. BO needs to be a woodhead type role and Mathews, Browns need to take up the tough yards.. And Rivers needs that protection and find those open receivers.. 
 Final thoughts, they have to play better and they have to get their mojo back.. the best way is beat up the raiders on the ground and air.. and the defense needs a great performance , so they have that mindset for the rest of the season. A big win Sunday will do wonders on players ego, wills and desires, as they make the final run for the playoffs,, they cant afford to lose any more home games,, so they need to win those and win out on the road and maybe lose 1 or 2 at the most to make that final run.. So in essence,, Sunday afternoon and on is playoff scenario.. now if the chargers stay healthy and everyone starts playing like they did early in the season . This team has a chance, but more injuries and inconsistent play.. Expect the chargers to be outsiders looking in.. and a 8-8 , 9-7 is a possibility. But the mantra.. One game at a time is what they need to concentrate, no one wins 7 games in one week , So This Sunday , Will the real Chargers that were 5-1 , or are we looking at the 5-4 chargers that got blown out by the broncos' and dolphins and looking horrible at home against the chiefs.. Its not going to be easy and with these chargers , they seem they like it that way.. When they were 5-1 ,, Playoffs , Superbowl etc was the talk, Now at 5-4, The media has discounted them and even some fans,, So the jury is out on the chargers and the final quarter is being played, If the chargers want to make a statement this  year.. Lets do it. Because this year , like no other year.. The winner of the SUPERBOWL seems a question mark.. Yeah the broncos, patriots , seahawks , packers may be the talk.. But we have alot of newbies in the mix , The Cardinals, the Lions, and Dolphins abd the upstarts browns.. If the Chargers are a serious contenders the winning streaks starts sunday. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwin!!!!!!
   My last view is this the chargers are a good team they have players on all three phases, if their is a weakness its the defensive line,, we need more pass rushers,,, to help Cory and dwight freeney , and the linebackers need to step up.. As for the offense, they need to draft a center in next years draft and another line men.. and if possible another corner... Because Flowers is on a one year deal.. 
  It wont be a easy road , expect some exciting games left.. Like the broncos and patriots at home and on prime time tv.. The Niners is a Saturday night game and I have a feeling the season finale with the chiefs could decide if they are in or out.. But historically that's how the chargers want it.. Like I said , the defense needs to play better and we need better production from allen, royal and floyd. and get that running game going .. If that happens.. ??anything is possible , but it all starts this Sunday against the hated raiders.. The raiders are hurting , they lost their two starting corners and they are mentally beat , they are  0-9 and counting and they lost the their last five last year so in essence they are 0-14- its been a long time since they won. Based on how they have played and their schedule its a true possibility they can go 0-16.. If theirs a chance , I see the Thursday night game against the chiefs,, but its a slim shot,, after that they have a tough schedule.. Based on history this year,, they almost beat the chargers , so in their minds and hearts , they may feel this is their chance to pull out a win.. They did it last year at San Diego,, so if their is ever a scary game for the chargers , its this one coming up.. THE NFL is really the NO figure league. Which team shows up for the chargers, The one beating and dominating the seahawks, or the one getting blown out by the broncos and dolphins and looking horrible,, Its easy to say the chargers have more talent and skill, but do they have the character , the heart and desire to win a tough game at home.. We will find out , and many things are on the line,, playoff chances, fan approval and the teams character... We all will find out and we are hoping the real chargers show up.. With everyone coming back healthy and ready to play,, Its PUT UP OR SHUT UP .. time ! Enough talk ,, its time for action and I mean,, Winning action football.  It starts Sunday, and I'm betting on the Chargers getting back on track and making that late season run.. and providing that drama and suspense they seem to strive on and to be honest,, its what true San Diego Chargers have come to expect,.. and those band wagon fans.. its ok.. jump back on and ride this team , because its that kind of year.. Why not us?.. I mean ,, it too,, Why not the chargers,, But the winning streak must start Sunday,, and get set for a wild ride into playoffs and exciting charger football. Until my next blog.. Enjoy your day and have a great weekend , day , month and year. We all deserve it!!
