SAN DIEGO CHARGERS UNPLUGGED VS CHIEFS.. DEC 28,2014

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS UNPLUGGED VS CHIEFS.. DEC 28,2014..
   Congratulations to the San Diego Chargers having another 9-7 winning record, But after starting 5-1 and at one point standing at 8-4 , a 9-7 finish is more disappointing than anything else,, why? Because all they had to do was have a 500 record in the month of December , which was done in years past . But? They were unable to finish the deal and because of that they are fans instead of participants in the Superbowl tournament.. 
   Problems with the chargers, you have to stop people.. not only on defense, but on offense, you must protect your quarterback.. 7 sacks,, oh my goodness, no wonder they lost. Every hit took the energy and confidence needed to win. They the chiefs kicked the chargers butt with strong pass rush and covering the wide out and tight ends,, like a blanket, But what was the most disappointing was Frank reichs play calling.. How do you run 4th and 1 with a runner who barely averages 2.2 yards a carry anyways.. If the chargers were going to lose,, lose by throwing the ball. with gates,floyd and royal and even inman.. why not? But the chargers chose to be a power running team against a defensive line that has pro bowlers all over the place, now? Go figure that one out? Lets face it the chargers were out coached , were outplayed and they were kicked to the curb by a 2nd string quarterback , and a offense that had no wide outs with a touch down.. now that's embarrassing ,, But if the charger fans think that's okay, Then that's why the chargers Will never be winners , if they continue to look for bargain basement coaches, bargain basement lineman,, and over paying for a running back that had one good year out of 5.. Yes, The Mathews experiment is over. He did give us some great moments when he was healthy, But he has missed over a season worth of games and for a every down running back,, with big money.. The Chargers and their fans did not get their return on their investment,which is very sad, just watching him on the sideline was sickening , especially they had a undrafted , small but tough runner in Branden Oliver.. I admire that kid, because he gave it his all and was ready to roll all year long.. We need players like that.. 
  This is the NFL - THE NO FAIR LEAGUE.. you have to find players , play makers play breakers and bad asses to be on you team..
   Just look at all the contenders in the super bowl tournament , each team has a attitude guy a play maker a bad ass that dictates their offense or defense... The hawks with Sherman, Chancellor and on offense ,wilson and lynch.. Those types make up the attitude and emotions of the team.. We need that on the chargers.. Allen was the guy , but when he git hurt , the bolts lost their mojo.. As much as I like Ingraham and teo,, we need more aggressive line backers and pass rushers.. We need a mean and masty nose tackle that can dictate and own the line.. We just have guys .. right now.. the chargers really need to look in the draft or free agency and get these types.. because without a Strong line,, your team is doomed and that's what happened to the chargers.. The losses to the Chiefs, Patriots and Broncos lost for a reason, they just didn't have the bad asses other teams fear.. Until that happens.. the recent trend of 8-8 to 9-7 records will continue.. ? The formula is out there to follow, but do the chargers have the money , the desire or the passion to make those deals and perhaps go after players with questionable ethics or thinking. Football is a war , its fight within a fight,, you need guys that are crazy enough to risk life and limb to  win.. I know it sounds barbaric, but that's football, we have seen many times the hardest working, with the most heart beat out the talented teams.. Like the New Your Giants beating the mighty patriots twice.. or the Buccaneers destroying the raiders back in the day or the Rams or saints winning when they were once upon a time losers.. It can happen, but yuo need a attitude coach with attitude players.. But chances are based on history ,, the chargers will not sign or resign players like Vincent Jackson , or Rodney Harrison, or drew brees or darren sproles, because they think tey can find a replacement.. Guess what? fans.. those guys were never replaced,, in facat those are the weaknesses the team still has since they left,,,  A bad ass safety that can hit , a true number one wide out , a spectacular special teams and 3rd dpwn back and a Superbowl winning quarterback that was loved by his team mates and loyal fans.. Why? Money ? conflicts of interest ? Personality conflicts.. ? or did  they know the chargers weren't going to pay them the right amount for their services regardless of what they had done.. and that's a shame on the chargers, because the fans are tired of being 8-8 - 9-7 , or winning divisions and only to lose at home,, when everything on their side,, The charger climate is average, we need guys from big time schools with big time attitudes to infuse this team with desire and passion. I know the chargers have found some diamonds in the rough,, but history and trends say,, your going to find big time players from big time schools and conferences.. The chargers were unplugged because they just didn't have the man power to beat the elites this year. No fault to the players they played as well  as they could, its just they are not tough enough, big enough .. the culture of the chargers need to change because time is running out on the Rivers and gates connection,, 2- 4 years maybe,, We have seen how long other teams have struggled without a franchise qb.. the chargers are getting near that point.. So roll the dice and spend the $ to protect rivers and run block for the new big beast runner , like a lynch, or lacy , or Murray of the cowboys or even the Murray of the raiders..  You have to have the big three on offense , QB, RUNNING BACK AND WIDE OUT.. if you look around the league , all the top teams have that combo,, The Packers, Cowboys, Seahawks, Steelers, , Bengals ,Broncos ,  have that and are my SUPER BOWL PICKS TO WIN IT ALL. THE other teams Colts, Ravens, Cardinals, Panthers, have two of the big 3 and see all of them finally losing out .. the Chargers have the QB.. GTHE WIDE OUT IN ALLEN,, AND GATES, but don't have that big back .. until then... the trend of 9-7 seasons Will continue and no trips to tournament will continue.. Its a formula that is tried and true , but do the chargers have the desire ...$ the money room and the passion to make difficult decisions... if they can and if they have a head coach that can manage the ego's of great players and get others to play better than they are.. Then the Chargers may some day in the Big Game.. But based on the history of te chargers.. Only once the Boss Ross years,, did they make that big run to the big game. Its seems the management team with their ego's , pride and certain code of ethics,, they may have a team of character, but lack the characters that can create magic and desire among players like a Antonio Brown or Bell of the steelers, or a ego maniacs like lynch and Sherman.. Having a winning attitude takes guts, takes desire , takes pride and also takes a fearless approach.. The chargers need some of those players for teams that will say, you need to account for that guy.. If and when the chargers do that.. Then expect the chargers to be unplugged in big games in the regular or post season games in the futures because they lack that x - factor player that makes opposing coaches having sleepless nights.. 
  Bottomline- I was not satisfied or pleased with the ending especially when the team was 5-1 and 8-4 and one points of the season.. When it mattered the most, the chargers weren't there?? That's why they finished 9-7 , one game better than 500. lack of consistency on all phases and not having that big time runner is so evident. Oliver did what he could and I like his play style,, but he's more of sproles like 3rd down back or change up back, not a trusted every down back that tried ot make him.. But at least he tried, unlike cryan ryan mathews.. The chargers have a long off season to make the right moves. and Lets hope they do.. of expect another suspenseful, dramatic and inconsistent year with a predictable finish,,, Time is running out with Rivers regime, take advantage, because finding that franchise qb,, may take another decade to find and more seasons of mediocrity will be in store and that would be truly a unplugging experience.. 
  Looking forward to the NFL DRAFT and free agent signings.. and the healing up of the play makers for the chargers.. Because they will need all players to pay their best as I predict the AFC west will be the most competitive division next year with the Broncos and Chiefs remaining strong and the raiders finally looking like they are heading in the right direction.. Especially if they get that  coach with a winning attitude .. Could Rex Ryan be the saviour of the raiders,, He fits the mold and could be the missing piece for this team that need to be back in the NFL conversation. Have a great year and a Happy New one.. !!
