The San Diego Chargers through out their history have shown they can't win playoff games--even when they're favored. In the last 4 years prognosticators like Chris Berman on ESPN and many others pick the Chargers to win a SB, but the Chargers can never play to their potential. The Chargers have talent, but their recent playoff loss to the Jets and their '06 playoff loss are perfect examples of their lack of focus, lack of leadership and inability to be smart on and off the field. A smart athlete doesn't stay out late partying the night before a playoff game, which is what several Chargers seem to like doing and a smart athlete doesn't get called for PF flags during a playoff game.
With LT gone and possibly Sproles gone the Chargers will have no running game. If an injury happens to Rivers, the Chargers' offense is done. Rivers the last few years has been lucky that he's had no injuries to reduce his productivity. I believe his injury-free seasons will soon come to an end. In the NFL, every starter usually has to contend with an injury every few seasons and miss games....Rivers is due. The Chargers as a team are getting old. Injuries will become more frequent...this "talented" Charger team is running out of time.
The Chargers had a mediocre defense last year and were mediocre against the pass--against the run the Chargers ranked 20th. Cro may be on the way out and Merriman has no talent left, only worthless trash-talking.
With their inability to win in the playoffs in recent years, the Chargers as a team are also losing confidence in themselves. Against the Jets, the Charger offense sputtered and had to rely on field-goal attempts. Then Kaeding (an excellent kicker) choked on all his kicks. All examples of a Charger team succumbing to playoff pressure and lack of confidence. The Colts, a supremely talented and confident team, who knows how to win in the playoffs....destroyed the Jets in the 2nd half of their playoff game.
Jackson can't seem to stay out of trouble and other Chargers keep getting in bar-fights and/or brought up on assault charges. All this is the mark on an undiciplined, out-of-control team. It seems San Diego's NFL team is correctly named.....Chargers = charges.
Norv Turner is just a "yes-man" to AJ and has no real power. Turner is the classic docile, "yes-man" coach---he was a "yes-man" to Al Davis and a "yes-man" in Washington. His only years of success were as an OC in Dallas, but a trained monkey could've been a successful OC in Dallas in the '90s, with all the HOF talent the Cowboys had at that time. Before Turner.....Marty had balls and wouldn't blindly go with what AJ wanted....so AJ (the control-freak) fires a fine coach who rebuilt a horrible Charger team into a 14-2 contender. The stupidity of Charger mgmt is beyond description.
AJ has current and former players who hate the way he runs the team and don't like his decisions. Rodney Harrison has gone on record and severely criticised AJ and other players have voiced negative viewpoints about AJ. This is why Eli Manning isn't your QB. AJ's mocking of LT in the media last year is a perfect example of his unprofessionalism.
The Chargers stadium has problems selling-out, because fans are tired of the inconsistency and playoff losses.
The Chargers had 4 seasons with a talented team to get to a SB and failed all four years. Two of those years they finished their seasons with epic playoff chokes.
The Chargers can be summed up with this sentence.....An overrated team with no heart and a team who's recent years of success will be ending, because of injuries and free-agency.
