Chargers Lose — Out Of The Playoffs

The San Diego Chargers blew a HUGE playoff game to the New York Jets at home. In front of a sold out crowd, the Chargers offense were non-existense for most of the game. Costly penalties on both sides of the ball, missed opportunites and lack of rythym were the cause of the loss.

Seems like the stars just aligned perfectly for the New York Jets in this game. And here is why:

• The very reliable and the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL missing 3 field goals in which 2 were inside 40 yards.

• The most accurate passer in the game today, throwing 2 picks in a game. One in which the ball hit VJ on the foot as he was falling down and right in to the defenders hands who was also on his way down. You can run that same play a hundred times and something like that would never happen.

• One of the least penalized team in football commiting 10 penalties. Some of which were just plain stupid such as; the headbutt by Shaun Phillips, the unsportmanlike kick of the challenge flag by Vincent Jackson, and a facemask penalty. 

The San Diego Chargers, usually a pretty disciplined team, picked the wrong game to break out of their character and it cost them a chance to reach their ultimate goal, the Superbowl.

Being a loyal Chargers' fan, I will stay true to my team and be thankful for the exciting season that they have given us. And to all of you bolt fans out there — there is always next year!
