Jan 14, 2007 vs. Patriots | 1:30 pm

This is a tough one for EVERYBODY associated with the Chargers-- players, coaches, management, and as we well know from personal experience, the FANS.

The Chargers completed their regular season Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals with a 27-20 victory. It wasn’t their prettiest or most dominant win of their 2006 campaign, not by a long shot. But the Bolts again displayed a key trait that may yet deliver them into football’s Promised Land: The ability to FINISH.

There have been many exciting developments and story lines over the course this season of magic for the San Diego Chargers, but none of them is more important than this-- The team has become one that finds ways to win.

Generally, there is more than one road that can be taken to get to a destination, and that’s just what the Chargers proved in front of a national television audience on Sunday evening.

By the time Nate Kaeding put his foot to the ball for the opening kickoff, the Indianapolis Colts had already lost their game to Jacksonville, picking up their third defeat of the season.

The Chargers traveled to Buffalo for Sunday’s match up, but faced more adversaries than just a hungry and improving Bills club. There was the weather-- near freezing, and wet, with gusts of wind that affected the both passing and kicking phases of the game.

For those wanting to understand how the 8-2 Chargers could struggle so greatly against a 2-8 Raider team before finally prevailing, 21-14, all you have to do is take one brief look at the Bolts’ list of ‘Inactive’ players for the game.

Keep in mind… Of the previous 19 meetings between these two clubs in Denver, the Broncos had won SEVENTEEN of them. Some teams just seem to have another team’s ‘number’, and for upwards of a decade, that had been the case here.

For a moment, I wondered if somebody had slipped a tape of a vintage Bengals vs. Chargers battle into my VCR, because I haven’t seen the ball get slung around the yard like that since the days of Dan Fouts and Ken Anderson some 25 years ago..

This was the ‘Ugly Betty’ of football games. Granted, it is pretty much impossible to maintain a peak level of intensity and motivation over an entire 16 games schedule, and the Chargers proved it by coming out flat and seemingly uninspired on Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium.

The manner in which the Chargers SQUANDERED the game a week ago in Kansas City provided plenty of reasons to question the team’s ‘fitness’ to reach the postseason.

What happened with the Chargers in Kansas City on Sunday was NOT what the doctor ordered. In fact, it was exactly what the doctor had cautioned the Bolts to AVOID at all costs.

It was a game the Chargers were supposed to win, and they did. But it was so much MORE than just that. For starters, this was the first time head coach Marty Schottenheimer has allowed Philip Rivers to throw from the game’s outset.

It’s a bit like learning to drive a car with a stick shift transmission. Until you figure out how to coordinate the movements of the clutch, the gear shift lever and the gas pedal, you’re in for a very bumpy ride and a lot of stalling. .

Want to understand what happened in this game? I can make it REAL simple for you--- TOO MANY MISTAKES. Even good teams, which the Chargers MIGHT be before this season has run its course, cannot win games against quality opponents if they surpass a critical number of errors.

Sep 17, 2006 vs. Titans | 1:15pm

This was a game the Chargers were SUPPOSED to win, but you know how THAT works… Teams don’t always win the ones they’re “supposed to”. The game against Miami last season comes to mind as an example. A painful one.

It wasn't pretty. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing a dozen or so more of these 'ugly' victories. There had been some question about whether the Chargers could shake off the emotional toll of losing Steve Foley for the year

The Chargers couldn’t have hoped for a better beginning to their season than the 27-0 beatdown they administered to the Raiders last Monday evening. Week Two of the schedule has the Bolts playing at home against the Tennessee Titans, a team in transition between the Steve McNair Era and the Vince Young Era.

The game couldn’t have started out much uglier. Cletis Gordon made an unwise decision to return the opening kickoff from three yards deep in the endzone, and only managed to advance the ball to the 13 yard line.

Last week, Charger fans were reminding each other not to get overly excited about winning a preseason game in a dominating fashion. This week, we need to remember that a preseason loss is not a catastrophe.

Like most preseason games, the outcome wasn’t terribly relevant. Summer games are always more about charting the progress of young players, and getting a look at the rookies.
