Football Why does everybody think the Chargers are so damn good? - Page 14

Every year, everybody on earth predicts the Chargers will be 14-2 or 13-3 and go to the AFC championship game and/or Super Bowl. Every year, they continue to suck and disappoint.

This year, they had no major offseason acquisitions, they are coming of a 9-7 non-playoff year despite an easy schedule, and they appear to have a much tougher schedule this year. 7 out of 7 NFL.com "experts" predict they will win the division, which may not be a huge stretch, but you would think at least one soul might pick the defending champion Chiefs.

But the icing on the cake is that the latest NFL.com poll asks, "which team do you think will win Super Bowl XLIV?" Our choices? Packers, Saints, Patriots, or Chargers. The defending AFC-champion Steelers are not even a choice. The Eagles, who had one of the greatest off-seasons in NFL history, are not even a choice. Even the media loverboy Jets are not even a choice.

The Chargers are clearly one of the best 4 teams in the NFL? Even though they couldn't even win the second weakest division in all of football last year with a cake schedule? Even though they lost to the Seahawks, Raiders, Rams, Raiders again, and the Bengals, arguably the worst team in football last year?

What, my friends, is so damn impressive about the San Diego Chargers?

they probably still have them playing green bay in the super bowl, i think the only worse prediction they make is saying the patriots will make it

I've never seen a QB go from good to just terrible in such a short time. Rivers just flat out sucks now.

The Patriots are way better than the Chargers.

He's been a mix of Elvis Grbac and Jeff George.

I've said it for the past 4 years. The Chargers favorite time of the year is preseason, because that's when every media member is on their knees for these clowns. It gets tiresome when anyone brings up the AFC West and they immediately think "Oh yeah, the Chargers for sure." when it hasn't been that way going on two years now.

The chargers don't even think about KC, they go into the season planning to beat the Pats and the Steelers to get to the Super Bowl, KC not even in the back of their consciousness (the truth). You are not a threat to the chargers, last year was given to you by the chargers special team, VJ being gone most of the year and injury to Antonio Gates, Malcolm Floyd, and Patrick Crayton (chargers top 4 receivers) and Ryan Matthews and still finish 9-7. With all that you still ask why everybody think the chargers are so damn good? i guess because it hurts that no one talks about the fluky chiefs( who got blown into smithereens in the playoffs), not even a special mention to contend and its sad. Sorry just the facts

The Chargers have lost four games in a row and they suck shit. Sorry, just the facts.

Now we get to spend a couple weeks listening to the media ask "Whats wrong with the Chargers?"

"They are CLEARLY the best team in the AFC West. They have just had bad luck, bad defense, bad special teams, bad offense, and bad coaching. But they are so TALENTED!"

whoman69 · 11-11-2011, 02:39 PM

I'm hoping they can turn it around in time to beat the Raiders in week 17.

I for one, wish to express my sincerest support for the venerable Norv Turner.

Long May He Reign in San Diego.

Has Rivers always had such a weirdly short-looking throwing motion? I don't remember seeing it before this year. Every throw last night looked like he was trying to throw a screen pass.
