The 2010 season for the San Diego Chargers is almost officially over as they fumbled and bumbled there way to lose to the New England Patriots. Like in all of the Charger loses, the Chargers are their own worse enemy.
This past Sunday the Chargers literally handed the ball to the Pats...the first time was when Richard Goodman, a guy I have never seen, makes his first catch and was so happy he did so, spun the ball on the ground...which would have all been great and cool except he wasn't down and no whistle had blown so the Pats simply jump on the ball and it is theirs. Thanks San Diego. The next ridiculous turnover was on a lateral to Jacob Hester, the ball hit off his hands and then went to the ground. Because Hester thought it was a pass, he stopped on the play...but there was no whistle, again, so the Patriots picked up the ball and ran down the field...it was ridiculous.
The Chargers had 4 turnovers in all, and despite all of that were still in position to potentially tie the game...but of course a 45 yard field goal turned into a 50 yard field goal because of a Charger penalty...but was missed by newly acquired kicker Kris Brown.
The Chargers are one of those teams that continue to have people baffle...people continue to think the Chargers should be a good team. You look at the stats and they are the greatest 2-5 team of all time...but you watch them play and it will have you ask yourself how they could have possibly won 2 games?
Chargers won't see an easy team until after the bye in 3 weeks ... next up the Titans - a very disciplined team, should have little problem with the error-proned Chargers. Then the Chargers travel to Houston and the Chargers haven't been able to beat even a bad team on the road (or anyone for that matter) so the Chargers could very well be 2-7 going into their bye week...and then their season should be all but over.
