The Chargers fall in glorious fashion against the NY Jets this past Sunday and prove that they are a team that will be barely mediocre, as usual and as many suspected.
There should have been no excuses to losing to the Jets yesterday. The Jets offense has been mostly pathetic against even poor defenses. The Jets defense, still formidable, has allowed big games from high powered offensive teams that the Chargers are suppose to resemble. But the Chargers are what they are and what the Chargers are, is a team that is good enough to beat lousy teams but is a lousy team itself.
The number of offsides the Charger defense had yesterday has laughable...but before we go too much further, the officiating in that game was all slanted towards the Jets to the point of silliness as well. Two pass interference calls that went against Jammer were both bullshit as Jammer had perfect coverage and didn't even touch the receiver in the one instance. And there were at least two offsides where the Jets had clearly moved early, yet the Chargers were flagged with neutral zone infractions.
The Chargers were up 21-10 at half and couldn't score a point in the second half. Rivers looked completely awful and continues to be among the leagues top intercepted quarterback.
The Jets offense, with a lot of assistance from Charger defensive penalties, looked very capable. NY fans, coming into the game, were crying for Plaxico Burress to finally show up...while thanks to the play of Chargers Antoine Cason, Plax had 3 touchdowns and Mark Sanchez looked awesome...when he is clearly not.
No, my hopes for the Chargers this season weren't high and this only confirmed my thoughts on this team...posers. I've been tough on the media for labeling the Chargers as they have, but no longer, because the Chargers are who everyone thinks they are...non-factors.
