Chargers Have Given Up...Duh

There really aren't many Charger fans that were even remotely surprised by the latest Charger loss.  Sure, it was another 4th quarter collapse that "good" teams would be gnashing their teeth over and contemplating what minor adjustments need to be made that would have turned that loss into a win. But not the 2012 San Diego Chargers.  I think the Bronco 24-0 debacle is what broke the will of this team and the 4th and 29 play of last week showed that this team has truly given up.

Sure, the Chargers will go through the motions of showing up to appear as if they are playing football, but it is quite clear that they don't care about winning or even trying.  Phillip Rivers continues to look like one of the most hapless and worthless quarterbacks in the league as he turns the ball over twice in the last five minutes...which the Chargers had a 3 point lead at that point.  Bengals go onto win in a very dull, lack luster game.

Is it all Rivers fault?  No.  It's a total team effort on sucking but it does start in the trenches and it is has been well noted that the Chargers front five is worthless.  Rivers has but a micro second upon the snap to get rid of the ball, flee or get flattened.  The Chargers are one of only a few teams that have yet to have a 100 yard rusher...not because they don't have someone that can rush, just that they don't have anyone to block for him.

The Chargers have all but packed it in for this season and so I am close to doing the same.  I was watching the game this past Sunday but was having more fun playing pool and hanging with my pals then watching the Chargers stink it up again.

Pittsburgh is next up on the docket for the Chargers and the Steelers could just as likely treat the game as a practice because if one thing is certain, the Chargers have no interest in winning any more football games this year and with it being in Pittsburgh, it will be a beat down.
