    Hey everybody they just announced mike pouncey is done for the year and may never play again...unless feeney can tear it up at center and forrest lamp can come in and be a great guard we are not going to make the playoffs. Even with okung and pouncey we we had a bad o line so this is probobly the nail in our coffin. I cant believe rivers last few years are going to be like this!

    Dittos to Jim, Andrew, Daniel and Yikes. And, even though my heart still hurts by the very real fact that we lost the team my husband and I have devotedly loved and cheered for for the past 40 years (no typical San Diego fickle fans here), I still so badly want the Bolts to do well...be successful. All 4 of you made such valid points, it is really discouraging. Especially since it would seem there is no one great cure here. Thanks to each of you for your intelligent, well thought out, non-bashing answers. ⚡⚡ GO CHARGERS ⚡⚡. Mrs. Meggie Ulrich, San Diego, CA

    Here's the deal. To get to playoffs we need at least 10 wins, right? That means we have to win 8 of the last 11 games against a bunch of good teams. I'm afraid we're toast folks.

    Yikes, you are totally right, but let me add a couple more examples.

    5) Secondary, who the heck is Teamer and Faycson? Carson High School players? Why are they in the NFL? Opponents offenses know the Chargers are playing with 9 guys on the field when those two are out there. Tommy T, you have to do better replacements than that. Not Bradley’s fault.

    6) Get Gordon OUT! He minimizes the offense!! Rivers is free to do more with Ekler, and Ekler runs harder, faster to hit the holes, gets tackled and falls FORWARD, all the little things. Gordon might ‘look’ the part more, but plays like a wimp.

    Proposed idea: Would Washington take Gordon and a 1 round draft pick for LT Trent Williams?

    7) Why isnt Keenan Allen getting 20 Receptions a game? A is a stud. Plain and simple.

    Yikes you are pretty spot on....i knew tillery was a mistake when they picked him up. Although our o line was terrible last year we still did well because of the game planning. This year the game planning is a joke. Why the hell is travis benjamin still a charger? The strength and conditioning coach is a joke. The season so far....a joke. They need to get their shit together quick

    Here are the Charger issues as I see them;

    1. Chargers are getting out coached. Over and over. They know the offensive line is undergunned and they know that when they put Gordon in the backfield on Sunday....defenses are going to stack the line as we saw. How many more dozen plays will see this year when the teams know what we are doing? Is there no other creativity available to coaches?

    Tom Telesco and the Spanos KNEW our offensive line was not strong...as we have been saying for the last five years and STILL they go with what we have. We can’t even score from the one yard line for Gods sake. `

    2. Rivers has to get rid of the ball in two seconds or less. He cannot hold the ball until someone gets open. Why is that so hard to figure out?

    3. Are the Chargers happy with tackling? We know they also undergunned in the secondary thanks to injuries, but how can we make the adjustments?

    4. The defensive line is challenged. Opponents are getting rid of the ball faster, and it seems that even when they blitz it is picked up by the other team. Have you noticed Jerry Tillery getting creamed, and some games he’s been lifted off the ground by guards! He did have a sack, he is a rookie,...but it’s difficult to call him a defensive tackle.

    In two of our early losses, the coaching staff did not make significant halftime adjustments. Why? The coaching staff has had all season to watch film, create new plays, but everyone I know says “same ol’ Chargers.”
