RL. Some reasons we lost that game: "In the first quarter, after San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer opted to go for it on 4th-and-11 instead of attempting a 47-yard field goal, quarterback Phillip Rivers lost a fumble while being sacked by Mike Vrabel, setting up Stephen Gostkowski's 51-yard field goal with 40 seconds left in the period." "In the second quarter, Brady threw his second interception of the game. But once again, the Chargers were forced to punt after Rivers was sacked on third down." Next two are from the worst drive ever: "Mike Scifres' 36-yard punt pinned New England back at their own 2-yard line, and San Diego subsequently forced a punt, but Parker muffed the kick and New England's David Thomas recovered the fumble at the Chargers' 31-yard line." "New England's drive seemed to stall after Brady fumbled on 3rd and 13. Patriots' tackle Matt Light recovered it and Chargers defensive back Drayton Florence drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for personal foul. The drive continued and Gostkowski eventually kicked a 34-yard field goal to cut their deficit to 14-13." "On a fourth-down conversion attempt, Brady's pass was intercepted by Marlon McCree, but Troy Brown stripped the ball, and receiver Reche Caldwell recovered it." "Two plays later, Caldwell caught a 49-yard pass down the right sideline to set up Gostkowski's third field goal to give them a 24-21 lead with only 1:10 left in the fourth quarter. With no timeouts left, San Diego drove to the Patriots 36-yard line on their final possession, but Nate Kaeding's 54-yard field goal attempt fell short with three seconds remaining in the game." Nate Kaeding: Everyone says he's fine, but that 0-2 record with him as kicker are his fault.

dude your over reacting a 54 yard kick is like a 50-50 shot of a make or miss, its hard for everyone.

"The Chargers entered the first round of the playoffs but were eliminated by the New York Jets, who won in overtime 20-17. Rookie kicker Nate Kaeding missed a 40-yard field goal that would have advanced San Diego into the next round, thus opening the door for a Jets victory." 40 yards is standard.

They've always been a great preseason team, I hope this doesn't reflect the coming season. Lol, I remember how this time last year everyone was predicting the Panthers were gonna win it all.

But fumbling the ball 5 times isn't exactly a way to keep yourself on the team...

saying the bears jsut suck is ridiculous well i say the colts suck. its the same claim you can't say a team that made it so the super bowl sucks. and yeah they may have lost but i wouldn't call it getting their Equus asinus kicked. the bears with a better secondary additions of adam archuleta the health of tommie harris, and one of the best offensive lines is gonna lead them to a super bowl victory this year.

If half of the teams in the AFC were in the NFC, they would make it to the Super Bowl. If REX GROSSMAN can be your QB and you make it to the Super Bowl there's something wrong.
