San Diego Chargers 2012 Playoffs
With an AFL Championship back in 1965 as their lone championship, the Chargers franchise has been searching for the ultimate justification for the past few seasons. The 49-26 shellacking the team took at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in 1994 only makes that desire for a championship season in the modern era of football all the more powerful. The team has come close. In 2004 the 12-4 AFC West champs took one step into the playoffs and lost to the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime in the wild card match up. The team has grown with LaDainian Tomlinson proving year in and year out that he is the best running back in the NFL and with Philip Rivers taking over for when Drew Brees left after 2006. The Chargers could not handle the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs in 2006 after going an astonishing 14-2. Last season a slow start marred the record, but the team finished the regular season strong and fought their way to the AFC Championship game before just losing to the Patriots 21-12. With plenty more playoff tickets likely to come in the future the talented team could easily find themselves in the Super Bowl again very soon.
This season at Qualcomm Stadium the Chargers season looks pretty good. Quarterback Philip Rivers has plenty of targets with tight end Antonio Gates and receivers Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson. With LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield the offense always has a chance. The line has proven it can hold strong and the young players have proven they have come of age and are ready for the primes of their career. Chargers playoff tickets are likely this season and for a few more with this kind of a squad.
The San Diego Chargers season was overshadowed largely by the Colts and the Saints. The team successfully began to actually try before the start of the second half of the season, most likely because the Denver Broncos began the season so strongly.
San Diego Chargers Background
In the end the Chargers won the AFC West again, this time with a 13-3 record and an incredibly explosive offense. San Diego earned the bye and the number two seed in the AFC with an 11-game winning streak to end the season. Phillip Rivers had another great season leading an offense that averaged over 28 points a game.
If there is something for fans to worry about it is the lack of a running game. LaDainian Tomlinson appears to be finished as a feature back, though he is still great on goal line situations. This lack of a running game has many experts down on the team, focusing on an essentially one-dimensional offense that most feel will fail the team at some time.
Add the fact that the team struggles to stop the run and is only average against the pass and suddenly the 20 points a game allowed by the defense looks lower than it should be. The saving grace has been the team’s ability to create turnovers, especially at the cornerback position. Still, better teams with more refined offenses could end the run of Chargers playoff tickets very early, after one game at Qualcomm Stadium.
