Official Chargers Blog

NFL.com's Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Gregg Easterbrook, appears to be reading this ever so popular blog. He so graciously credits the Google “difficult schedule” find to yours truly.

Okay, Google "What Should We Call on Third-and-8?" Joel Price, webmaster of the Chargers web site, discovered that if you type the words "difficult schedule" into the Google search box, the first thing it finds is the 2005 schedule of the San Diego Chargers. Though San Diego faithful blame their no-playoffs season on a sked that required them to fly to the East Coast four times; the Bolts were 3-1 in those contests. It was at home in sunny San Diego, where the team was only 4-4, that disaster befell. And what went wrong with the Chargers? From the point at which they had played a magnificent game at Indianapolis to end the Colts' win streak, San Diego finished 0-2 and was outscored 43-14. Anemic scoring in the final two Bolts games is particularly puzzling, since prior to that San Diego was posting 29 points per game, best scoring pace in the league. Anyway, I sure don't want to hear "we should have been in the playoffs" from the Chargers faithful. No, you shouldn't have. You finished 9-7.

Unfortunately the only nice thing he had to say about the Bolts this week is a reference to the Charger Girls, cheering in the rain. I'll leave it at that. What a sicko!
