The Chargers' first mistake was letting go of Drew Brees. I think now that they aren't in Marty ball mode, Rivers is being exposed as ppl have mentioned and Brees would've been the man for the job this year. I had always thought that the chargers shouldn't have made the trade/pick for Rivers that year in the first place...there were plenty of teams that needed a qb that would have given an arm and a leg for that pick.

Their 2nd mistake was letting go of Donnie Edwards. He was a leader for that team and it never sends the right message to lose talent like that

Then came the coaching changes. I agree that Marty shouldn't have been fired after going 14-2 but if u are going to fire the head coach, either promote a coordinator or bring a head coach who will work with the same coordinators AND RETAIN THOSE COORDINATORS. I actually give Snyder a lotta credit for keeping GW with the skins despite his numerous head coaching jobs after the 05 season. Even though 06 was a disaster, having GW here this year is undoubtably why we stand here at 2-1, with hope as the season continues.

Finally when making coaching changes that are so rash as to firing ur head coach and losing ur coordinators, i think an organization who has a superstar like LT should get his his input before it makes any decisions about the future of the franchise. People will say well, they don't owe him anything more than his paycheck...but this is not the write approach if u want to promote harmony and loyalty. If they struggle, like they are, u don't want a situation in which the star player wants out b/c he wasn't consulted and believes that THAT is the reason why they are struggling.

Nevertheless, things aren't as good or bad as they seem so i wouldn't be surprised if the chargers somehow turned this around and won their division. They are only 1 game back, right?
