They lost in the 2nd round not the 1st round. They had a bye and were on an 11 game win streak. Lost by 3 points when the most accurate fg k in history at the time missed 3 fgs
@@jbkmjl Good catch, silly mistake on my part. First PLAYOFF GAME not in the first round. Thank you.
As a chargers fan this was a really frustating season
I can only image. The research for this made me realize what an incredible team they had. Injuries to key players throughout the season, statistically dominating opponents, but special teams and turnovers plagued their season.
@NotAnInsider I've been a Chargers fan 42 years bro, you have no idea! And nowadays you got these casual asf fans who say Herbert is trash! Dude has had 3 coaches and a bottom 5 defense his entire time there in 4 yrs!! Think about that! Hopefully Harbaugh is the catalyst for change!
It was also philip rivers best year but injuries, special teams, turnovers in the worst situations and the holdout of vincent jackson ruined the season
When was the last time we didn’t have a Frustrating season. lol
We just sat thru 3 years of Frustration with Staley😂😂😂
Just looking at norv makes me crazy
It doesn’t matter, if the NFL script say you lose, you have to lose.
No script. But the refs do give extra opportunities to teams with bigger audiences or star players, while taking away opportunities for small market teams
It's called play better 😂
Philip Rivers was criminally underrated
Overrated. As a Chargers fan, never seen more 4rthQ INTs than Rivers
You’ve got to be joking. Rivers was trash with the talent he had around him. In his 17 year career, he made the playoffs 6 times. That’s pathetic! He had a stretch of only making the playoffs twice in almost 10 year span.
@@heybrowhatup I judge QBs tape. 8th best QB I have ever seen
@@erikpuka2627 Herbert, P.Manning, Brees, Mahomes, LamarrJackson, Brady, Big Ben, probably Stafford, healthy Burrow. And I didnt search far away.
Rivers is quite Matt Ryan
@@thomasyeretzian4041
1. Brady
2. Peyton
3. Marino
4. Brees
5. Rodgers
6. Ryan
7. Stafford
8. Rivers
Of the 2006 Chargers I blame Nate Kaeding who kept missing FGs in big games during game and never as the last play. Put the team into more pressure of not having those extra points by kicker. The stats of ST of Chargers is on Nate Kaeding were one of the lowest and the KEY WEAKNESS of the 2006 Chargers. Guy was a head case and caught looking stressed hoping he not have to come in to kick, he never warmed up and just stood there while waiting for team not to depend on him.
Marlon Mcree just had to go down. Don’t ever forget that.
Nate the not so Great CLEARLY missed some of those FGs on purpose. They weren't even close to being close.
For real
Drayton Florence didn’t need to headbutt the receiver after a 3rd down stop either. The chargers have always had issues with discipline in big moments/ big games.
This comment thread really opened some old wounds for me.
The chargers were so good in the Phillip Rivers era, but they never get into the big game
That's the curse of the chargers
The absolute perfect example you can show to any fan that coaching matters.
You can have hall of famers. A great pass rush , a great rushing defense , good run game and a great passing game.
If you don’t have a coach who can teach and enforce fundamentals. Such as not fumbling . And EVERY good coach is a great special teams assembler and delegator.
thats what happened with the 49ers before Harbaugh came. they had a lot of great players in the defensive and a couple of pieces in the offense. yet they always had a losing season because of bad coaching. Harbaugh came a long and instantly made them SB contenders. kinda similar with the Chargers with the suppose loaded team every year, just to fall short because of bad coaching
Been a Chargers fan since the early 80s and seeing this brought back bad memories. We’ve been cursed with bad special teams forever. Most people don’t think of the third most important part of any team but I don’t take special teams for granted, no Chargers fan should ever.
Crazy how it's open been recently that we've finally fixed special teams. Ryan Ficken has been amazing as our ST coach.
All that 2010 aside "Who has it better than us!" with Harbaugh aboard now! Wait and see...
They are doomed. Harbaugh is a terrible coach
@@erikpuka2627 terrible is a stretch. He's certainly better than their previous coach
He ain't go do nothing lol
good vid new sub
Glad you enjoyed the video! Really appreciate it!
Special Teams :((( Chargers fan from SD I love anything Chargers thanks for vid.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and I apologize if it brought up any bad memories! Really rooting for them now
Fan since 95 I’ll never forget this and the 06 squad⚡️⚡️⚡️
2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 all Superbowl worthy, if best of 7 like NBA/NHL/MLB theyd have at least 2 rings. 2007 really sucked, AFC Championship game at 18-0 N.E. down 14-12 in the 4th with no Gates, no L.T., no Merriman, Rivers on 1 leg with torn ACL.
That was my fav roster. They had Darren sproles. Malcom Floyd. Vincent Jackson. Gates. Tomlinson .. just phenomenal
Tomlinson was on the Jets in 2010.
I’m happy the chargers beefed up the O-line but I can’t help but think that we needed bower not only as a dawg fan but just for Herbert I’m glad we got lad but that TE qb connection is so key for so maybe QBS Thru out the history of the league
Just when I thought I’d forgotten about this, it shows up on my feed. FUCK!
It's okay, makes what's about to come more rewarding now that Chargering is dead with the Harbaugh era begun.
Americas team. 🤷♂️ 🇺🇲outnumberd, against all Odds, when no one Believes in Us we stay resilient and we fight on until we win. There's not a more perfect representation in the NFL of the American underdog spirit than the Chargers.
Chargers charge forward
no one cares about the chargers
@antonioromero7940 Everyone my new name is "no one" now😂 apparently, there are a lot of people named no one.
As a chargers fan, this was a bunch of games of Chargering at its finest, all in one season. Usually we wait for really big games to charger, and instead just chargered most of the season. Hopefully that’s all behind us now!
personally for me, thats when the Chargers started Chargering constantly. i remember between 07-09 we would start having winning streaks in the second half of the season to get into the playoffs at the last second
Those rankings are a little smoke and mirror since it only takes into account yards. I remember when it was brought up after the season that we were number one in offense and defense but it never really FELT like that during the season. We were really good at times (we were 13-3 the year before why wouldn’t we be?) but all the untimely mistakes on all sides of the ball and the slow start is really what defines that team, not some statistical misnomer.
Chargers are notorious for nvr meeting expectations. And choking. Lots of choking
how insightful are you, its like you are the only person who knows this
@@ernestogastelum9123 thank you
Indeed, Philip would have to win games twice in order to get the W. Love ya Phil. my favorite player ever
When LT left the my had no one to rely on when it came to crucial game winners they tried to rely on rivers but he chocked some much and threw picks
This is why im not a huge fan of stats, I'm all about the bottom line. And that is winning games.
I remember thinking, "it's always something!"
Aren't the numbers skewed? If the other team returns a kick/punt for a Touchdown, no yards are given up by defense and the offense gets an extra series.
Numbers are definitely skewed but Chargers still had the second most points per game and 10th fewest allowed. Yards aren't always a great representation of how good a team is as you pointed out. Still impressive to be the first team since 1996 to league in offense and defense.
Other then injuries, Coaching has been the teams biggest downfall since they fired Marty. This is the first time since then that the Chargers have at a legitimate head coach, not to mention they have what’s shaping up to be a phenomenal coaching staff
As a charger fan, thats just san diego sports teams for you…
Chargers fan here, it was because our special teams sucked really bad.
Looks like modern day chargers dealing with the defense
Have not had a coach since Schotty - simple reason is coaching. It’s a new day with Harbaugh
Seeing Norv Turner just sparked my PTSD. Him and Brandon Staley are bottom of the barrel shmegma
Man, I miss the Oakland Raiders.
Don’t need to be reminded. Yes, special tracks counts!
Quick summary....it's possible when you are dominated on special teams, lose the turnover battle and are questionable at head coach.
The Chargers may not be a lot of things but hey are for sure consistent. They’ve been losing close games in the same fashion for 14 years straight
The Chargers and Cowboys are my two favorite teams. Both seem incredibly talented only to choke on their aspirations in the playoffs every year.
The pain... Oh the insufferable pain...
Also, I'm not a bandwagoner for either team. I live in Dallas and used to play on a football team called the Chargers.
That's painful. I would like to think the Chargers have a bright future with Harbaugh!
As far as the Cowboys go, I think they need to make some significant changes before they get over this playoff hump.
@@NotAnInsider I would like to think that both teams have bright futures. But the Cowboys seem to have a bit more uncertainty with Dak Prescott’s fate hanging in the balance. I think the Chargers have found their QB in Justin Herbert and that they’ve definitely found their head coach as well. But still, I don’t think either team is going to win the Super Bowl this coming season or anything. And as a true Cowboys fan, I knew our season was over as soon as I saw we were facing the Green Bay Packers lol. They always find some way to fuck us and I never know whether I should laugh or cry.
@@ciaranvaille7531 not trying to be a hater, but I just feel like they can't get it done with McCarthy. I think the team is good enough to win but they are limited by coaching in my opinion.
@@NotAnInsider Maybe so. I’m not a big Mike McCarthy hater or lover. I do think he streamlined the offense over the course of last season. Many people bashed him for his Texas Coast style offense at the beginning of the season, but it was something that I fully supported the Cowboys trying even before McCarthy took over play calling. And once it became clear that the style of offense wasn’t working because of Pollard’s lack of production, he quickly switched to a more gadget based Cedee Lamb offense. But I certainly wouldn’t oppose a coaching change either, McCarthy’s leadership does seem lethargic. I feel like what really put an end to the Cowboys last season was all of the injuries, especially on defense. Trevon Diggs tearing his ACL after the Jets game was HUGE. The defense had a massive drop off right after that game (they were on a legion of boom trajectory). And even though Bland stepped up, he’s a risk taker and not a lockdown corner like Diggs was transitioning into. Then Micah Parsons also suffered some minor injuries over the course of the season that seemed to really affect his speed. So, I honestly don’t know exactly what could get the Cowboys over the hump at this point. Willing to try anything 😂
Chargers really didn’t have the #1 of offense or defense. It was just the special teams allowed so many returns, blocks, it kept the defense from giving up yards and gave the offense more possession. Chargers weren’t even top 5 in points that year or points allowed.
The #1 Offense and Defense is based on yards gained and yards allowed.
The Charges were second in points only behind the New England Patriots and were 10th in points allowed on defense.
I miss Phillip Rivers
Pain
These stats are a fraud.
Bad special teams was the REASON they had the #1 offense and #1 defense. Those titles btw only focus on yards/game and yards allowed/game. What happens when your opponent is constantly returning punts and kicks for big gains? Your defense has a short field (or doesn’t see the field at all if it was returned for a TD), and your offense always has the ball and dominates time of possession.
Life long SD fan, that season gave me ulcers
I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you enjoyed the video except for the terrible memories
2006 shouldn’t have lost. They were better (although maybe not statistically). Hard to argue with 14-2.
The 2 losses were only by 3 points as well, could of been 19-0
The special teams that year was the WORST in NFL history. Unbelievable how many teams were able to return Kickoffs, get Punt returns for TDs, blocked punts, and blocked FGS!
I replied to another comment saying this as well. They were the worst in 2010 and from my research, they were considered the 5th worst from 1996-2010. I'm not entirely sure what metric they were using or who the other 4 teams were
Tbf the 2010 steelers had the #1 defense and patriots #1 offense by most
Through all the BS…still love my San Diego Chargers. To this day! In Herbert and Harbaugh we trust⚡️ miss this era tho LT, Philip, Jackson, Floyd, Weddle, Gates, Jammer…not Kaeding! F that guy.
What about 06 chargers? They lost the afc champ but had their best record that season.
Best chargers defense and offense since 2000 was 2005 and 2006
us chargers fans know nothing but pain
I'm sorry for your misery. Hopefully turning around soon!
Basically, every game that the Special teams unit did its job, the Chargers would win or dominate.
Any team led by Norv Turner was bound to fail. Especially one that had the number 1 offense and defense. That's unheard of. Bringing him in was the biggest waste of the most talented roster for about 3-4 seasons. What a shame.
It's really hard to win in the playoffs and he definitely made that point known. Some great seasons but it does pain me to look back at how good these teams were but could never get over the hump.
Hopefully Harbaugh is the savior the Chargers need.
Norv is the best coach since Marty and brought us to an AFC Championship Game perhaps SB Champs had Rivers not torn his ACL (and no LT, no Gates, no Merriman didn't help).
thats because they let the best QB Drew Brees go. If Brees had this team they would of had at least 3 championships.
It was a great offense (top 7ish) and a mediocre defense
the FIX IS IN
I'm pulling for the Chargers and Harbaugh this year. Chargers fans have suffered enough
After watching this, I need a drink.
My apologies for brining up some repressed memories. I hope you're doing okay.
Norv should've been FIRED after 2009 !!! 13-3 and lost at home to Sanchez (Charger Football)
6 years with N Turner was a HUGE mistake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Norv would be better than the coach they've had the past 4 years!
To me the best team in NFL history:
2007 New York Giants
How can a team be so dominant statistically but yet finish with such a mediocre record? Norv Turner…. that’s the answer.
Yet Norv Turner was the last good coach of the Chargers, except the new one.
The Chiefs should become the new art of Choke in the future.
Wouldn't that make a majority of us happy
@@NotAnInsidersure it would. Cuz those Duche bags should have choked in the divisional round or in the title game.
A 9-7!team had best offence and defence. I can’t understand that??
The Chargers had such talented people but were perennial failures in playoffs.
Poor to Mediocre COACHING.
All of this is true but somehow Philip Rivers isnt HOF worthy
Ouch
Lol, how do you go completely in depth into every single one of the first 7 games, and then randomly cut off and sum up the last 9 games in 10 seconds?
Our special teams was ASS! Norv was a better OC than a Head coach too. wasted a lot of prime years off great talent too.
As a Chargers fan, this video is a good teaching about why Rivers is not HOF material. In his best statistical season, he still had 13 INTs, many of them were clutch 4rth quarter.
Best offense best defense please tell me it was worst special team lol
Why do you have to remind me of this?
I'm deeply sorry to bring up repressed memories
It wasn't the no.1 offense nor defense. Patriots scored about 6 ppg more. And stats in general can be decieving. That Chargers team was not the no.1 offense nor defense if you watched them play. Defense 2asn't really good.
#1 Offense and Defense is based on yards which I and some other comments discussed is deceiving like you said.
Defense still was 10th in the league in points allowed but scoring on turnovers and special teams isn't accounted for their.
Chargers didn’t make the playoffs for a reason. They weren’t good enough! Rivers and the Chargers went on a span of almost 10 years starting in 2010-2018 of making the playoffs only twice. He has 5-6 playoff record. That 2010 would’ve gotten wiped out by their daddies the Patriots.
They played the Patriots and lost by 3 points on what could have been a game tying field goal.
@@NotAnInsider They were down 20-3 at one point in the 2nd half, but came up short after a comeback which was a pattern for them. The Chargers with Rivers had a habit of starting off with losing records and then rip off wins when the playoffs became further out of reach. They were 3-4 against teams .500 and above. That 2010 Chargers team was not any good. You are reaching.
I hate it here lmao
#1 offense and defense they wouldn’t be 9-7 bro 😂
Exactly.
Special teams was awful!!!!
Worst special teams of all time
Definitely for the 2010 Season. I had seen that they were considered the 5th worst from 1996-2010, however I'm not sure exactly what metric they are using to rank these or the other teams
FU Spanos
It's because Rivers was only good for the first 2 quarters. As a Chargers fan, I completely hated him by 2012. All he was good for was running his mouth and late game ints
Not this again 🫠🫠 jim we need you
