History is ruthless and has no pity.
The chargers just got what they deserved. In a short while they became the most arrogant team in the NFL. Yes, they had the material and the record to give support the attitude, but in the end they were exposed as a bunch of athletic, but plagued with many stupid guys.
First Marty. Bad decisions and a not enough good game plan in the best chance od his life. Several examples prove it, like the decision of going for it on fourth and eleven... Its an event of less probability than a 48 FG. Aggresive when the score is 0-0 early in the first half? cmon! Then in some critical drives in the second half, his team gained six yards on first down, then threw the ball incomplete on second and third, result : punt. If the patsies aren't stopping your running game, why get away from it? Simply, Rivers was throwing the ball too much. Marty's fault.
The bonehead errors of Terrance, Olivea, Mcree and Parker just made them deserve the punishment and embarrasment. I hope they enjoy this looong offseason. Parker is specially guilty, because after fumbling the ball in the punt returen, he tried to pick it up and run instead of only jumping on it, as boys are teached early. Shame on these athletic jerks.
They had it all, the best offence, the best player, a great defence, home field advantage, one week to rest... What can they do to get better next year? Fix the errors? Many of the players would have to be born again to do so, like that asshole Mcree still maintaining he did good when fumbled the ball.
Screw them. I don't like the patsies, but stupid arrogant sons of a bitches like the dischargeds deserved this and more.
As for Marty, his career is probably done as a top coach and I'm happy. If he gets back with SD -not very likely, we know- they will suffer the "year after meltdown" such dissapointing experiences guide to. If he goes out, only bad teams will wanna take him. He may get another winning season, sure, but going after a championship is a matter of the past for him. We all celebrate. He wasted his last chance yesterday. at 5-13 in postseason, and having won his last one in 1993 he doesn't deserve another shot. If somebody gives it to him deserves 100 years of bad luck. He also doesn't deserve credit as a great coach. A winner in regular season, a comlete loser in postseason. That equals mediocrity. I just wish for him in the next few months, the saddest moments of his long antiRaider career.
