Balls Everywhere

Well, so much for my prediction.

So where do the Chargers go from here? I'm sure Ravens fans are very used to this question: underachieving high quality team falls short of playoffs. Panic and go with youth movement? Keep status quo and chalk it up to bad luck? Fire Norv? Fire NORV? FIRE NORV?!?

Regardless, the Bolts should start playing the spoiler role. Let some younger guys get their licks in. Limit LT's carries so he can get healthy again. Keep Rivers from getting injured. Finally, do all you can to embarrass your division leader, Denver. Why? Because fuck 'em that's why!

Finally, let's take a look at the draft positions. San Diego stands at 10th right now, due to their superior conference record (compared to the other 4-8 teams, San Fran, Jax, and Cleveland). I think it's pretty clear they need to improve their lines, as two of the more recent games have had pivotal safeties which bit them in the ass. And the defense... well, let's not talk about the defense maybe.

More on this when the Chargers are actually mathematically eliminated from the postseason. I'll comfort myself with Carrie Milbank, NHL reporter:
