Dear Chargers, SET IT OFF!!!!

by JeremyBeckett on Oct 18, 2011 5:01 PM PDT

There are over 1 million Charger fans now accoding to Chargers.com "Bolt up" drive. Sadly 84% according to polls are not satisfied with the Chargers performance through 6 weeks.

(4-1) !whats their problem, right? Were getting the job done? what do they expect?

We (fans) expect this team to play to its potential. Here's your shot.

The Chargers fans really need you to go in and kick the New York Jets ass!! No, not play down to them. No , not squeak out a victory. No, we need you to kick their asses bad!!

You see, Chargers fans got set back a decade against the playoff loss against the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. At our home. After 11 straight wins. With all players healthy. against a 9-7 team! In Great weather! After A bye week.
The Chargers were robbed!!! Not a week, Not a Seaon " A DECADE!!!

Wait, let me re-state that. The Chargers "fans" were robbed!! That was our turn.That was our house ! That was our money!
We want redemption!!

One word describes the essence of the team that beat them.

Arrogance!!

Let me go on record as saying " Darelle Revis could NEVER cover Vincent Jackson ! EVER!! He will never take a pass away from Vincent Jackson at over 11 feet in the air EVER!! Philip Rivers knows this, so does Jackson and Revis. CAPATALIZE!!!

Cromartie can't cove Malcom Floyd for that matter. Back to Revis.

We all saw the interview right? A pudgy chubby cheeked Revis gloating on how he shut down Ochocinco, Andre Johnson, and Randy Moss that year. Guess who didn't buy it? Vincent Jackson (8 catches 115 yards)!

Great game right? So what was Jackson remembered for? an arrest before the game ? A flag? A penalty? What I remember was Jackson kicking Revis' ass up and down the field.

But Jackson got flagged for kicking the Challenge flag at Rex Ryan! Right? That's horrible , isn't it ?

Actually

Thats great! I actually searched google images for this picture. I would love to have it on my wall. I'd frame it! Thats Pride Folks!! Stupid penalty? 15 yards? Who gives a crap? That is pride that has never been seen in San Diego! Shaun Philips headbutt? 15 yards?? I Salute it!! This is exactly what the Chargers NEED to win games! Pride!

Before I lose you. The games leading receiver was Jackson, the games leading tackler was Phillips, and No, it was'nt even close.!

Traitors??

Were Cromartie and Tomlinson playing for the Jets that playoff game? Common sense says no, but is there a little irony that each player totally played a crap game, and within an offseason wound up on the (Jets)?

Lets see , Tomlinson 14 carries for 21 yards? Really??This is a guy who was dying to win the Superbowl? Cromartie, absolutely refused to tackle. Refused!!
Nate Kaeding? Well that's another story.Memo to Chargers staff, guard Nick Novak as soon as he lands at LaGuardia Airport, please!

The last Game:

Jackson " smoked" Revis. Smoked him

Gates, beat the Jets Linebackers all day

No running game.
Mathews( college), Tolbert, 0 snaps.
Could play a factor

Darren Sproles? The missing link. The guy played a great game for the bolts. 3 Carries 33 yards. (Misprint? Nope).
Sproles averaged eleven yards per carry, and only had his number called ( THREE) times! So much for the hot hand, Norv actually benched him for a guy that was averaging 1.1 yards per carry ! PUKE!!!

Philip Rivers 301 yards vs Mark Sanchez 99 yards !

Really ?

Let's get one thing perfectly clear, Sanchez is not nearly good as Rivers backup( Billy Volek), and he never will be!

So what are the Chargers left with after that loss?

Regrets? Bad Memories? Loss of faith?

Philip Rivers drove his truck for an entire year with a customized sticker on the back of his window which read (17-14) , to remind him daily of the Chargers defeat in that playoff game .

Vincent Jackson's 115 Yards were overshadowed by his " Stupid" Challenge flag kicking at the "Kool Aid" man" ( Ryan), And Shaun Philips was ridiculed for his "stupid" headbutt on Shonn Green! Salute these men, if all 45 players had this pride, the game would have been a blow out in the 2nd quarter!!

Ironically , as a Charger fan, these are the only three Chargers that I forgive for that loss. They hurt as bad as we fans did. They crossed the lines which are rarely crossed in the NFL (Money to pride), and they hurt with us.

But, as an investor in the team, through merchandise, ticket sales concessions etc..(3200 annually) the rest of you "Chargers " owe us. And Yourselves!

Here's the shot at redemption!

Put yourself on the maps and power rankings. Get your fans some redemption, and really kick the Jets ass. Im not talking by 3-10 points, I mean 20+ points. For once play to the teams potential, and give your fans back the pride the Jets stole Jan 17 , 2010.

I know, I know. Its not all about that. Its all strategy . X'S And O's . Game plans. Equations, matchups, and scenarios!

Well, here's an equation for you Norv

(Chargers fan + $ 350 = 9 Year old kid, (Jets team plus Rex Ryan = 14 year old Bully, who stole the money and beat up 9 year old)
Chargers team = 17 year old older brother fresh out of boxing/ Karate class, lets get our money back ,comprendes? Twenty points plus!

Put this team on the map. Get some validation, and give not only this team, but its million plus fan base something to believe in.

You see, we are getting tired of the press conferences telling us how good " other" teams are.
We have something pretty good here in San Diego, and ( as investors) , we're getting tired of this " move to Los Angeles talk!!

Chargers players, you're fans are hungry, and it's been over 500 days ( Jan 16 2010) since we've been full! Win this one for us! DESTROY THE JETS, Its your Duty!!

okay, here we go

The last Game:

Jackson " smoked" Revis. Smoked him

now i just found jackson’s highlight video from that game, and i will take you through if i have too: http://www.nfl.com/videos/san-diego-chargers/09000d5d815ccd9f/Divisional-Playoffs-Vincent-Jackson-highlights

first play: if you look closley, you will see revis one on one with a wr on the top of the screen, and v.j is the second reciever to the bottom (you can see the 3 in 83). at 0:07 you can see v.j catch the ball and he is wide open, the only guy near him is david harris, number 52. when v.j is brought down, you see that revis isn’t even near the play, he is down field with that wr. that was 13 yards.

2nd play: gain, v.j is set up in the same position, and jim leonhard, number 36 is oposite him. when jackson catches it, you see he beat leonhard, and revis isn’t taking him again. revis appears to be taking the same guy at the top of the screen again, if i believe. 26 yard gain

3rd play: this time v.j is st up on the top of the screen, he is behind the first guy. this play was just great design, he is wide open and no one is near him. how could you blame fevis when he is not taking him? 10-11 yard gain.

4th play: i will skip this because you seem to have totaly frogot about this too. apparently revis was owned on this play, but i’m not sure why…

5th play: first one here that i see that jackson lined up against revis, yet, it appears that revis drops into zone while v.j runs across the middle. again, revis is on the other side of the field, not even in the play. 12 yard game.

we just saw that 62 of the 111 yards that jackson got, according the nfl.com, were not against revis. revis wasn’t even on the same side of the field most of the time. so all what remains is 49 yards. even if we assume these were all against revis, 49 yards is nothing special. if you can prove to me that these plays were revis’s fault and that they had anything to do with revis, then you might be right. however, i think i just proved otherwise.

Believe me

You just wasted a lot of time from your life with that reply.

You will never get it back.

Don’t get yourself worked up over his posts.

6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.

That was fast.

sorry

i didn’t know

by rexthejet on Oct 19, 2011 1:52 PM PDT up reply actions

i am trying to find out

if the 37 yard catch, which was not on that video, the play with the unsportsman-like conduct penalty, was on revis. nfl.com is not working again, stupid video player. if it was not on revis, then there would have been just possibly 12 yards on revis the whole game. espn says the tackle was by dwight lowery, but i don’t know if he was forsure taking him.

Don't invest too much time

The author never bothers to back up his posts with facts – why worry about disputing him?

sorry

it’s just many charger fans, not saying yourself, have always claimed the v.j owned revis that day. i’m actualy shocked that revis only allowed possibly 12 yards. i found in thisvideo (go to 7:05). the 37 yarder wasn’t on revis.

Jax only had 2 catches on Revis.

it makes sense

i didn’t know that this guy doesn’t care about stats

He cares about them. He just doesn't care if they're accurate.

Jeremey

you need to relax.
a few things- Penalties aren’t a result of pride, but a lack of discipline.
Vjax only caught 2 balls when covered by Revis.
LT had no yards because there was no run blocking in front of him.
Kaeding was just being himself.
Cromartie still has tackling issues.
Sproles ran out of spread formations when the defense was defending the pass.
Stop assuming the stat sheet tells the whole story.
