Its that old sang,"we are on the verge of doing great things around here", something the San Diego Chargers have been saying for quite sometime. I remember the "AIR Coryell" days. The original multiple set WR spread Offense now just called the "Spread Offense", that was almost unstoppable with guys like Fouts, Winslow Sr, Muncie, Jefferson, Joiner, but can you name someone from that defense, probably not.

The New Chargers, who a very balanced on both sides of the ball and have been balanced for the last few years, and still have not turn that corner. There are many factors that go into a team that is so talented, but yet underachieves at such a high level, its mind-bottling really. One thing the BOLTS have to do is just "MAKE A PLAY" when they need to. In the big games they just seem to be playing well but the body language is that of, "man when are we going to mess this quarter, half, or game up. Coach Turner has done a really good job of handling expectations in the regular season, but if you count that everyones trophy case would look like your local high schools.

The 2010 BOLTS are picked to finish at the top of the AFC again and this is without future HOF RB LaDainian "LT" Tomlinson. This is not the original "LT" by the way but a damn good "LT" nonetheless. Factor in the have one of the best QB's in the league in Phillip "I Have a good mouthpiece" Rivers, an excellent receiving core led by TE Antonio "Hands like shovels" Gates, and a really good Defense let by bookend LB's Phillips and "lights out" Merriman( no not Teddy Pendergrass "Turn off the Lights"), The MURPH should be rockin'.

With all this talent The BOLTS just have to stay the course and play every game like its a playoff game, and with so many teams in a top heavy AFC vying for playoff spots, the Bolts are in by default because the AFC WEST looks like the NCAA Mountain West. And come January 2011 when Rivers and Coach Norv got the Boys on a game winning drive just someone "MAKE A PLAY".

Next stop Dallas,Texas............... Flight Attendants please prepare the cabin for takeoff.
