- The Greatest Team That NEVER Won A Playoff Game. The 2006 San Diego Chargers had a stacked roster, the NFL touchdown leader in LaDainian Tomlinson, a 14-2 record, a young Philip Rivers, elite tight end Antonio Gates, edge rushers Shawne Marriman and Shaun Phillips & an all time great head coach in Marty Schottenheimer. So why didn’t they win a single playoff game?

I grew up in San Diego a Chargers fan and that playoff game was the first football game that I ever watched. I used to curse that game but luckily it has prepared me for a lifetime of disappointment. Nothing can hurt me anymore.
Like John Caparulo said, at least it's southern California. Even if you lose, you can always go to the beach. How do you think Cleveland and Detroit fans feel?🤣
@@SkunkApe407 excellent point
As a 35 year bengal fan, I feel your pain. There's light at the end of the tunnel, keep your head up.
I mean screw you guys because the '13 playoffs but still, I feel your pain.
LOL! i am glad you realized you are better than the circus. im a bears fan and i dont know why, cuz i live near them? what a world
Except for the last game they played.
As a Chargers fan, I'm alive. And that's all I can be thankful for.
Glad you're here with us
Cheer up. You're STILL alive. You're ahead in the game of life. If your dead. You lost in the game. I've felt your pain before. Probably more than you realize. Chiefs fan.
Not only did I have to deal with this seasons disappointment. But he made an entire video making me relive the disappointment of the 2006 season. Thanks brandon
Bruh. The comment tho. 🎯
And you’re not a broncos fan. That’s something too.
Glad to see the chargers are honoring this team by continuing to do the same thing till this day!
The culture is actually damn good.🤣
@@SkunkApe407 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Chargers are a sentient voodoo doll walking underneath a ladder. There’s nothing the universe can do to this team that it’s not willing to do themselves
@@_SayaNarawho hates on the chargers? Russ trade still on your mind?
@_SayaNara all that for the Phins to drop 70 on the Broncos. Talk about cursed
Schottenheimer is the only coach to go 14-2 and get fired... it's amazing how good this team was
That is Spanos for you! One of the worst owners in the NFL...and that's a rich field!
And I’m sure somewhere Marty and Junior Seau are laughing their asses off at this team right now
@@daveatkins3796 Junior died,CET
@@kendallevans4079 That’s why I said somewhere, along with half of the 1994 squad.
@@daveatkins3796 Hmmmm......OK, don't want to argue religion/afterlife.
Ah yes...that slow slow sinking, suffocating, choking feeling that all us Chargers fans know so well, and relive SO often. I watched that entire season with my Dad, I remember telling him right before the playoff game "I just don't see how this team can lose." because they looked so absolutely dominant all year...man. Nothing gets you ready to deal with the ups and downs of life- quite like growing up a Chargers fan.
Lions also feel this pain lol
You had Marty. How could you not expect to lose.
then came vegas...
That's exactly how the long time Chiefs fans felt from the early 70s until Mahomes got there... I've seen more playoff wins in the last 5 years than 40 years of watching the Chiefs.
@wc1994 absolutely, enjoy it because you never know when it will end.
Imagine going 14-2 and getting the one seed and then realizing your first Playoff game is against the Patriots.
Secret Base has a really good video on the 2010 Chargers Chargering! I’m always excited to see more
I’m a Chargers fan, but I take pride in my AFC west brethren. Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders. We are the only division in football in which each team has been around the same time, since ‘60. Adds that much to our rivalries.
And as a Bolts fan I’m pretty immune to heartbreak by now. But this playoff loss in January 07 to the pats was incredibly bitter. Still stings to this day. Really stings. We were dominant, we could and should have won the SB
As a colts fan, brady is just a menace.
Phillips Rivers got dat dawg in him in afc champs 07
@@ManiacClearrivers knocked Peyton out of the playoffs more than Brady
@@jackcrassus168 they both knocked peyton out twice in the playoffs. Peyton did have a better playoff record against brady than rivers, but i wasnt talking just playoffs either.
You mentioned the chiefs, broncos and raiders - Brady whipped them all in 2020 getting his insurmountable 7th ring. Awesome!!!!
When I was a San Diego Chargers fan, I could endure a lot of things. I could endure a massive choke like this. 14-2 with a high octane offense and a very good defense and still screwed the pooch. I could endure having the number one D and O and still not making the dance. I can endure getting to the SB and getting squashed by the Niners. I could endure the Air Coryell offense having no defense and falling short. I could endure the goddamn Ryan Leaf era. But them moving to LA was the deal breaker for me. LA can now have all the choke jobs and the Chargering memes. Fuck em!
Well said 👏
Yall are making me laugh!
I became a chargers fan when the dolphins draft TUA and they took my guy and then Samuel Jr while fixing the online I thought they were thinking like me and were on to something special then WTF is happening taking a slow Wr when Addison and flowers were right there and then watching them keep missing I want to jump off before they lose my favorite QB in the league Herbert is special
I was invited to my first fantasy football in 2006, and had taken a break from watching football since i was very young. I got first round pick, and grabbed this really good running back named Ladainian Tomlinson, who not only crushed the single season record, elevated my team to victory...it made me a Chargers fan for over a decade. Still have the Tomlinson jersey...my favorite player of all time. Chargers also had the greatest theme song of all time, RIP San Diego Superchargers!
Same here!! I was roped into fantasy football and got LT on my team. Have his jersey as well as Rivers. Still playing FF, and loving it!
Thank you Brandon. People really don’t realize how good this team really was. So many hall of famers playing and coaching. It boggles the mind to think they couldn’t have went to at least one afc championship.
Don't forget, that was the only year with that team and coaching, Marty and all the other coaches were fired after that, which made a huge difference.
Let’s go bran….wait. Huh? 😛
If it makes you feel better, that patriots team chocked a 21-3 halftime lead to the Colts the next week lol.
Small thing but I appreciate how you phrased this. I hear so many people say that they can’t believe Chargers didn’t win a Super Bowl during that span, and I’m always bothered. Win the Super Bowl, we have to get there first
Brady and Company beat SD three times from 2006 to 2007 - domination!!!
RIP Coach Schottenheimer, we in KC also knew of plenty of playoff heartbreak during his coaching years.
add in Cleveland and DC as well. But it wasn't Schotty, the NFL was rigging games even back then. Sucks.
Wasn't his fault tho. Especially in this game.
Those were long years
May he rest in peace. I want him back on the Browns, he could make this team actually competitive
Yezzzir rip Marty schottenheimer and rip V Jax and rip Terrence Kiel and rip Shane olivea
This is one of my favorite teams of all time. This is the team that made me a chargers fan for most of my childhood. LT is still tied with The Bus as my favorite player all time. It sucks that they used to have so much flash and spark to them and now they feel kind of lifeless.
That's the cycle of a good running back for ya.
BaaaandWagonnnn
I was a huge patriots fan and lived an hour away from San diego. I got a job as an usher for the game and when the game stared I removed my uniform and found 2 empty seats and watched the whole game for free. Amazing!!
I would say 2007 was heartbreaking as well. We made it back to the AFC championship against the patriots, and rivers played on a partially torn ACL.
I remember watching and hearing that and thinking, "wow these guys are cursed or we are damn lucky". 06 or 07 I was very scared about the chargers. i embraced the idea of losing before the games started. those chargers dreams were a bus full of juggernauts.
I really enjoy this series. Brandon does such a good job helping us reminisce on prior nfl years.
Lol no he doesn’t he’s shot and doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about . Like you lol
As a chiefs fan I got to grow up watching them play these chargers. It is a damn shame LT never got a ring.
Can you imagine LT on these 2023 Chiefs? Unstoppable
@@redkingdom15 tbf LT would be unstoppable pretty much on any team
@@redkingdom15 Imagine LT behind the Great Wall of Dallas and either the '85 Bears defense or '86 Giants defense
Aka soon to be the buffalo bills
Maybe if he played in the game against the Patriots, even just out there as a decoy, they could have. He was on the bench with a mild lower leg injury and wanting to ensure his big money contract while Rivers was out there literally playing on one leg. I remember the camera kept cutting to LT on the sideline wearing his black tinted helmet because he couldn't make eye contact with his own team mates.
As great as the 06 Chargers were, people seem to forget it was the 07 Chargers that made the AFC Championship. And if not for Rivers playing on a torn ACL, they likely had a good chance of beating the 17-0 Patriots.
You know your football!!! Everything you said is true
They had no chance in beating that 07 pats team. The 06 pats sucked they should of blowed them out easily .
I was actually at that game. My father had season tickets and he got a couple of playoff tickets as soon as he could. We were so excited and ready.
I still remember that Marlon McCree fumble. It haunts my dreams.
I grew up a Chargers fan and I remember this season when I was in high school. It was surreal to watch at team so utterly dominant. It was also devastating to know that they failed the best chance they would ever have to win a superbowl.
As a Colts fan. God I love Rivers. I loved our 2020 squad. My opinion of him completely changed
2006 also the year Lovie smith got the Chicago bears to the Super Bowl, it was a weird year 2006
Yeah, I still don't understand how they did it with Rex Grossman.
@TraumaCenter13 great defense and coaches dumb enough to keep kicking the ball to Devin Hester.
@@TraumaCenter13we should've started Kyle Orton. Mr. Management.
I was a Chargers season ticket holder since 1978, and had my share of heartbreaks with Dan Fouts as quarterback, then the Super Bowl run with Stan Humphreys, and Jr Seau in 1994/5 that eventually led to the period you made this video about.
Drafting Drew Breez started a series of events that nobody could predict, and while the first 2 seasons with Breez were disappointing, we made the playoffs in 2003, only to lose that home game against the Jets, when Nate Keading missed that field goal. I was so sure we would win, I looked at my buddy and said “I guarantee he is going to make that kick”. I never guaranteed anything Chargers related again..
Breez got hurt, and we had the #1 pick in the draft the following year, and we selected Eli Manning, who refused to play for us, so we traded him for Rivers. Breez left for New Orleans and the rest is history.
We Chargers fans LT scored 31 touchdowns that season, and we felt unstoppable, but lost that playoff game (and several others) to TOM BRADY, and the Patriots, and sadly we never were able to get back to the Superbowl. It was those years that the phrase “to Charger” became an adjective, and a thing that has haunted our franchise ever since.. Personally, I blame Spanos for the curse that has haunted this team ever since! The Chargers really belong in San Diego, and I’ve recovered from the loss, I don’t think the team ever will. I’m still a Chargers fan, and I’m hopeful the team will become successful again. They have Herbert at quarterback and a bunch of very good players, and they have had 2 winning seasons and made the playoffs for the first time since 2018, but our new Brady is MaHomes, and I’m almost starting to hate him just as much..
Thanks for helping us remember how good we were, and how bad it always ended every season!
At least we aren’t the Broncos led by Russell Wilson 👍🏼
Good post with 2 golden FACTS: Spanos IS to blame and nothing is ever guaranteed with the Chargers!
@@_SayaNara So the grammar Nazi is spell checking me? Were you confused about who I was talking about? Did you lose sleep over the way I spelled his name?
Get a life! Lol
@@_SayaNaraYeah! Him too!
never will regard the chargers as an LA team, and I think that 06 playoff season was such a lucky fluke. Troy Brown was really clutch in the playoffs, a wide receiver playing cornerback too. Just came down to Belichicks coaching and how anal he is about every player doing their job to its completion regardless of what it was and where they were assigned. those players get chewed out if they dont, so even though talent wasn't there the chargers still had to get past Brady and a hungry assembly of worker bees ready to clutch it on a moments notice. thats why you guys had a tough time, it really isn't a knock against your team and incredible legacy during that era. i really wish you guys made it through and battled it out with manning. sucks that sometimes the lesser skilled team wins, but thats football.
There is one team that rivals this one….
And it was the Chargers again four years later
That was my thought seeing this title too
It should be illegal what the chargers do to their fans.
@@TotallyTheExpert 😂
Damn Nate Kaeding missed from 36,40,& 57 in that divisional playoff vs the Jets in 2009. Completely forgot that team.
Lmao well at least you guys have a legacy... even if it is a legacy of failure.
I’m thankful we have the Chargers in our division.. it makes me feel better as a die hard Raiders fan lol. They’re always so generous and give us a win every year lol.
I was in the stadium when we were balling out and then JASON CAMPBELL and DARREN MCFADDEN suffocated us. The stadium was only Raiders fans in the 4th quarter and you could hear the jeering all the way to border.
its a good thing you still cant clear .500
this is the ONLY team that makes me feel better about the steelers not winning a superbowl with prime Antonio Brown, Prime Leveon Bell and Prime Big Ben
Damn I never saw Brees’ injury.. that was nasty!
These Balls Deep videos are some of the best shit you put out. Deserves way more love!
I’ve had multiple shoulder surgeries so that Brees injury turns my stomach every time. When you see how his shoulder popped and then rotated over his head like that it’s sickening. I can watch the Theisman and Alex Smith injuries and feel nothing but whenever I see that Brees injury I wanna throw up
Do the 2005 Bengals. First post season appearance for the Bengals for 15 years. Ended in tragedy. Right up your alley Brandon.
Chris Henry (RIP) caught that beautiful 60 some yard pass and Palmer went down.
Palmer was still rattled by that hit years down the road and really didn’t get completely back mentally until he got to Arizona. Altered the history of the Bengals franchise. Those later playoff teams would have looked a lot different under a never-injured Palmer vs Above Average Andy.
As a Charger since Fouts, this is painful; like and old play, a tragedy and yet here I am.
My dad and I are from SD. I was too young to really care about football yet but my dad is always super depressed when it comes to looking back at this season. If they win the AFC championship the chargers win the Super Bowl, San Diego gets a championship, and San Diego probably keeps it’s team. As it stands now we’ve moved to Seattle, are now Seahawks fans, and if we watch any chargers game we root against them
Hell yea. I don't mind the Chargers anymore but I'd hate to see them win it all. Luckily they're still owned by the Spanos slumlord trash family so they wont be getting any hardware anytime soon.
So your family is bandwagoners gotcha, fans like you are part of the reason why they left SD, only stuck around when it was convenient.
It’s really insane how good the chargers were in the LT era considering how little they accomplished in the postseason.
Jabbar Gaffney was an underrated Bronco. Super slow but routes were so crisp he was open a ton
Textbook definition of a “possession” receiver. Doesn’t have to be a track star, but runs good routes, solid hands, makes plays in traffic. He won’t be the one going deep, but he’ll pick up first downs going up the seam all night.
I was literally thinking about this, this morning. How shocking it was that Marty never won a Chip. He had multiple good teams, and the Chargers were a monster. I bet if he wasn't let go, he would of won one with San Diego.
We said the same thing about Shula, Marino, and Miami. We see how that turned out.🤷♂️ Fucking Ray Finkle...
@@SkunkApe407 and Fuck Dean Spanos, long live Felipe Rio
@@teen_laqueefa lol.
Marty played not to lose, he didn't play to win.
@@10thletter40 that's true but that Charger team was a beast and Marty got let go. Always thought that was crappy of the GM to do that.
don't let this distract you from the fact that that 2010 chargers had the number one offense AND number one defense and didn't even make the playoffs.
I still have depression over this game. Greatest heartbreaking moment in SD sports history along with Tony and Seau’s deaths.
The day the Chargers went up to Lotta. Ass. was worse. 🤷
Nate Kaeding missing those FG's against the Jets is right up there
Just recently found your channel. Even as a Chiefs fan I think you're great dude. I love these deep dives the most. I think we are probably close to the same age so they're usually a walk down memory lane for me.
I'm a Chargers fan who loathes the Broncos, but I've been a big fan of Perna's channel for years. Not watching this video, though I really don't need to. Both 2006 and 2010 are horrifyingly seared into my brain!
@@tonyj9743 *Mmmm…2010.* 🤤🤣
I just turned 29 last week, and this took me down memory lane. Indy and SD had some good matchups back then, and I used to love watching LT play. To this day he’s still my favorite rb ever. This era of football will probably always be my favorite.
It was partway through the era before the NFL became arena league football where you couldn't touch the QB or the WR and taunting didn't exists nor did any of the other changes to make it so the offense appeased the fantasy players. The era where Blake Bortles could throw for over 4k yards is a joke.
Hell yeah, I still remember no matter that Rivers and the Chargers could never beat Brady and the Pats, they could always disappoint Manning and the Colts.
@@dizzydwarf502 hell yeah.. the 6 INT game comes to mind when I think of the Colts vs. SD back in the day 😒
Colts and Chargers fans of this era are kindred spirits in one regard: the amount of times they’ve uttered the phrase “Goddamn Brady AGAIN…”
I get up everyday at 4am and go to work until 5pm …. It’s hard to get up in the morning but thank you Brandon Perna for making my morning so much better ❤💪🏼 your awesome my man .
I will miss the 06 Chargers when they had 11 pro bowlers and LT was the bomb. We need more teams like them in today’s NFL.
Now do a video on the 2010 Chargers, who had the #1 offense and defense but missed the playoffs
I was just about to mention that one! Man both those teams broke my heart
One of the few football games I was lucky to go to was a raiders, chargers game in 2006 my senior year of high school. LT had one of his best games that day and even as a raiders fan I was excited to watch him play.
*I think, I was there, for that game…* *Our Raiders ABSOLUTELY F--ING SUCKED FROM 2004-2009.*
Hey Perna, have you done/considered doing a BD vid on the '99 Jaguars team that sent Marino to the retirement home? I dunno if there's enough material in that idea for a long-form vid, but with the Jags relevant once again a flash back to (one of) their good times seems like a decent idea.
That team was great. Funnily enough they only lost to 1 team that season but 3 different times.
This was the team I got hooked on the NFL with. Unfortunately the team is still blowing it year after year but I still love them! My hockey team is the exact same way…I obviously root for mediocre teams 😂
This era made me a Chargers fan. A lot of weekends watching the bolts while my uncles would drink beer and barbecue.
LT, Sproles, Gates, and Jackson. Awesome team to watch.
I remember this season as a Chargers fan. I thought this was gonna be our year. Unstoppable forces with tons of young up and coming players and a good sprinkling of vets. I was so devastated to see how the season ended. The Chargers are still and probably will always be my 2nd favorite team. Just hope we don't waste Herbert like they did Rivers. And like my main team, GB wasted Favre and Rodgers. Appreciate seeing some love from a Broncos fan and we know we're your secret team to win if Denver and Buffalo don't win over the Chiefs. Keep up the good work and love the videos.
i wouldnt say Favre and Rodgers werent wasted since they both won a SB.
@Ernesto Gastelum yes and no, I'm glad we got a super bowl out of each. But as talented as they were, they should have at least gotten to more. 3 trips in 30yrs with 2 HOF QBs.
@@DigestedRaptor6 still them winning a SB is already a huge accomplishment. as a Chargers fan i wish i had 2 SB winning QBS
GREAT VIDEO... PATROITS STOPPED ALLOT OF FUTURE DYNASTIES. CHARGERS, COLTS, RAIDERS, JETS, RAVENS, JAGS, CHIEFS. VERY SATISFYING VIDEO. TY😁
Was 15 when we lost that game still love my chargers just hope they turn it around one day and get close to how great this team was thank you for the chargers content ⚡️⚡️⚡️
It continues to amaze me that RUclips hasn't demonetized this segment for calling it Balls Deep. Great video, you're the best Brandon.
Football has the term “throwing the ‘deep ball’”. It’s just a play on that….nothing more. *wink wink nudge nudge*
That team was loaded. I am a life long Chicago Bears fan, and I have almost never cheered for any AFC Team...
Until this Chargers Team!
I really liked watching that team play!
They deserved so much better.
I hope you do more of these historical videos. This was so interesting.
You should do a similar video on the 2005 Bengals, They were 11-5 on the way to probably a Super Bowl run when on the second play of the game Carson Palmer was hit and tore his ACL. Palmer would never play at the level of the 2005 season again thus ending any chance of them being taken seriously again in the future. Which is why a Burrow wearing #9 and all the curses being broken seems as a very feel good story for Bengal fans!
Absolutely. A never injured Palmer makes those later playoff teams a different story. A healthy Palmer throwing to AJ, Sanu and Gresham? We’d have gotten past Houston at least one of those times.
My twins were born in the fall of 2006 so even if I saw any part of the '06 season, I was probably tandem nursing and half-asleep. Thanks for the overview of a season I literally don't remember 😂 for any team. What a tragedy for all the Chargers fans!
Btw - great writing & editing on this one. I love the humor clips added.
Antonio Cromartie has more baby mama then Philip Rivers have kids😂😂😂😂
It's crazy how ya forget all that sruff...
you are such a great find! Gotta try your
Losers Blend! 🏈
This was a real fun look back into my golden age of madden playing, and I bragged more than once about that jake Plummer win to all the patriots fans who surround me in New Hampshire
Only wish Jake the Snake lead that ‘05 Broncos team to SB XL
I still remember the mixed feelings I had at that game. As a colts fan of the time I was thrilled that they would be hosting the afc champ game, but I was terrified of another loss to Brady. Luckily it didn’t play out that way as it was the one year the team had a solid defense
The 14-2 ravens and the 15-1 Packers are not on this list is crazy 🤦🤡
It's not a list. It's a video about one team lol
It’s team not season 🤦🏾♂️🤡
Love the Marty McFly tee! I’ve never seen that one with the Van Halen guitar on it. I want one! Great job Brando!
The reason why the 2010 Chargers were 10th in scoring defense was because their special teams was so bad the opponents never had to move the damn ball. They were already on the Charger's side of the field.
The fact they were still in the top 10 despite this is mind boggling.
yeah i remember watching a video that explained that it was pretty much their special teams being so bad that blew that whole season for them. dont think theres ever been an instance like that in nfl history lmao.
Brandon made this video just so he could make Philip Rivers jokes lol
Chargers reminded me of NBA Kings with Mike Bibby Chris Webber and Vlad years so good but kept losing to Lakers and Portland instead of Colt and pats
I n d e e d
Well done on the vid !!
EDIT: Can’t recall how many pro bowlers they had on that roster that year
U never..WVER dissapoint Perna
..even Raider Nation shows u love..
Bcuz u spit facts.
💯💯🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I grew up in San Diego. I still remember that season. I was 10. I was sad.
Great video to bring back past scares!! Still loved the video though.
Funny to me that 2 of the best Charger videos regarding past teams are, this 2006 chargers from a Denver fan and the 2010 chargers from a KC fan.... I guess we just don't have a good youtubers for Chargers fans, at least not of past seasons.
wait, Philip Rivers was. once childless? I thought he was born already a father
Perna's undying love of Tom Brady never stops.
TDS
I want Brady to go to the Broncos just to see his reaction. "Oh, Tom, I never meant those things I said!!!!!!"
Until they lose and its "The new new new new new WOAT QB game
Good video Perna. How about the 1998 Vikings?
I am a Bills fans but loved these Chargers teams.
Come to think of it..... maybe baseball or hockey should be my sport........
As a lifelong Broncos fan, my first game in person was the NYE game against SD when Brees broke his leg. Being from the East Coast I was drinking at 8AM SD time and was damn well drunk by the end of the game. Made for a long NYE and even longer day after. A little over 5 months later, I was in attendance at the Preakness when Barbaro broke his leg and I was also equally drunk then. Apparently my drinking has an affect on sports.
Only got into the NFL three years ago. Became a chargers fan cause I’m from LA and I went to college with Herbert. Also I really just loved the way the offense had a spark in it. When I get into something new I go deep. So I studied the history of my team. I was 8 years old in ‘06 and couldn’t be bothered about sports. But this season. And that game. It haunts me.
This was a great video. I wish you’d make more historical type of videos.
As a Chargers fan, I demand Brandon release an 8-Bit Chargers shirt on Benchwarmer Brew as repatriations for this video giving me PTSD
1986 and 1987 Bears were more disappointing. Both teams dominated in the regular season and then got owned by the Washington [Redacted]s in their first playoff games.
I'm from SD. I haven't watched a full football game since the charges left. This video was amazing.
Also Nate Kaeding : Kick Ass Except During Important NFL Games.
Great video!
I've always been interested in the 06' Chargers as well.
I wish they were still in San Diego! For all of the Navy pplz living there, .. we felt like the Chargers were the official team of the US Navy. ( I grew up in San Diego, in the Navy )
Me too when they rock navy blue is magic to me
@@davidcrook99 *As a Die-Hard* Raiders Fan, *you guys should* make a petition to bring those Jersey’s back.
What about the 15-1 Packers the year after they won a SB? They lost in the divisional round and were a one and done
I didn’t know benchwarmer brew had a sister page to donate. Very very cool man. Very unique!
Hoooo boy….. talk about repressed memories here….
First and foremost, I’m an ex-Chargers fan, an extremely bitter one at that. I’ll get to that later but the ‘06 Chargers up until that playoff loss was my happy place during my dad’s losing battle with leukemia. He even called me from the hospital just to tell me how amazed he was at the Seattle Rivers to Jackson touchdown…. and my dad wasn’t a football guy, just a very, very casual Rams fan only because they were LA way back in the day and he thought they were ‘alright’, that and he despised the Raiders.
What killed it for me (and even the NFL itself for a couple years) wasn’t the choking, the bad years, Norbert Turner, Teddy Cotrell’s terrible defensive scheming, the San Diego sports curse or having a dump like Qualcomm Stadium that would probably literally collapse in a moderate earthquake…. I could endure all that and did so….. no what ended it was Dean Spanos essentially telling his fan base to go fuck themselves in 2016 without even a goodbye or even acknowledging his fan base…. very Irsay and Mayflower like. Pissed me off and I remember that rainy morning well…. I had a Chargers emblem on the back of my Wrangler and I remember taking a flathead screwdriver and scrapping it off, scratching my tailgate up in pure anger and watching that stupid logo float away in muddy water. I was so bitter I quit watching football for a couple years, not caring about it.
Fortunately though I got over it and became a fan again after watching a modern classic…. Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams out dueling Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. It just felt right becoming a Rams fan and I remembered the goodwill from my dad towards the Rams so that helped too…. and knowing that Dean Spanos will always just be a hated tenant to Stan Kroenke. Thank you for bringing up how much of a gimp Spanos is. Hated in San Diego and hated in Los Angeles. I remember seeing his stupid private jet at LAX and giving it the middle finger. Futile and petty yes, but it sure felt good doing that!
If Tom Brady was coming to my town to play in the playoffs, a hit man would be there to greet him after he exited the airport.
I would give the edge to this Chargers team but the 2019 Ravens story is VERY similar and should have an honorable mention
As a Bolts fan, this hurts. I even went back home from Japan to see them play at playoffs only to be seen them loss to the spy handling Cheatriots. Instead I get to watch Colts vs. Bears SB. That was when I realize how Dean Spanos is such a Cheapskate Clown.
You know Perna, I am not a Chargers fan, but you make a great point at 4:45. That tackle by Lynch changed the destiny of two NFL teams for the better. (The Chargers, and the New Orleans Saints).
This team is cursed. Marlon Mccree is Spanos personified as a football player!
I'd say 2009 was worse. IN 2006 they lost to the 12-4 Patriots in 2009 they lost to the 9-7 Jets
not to mention the AFC West in 2009 was one of the worst divisions ever
The best lights out dance was by Junior Seau when he sacked Rivers while Seau was with the Patriots.
I’m gotta support this dude. Most entertaining football videos.
The running gag of P Rivers having kids is brilliant.
Still can't believe they lost to New England who had Reche Caldwell as their #1 receiver
Cub fan all my life so I know the feeling. Thank God 2016 helped some.
This is the Marty Schottenhiemer effect. I watched him throw away a multitude of incredible seasons by means of complete choke jobs.....every.....single....time.
It's not the team. It's the coach. And shame on the Chargers for hiring a guy with a long and detailed history of being one of the all-time heavyweight champions of choke.
I lived in Cali for 8 years now and I promise I only met 1 chargers fan the whole time I’ve been here
To me as a Vikings fan it’s Green Bay of 2011 that team was unreal they were 15-1 and lost first round at home to the giants the eventual Super Bowl champion
I love how you keep up the consistency with the commentary just mentioning Gates basketball background 😭
This team was exciting to watch 🔥🔥
Slingin' Sammy Baugh is one of, if not the best pure athlete to ever play football. He threw 4 TD's AND CAUGHT 4 INT's in the SAME GAME. Different breed that guy was.
News flash good news Philip Rivers now has ten or eleven beautiful children!!!! Yay!!!
Lmaooo Philly Rivvs.. Brandon never ceases to push me over the limit after being edged for over 6 hours!!!
man this hurts every time to think about
The fact LT never even made a superbowl is a tragedy
Im a Broncos fan so i always loved seeing this team underachieving 😂😂😂 they had some of the best offesnse back in that day but only advanced in the playoffs a few times 😂
