Sad day for San Diego
Sunday January 14, 2007 was a very sad day for San Diego. Everyone tuned in for the Chargers' playoff game that has been much awaited by almost everyone. The Chargers have had a very incredible regular season. They held a 14-2 record with 10 consecutive wins. LaDainian Tomlinson holds the MVP title as well as the record for most touchdown & rushing yards. The Chargers have a very good defensive & offensive line....Lights Out, Gates, McCree, Neal. Not to mention a rookie QB that have impressed everyone with his field presence, Philip Rivers. He made mistakes but was quick to comeback from all of that. Also their coach Marty. I heard a lot of people talking crap about how his team never do good during playoffs. Isn't he along side all the great coaches now that had 200+ wins?
Even though Rivers gave some good passes, even though LT rushed 100 yards for this playoff game alone, and even though the defense & offense team did their best we still lost. It was so sad that after all of our team have worked for that it would only end their dream, and the whole San Diego, to go to the Superbowl. There were a lot of mistakes made in the field, interceptions that was almost ours but then failed to grasp the ball tight & slip from their hands. Personal feelings interfered with playing the game calmly which gave us a personal foul & had hit our team big time. Everyone that was on that stadium went home with a very long face. For sure many cried. I was never a football fan. Seen some games on TV & some movies about football but never really understood the game. My Pineapple answered some of my questions about the game & watched every single one with him, if not listened on the radio with him. Although I can say I am not a football fan in general, I have learned to love our San Diego team. When they would gain yards or make a touchdown it makes me jump out of my seat & scream in joy. And during this playoff game it even made me weepy seeing them doing good. But as the game goes by I had this sinking feeling inside of me. And there it was...a defeat! 24-21 loss.
I know & everyone knows that there is still next season right? But who knows if we will still have a great year next season. Will LT have the best rushing yards & make the most touchdown again? Will Philip Rivers lead his team to a 14-2 season again? Or will Marty Schottenheimer be our head coach again next season? Right now, no one knows. What we know is we, San Diego & the Chargers team, have had our heart broken.
