S. Diego Chargers:
Strengths: This team has the best running back in football. LT is simply amazing. 1500 yards rushing, 500 yards receiving, and 15-20 touchdowns are the norm for this future First Ballot Hall of Famer. The defense isn’t bad either ranking in the top 10 in points allowed. This is a defense that relies on the big play. They are 1st in interceptions, 3rd in fumbles recovered, and 5th in the NFL in sacks. The one thing that teams have been able to do is run the football against the Colts and Patriots if the score permits it. This team would seem to have the best personal in place to give the front runners fits in that department.
Why this team will not make the Super Bowl: Norv Turner and the passing game. While Marty was let go because he couldn’t win the big game, Turner hasn’t won enough regular season games to take a run at that title. Until Turner proves he can win big games that will be the Giant Elephant in the room. The other concern is the same as last year. Can the Chargers win with this passing game? It ranks 26th this season. It couldn’t overcome that problem last year and was ranked 16th. In addition to the yardage drop Rivers is throwing more picks. Rivers will have to win a game for the Chargers at some point this postseason. The Chargers will go as far as he can take them. He hasn’t proven to date that he is capable of taking them anywhere near the Super Bowl.
