Nonetheless, here we are, facing perhaps the biggest game in Chargers history.  Watching the way this team

where he altered the past, and in turn, changed the future, thus creating an alternate 1985?

The dream is about over — mathematically.
The dream is over — realistically.

The Chargers' aspirations of reaching the playoffs are toast, even if the
numbers say they aren't. But in the wake of yet another home loss — this
one to a rookie coach with a rookie quarterback — the writing is on the
Chargers' locker room wall.

"You are who you are," tight end Antonio Gates said. "You are what your
record says you are. We're 4-8. No matter what kind of talent we have, no
matter how many Pro Bowls we have, we're 4-8."

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Somewhere, Ed Hochuli must be smiling.

derailing the San Diego Chargers’ season with a blown call that

No, the Chargers have done a mighty fine job of that all by

SAN DIEGO (AP)—A season after finishing one game shy of
the Super Bowl, the San Diego Chargers are only one game
better than the Oakland Raiders.

That’s as good a reason as any for why some of the buzz is
missing heading into Thursday night’s renewal of the Raiders-
Chargers rivalry, which dates to the birth of the AFL in 1960.
The Chargers have beaten the Raiders 10 straight times and LaDainian Tomlinson dominates Oakland like no
other team. Still, there’s a gloom around the Chargers.

Once considered Super Bowl favorites, the Chargers (4-8) have lost three straight and five of six. Their lifeless
22-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday all but eliminated them from postseason contention, leaving them
three games behind the Denver Broncos in the AFC West with four to play.

Raiders on Thursday night. The Chargers beat their archrivals for the 11th straight time in a series dating to the
birth of the AFL in 1960.

The Chargers (5-8) snapped a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time in seven games.
Once considered favorites to reach the Super Bowl, they’re still in deep trouble, trailing Denver by 2 1/2 games in
the AFC West. The Broncos have four to play.

“We have listened to the many fans who are interested in bringing their family and sitting in the family section,”
executive vice president A.G. Spanos, the grandson of owner Alex Spanos, said in a statement. “With these
changes for 2009, the Chargers will now have one of the largest designated family areas in the NFL.”

The Chargers (5-8) were projected by many to reach the Super Bowl but instead have been all but
mathematically eliminated from contention in the AFC West. They trail the Denver Broncos by three games with
three to go.

The Chargers had a good day-after feeling, less than 24 hours
from thumping the Raiders, 34-7, on Thursday night.

The victory snapped a two-game home skid and was a
welcome tonic for a reeling team which had lost five of its past
six.
But considering the hole the Chargers have dug—three games behind AFC West-leading Denver with three
games remaining—the triumph was hardly a cause for a parade.

“It’s a win and we take it no further than that,” running back LaDainian Tomlinson said.

The Chargers head for America’s heartache to face the

They do so with a broken heart.

The buzz from last week’s victory over the Oakland Raiders

get cranked up and the Chargers (5-8) won’t have a seat at the
table.
But this week—at least one more week—they are still alive. They can still say their prayers and hope they can run
the table with three more wins as the Broncos lose all three of their final games.

It’s tough swallowing the pill, which comes when expectations meet reality.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—The NFL’s highest-rated passer
would not be stopped.

Philip Rivers rallied San Diego from a 21-3 third-quarter deficit,
throwing two touchdown passes in the final 73 seconds, and
the Chargers stunned Kansas City 22-21 on Sunday.

The Chiefs, aided by a delay of game penalty against the
Chargers, tried a 50-yard field goal on the final play, but
slender playoff hopes of the Chargers (6-8), who came into the season as Super Bowl favorites after losing to
New England in last year’s AFC title game.

Rivers, who came in with an NFL-best 102.0 passer rating, was 34-for-48 for 346 yards with two touchdowns
and one interception.

It’s another week and another playoff game for the San Diego
Chargers.

That’s their approach when they face the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers Sunday in Tampa, Fla., on Sunday.

And really, that’s the only option the Chargers have.
If they win, their disappointing season might be over—if the Broncos defeat the Bills.

It’s not exactly the way the Chargers envisioned entering Week 16. But when they trail the Broncos by two games
with two to play, the numbers don’t lie.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—Forget all the potential tiebreaker
scenarios and what others teams need to do to help
the cause. It’s not difficult to figure out what the San
Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers must do
to stay in the race for playoff berths.
The division winners from a year ago have followed different paths to contention, but both desperately need to
win Sunday at Raymond James Stadium to bolster chances of advancing to the postseason again.

In San Diego’s case, it’s beat the Bucs (9-5) or the chase is over. Even then, the Chargers (6-8) need Buffalo to
beat Denver later in the day to set up a showdown with the Broncos for the AFC West title next week.

“We’ve got to win or we can forget it,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Looking for Ed Hochuli to work another
Denver-San Diego game, this one with the AFC West title on
the line?

Forget it. Hochuli, whose blunder helped decide the first game
between the Broncos and Chargers—in favor of Denver—will
be a couple thousand miles east in Green Bay on Sunday for
the Lions-Packers game, where Detroit will be trying to avoid the first 0-16 season in NFL history. The Broncos
and Chargers play at night in the AFC West showdown that concludes the regular-season schedule.

Hochuli and his crew will be officiating in Green Bay because the schedule is drawn up before the season. In
any case, by league policy, officiating crews do not do two games between the same teams in any season.

A lot of people wish for a lot of different things this time of year.

The Chargers are no different.

They hoped Sunday’s season finale against the Denver
Broncos would mean more than playing four quarters and
jetting off to an offseason vacation.

But first they had to erase two games off the Broncos’ three-
game lead in the AFC West standings.
The Chargers have done that thanks to a three-game winning streak and the Broncos getting a lump in their
throat. The result is Sunday night’s game could hardly mean more.

If the Chargers prevail at Qualcomm Stadium, they, and not the Broncos, will open the playoffs against the
visiting Colts the following weekend.

This one's for all the mediocrity.
More than three months after referee Ed Hochuli's blown call
allowed Denver to beat San Diego, the increasingly bitter rivals
will play for the title of the awful AFC West in prime time
Sunday night in the last regular-season game.

Will it be Jay Cutler's bumbling Broncos (8-7) - who had a
three-game lead with three to play - who hold on and win the
division wire-to-wire?
Or will Philip Rivers' re-energized Chargers (7-8) win their third straight division title after being written off when
they were 4-8?

It's quite the story line for the finale in the mild, mild West, whose winner gets to host a playoff game against
Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.

The loser is sure to be reviled.

SAN DIEGO (AP)—The mild, mild AFC West belongs to
LaDainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers and the rest of the San
Diego Chargers.

The Chargers won their third straight division title by finishing
8-8, becoming the first team to go from 4-8 to the playoffs by
routing the Denver Broncos 52-21 in the Ed Hochuli Bowl on
Sunday night.
“This is obviously history in they way we trailed the division and now won it,” Rivers said after San Diego’s fourth
straight win—and 14th straight in the month of December. “We all had the expectations to get here. We obviously
went a different route than we thought we would. But we’re here.”

It really, truly wasn’t the way anyone thought the talented Chargers would get to January, considering they were a
popular preseason pick to make it to the Super Bowl.

INDIANAPOLIS—The Indianapolis Colts survived a long,
grinding journey to earn a playoff spot. Reaching the Super
Bowl will be far more difficult.

The Colts open the postseason Saturday on the road against
an old nemesis, San Diego, and a victory would mean a return
trip to Tennessee or Pittsburgh. If things go well, the Colts
could play in all three venues.
It isn’t how the Colts envisioned chasing another Super Bowl title—or how 12-4 teams are typically rewarded.
But after two consecutive months of must-win games, the Colts believe they’re ready.

“I think maybe that grind of having to win seven or eight in a row to stay in the race maybe made it feel that way,”
coach Tony Dungy said Monday. “But it’s been rewarding, I’ll say that. I like where we are.”

SAN DIEGO (AP)—The San Diego Chargers aren’t apologizing

One thing they need to do, though, is figure out how to do
better than the previous eight teams that went into the playoffs

Few expected the Chargers to be here - at midseason anyway.

Before the season, everyone expected the Chargers to be
preparing for a playoff game.

And they are, with the Indianapolis Colts arriving for Saturday's
wild-card playoff contest at Qualcomm Stadium.

But after the Chargers had lost five of six during one dreadful
were in first place every week except after the final game.

That’s why many think the Chargers have a good shot of advancing deep into the tournament for the second
straight year.

Despite having a prime opportunity to fold when they were 4-8, the Chargers kept fighting. So the speculation is
that if they were able to survive and dig out of that hole, the playoffs are almost like playing with house money.

A phrase that can be heard at a Jay Cutler press
conference.

In between rolling his eyes and giving curt responses,
the phrase "I don't know, you tell me," is a point at
which you know the press conference is about to end.

Or all the answers have been given. Because the
subject is unwilling to respond in a civilized manner.
Jay Cutler has been described as spoiled, smug, a guy with the personality of a doorstop. But the one description
that is sticking the most is: Jay Cutler is a punk.

In a radio interview with Kevin Acee, Matt Wilhelm touched on this when he said, "He is a punk, I'm just not a huge
fan of his. He and Tony Gonzalez are the biggest crybabies in the league."

Where does Wilhelm's animosity stem from? Much of it can be traced back to Christmas Eve 2007.
