San Diego Chargers vs Oakland Raiders ... yet another mockery of the team of "finest city" in a season that started badly and ended worse. In the fifteenth day of the season the Chargers have hosted the rival hated the Raiders in the Californian derby par excellence. Despite not having much to ask the league put the home team have honored the game playing at par and at times better than rivals. Unfortunately definitely the heavy absences that go on throughout the season as key players: Verrett, Te'o, Allen Johnson, Woodhead and Mebane to San Diego and its fans insult came again last quarter, which has also added Gordon have conditioned in an inevitable trend of a campaign without exaggeration could see them as serious contenders for the Superbowl. In addition to accidents which for the second year in a row does not allow the Chargers to be competitive I would like to focus attention on a mental tightness of the whole team to say the least unacceptable, turnovers, afraid to play normally in the key moments of the match, heavy errors by kicker and punter, etc. I would not blame the coach Mike McCoy for all this, he certainly has its faults for choices in the final game of a debatable but in the end are the players who go on the pitch and the service is to come primarily from them, not for 40, not 50, not for 58 minutes but for 60 minutes more also a possible overtime. Philip Rivers as far as I can say it was too much the hero for this team, charging a huge weight on his shoulders playing virtually no wide receivers throughout the season, and with a line with huge limitations in tackles with Dunlap and almost never in Barksdale able to protect him adequately for the entire 60 minutes. But at the same time the quarterback the Chargers was rushed decisions, throwing interceptions that are deadly results for his team, despite everything Rivers surpassed 4,000 yards launched and led his team to win against tough opponents like Atlanta, Tennessee and Denver. I would say that Rivers has done half a miracle and put those numbers together, creating from nothing like a true champion wide receivers like Inman and Williams; I do not exaggerate by saying that with a few more victory would be a legitimate candidate for MVP. The defense, with the Raiders completely blameless was almost always constant for the first three quarters by creating turnovers and giving good guarantees to defensive coordinator John Pagano, unfortunately also the defense in the fourth quarter has seemingly failed to arrive at a decisive period in deficit energy and so failing to stop the runs they put pressure on opposing quarterback leaving too much time to the opponents to launch thus making the job of the defensive backs almost impossible. The question for the offseason is huge for the San Diego Chargers, hold or not Mike McCoy and his staff? As for coach McCoy was deficient in playcalling at key moments not to mention an inability to improve mental held during the season, which is why I would be in favor of his dismissal. As for the offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and defensive coordinator John Pagano I believe are to be confirmed given the excellent job done in their duties failing to include in the course of work by special teams players as Kyle Emmanuel capable of playing at a good level. As for the coach needs a veteran coach who is able to guide the young talented do the Chargers at key moments of the matches avoiding sensational debacle as seen in almost all the games this year, the possible names could be: Jim Harbough, Tom Coughlin or outside as Matt Patricia who has shown in New England to be able to do the defensive coordinator job well thanks to the teachings of a master like Belichick.
