This is Not Your Same Old Los Angeles Chargers
By Ernie Padaon
This is not your same old Los Angeles Chargers team that you have seen in the past years. This team has a little bit of magic on them.
I don’t know how many arguments I got into over twitter last night! We were 10 minutes in and “fans” were already giving up on the game! We were down 13-7 and “fans” were already putting up an L. I swear they were even rooting for the Steelers!! What the hell!
I know I am one of the most optimistic fans that we have and I hate all the people that just give up so quickly. Can you just believe a little!?! I know what we have seen in the past! I have been watching this team for 30 years, but I still can believe that this team can pull it out!

Our roster is full of playmakers and they stepped up under the lights. Hoodie Keenan Allen was slaying last night. Desmond King was extra chatty on defense and shined on special teams. Justin Jackson was shifty. Even after being held all game long, Joey Bosa found a way to get a sack. Derwin James was a monster!
Don’t give up on the team…. this is not your same old Los Angeles Chargers. Even now, I have seen “fans” saying that we were lucky and we were gifted that game! How can you even say that about a team that came back from behind from so far!??!?!? Did the refs score those points for us? Did the refs play defense against Big Ben? Give me a break and just start believing.
Even at the end, I even believed in Michael Freaking Badgley!!! After all the kicking woes we had in FOREVER, I still had hope in him and he came through. He gave us a little scare, but he came through in the end and that is all that counts! I know a few other kickers that we could not have trusted in that situation and Badgley has that swag when he walks out there. The fact that he missed the first one and still had the rocks to put it through on the 3rd chance is huge!
Are you starting to believe yet?!
