I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

The Manning Colts from 03-10ish are the only comparison, and he/they at least won something. Rivers is such a fascinating case. His career can be summed up with 2 seasons: That 06 team, who was the best shot he ever had, going 14-2 but somehow managing to lose AT HOME in the Divisonal round to a Patriots team that consisted of Brady and a bunch of steaming hot garbage at WR and a good but nowhere near great defense. He only managed to put up 21. The 07 year: He gets to the AFC title game, plays his ass off on one leg and damn near pulls off the upset on the road. Had his star RB not sat pouting on the sidelines with a boo boo, the knock off the undefeated Patriots and go to the SB. That's a snapshot of who Rivers is: You can't entirely blame him for some of those teams not getting over the hump, but at the same time, you can't say that he did enough to get them there, either. Which season did the Chargers have the #1 offense and the #1 defense and somehow still missed the playoffs? Hold up, that happened?

This was the 2010 season, where they allowed an assload of massive kick and punt returns (as well as 4 total TDs, I think) and a stunning number of blocked punts.

They weren’t number one in either category. They were 2 in offense and 10 in defense. I still say one of the best teams since 2000 is the Chargers 06” team and they couldn’t even win a playoff game.

Yep. Lost AT HOME to a heavily undermanned Patriots offense.
