Special teams killed us last Sunday too.

I haven't seen too many of you guys mention how bad special teams, especially the kickoff team, played. Everytime they gave up a huge return San Diego scored. It's soo much harder for the offense to move the ball the distance of the field rather than the gift of already being in the the opposing teams territory. The first two or three kickoffs, we stopped them within their 30 yard line and ultimately forced them to punt. Did anyone else notice this? I'm sure that the coaching staff will make alot of adjustments on the kickoff team, but they should've made the adjustments at half b/c the Chargers took advantage of every good return the whole game, and therfor giving them the W!

You make a good point. Hey, I don't know what is going on in our lockeroom at halftime because it always seems like we come out flat. Whatever they do, please reverse it, it isn't working.

Yes, special teams were bad, but the secondary was worse. How about O'Neill and James? They are terrible! I believe they are laying down this year. They are killing us.
