Well Joey Bosa Color Rush Jersey , ladies and gentlemen, we’re back to those familiar Mondays. to be falling apart. We’ve been spared this feeling quite a bit this season, so I suppose that it’s been well-earned. The difference with this one is that it’s not just drama- the season is now over for the Chargers, and there was every reason to think that they were the better team before the coin flip.One of the most repeated storylines leading up to this weekend was that this season represented “the last best hope for Philip Rivers to get his ring.” Each time I heard that, I couldn’t help but groan at that uninspired and lazy tagline. Drew Brees is a great case in point—Rivers has a lot left in the tank, and that has been evidenced by his ever-increasing numbers these last two years. Fellow draft-mate Ben Roethlisberger has also seen his stats jump over the last two years, making talk of retirement look that much sillier. The Chargers have fielded really good teams since Anthony Lynn took over, and it’s frustrating to miss a key chance to win it all. I will agree, this team could have done it. Unlike the Eagles yesterday, the Chargers didn’t lose on an unlucky pick. They got soundly punched in the mouth. Instead of being the last rites for a team that got the door shut on them, it’s much more likely that this past weekend serves as a wake-up call for the organization, the coaches, and the players. They’ve got the chess pieces. The Home Field AdvantageIt will be a tired refrain from fans and outsiders that the Chargers fell because of the enormity of never playing a true home game. Although tired Forrest Lamp Color Rush Jersey , it is a line that I agree with. You can see how well that home advantage has served the Patriots for the past 18 years. Even with cobwebs, concrete, and brutalist architecture to decorate the home field, the Chargers would have likely played with home field advantage throughout the playoffs if they were back in San Diego. But they’re not. It’s just another unlucky hurdle for the team to jump next year, but they’ve already proven that they can. With a little more tweaking, with a personnel move or three, and possibly some changes in coaching philosophy, this team has the cogs necessary to keep that window open.The End of the WindowAlthough it is impossible to know just yet, it is likely that 2020 is the true end of the window as we know and see it with the personnel we have. Rivers has said that he wants to ‘break in’ the new stadium, Bosa, James, and Henry will be in the prime of their careers, and the Chargers should have a shiny new home field that promises the creature comforts of a next-generation home stadium.With a likely work stoppage in 2021, it will be absolutely key for Telesco to nail these next two drafts Mike Williams Color Rush Jersey , with the more important being this one coming up. Believe it or not, the Chargers have the look of a powerhouse that should be able to contend for the next several years, and that should be encouraging to a fan base that could use a good shot in the arm instead of the mouth.-Jason “Honestly, next year!” Michaels Your daily dose of Los Angeles Chargers news & notes from around the web." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBolts From The BlueBolts From The Blue, a Los Angeles Chargers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsChargersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections San Diego Chargers Daily LinksSan Diego Chargers NewsSan Diego Chargers OffseasonSan Diego Chargers HistorySan Diego Chargers HumorFiled under:Chargers Daily LinksLos Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Can Bolts’ depth carry them through long season?New,14commentsYour daily dose of Los Angeles Chargers news & notes from around the web.PDTShareTweetShareShareLos Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Can Bolts’ depth carry them through long season?Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY SportsReliable depth is key for the Chargers season - Tyler GallagherOf course, when it comes down to it, the team needs to play whoever will put W’s in the win column. As we found out last year, every single win matters, especially when you are in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs. Salvaging a win against the Denver Broncos could have changed the course of the season.Top 10 NFL players over 35 years old entering the 2019 season - Austin GayleDavis turned in three consecutive seasons with 88.8 coverage grades in the prime of his career (2013-15), and though the now 36-year-old veteran hasn’t earned a single-season coverage grade above 75.0 since, he’s still a capable starter with much-needed skills in today’s NFL. He may have lost a step or two since his hay day, but his play recognition and above-average athleticism should still pay dividends, specifically in coverage Darius Philon Color Rush Jersey , for the 2005 first-rounder with the Bolts in 2019.Do the Chargers have a two-year roster plan? - Tyler SchoonThe Chargers will not be forced to re-sign many of their star players following the 2019 season, either. Other than Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon, the Chargers don’t have much pressure to retain their free agents next year. Mike Pouncey is also a candidate to be re-signed, but the team will likely wait to see how his second year with the team goes as he approaches age 31. Hunter Henry will have to show he is worth retaining (he is) following a lost 2018 campaign.Los Angeles Chargers: A look at team's defensive line depth chart - Travis WakemanTom Telesco went into free agency with a specific approach, deciding to re-sign the most experienced defensive lineman he had in Brandon Mebane. Meanwhile, Damion Square, Darius Philon and Corey Liuget were left to look for work elsewhere, though Square was recently brought back.Chargers OTA Report: Anthony Lynn Passes Power to the Players - Chris Hayre“Our players – like I said today – they were doing an outstanding job of pulling guys aside and just coaching them up on how we practice and how we do things,” Lynn said. “That’s where I like to see it come from because at the end of the day, we’re going to go as far as they take us.”Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
