Playoff ponderings

Its game time. Its playoff time. Before kickoff, I have a few thoughts on this Charger team.

It almost goes without saying that this season has been frustrating in many ways but a lot of fun in several other ways. Going to my first "away" game, in the storied football city of Pittsburgh no less, was a great experience. It would have been even better had the Bolts pulled it out on the road, but in the end the result doesn't effect where we are now.

Through all the ups and downs, the one thing I take from this team is that they are a group of fighters. No matter the score, no matter the standings, no matter the odds, you know they'll always fight till the end. As long as they have one more game, one more quarter, one drive, one down, one more breath in their lungs they'll fight their asses off to try and win. As a fan that's all you can really ask for. Luck, fate, serendipity and the occasional Hoculi are all part of how things play out, and you can't control them, but what you can control is how much you're willing to give in pursuit of victory.

I salute our Bolts for their character and making the playoffs, and salute management for picking players who are not only talented but truly professional men of high character who have so often stared down adversity and not blinked. Let's go get a victory tonight.
