It&#8217;s a curse that plagued the team all season, and it&#8217;s one that they didn&#8217;t deserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, that curse played its final hand as the team decided to part ways with head coach Anthony Lynn, and that&#8217;s a fate that he didn&#8217;t deserve either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Statement from Dean Spanos <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aR8z0OqnEG\">pic.twitter.com\/aR8z0OqnEG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Los Angeles Chargers (@Chargers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chargers\/status\/1346134108812967939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lynn is a well-respected man and coach, and once they get healthy and give Herbert another year under center, they have a real chance of bouncing back and challenging for the AFC West title. But they&#8217;ve chosen to do it without the coach who led them to a 33-31 record during his four-year tenure with the Chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not a fair fate for a man who led the team to a 12-4 record and the playoffs two seasons ago. But this season they seemed to have the worst luck, particularly in close games against good teams, a failure that contributed to Lynn&#8217;s release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In week two they had the Chiefs on the ropes in their home opener, leading by a field goal with 2:27 left in the game. But Kansas City tied it up and won in overtime, 23-20, on a 58-yard field goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next week they welcomed the Panthers to SoFi Stadium, and it was another heartbreaking loss. The Chargers were down 21-10 when they engineered a long drive and score to get the game to 21-16 (they failed to convert the ensuing two-point conversion). They got the ball back with under two minutes left, drove all the way down to the Panthers&#8217; 28 yard line and ultimately fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they traveled to Tampa Bay to face Brady and the Bucs. The Bucs lead by 7 with under three minutes remaining, but L.A. couldn&#8217;t pull off the comeback, falling 38-31.<\/p><div id=\"first-2911982612\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over a six-game stretch after their bye week, the Chargers went 2-4, losing those four by a total of 24 points, which includes a hard-fought overtime loss to the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints. The Bolts played relatively well and had been in every game, but they couldn&#8217;t seem to finish things off in the closing moments. The only exception was the seventh game after their bye in which the Patriots spanked them 45-0. Ironically, the team came together and won their last four games after that Patriot rout, something which should have given Lynn a lifeline for 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, that did not come to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some criticized Lynn for his decision making, and rightfully so as he made some head-scratching ones this season. In their 27-17 loss to the Bills, he made poor decisions on two different series towards the end of the game and allowed precious time to tick off the clock before taking a time out that should obviously have been taken much sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that same problem of time management once plagued Andy Reid, and look at him now. <\/p><div id=\"first-2379540216\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chargers have a good young nucleus to build upon, starting with the aforementioned Herbert, a franchise quarterback who developed faster than anyone could have imagined. Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Hunter Henry, and Austin Ekeler provide him with solid weapons to work with, especially when they&#8217;re healthy. They have a good defense, anchored by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, and with the 13th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, they&#8217;ll either be able to get some more protection for Herbert or draft another young playmaker on defense to pair with current rookie Kenneth Murray Jr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This team, and Anthony Lynn, could have learned from their mistakes and figured out how to win the close games next season. A few key plays and this team could easily have been 9-7 or 10-6 instead of 7-9. They&#8217;re not in a rebuilding stage as they have talent, especially at key positions. Yet despite this strong foundation, the team decided it was time to move in a new direction, depriving Lynn of the opportunity to coach a healthy team with a franchise quarterback next season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of firing him, they should have treated Anthony Lynn like Biggie and given him one more chance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chargers were a frustratingly fun team to watch this season.
