Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley doesn't buy that last season's horrific playoff collapse to the Jacksonville Jaguars carried over to this season, and maybe he's right.
Whether or not that loss still matters, it's bad for him and the Chargers that they've followed up that historic loss by blowing a couple of late fourth-quarter leads to start this season.
"It has nothing to do with the Jacksonville game and that's just the truth. It's a convenient storyline for you and for everybody else, but it's not the truth," Staley said after Sunday's game, It's reasonable to believe the Chargers could be 1-5 if they don't quickly turn things around. Staley was on the hot seat despite a playoff berth last season, but. If the Chargers are 1-5 with a roster that has as much top-end talent as any in the NFL, Chargers ownership would have to consider a change, even with about two-thirds of the season to go.
That's a bad stretch. It's a bit unlucky to be 0-2 this season with two losses coming by five combined points. However, it doesn't feel that unlucky when these things keep happening to the same team. There's only one team consistently making new history with the ways it loses.
