One Mistake Ends a Super Bowl Run! (Patriots vs. Chargers, 2006 AFC Divisional) 

But they're not

The folks there didn't want them, they kept voting down the stadium bills

And we don't want them in LA

Also don’t forget kaeding fg choke in 2004

the Chargers were only a Super Bowl-quality winning team once, and that was this year - 2006.

I'd argue the Titans were more deserving of a Superbowl win in the early 2000's.

Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Steelers, Patriots, Ravens, Broncos, Patriots, Broncos, Patriots, Patriots, Patriots, Chiefs. Or in other words: Brady, Big Ben, Manning, Brady, Big Ben, Manning, Big Ben, Brady, Flacco, Manning, Brady, Manning, Brady, Brady, Brady, Mahomes. That's what Rivers had to deal with his entire career while he was on the Chargers. Edit: btw, that list is the list of all the AFC Champions (In Order) since Rivers' rookie season (with the exception of this past season obviously.... since he wasn't on the Chargers this past season).

This was their only real chance to get to a Super Bowl. The Chargers, with this group. The next year they did get to the AFC Championship, but let’s get real. They weren’t beating the Patriots that day. Nobody was.

реальная сталь real'naya stal'

Right! that play was bad enough BUT real disaster was Marty challenged play needlessly and blew a TO. A TO that came back to haunt them on last drive

The missed catch by Jackson, Jackson not getting two feet down in the end zone, the personal foul after they had them stopped. The Chargers gifted this game to the Patriots. He was always a poor head coach.

Tuck rule cry about it

the play that took the Chargers from San Diego

thats exactly what i was thinking and also that they may both be able to play several more years.

@@joemamma416 not really rivers doesnt want to play when hes 40 this might be second to his last season

Rohan and 12 years later.. rivers still hasn’t won anything and a choke artist. LT and Gates- Rivers still makes too many mistakes. Eli Manning, Big Ben, and Drew Brees all have at least one ring and Super Bowl appearances. Rivers has none. It’s a joke if he makes it to the hall of fame with just stats

Neruy Wow dude that’s so funny. I decided to leave the Chargers too (born in San Diego, moves away as a kid, they were my only real link to my birthplace). Going into the 2017 season I picked the Eagles to beat the Steelers in Super Bowl LII 38-35, and they would be my new team. Lo and behold, they beat the Pats almost by that score.

Marty had issues in the playoffs after 1993 but the Chargers ruined themselves by firing him after this season IMO, especially when their replacement was Norv freakin' Turner.

It's this the same game and coach that thought they were so good that he wouldn't even call plays this game

The 2006 Chargers. One of the best teams that didn't win a playoff game.

Matthew Shortle Yep! The 06 Chargers were the Best in the NFL by a landslide and shoulda won the Super Bowl

Mike Youngblood wrong

@@mikeyoungblood1642 Your comment makes no sense. You can't be the best if you don't win the superbowl.

A M the 06 Chargers were clearly the best team in the league. We know they didn’t win the super bowl or even a playoff game but they were the best team all season. Counts for nothing but it’s still true. The 06 Colts weren’t even as good as their 05 team despite winning the Super Bowl…

exn641US kinda how musgrave helped the Raiders to a 12-4 season and they fire him but kept Ken Norton Jr who had the Raiders defense ranked last smh

Jim Johnson they went 12-4. He fired Musgrave and put that other idiot as OC. And kept KNJ. Thats why he got fired. So eventually Davis cleaned house once he brought in Grudock. now things are looking better. Reggie Mckenzie was also drafting bums.

But at least y'all made it further the next year, of course that loss was also to NE

Your pic bugged me out

2006 was the year I thought the Chargers would win it all. Yall had a complete team. Meanwhile my Colts couldn't stop the run and found a way to shut down the run in the playoffs. On the bright side, the team that beat yall lost the next week to the eventual SB champs

No, it was 13 years after the ultimate comeback. 11 years before the great Super Bowl comeback. But yeah, being so great at running 2 minute offense for so long is really impressive.

Not really. He was already well established at this point.

Same here, from the same year too. So many things happened this game that would only happen to the chargers. The fact we didnt even make it to the super bowl with this team hurts. They were the best team by far, and they clearly looked better than NE this game too. But thats just football, will never forget it either. It would be leas painful if NE was the better team and kicked our ass, or if our guys played like it was gonna be easy and screwed up and got outworked. But if u watch the full game, they fought their ASS off. And were so freakin talented smh.

I was a big charger fan growing up and after this loss I stopped liking the team not because of the players but because they fired Marty Schottenheimer after going 14 and 2 which is crazy they should have gave LT the ball more this game especially in the second half

They didnt get it in San Diego either. Did you see the stadium their last few seasons there? Fucking ghost town.

@@Daedrothification Gee I wonder if its because Spanos kept threatening to move after 2 terrinle 4-12 and 5-11 seasons...

Neruy ohh I get it so the team has to go 11-5 or better to have fans see this is why San Diego is a dead Sport City while Cleveland having 1-15 and 0-16 seasons are still filling the stadium with pride of being a Browns fan unbelievable.

Kevin Kong Torres filling the stadium does nothing to help the team win in fact it makes owners complacent why do you think loser franchises have great fan bases because they don’t demand a winner or stay away, fans stopped showing up in protest of Spanos since he was trying to move the team. This actually helped him get leverage to move them but the reality was he wanted to move either way and that’s why people stopped coming

NEVER! AND IF THE DO IT WILL BE BY A BUNCH OF POSERS

sergio loza Soft and overrated

Yeah, I think he had shows underrated speed in this game. People think of him as a somewhat physical, durable, consistent TD magnet. But he pulls away from those DBs when he gets space.

sergio loza I love Lawrence Taylor! Oh... you were talking about Ladainian Tomlinson... lol

Yeah, LT WAS GREAT. LADANIAN TOMLINSON WAS GREAT TOO.

Very likely he would have a Superbowl ring if it wasn't for Marlon McCree's fumble and Nate Kaeding being unable to get it done in the postseason when it came to kicking field goals

Sounds about right

I’m still sick about farves pick plz don’t ever mention that game again

Yeah I have to agree with you. I believe correct me if I'm wrong but one of those years the Chargers were 8-8 and beat a 12-4 Colts team in SD.

@@briancamilli8873 That's correct, the 2008 Wild Card round, the Colts were 12-4 (but lost the South to the Titans) and the Chargers were 8-8 and won the West. And now Philip Rivers is coming to Indy.

With bob sanders healthy no way... Lt woulda got carted off..

Yeah man Chargers had Colts number at the time and pats had the chargers number. Crazy how football can be sometimes!!

Not only that, the way the Pats won when the Chargers let them back in by coughing up that interception. When the Colts took the lead in the AFC title game, the Pats were driving when Brady threw a pick. Rather than trying to run it back, the Colts defender secured the ball instead of risking a turnover. Colts win 38-34, and go on to win the Super Bowl.

Marty was mic'ed and can be heard telling that very DB "If we get an interception go down, no juking and running around."

1997

All of the Chargers 3 total losses in 2006 were by 3 points each and with less than 1:10 remaining in the game. I wonder if any other team in league history endured that type of heartbreak?

NBMarc yeah me too !! I’ve been waiting this highlights for a long time

Isaac Dunaway I found an nfl.com video by chance last year, of the int fumble. That’s it

I was at Qualcomm for that game that year. When Marlon McCree fumbled after the INT, we all were in shock. The crowd went silent in my area, and actually a guy started to cry next to me (he was drunk of course lol.) True Charger fans knew what was going to happen at that point. We basically had the Pats beat, and the game shouldn't have been left to Kaeding who became a choke artist in the playoffs. To this day I'm not sure what Marlon was thinking, he should've fell to the ground. He didn't need to make an extra play. It was a great game and a great year. I just hated AJ Smith for getting rid of Marty for Norv the following year, yea he took us to the AFC Championship, but it was Marty who built that Super Bowl caliber team.

Coming from a steeler fan,LT has what L bell misses ...class

Lt was a whiny bitch who when his team needed him most he sat on the bench. While his quarterback played with torn acl.

mshat18 you joking right?

@@mshat18 You're a whiny bitch who sits on RU-vid criticizing one of the best RB's in NFL history who gave his all for the Chargers.....waaaaahhhhhh

Lol all you said was true. But ppl will always say Rivers was the choke artist and the reason he never won a SB💀 I guess ppl watch these highlights and think rivers is the players making huge costly mistakes🤦🏻‍♂️

Back in 2006, the Patriots did not have the best team but they still had an aura of invincibility surrounding them. They had recently won 3 titles, only 1 playoff loss. So teams always seemed to freeze up when playing them. The 06 Chargers being a prime example.

Thanks Marlon McMothafuccinCree

He's so underrated as a head coach. My Redskins fucked him over as well. In 2001 which was Martys first year as Redskins head coach, they started 0-5 and were without question the worst team in the league. But he got the guys playing, and they finished strong at 8-8. A disappointing season overall sure, but they showed signs that they were trending in the right direction. Then Dan Snyder got involved when he shouldn't have, and wanted to split Martys role. He wanted him to be just the head coach, instead of having him continue on as both head coach and GM. Synder gave Marty both of those roles when he convinced him to join the Redskins.

SD fired Marty, but not until 13th February. Spanos, owner of Chargers, was furious at Marty for losing this game. He waited until after all teams with vacancies hired coaches, then fired Marty on 13th Feb, ensuring that no jobs are available, as all were filled by then. Spanos was a dirty, rotten, petty, & vindictive scumbag for doing that. What have the Chargers done since? Losing to Belichick & Brady is not reason to fire a coach. Many head coaches & assistants have lost jobs due to B & B beating them.

@@claudeabraham2347 the g.m didnt get along with marty

@@claudeabraham2347 didnt vincent jackson call aj smith the gm with no rings?

I agree that Marty was great coach but his poor decision making all by itself was enough to cause the Chargers to lose this game. He had them go for it on 4th and 11 on their own 30 yard line in the first quarter when they could have kicked a 48 yard field goal. Then he used a challenge flag in the 4th quarter after McCree was stripped by Troy Brown and it was clearly before he was tackled. A few minutes later they are out of time outs and in need of a field goal to tie the game so they spike the ball and kick a 54 yarder and miss, ending the game. Those two decisions if not made by him are more than likely a 6 point swing in the Chargers' favor, which would have resulted in them playing Indi the week after, a team that they consistently beat during this era. I love Marty but his decision making in that game is something that I will never forget.

I think the "one mistake" was the last fumble recovery that lead to a Patriots touchdown and 2-point conversion to tie the game. After that, it was almost prophecy that the Patriots would win that game.

Red Hoth Chili Peppers That was where it went downhill, but San Diego made a lot mistakes throughout the game.

Javier Orihuela That was stupid on Spanos’ behalf. Norv Turner then proceeded to run the team Marty built up into the ground.

Letting New England score that touchdown late in first half was a killer

@@waffles5433 Yea I agree. SD and New England both blew alot of chances.

That strip really changed the complexion of the game, can you imagine San Diego up by 8 with under seven minutes and they drive down the field and waste three to four minutes!! The score would’ve been 24-13 with three minutes left if that strip never happened

Number 20 for San Diego shouldn't have coughed up the rock immediately after picking Brady off. Dude basically won it for them, and then lost it for them in a matter of 2 seconds.

@@aabidrajwani6921 yup. and they would have won the super bowl most likely. sad ending for them. not to mention mcrees interception was on 4TH DOWN!! he didn't even need to catch it, yet he does then fumbles it & gives them a 1st down. unbelievable. its sad for LT and gates, and also rivers who actually led a great last drive against Brady that ended in a missed kick

I still wonder how the Chargers would’ve fared if Marty was kept in 2007. Im sure they would’ve been favorites to win it all

You guys were the best team that year, no question. But like March Madness, in a single elimination the best team doesn't always win.

It was really weird. Marty is no idiot and he’s usually in control of everything. I still wonder what went wrong.

Projekt 6 they had an inexperienced QB who was effectively in his first season. If the GM hadn’t drafted Eli Manning when it was clear that they already had a good QB then Drew Brees would have been the QB in this game and they would have had a guy with more experience executing in big games.

Projekt 6 and further from that Marty has a proven track record for not being able to coach a team to win big games and it was the case in this game as well. Going for it on 4th and 11 on the 30 yard line in the 1st quarter with the game tied and then using a challenge flag when it was obvious that McCree had fumbled the ball cost the Chargers multiple chances to kick high % field goals in this game

I thought the same thing . Rivers wouldve been better off throwing it away and stopping the clock. With 8 seconds left they should have run 1 more play. A shot downfield or a quick sideline play. A 54 yarder has maybe a 2/5 chance. Bad clock management

So you tuned in to the Jaguar game as well I see 😢

And great tailgating

but u didn't

With winning the superbowl that year it wouldve been good enough for me

@One Issue Voter The owner can pay for the stadium

Chargers always find ways to lose when it matters the most, that's their history
