How does a team finish first in the league in offense, and first in the league in defense, and not make the playoffs? Well, you put yourself in a deep hole to start the year like the San Diego Chargers did, and you lose a lot of close games thanks largely to costly special teams blunders that ruin the day and give the game to the other team.

But, as usual, the San Diego Chargers are back with a talented crew, and they are ready to right the wrong that was their 2010 season. Norv Turner is still the head man in charge, although his job looked to be on the line after the team started so poorly.

The club has offensive firepower with quarterback Philip Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates and running back Ryan Matthews. If they can make wide receiver Vincent Jackson happy with a new contract and get him out on the field for a full season, then they will be really dangerous.

On defense, you have guys like Luis Castillo and Shaun Phillips, and a combination of younger upstart guys and veterans in the defensive backfield. They can shut a team down, and the offense can put up points, but they need all phases of the game to perform if they want to return to the playoffs.

Fans buying up all of the 2011 San Diego Chargers tickets will certainly be hoping that all of the gaffes of last season won't return. You can't keep wasting all of the talent with these big names by not winning big in the postseason.
