Eyes Front: Packers Face a Desperate Chargers Team

Packers must establish a ground game early.

It’s a rare thing to be both a mystery and a punching bag at the same time, but the Los Angeles Chargers have managed it. For decades.

What is it about these powder-blue boys that leads them to underperform so consistently, to year after year fool the pundits and dash the raised hopes of their 374 fans, and to fail so spectacularly in the most important moments?

It would be one thing if over the years the SD-LA collective were the Bears or the Jets, with their perennially pathetic rosters, but this is a franchise that’s trotted out the likes of Fouts and Rivers, Seau and Winslow, Sproles and Woodhead, Tomlinson and Gates and many more.
