I've heard a lot of talk this year questioning the quality of the Bolts physical training staff because of all the injuries. Well it seems that if anything, it's the complete opposite.

The Chargers athletic training staff was recently named Athletic Training Staff of the Year by the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS).

Bolts From The Blue Hottest to Not.

Here we are, another disappointing day and another Charger post season loss. Like you all, I'm sad and upset and confused. What went wrong? What happened? How did the Chargers go from the "Hottest team in the League" to... this?

More after the jump

The Cowboys and Chargers are frauds

This was my Super Bowl last year, so I know the frustration in banking on these teams. Some call them paper champions. But this is a bust, contrary to popular opinion.

Have you noticed how strong a Norv Turner-coached team is in December? They haven't lost during the Christmas season under Norv. That's pretty amazing. Did you see Tony Dungy on television Sunday night saying that the one team the undefeated Colts don't want to face is the San Diego Chargers? Sure, the Chargers sputtered to start the season. Injuries, bad run defense, Shawne Merriman's poor play and a struggling LaDainian Tomlinson were reasons why.

But San Diego has hit its stride, winning seven in a row after starting the season 2-3. Philip Rivers is playing incredible football and is fourth on my list for league MVP. Tomlinson has found his stride. Antonio Gates is making plays again. Vincent Jackson is a beast. The defense is making plays and playing with a ton of confidence. You don't want to admit it, but this team can do some damage in the playoffs.

And even if the Chargers lose in Dallas, I don't see them folding down the stretch. For the record, I do think they win Sunday and eventually win the AFC West. The Chargers' ultimate upside is winning the Super Bowl this year.

And while the task is daunting with their difficult schedule, I still think Tony Romo, Wade Phillips and Co. get it done. I loved how Keith Brooking came to Wade Phillips' defense this week after the coach was getting beaten up by the local news media. That's classic Brooking leadership.

Dallas gets two more wins down the stretch, and that's enough to make the tournament.

Bolts From The Blue Broncos’ Orton Will Play Despite Ankle Injury

NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi is reporting Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton will play this week against the San Diego Chargers despite an injured left ankle.

Orton sat out the second half of Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the Redskins after he was injured during a scramble late in the first half, and refused to speculate on the severity of the injury following the game.
