After a 37-7 beating the Chiefs took in front of their own fans, San Diego did everything but take our lunch money on Sunday.

The elements made for an ugly game from the start, but the Chiefs competitiveness made it even uglier as the Chiefs surrendered with fifteen minutes left in the game. 

The first quarter flew by with the Chiefs facing a deficit of 14.  As the Chiefs entered the second quarter the Chiefs secondary was once again victims of the "big" play.  This time it wasn't one big play that not once but twice as Philip Rivers connected with Vince Jackson on two 51-yard bombs just in the 2nd quarter.  Thankfully, the Chiefs defense held the Chargers on both of these drives to just two field goals.  The score at halftime was 20-0 Chargers.

As the Chiefs came out of the locker room they showed that they had a little life left as Matt Cassel orchestrated a drive that ended in a 7-yard Dwayne Bowe TD catch.

Into the third quarter, their was a feeling of comeback as the Chiefs defense looked alive in the early parts of the second half.  However, the feeling of a comeback was quickly replaced with the feeling of surrender.

On a pivotal third down the Chiefs sent the 'house' on a blitz, which allowed Rivers to find an open Darren Sproles weaving his way to the end zone on a 58-yard touchdown.

Immediately thereafter, the Cassel went on to throw 3 interceptions in a matter of maybe 5 minutes.  The first interception was an embarrassing throw to Sean Ryan, which went 10 yards over his head.  The next two picks just proved to be icing-on-the-cake for another Chiefs' meltdown.

Then the Chiefs' special teams decided to get in on the dysfunction, when they allowed a blocked punt for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.  At this point, it wasn't just any hopes of even a good game that left Arrowhead stadium, but also the majority of the fans.

Neither the defense or the offense was capable of competing at the level of the Chargers on Sunday.   When the Chiefs were able to get the ball across the 50-yard line the Chargers were able to force a turnover.  When the Chargers faced 3rd and long, they countered with a 50-yard bomb down the field.

The team and the fans can get over getting beat by 30 points on your home field, they can get over getting pummeled by a division rival, they can handle the "franchise quarterback" looking like Ryan Leaf on a bad day, they can getting another top-5 pick in the draft next year, but what they can not handle is the team giving up.

After the third interception in the fourth quarter, Todd Haley quit coaching.  The game no longer was about trying to win or even come back, it became a waving the "white flag" moment.  Todd Haley gave up trying to score.

With the Chiefs down 37-7 in the final quarter, Todd Haley called a three running plays on one four down series.  The most disgusting part of this series was that he called a running play on fourth down, which was stopped by the way.  Knowing the team couldn't win, Haley chose not to try to close the gap, but rather run out the clock. 

It was as if Haley was just counting down the minutes until the bye week.  Without a soul in the stands, it seemed that the team and the coach surrendered to the Chargers on their own home field.

The team had given up on the coach, as well as the coach gave up on the team.....completely unacceptable.
