When was the last time SD had a team up for it all only to crap it away? Didn't the Padres make it around like 98? As I recall they didn't stand a chance that year. I can't remember any other time when a SD team was really close, but I could be missing something. Cleveland has had more shots and just continues to not get over the hump.

Chargers lost '95 Super Bowl and 2008 AFCCG

2006 Chargers

Home game against New England in the divisional round. Something weird happened on a New England 4th down play late in the game. I believe San Diego intercepted a pass on 4th down, then fumbled immediately, before the player went down, and New England recovered and got 4 new downs. Would have sealed the game for SD.

Instead, New England went on to score and win the game. The Patriots lost in Indy the next week. The Chargers would have gotten the Colts at home in the AFC Championship game. Then a lackluster Bears team in the Super Bowl.
