Well as gaudy as Phillip Rivers numbers are right now, he's simply not winning games for his team. In 3 of those 4 Chargers losses, he's had the ball in his hands in the final two minutes with a chance to either tie or win the game and hasn't got it done. Against KC he turned it over on 4th down twice in the final three minutes. He tossed an INT in the red zone against Seattle when they lost that game in the final seconds, and his fumble that was returned for a TD agaisnt the Raiders made a 28-27 game 35-27, and he wasn't able to get them down the field with about two mintues left to go for the tie.
The Special teams have been horrendus, but that team is failing miserably in clutch situations. The defence isn't keeping opponents to field goals on short fields, and the offence isn't getting points at the end of the game when they need them.
