I think the Chargers will put together a run and sneak in.
am i the only one who feels like the Chargers have a decent chance at the playoffs?
The AFC is just trash. Watching teams fight for the wild card spots is just a comedy of errors and 8-8 is likely to be enough to get in. That defense is actually pretty good and theres a fair number of weapons on that offense. Rivers is still good enough to string together some fairly decent games of his younger years and Gordon may not have blossomed into everything the chargers had hoped for, but he's still a touchdown machine.
I realize that they started the season 0-4 and only one team in NFL history has made it to the playoffs after such a bad start but that one team happens to be (drum roll please)....
The Chargers. Divine intervention incoming
Even at 3-6, I believed in the chances of the Chargers, but the problem is that they will probably not have the advantage on the tiebreaker with the ravens who have a favorable schedule for the rest of the year.
Tre Boston intercepts Blake Bortles and then Boston taunts the Jacksonville receivers (as opposed to returning the ball 15 yards). The Bolts start their drive at the 10 (instead of the 25)... and when they punt, the Jaguars get the ball at mid-field. That difference in 15 yards might not have mattered, but Joey Bosa slams Bortles down (stupid) after a play is over (incomplete pass)... giving the Jaguars new life. What would have been a Jaguars loss turned into a win, because the Chargers gave them 30 yards (setting up the game-tying FG).
The race for the 6th seed in the AFC this year, it's like in 2013 when nobody seems to want it, so much that the 8-8 steelers(who was 0-4,2-6 and 5-8) almost made the playoffs in 2013 by accident!
Damn ! The F'kn bungholes beat Denver and now all you hear on the cincy new's channels are how..with the win the bungholes are play-off bound...with the brownies next. UGH....damn Denver !
I was too, but the more I thought about it its irrelevant. Steelers must win against Pats to get Number one seed. If Pats win they would basically have to lose twice and Steelers win out for Steelers to get the 1. Not gonna happen with their schedule , theres is easier than ours. Steelers control their own destiny which is great. Last few years we have needed help which is very stressful. I think Ravens get in as well, Bills have a tough schedule.
I think the Charger's could do it too....but, don't forget about the Saint's with Bree's. There are some dangerous 4--6 teams.
The saints are in the NFC and they are 8-2.
