How great would it be to see an 8-8 team host the Championship game?

Considering it is the Chargers. Not all that great. Personally, I think it is a shame that an 8-8 team actually got into the playoffs (even 9-7 if you don't count the bad call against the Broncos). Having them host an AFC Championship would be disgusting if you asked me.

I don't care what their record was for the season, what matters is they've won last 5 games. They are peeking when if matters, at playoffs. Anyways, if they win the next game, they deserve to be in AFC Championship, hosting would be a bonus for me

I know it's frustrating what happened but if this happened it's all moot IMO. Regardless of their record, IF they make it to the conference championships I'd say they've proven they belong here.

I'd rather see the Chargers or Ravens in there than the Steelers and Titans. Hopefully, San Diego can go into Steel City next weekend and melt the Steelers.

Thanks for the support. It should be a tough game but I give the Chargers the edge because Roethlisberger is injured and probably won't play. So, Philip Rivers > Byron Leftwich.

The Chargers were really down in a hole, never gave up. I thought they were DOA.
Good for them if they host the AFCCG.

I'd love to see the 8-8 team host the championship.

The only problem is that I want to see them go down when they're oh so close in front of their fans, and for this to happen Baltimore would be the SB representative. But I hate Balt. slightly less than Tennessee.

Indeed. All the hate over the years from the Colts, Chargers, Phins, Steelers, Titans, Ravens, (in that order) is doubled if not trebled on the way back.
