What do you see from this popular AFC Super Bowl pick this season?

 

[fthft]

8-8, home for the playoffs.

 

[drew4008]

Not completely finished yet. 9-7 for a wild card is still a slight possibility, so if they could go 6-2 from here out, they might be in the picture. They play the Steelers and Colts still, and the Broncos again, and maybe the Bucs game could be close. They got their pass defense under control there in the 4th quarter, so maybe that spells good things... but I hope not.

 

[Basileus777]

They won't make the playoffs. Their defense is one of the worst in the league. They have absolutely no pass rush and their secondary is being exposed.

 

[pwes]

They are not making the playoffs

I think Denver is bad enough that SD can snag the AFC West title.

The Norv Turnerism of a talented but immature team continues. They should try to bring Schottenheimer out of retirement next year, it's their only hope of seeing the playoffs for a long time (even if they don't get past the 1st round).

Over on another site that focuses on the draft, there's at least one draftnik who's suggested the Classers will fire Norv and hire JMcD.

at this point i'd settle for the highest draft pick possible

the D we have is the worst in the nfl, and will kill us if we're lucky enough to make the playoffs

 

[jcdavey]

i still can't believe this D destroyed a 5-2 NE team, 30-10


too bad all our games can't be on primetime lol

You'd think so, but that happened to the Pats last year and it sucked. Every time they played it HAD to be Sunday/Monday night.

that is one thing i hate about my team, they have no sense of urgency, and they don't show up to non primetiem games, they are pretty undisciplined

that being said , i don't blame norv, i blame the dcoordinator

norv's offense has been great this year

the D is pathetic

 

[Rob0729]

The Chargers are playing for the AFC West or bust. They got next to no shot at the Wild Card in my eyes. I think they have a shot at 8-8 or a slight chance for 9-7, but that is slim now. It all depends on how well the Broncos play the rest of the way. If the Broncos continue to flounder, then the Chargers have a shot at the playoffs.

It was their Super Bowl. They put all their energy since the offseason just to beat the Pats. It was their mission. They succeeded, but they unfortunately didn't focus their team to win many other games. Add their travel schedule and they could be done already.

 

[Disco Volante]

3-5 teams that ended up making the playoffs since 1990...

1990 Saints (8-8)
1994 Patriots (10-6)
1995 Lions (10-6)
1996 Jaguars (9-7)
2002 Jets (9-7)

 

[Sivy]

I've said the chargers are overratted since who knows when, and most you you told me I was wrong, and they were a solid team. Yea, ok.

 

[ScottieC]

The Chargers Board must be a hoot right about now.

Sproles81
we're never prepared for a game.

dizzydee
Ppl are going to bag it up. BHC is hiring.

SDFAN4LIFE
Oh well, saves me lots of money this Christmas. When Chargers do good, I send all my friends some sort of Charger gear. Not this year.

SDevolution8
Time to start doin Homework on my sundays now..

ChargerTAP
i can't even express my feelings right now

bluehair
I wonder if AJ will even admit something is wrong. Is this a slow start still? THEY ARE the MOST unprepared team in the NFL each week.

RAWDOGG
gettiing sick of these guys ruining my weeks............

thezerokid's
we might as well lose out and get a good draft pick, we suck

frozendisc
Thank God we have hockey.......

chargersrule9
Pittsburgh and Indy will put the final nail in the coffin. Give up the playoff hopes now before you set yourself up for disappointment.

MacChargerfan
I have lost my patience, every time we have talented teams they figure ways to trip over themselves and lose, not horrifically but repeatedly. I'm out, I'm fed up and torn apart at how we assemble teams here and don't push the envelope and achieve what super teams do, they cull their experiences and elevate their gamesmanship.

Michael Labit
Yes I Agree Can You Say 2005??? We Wont Even Make The Playoffs This Year. Perhaps We Should Consider Moving The Raiders Down Here. At Least They Have Won A Super Bowl...

Chargersrmylife's
I don't think it can get any painful than this

 

[OhExaulted1]

Thank you SD for that mid-40 pick that we hopefully don't waste on a wideout.
