The Raiders have a chance too.


the whole division is pretty wide open, according to the actual odds...


theres not even a real clear favorite with the chargers having about a 33% chance and the raiders maybe around 28% and the donks 25% and us even just taking the scraps leaves us with a decent shot at it


anyone who is 'crowning them champs' does not understand math...they are VERY slight favorites in a tough , wildly close division

They have a lot of flashy pieces and a damn good low-stakes QB. Rivers is really really good... until the pressure gets too much, and he somehow manages to fold. Dude just doesn't show an ability to turn it up when it's all on the line.

Who is Keenan Evans?

chargers will show flashes of greatness then crash and burn again.

Why? It's the offseason....they print enough crap to keep people reading.

Because they have the best team on paper in the division.

BossChief 05-15-2018 11:56 AM

If they stay healthy, they should be able to have a shot in every game they play.

Unfortunately, team health has killed them the last couple years.

Melvin Gordon sucks. Dude hasn't broken 4.0 YPC in his career yet.

Keenan Allen can barely finish a season.

Philip Rivers, though i'm a fan of the man, his play on the field is below average. Dude hasn't been the Philip Rivers people know for about the last 5 years now.

The defense is legit. And sure they have some nice pieces. But they're still the Chargers. The Chargers are the epitome of perpetual mediocrity.

Former Texas Tech hoops player.

Maybe they are gonna make him a WR.

I don't see why they shouldn't get any hype. Legit defense and an offense with dangerous weapons and a borderline HOF QB.

Marcellus 05-15-2018 12:09 PM

Isn't this what is predicted every single year? Then they end up the most talented 8-8 team ever.

Exactly. I still remember the immediate post Marty, Norv years. The Chargers, yearly, were pronounced the "Best team to not make the playoffs!" by the national media. LMAO

MahiMike 05-15-2018 12:23 PM

I see these games as our most exciting. 5 turnovers between Rivers and mahomes then 2 scores in the final minutes. We win of course..

BossChief 05-15-2018 12:23 PM

GMFB was doing a bit a couple weeks ago where they started it off with “this is the time of the year we talk about the Chargers winning their division”

I laughed.
