Kansas City (6-4)
at Seattle - L 6-5 (Chiefs have struggled on the road, this would be a good time to step up and get a good road win)
Denver - W 7-5
at San Diego - L 7-6
at St Louis - W 8-6 (I think they will beat either Seattle or St Louis on the road, I doubt they lose both)
Tennessee - W 9-6
Oakland - W 10-6
Those last two games are not gimmees but at home we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Oakland (5-5)
Miami - W 6-5 (this could go either way, I guess I'll take the home team)
at San Diego - L 6-6
at Jacksonville - L 6-7 (another toss up, because I said they beat Miami, I'll say they lose here)
Denver - W 7-7
Indianapolis - L 7-8
at Kansas City - L 7-9
Not quite this year for the Raiders.
San Diego (5-5)
at Indianapolis - L 5-6
Oakland - W 6-6
Kansas City - W 7-6
San Francisco - W 8-6
at Cincinnati - W 9-6
at Denver - W 10-6
San Diego would win the tiebreaker over Kansas City. Chiefs would have three division losses and San Diego only two.

then obtain the #4 seed and face off against either the Steelers, Ravens, Patriots or Jets.....all playoff type teams.
The #1 or #2 seed will be NY, Patriots, Ravens or Steelers.....if the Chargers can get by their 1st round game.....which will be against a more playoff like team...they will then have to travel on the road to the cold cities I've already mentioned....THEN if they won would have to face the team that outlasted the toer top teams and unless it is the WC team (and that could very well happen)....they would have to go win another cold weather road game at a tough playoff site.

Ah, it's no Boston Celtics Collapsing thread.
I do have to admit shock that Norv and A.J. Smith are both still employed after this past season. No matter how much talent they have, they'll never sniff a title with those two clowns in key organizational positions.

I'll still give credit. They finished with the #1 overall offense and defense. They finished #1 pass defense, and #2 pass offense to Peyton Manning (imagine that).
I picked the Chargers/Packers in the Super Bowl with the Pack winning. Still trying to figure out how the Chargers didn't win more games.

Because the teams that they lost to scored more points against them throughout the entire game.

I'm pretty sure they were horrible on special teams this year. Gave up a bunch of TD returns and had a number of punts blocked. I didn't really pay much attention to them, but looking at team stats, they also seemed to turn the ball over a lot (13 picks by Rivers and there were a LOT of lost fumbles...14, if I counted them right). They were essentially a good team that made too many mistakes to win consistently.

They were the Ohio State of special teams in the NFL, good call, Heretic.
But they also couldn't protect the QB. Rivers has a quick release, and is an excellent QB, but I can recall a few of his fumbles being forced because the pocket collapsed almost immediately. You can thank McNeill for that holdout. The OL didn't gel until later in the season.
13 interceptions isn't exciting, but it's not terrible.
Peyton, Eli, Brees, Hasselbeck and Cutler all threw more. (I only mention Eli because the Giants were probably the best team not to make the NFC playoffs).
Mark Sanchez threw 13 INT's as well, and threw 13 less touchdowns on the season.
It was just hard luck for the Chargers. Not often that you go #1 on offense and defense and miss the playoffs. In fact, that hasn't happened until this season. Although, it's not often a team goes undefeated in division play and doesn't make the playoffs either (Oakland).

Also, don't forget that they went through WR after WR.
Seyi Ajirotutu, Patrick Crayton, Craig "Buster" Davis, Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd and Antonio Gates were all injured at some point this year, and most games at least two were injured. They didn't have Gates for the like 4 or 5 games.
I think it's incredible that they just kept plugging in wide receivers and Rivers just never seemed to lose timing or anything.

Oh yeah, I only mentioned the 13 picks because combined with the fumbles, that was something like 27 turnovers they had to overcome. Don't know what their +/- rating was, but it couldn't be that good and it's hard to overcome 1.6 or so TOs a game. The fumbles were the bigger thing, as when you lose one nearly every game...that can be a killer. And yeah, they were killed by injuries. If Rivers hadn't done as good as he did, they'd have been horrible, as they didn't have a really great running game to take the pressure off.
