The Chargers will win the AFC West

[stevsta]

I can see oakland going to the playoffs with campbell starting

[Woy]

Whenever they beat the Titans a few weeks ago, I knew it was about to happen again. Rivers is going to do anything he can to get the Chargers back into the playoffs.

[Epidemik]

all we do know about the AFC west is that Denver Sucks

[Blick]

What's the difference? 300 yards of offense from Jason Campbell is 300 yards.

The fact that it was in the 2nd half only means that the Raiders adjusted and the Chiefs didn't so Cable outcoached Haley. Which makes your team look even shittier.

Don't get butthurt because Campbell threw for 300 yards, 2 TDs, and no INTs vs your team.

LOL at this part. Chiefs didn't cover a kickoff and Jacoby Ford is a lot faster than Brandon Flowers. That's the ballgame right there and that's on the players.

[Hasselbeck]

I tend to agree with Bromar here. I can see the Bolts winning the AFC West and Rivers winning MVP because he's going to come close to Marino's record..

I can also see them unraveling and the Raiders winning the division.

Who knows?

can't see it happening.

With all due respect to Flowers and the Chiefs D, Ford shat on them 2-3 times before that catch.

And I know a couple of those were lucky, but the fact is, Ford came down with those balls and the Chiefs D refused to give him, or any of the Raiders receivers, any respect and they surrendered 300 yards to them over the last 2-3 quarters.

Sure, blame it on the players. But don't act like coaching has nothing to do with it.

Oakland looked like absolute shit in the first half. Fumbling, missing blocks, missing receivers, etc. They didn't do anything right. Then all of a sudden, in the second half, they took the game over in all 3 aspects.

Anyways, in regards to this thread, I'm not that optimistic about the Raiders postseason chances because the fact of the matter is that the team has a ton of holes and I don't believe in Jason Campbell. This team has already over achieved in my eyes (thus far), I'll be happy if they can win 2-3 more games but I fully expect the Chargers to get their shit together and win the division because they are better at every offensive position when healthy and have a more complete defense. Their SPT has just been downright awful.

Whatever team comes out of the West, I do not like their chances to make a playoff run. Chargers could surprise, but Norvell Turner will make sure they don't go too far. I actually like their chances to win the division right now. Seems they are getting healthy and getting players back at the right time.

Yeah. Flowers is one of the top corners in the league, and had a bad game. Shit happens.

The Chiefs looked like shit too. KC is one of the least penalized teams in the league and they had a ridiculous amount of penalties to counter all of Oakland's bullshit.

We're in the same boat as far as not believing in our teams. Smart money is on San Diego to take over and win the division, but this is a strange year in the NFL. I think anything could happen. But maybe that's just the homer in me talking.

Double Coverage :noidea:

Eric Berry was blitzing a lot, and the other corner, Brandon Carr needs safety help a lot more. Flowers is a really good corner and for the Chiefs to play well, he has to be able to hold his own by himself. He usually does.

Denver exposes this farce on Monday night...

...but still lose by two touchdowns.

[Aso]

But if the Broncos lose to the Chargers which they probably will then they have no shot at the playoffs.

If your ability to pick games is anything like your ability to create mock drafts I don't think I have anything to worry about.

In my '09 mock I had the most picks of anyone on VSN. In VSN's Pick 'Em league on Yahoo I had a winning record until I dropped out because of not having available internet on time. You have plenty to worry about.

Don't get cocky and think your teams good just because you had one blowout win. The Broncos still suck, so don't worry about it.

[GoChargers]

Denver aren't the issue, lets talk about the 3 relevant teams.
