The Chargers will win the AFC West

[GoChargers]

No way the conference is garbage the division winner is going one and done... It's laughable to even suggest the the AFC West would get two teams in the playoffs this year.

Have a look at these schedules;

Chiefs: vs Broncos, @ Chargers, @ Rams, vs Titans, vs Raiders.

They should go 2-1 in their home games and have a good shot to go 1-1 in the other 2.. Puts them at 10-6.

Chargers: vs Chiefs, vs 49ers, vs Rams, @ Bengals, @ Broncos.

I don't want to say we're gonna win out because anything can happen, but I'd be very surprised if we lose another home game this year and we should be able to handle our last 2 games pretty comfortably. For arguments sake we'll say we drop 1 - also puts us at 10-6


1 team will come from the South, 2 from the East.. Leaving the final wildcard spot for the North and West.

Ravens have some very losable games (vs Steelers, @ Texans, vs Saints).

2 playoff teams from the West probably won't happen but is a definite possibility.

The Chargers winning the AFC West is like Johnny Knoxville's The Ringer.

Chargers have the best shot at 10-6 however 9-7 is a more realistic expectation. And no one would be surprised if they won the AFC at 8-8.

No, I was bumping it because the Chiefs are still in first place in the West and already have a win over the Chargers.

The Chiefs made Manning look bad as well in Indy.

LOL Raiders fans.

You're starting to remind me of delusional Denver and Oakland fans from about a month ago.

The Chiefs just beat the Cardinals and Seahawks before they got their asses handed to them by the Broncos and lost to the Raiders. The same Seahawks team that the Raiders beat 31-3 and the Broncos beat 31-14. It's so typical, a team beats a couple of slapdick teams and their fans think they are on the road to win the division.

The Chiefs have beaten one team with a winning record this year. And guess what, that team (Jacksonville 6-5) wasn't even playing with their starting Quarterback.

The Chiefs haven't done anything to impress me. They're a decent team just like 20 other teams in the league this year, but they're not winning the division.

Sorry for not believing. Hold on to your "1 game lead" argument for as long as you can, because it's not going to last very long.

I'm supposed to be impressed by that?

The same Seahawks team that also beat the Chargers. The Browns beat the Patriots. You know what all of that tells me? Nothing. That's how the NFL goes.

I never said you should be impressed. As a Raiders fan, the Chiefs should never impress you. Ever.

I don't give a fuck if you believe or not. Congrats for saying the same thing GoChargers already said in this thread.

You do know that I started this thread, don't you?

You'd also know that I hate the Chargers just as much as I hate the Chiefs or Broncos. I don't have a favorite here, I'm not pulling for the Chargers, I'm just much more impressed by them than any other team in the division right now and rightfully so.

Being a Raiders fan has nothing to do with the Chiefs impressing me. The Chiefs just haven't beaten anyone worth a damn yet. I'd be more impressed with their win vs. SD if it wasn't the first game of the season, they weren't dominated in every aspect of the football game, and if the Chargers were playing then like they are now.

Though I will say that I have been more than impressed with Matt Cassel this season. 22 TDs and 4 INTs is outstanding and he deserves more credit than he's been getting.

Can I count on the Raiders to finish with a winning record after the Chiefs beat them on the last week of the season?

The Chiefs can only play the teams on their schedule. You won't see my saying that the schedule isn't easy.

You also won't see me saying that the Chiefs are a great football team. I haven't said that. You also haven't seen me say that I think they'll win the division.

All I've said is that it's possible.

Do I think KC will beat the Chargers in San Diego? No, I really don't. Can they beat them? Yeah, they can. It's exciting to see what happens.

I think it will be interesting to see how both KC and San Diego handle the pressure. San Diego won the division 2 years ago at 8-8. The Broncos faded last year and gave them an easy path to the division title. I think it will be intriguing to see how San Diego responds if the Chiefs stay step for step with them in the division...since they haven't had to deal with that in recent years.

It's easy to say "Oh, the Chargers will take over and win the division." I say let's wait and see. They don't play well with the hype and expectations early in the season...let's see what they do when they're expected to take the division from the Chiefs.

Thanks Oakland. :smug:

 

[Leftwich]

I honestly don't think they will. They've dug a big enough hole as it is and with Oakland getting hot... i don't know whats gonna happen. Statistically they aren't out of it but the magic they had late last year might not show up again. But the talent they have on that team is amazing and hell i could be wrong and they could go on a tear and win the division but a lot of things have to happen.

:shifty:

They're not out of it yet but the door is closing.

 

[Tailback U]

Thanks Oakland. :smug:

Huge win by the Raiders today. If the Chargers don't make it because of these 2 losses I'm going to be pretty happy.

I'd much rather the Chiefs make it to the playoffs than the Chargers, anyway, I like their team/organization much more than that smug asshole Rivers and that zombie Turner.

 

[GoChargers]

Props to the Raiders for that win, you outplayed us in every aspect.
I'm not writing the season off yet. If we can beat KC next week we're just 1 game back with 3 left. It's anyones division!

 

[Hitman]

Yea.. After that loss to the Raiders it isn't anybody's division anymore.. AFC West belongs to KC..

KC (8-4) remaining schedule: @San Diego, @St. Louis, vs Tennessee, vs Oakland.

SD (6-6) remaining schedule: vs Kansas city, vs San Fran, @Cincy, @ Denver.

I don't take St. Louis lightly, but Tennessee and Oakland coming to Arrowhead are pretty easy bets for wins.. With how the Bolts played against the Raiders, I can see the Chiefs sweeping those bitches and just taking the division next week.

The game vs Denver should have been a blow out but it did show that KC can win the ugly ones finally. The running game is solid and the defense is back in form. The Chiefs are a dangerous team. I hope whoever they get in the playoffs takes them lightly.

 

[Aso]

Lol at the Titans, Raiders, and Chargers easy wins. The Chiefs could easily end 9-7. This is still anybody's division.

Never said the Chargers were an easy win. The Titans and Raiders @ Arrowhead though? Yea, we win both of those handily..

 

[Tailback U]

Yeah since you guys just beat a 3-9 Denver team at Arrowhead so handedly.



I can't speak for Tennessee because they are in shambles right now, but Oakland always comes to play at Arrowhead.

Not to mention the last time the two teams met, the Raiders won without Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, and Louis Murphy.

Like I said, the one thing I can't stand is how fans get so cocky after their teams beat a couple of slapdick teams like the Seahawks and Broncos (by 4 friggin points at home mind you). Especially after the Raiders already beat the Chiefs.

We're starting a back-up quarterback and we've quit on our coach. Yeah, we're an easy win.

I wouldn't be taking Oakland so lightly.. There could be a playoff spot on the line for both teams at that stage.

In Oakland on a kick return and a couple of lucky passes.

I love how the Raider fans get all cocky after their team beats an injured Chargers team and barely wins at home vs the Chiefs (by 3 points in OT on some fluky BS mind you).

Oakland remaining schedule just for those wondering: @Jax, vs Denver, vs Indy, @KC

Like he said, the Chiefs proved they could win an ugly game when things didn't go the right way for them. Champ Bailey shut Bowe out and we still won. So, if Nnamdi takes him away, that's fine. We've proven we can win games in a different fashion.

The offense had a bad game, but the defense was on point. Orton went 9-28 for 117 yards, got sacked 4 times and couldn't find the endzone. The 4th best passing offense in the league got completely shut down.

The cold weather really seemed to limit the passing games for both sides. It's gonna be like zero degrees when Oakland rolls into KC in January. Do you really think the Raiders are going to be able to do anything throwing the ball?

Honestly, if we play good kick coverage and play our usual game, then we get the W at home. It won't be easy, but I'd say it's likely.

Only thing I'm really worried about with the Oakland game is it seems they have found a good mix with the running game.. We didn't do great stuffing the run vs the Broncos twice now and they are never able to run the ball against anybody else. I'm not too concerned with their run defense even though they shut down the Chargers rushing attack yesterday. Our two back system has been able to run against anybody at will and in the cold weather in Arrowhead (hopefully) we should be able to carry that on vs the Raiders..
