Right now I'd be open to anything to change the Chargers...after we play the season out. I'm with Lynn on win the next game.

From a long term perspective, given the record and low probability of getting into the playoffs, a better draft spot is probably better and wouldn’t serve to attenuate possible executive decision-making after season’s end. |

I actually think there's a better chance of winning the division than there is of getting in as a wild card. The two teams ahead of us are only two games up We could rend up being the Division champs if we win out. On the other hand, there just too many teams in the running for the wild card to think we can pull that off. Anyway you look at it, the Chargers would have to win out.

It is starting to cycle that way. I don't like our head to head tie breakers for wild card either. Like the Steelers, Houston, and Tenn. have beat us. But we have beat the Colts. We will have had to beat JAX, KC twice, and split with the raiders just to have this conversation at the end.

Okay, I'm going to throw this out here ... 2019/2020 playoffs?
after a few days of depression I started looking at the wild card teams and a lot of them play one another and can end up 8-8 (even the 7-3 Bills have a brutal final 6 games and can end up 8-8)
so ... we have the bye, we aren't a horrible team as witnessed by all the close games ...
perhaps the bye, the frustration, Rivers plays lights out, and possible luck gets us on a roll and we win all the close games and end up 9-7 and get a wild card playoff spot??

The defence will be getting guys back, so that should help a bunch on that side of the ball. The problem is the OL sucks, and is not getting anyone back....... The Bolts are not eliminated, but they sure are headed that way.

I’m stealing this from another forum/post but it shows the decade of mediocrity we’ve experienced since LT left. No AFC west titles, a couple of wild card win that flamed out in the divisional round. Read it and weep.
2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.
4 straight AFC West titles.
LT was face of franchise.
League MVP in 2006.
They went 13-3 in 2009, LT final season with Bolts.
2010-2019.
Not a single AFC West title.
And only 1 season in a decade of 10+ wins in regular season. The franchise has under performed during Rivers time here. Rivers late close game one possession situational football has not been good enough to get just 1 more win to boost some of those 9-7 years to 10-6.
2010 9-7
2011 8-8
2012 7-9
2013 9-7
2014 9-7
2015 4-12
2016 5-11
2017 9-7
2018 12-4
2019 4-7
if my math is correct that is combined 76-79 regular season record for the last decade. No AFC West titles. That is not 1st ballot hof numbers to go with all his passing stats.
Been asking for a few season to spend a 1st on a QB.
As the Rivers era just could not seem to get over the hump and win the divison anymore and Rivers was closer to the end of his career than the beginning.
3 HCs & 2 GMs and various rosters somehow just wasnt quite the right recipe for success. Some of the more talented squads during the decade seemed to under achieve as well.
Plenty blame to go around to question the car and crew setting up the driver for success. But for me in a QB driven league. Rivers driving simply wasn't good enough. It was very very good, sometimes great and even amazing. But never consistently great. Up and down. And, IMO, it was sometimes spastic and out of control.
It is what it is.
You are what your record says you are.

I can understand 16yr QB declining in arm strength. Rivers is declining in decision making. Thats Rookie mistakes.
Time to move on. Cant blame O-line when Rivers doesnt hit the open reciever and throws INT instead.

Team sources say Philip Rivers may not play for Chargers in 2020. With no extension talks planned, decline in play & Rivers’ lack of interest in promoting LA.. Could be critical elements moving forward & team inclined to go in a different direction.
Per Jason Lacanfora

Could be critical elements moving forward & team inclined to go in a different direction. Per Jason Lacanfora So the guy that cleans the offices crossed paths with TT one evening and simply asked: Will Rivers be the QB next year? TT being nice to all staff responded: Maybe, maybe not.....we have really had any extension conversations yet. Then the kid adds in his own take on Rivers' decline in play, and that Rivers never seemed to like it here in Carson.....Bam! Jason adds his twist about the team's inclinations and out with a huge scoop he comes.......media crap.
