"Also, seven of the Chargers' nine losses last season were by one score, including five by five points or less, with two of those coming in overtime. They won their final four games after a 3-9 start, which reflects a roster filled with character and leadership." I agree with this, and we need to turn those one score losses into wins. We REALLY are that close. I see playoffs this year. Def. goal. Playoffs are realistic IMO. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get there. But I’m usually disappointed Our excitement will be that much more if we can get there.

I think KC is beatable and Denver/Vegas are overrated.

The AFC/ NFC ea send 7 teams to playoffs. #1 conf seeds get a bye week. So,is seeding based on a straight W-L for all games played?

The 4 Division winners would make up seeds 1-4, based upon their records. Then the three wildcards make up seeds 5-7, based upon their records. Look at them as two different groups. In your example up above, the Chargers would be the 5th seed. Now, only the Number 1 seed gets a bye week. The No. 2 seed will face the No. 7 seed, No. 3 will play No. 6 and No. 4 will draw No. 5. In your example up above, the Chargers would be on the road against the number 4 seed. (at Buff.)

When he's on the field we are in every single game. Now we just have to help him. In a 17 game season our next best player is named Health. He plays every week and we need him to positively contribute to our team.

We've reached the point I was looking for. 7 AFC playoff teams = 4 Div winners + 3 best AFC W-L results that did not win their Div, correct?

You are welcome, and yes that is the format the last time I looked at it which was months ago. There was still mystery about the seedings, IDK if it changed or not.

I haven’t been super plugged in but I haven’t heard of any changes to seeding.

If KC is ridiculously successful as predicted, #2 in the AFCW may be the #5-6 playoff seed. We absolutely need to come out strong. After NFC tune-ups vs Was & Dal we have a stretch of 4 Conf opponents, incl KC & LV, Bye wk, then NE. IF we're reasonably healthy and the coaching comes through, we are talented on offense, defense and should be avg or better on STs. We got a shot.

KC is gonna win a lot of games. They have an amazing QB and HC combo, plus one of the best TE WR combos. Whether or not we can compete is anyone’s guess, but it’s gonna depend mostly on our new coaching staff.
