What is that saying....'you are what your record says you are'.....Chargers are 3rd best in AFCW right now. I am not buying Denver or Las Vegas.....but I also think KC is still very much in this AFCW battle. I agree. KC is still a dangerous team. And note that I didn’t say “highest ranked.” True, but that is just semantics......Your point was the Chargers are the best club in the AFCW, and by the measuring stick universally used, they are not.

That is indeed how the game is measured by rule. But sometimes the team is just better or worse than that.

If you string it out for the year that makes us 11-6.I can live with that. Bolt Up Because I said to. We're on schedule with my preseason expectations. As always, stuff happens but we may finish well anyway. Staley is a different kinda HC. Go Bolts!
Chargers have I think the 3rd or 4th toughest schedule......not like it can't be done, but going to be an earned winning record.

Yea, there is many a club that felt they belonged in the PO's, yet their record prevented their entry......the measuring stick is all that matters.

To the measurement of the ultimate outcome of the game, yes. You keep suggesting that’s all that matters to everyone in all contexts with respect to the “best” and that’s simply not the case. There are teams with lesser win records that are fundamentally better teams than those with greater win record. Of course, the game doesn’t care—but I do.

Against Giants, JAX, and the Jets. I mean my heavens above. C'mon now.

Nice try Lightsout, but my statement was very narrow in context, and applies to the only context that matters....the actual standings. The aspect you are embracing is the one that creates interest, fans, debate......sells the game. There are so many cliché statements....'the better team lost today', 'this team is better than its' record' etc etc......

If you think that your commitment to pedantry and saying how right you are over and over is going to be persuasive then you will probably find it endlessly confounding when we ignore you.
