Why are the Chargers that much better?

Not that I'm predicting playoffs or anything. Hell, 8-8 would be fantastic, IMHO, but they shouldn't go 4-12 again.

Should, should, should.

Until I see evidence of improvement on the field (something I did not see during preseason), it's hard for me to imagine this team winning more than six games.

I see 6-10 as a logical prediction but I could also see them at 4-12.

Personally, I think they're stuck in neutral. They probably won't get blown out by 20+ per game as often as last year, but they haven't added the necessary personnel to get this team even close to .500.

I actually think this team has made improvements, and I think Berry is going to have a bigger impact on defense than I had previously envisioned.

However, the fact still remains that they didn't make improvements in the critical areas where games are won and lost, on the nose andon the edge on defense, and most importantly, at QB.
