Why are so many national writers so high on the Chargers?

I think they have a great roster, potentially even better than KC--but until they actually beat the Chiefs, people need to shut the **** up about them being the favorites.

They've lost the last EIGHT times. They blew a massive lead against them. Got whooped last September and then no-showed in a division championship game (essentially) last December.

Not to mention, Andy >>> Lynn.

I literally started laughing when they called Melvin Gordon 'a beast'

5 games he's had 100+ yards.

Only 5 games he's averaged more than 5 yards per carry.

Kareem matched/topped those in 1 season.

Maybe in 1973 you could call a 3.9 YPC back a 'beast', but not when they're always running against DB heavy sub packages.

Gordon sucks.

He hasn't hit the 4.0 ypc mark in a season yet. He's only a beast if you consider a sloth to be a beast.

Wow, those are staggering numbers. The dude is basically just a goalline TD machine but pretty much trash besides that.

He's a decent receiver out of the backfield and he can be tough on short yardage downs.

Yanno how Kareem Hunt had 3 50+ yard TD's in his first 3 games? 4 plays over 50 yards in total?

How many 50+ yard rushes/receptions do you think Melvin Gordon has?

One.

854 touches, and he's had one play over 50 yards.

Kareem Hunt had 2 in his rookie debut. A 58 yard rush and a 78 yard reception.

Rivers is essentially Stafford at this point...a good stat QB with nothing to show for it. Someone who "might" beat you...but if you are an 8-8 or better team...probably wont.

KC has beaten them 8 times is a row....and Rivers "greatness" has averaged 14 points.
