The Donks thought they were sitting pretty at 6-0 last year and missed the playoffs. Nothing is going to be clinched this weekend one way or another. Give 'er beans though. Kerry Collins needs all the support he can find. :D

Also, another thing to factor in is the changing of the guard in the afc west. For too long, this division has been dominated really only be one team. Thats coming to an end. The chiefs are getting better, as are the raiders. The chargers have been given the division crown, rather than being challenged for it.

These late second half heroics in the season by San Diego will prove to be more of a pest than a "sure lock" for the AFC west crown. To put it simply, they will no longer be able to afford starting out slow anymore. Those days are over! You either come out of the gate hot, or you watch the playoffs instead of participating in them come January.

Was it 2007 that the chargers went 8-8 and won the division? Yea, those days are over.

2008.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The San Diego Chargers got lucky. Even better, they've got Philip Rivers.

After their onside kick bounced off Chiefs wideout Dwayne Bowe's chest and Kassim Osgood recovered for San Diego, Rivers needed just four plays Sunday to complete one of the most stirring comebacks of the season.

With 1:19 left, Rivers hit Malcom Floyd with a 4-yard TD pass. Then his 10-yarder to Vincent Jackson with 36 seconds to go lifted the Chargers to a 22-21 victory over the stunned Chiefs, who led 21-3 in the third quarter.

After their try for a two-point conversion failed, the Chargers (6-8) still needed help from the football gods. Aided by a delay-of-game penalty, the Chiefs (2-12) tried a 50-yard field goal on the final play. Connor Barth, who had been 9-for-9 before missing a 34-yarder in the first half, was wide left.

By the numbers the Raiders should be predicted to LEAD the AFCW.

They have not only beaten two AFCW teams but have CLOBBERED them.

Kerry Collins is a PSU player (unstoppable), he'll be fine.

I still have 4 of his rookie cards.

Dude could have been a HOF'er if he wasn't a Jeff George level d!ck for the first 1/2 of his career...

5%? You guys give the Broncos too much credit.

Chiefs 99%
Raiders 1%
Chargers 15%
Broncos -15%

KC's fate is sealed

written in stone

it's in the bag, Sirs

Chiefs:51
Bills: 0

Exactly why I think they will finish 2nd or push KC for 1st in the AFC West. They've already played the Donks and Chargers, one being on the road. KC has only played 1 divisional game and it was at home. There is still a Lot of food to be eaten on this table.

Broncos - 3%

Raiders - 37%

Chargers - 60%

Chiefs - 147%

Football Outsiders has us at 93.8% to make the playoffs, and 8.1% to win the Superbowl. Sounds about right.

In a frickin' monsoon as well. I agree with your last comment.
