Chargers on their season and Chiefs

...Reviewing the season, Gates brought up the opening-night loss to the Chiefs, and the continued success of the Patriots, who won at San Diego en route to becoming the AFC's top seed.

Kansas City's victory, fueled in part by a few 2010 draftees, "gave the Chiefs that confidence and that motivation of, 'Look, we beat the Chargers, we can beat a lot of teams,' " Gates said. "To me, had they not won that game, their season would not have turned out the same."

A Pro Bowl regular, Gates also praised the Patriots for an efficient brand of ball, contrasting a Chargers team that lost nine fumbles more than it recovered.

"They haven't thrown an interception in forever," he said. "That means they're taking care of the football, and I think that's a start for any team -- taking care of the football. And special teams are phenomenal for the Patriots."

Burnett said he probably will not watch the playoffs. Rivers and center Nick Hardwick said they will watch because they might learn something that could help the Chargers next year.

"I will definitely watch the Jets and Colts game," Gates said. "And I will watch the Chiefs game."

Gates said he believes another AFC West team might have fared better than the Chiefs will fare.

Surprisingly, the other AFC West team he mentioned was not the Chargers, but another San Diego rival whose recent drafts are paying off.

"Personally, no disrespect to the Chiefs, I think the Raiders (8-8) would have represented the AFC West better, if I had to take a pick of who I wanted to go," Gates said. "Because the Chiefs are still pretty young. They're a young team. They're talented, but they are a young team. But, they played tremendous this year."

Loser says what?

Sounds pretty disrespectful to me.

The Raiders can only beat AFC West teams, so unless they are facing AFC West teams in the playoffs their prospects aren't any better than the Chiefs' prospects.

I would say he is pretty spot on with the whole article.

Anything we do from this point on is just icing on the cake IMO. A young team getting some playoff experience. Gotta love it!

The Chiefs can only beat teams with losing records. You guys only won one game against teams with a record better than 8-8.

Thanks for the reminder, GoChiefs. Although that is a statistic of concern.

Better still, how many games did the Broncos and Raiders lose to teams who finished under-.500 and/or out of the playoffs?

He's probably right.

However, he's sitting at home ... along with the faiders and the goats and a crapload of other teams while we ... the Chiefs ... play on.

So, in the immortal words of Mr. bignastykcnut, Stuff it, Gates. You big whiny bitch.

The Broncos can only beat 4 teams. Out of 16.

1/4.

That's cool. You should watch the tape of that game this Sunday at noon while Chiefs fans sit around and stew. Oh, wait...
