The playoffs aren't a free ride, what you said sounds like a joke.
The Chargers have been Choke Artists, I will agree with, but that doesn't mean that can't all change this year.

Not saying you would have not gone to the playoffs.. But if you had a competent division you probably would not have won the division two of those times if KC/Den/Oak played to par.. From other teams perspectives your team has NEVER been great like the other division powerhouses of that time..
Playoffs are not a free ride, but IF your teams were as great as you believe they would have at least won each of their first games.. Of course that might the difference, you are buying into the regular season hype.. I am viewing your teams as a better version of the 90's chiefs..
And I do not think the Chargers are choke artists in the playoffs.. You lose the games I expect.. If anything your main achievement is having Peyton's number..
Why exactly do you think your team is better this year??
Now I still expect you to win the division this year, but it will be much closer.. Something like
SD 9-7
Oak 8-8
KC 6-10
Den 5-11
Is Mathews going to save you? Do you expect any dropoff from losing Vincent or was he a prospect of Rivers?? Has McNeill signed?? Is Merriam ever going to come back to steroid form? Do you think your division rivals have gotten better??
