[quote name='staticz']Aren't you a Broncos fan? If so, I'm sure you've seen San Diego play the past few years. They should not be included in any 'contention' statements. If anything they're tied with Denver, KC, and OAK.[/QUOTE]
Of course I'm a Broncos fan! Look at the flags!
I have two reasons for having the Chargers on that list.
1. They had an excellent draft
2. Rivers was terrible last year. As much as I can't stand him, I think he'll definitely bounce back and have a strong year.
Two years ago, they had the best offense and defense in the league, and only missed the playoffs because their special teams was historically bad (Is it special teams was or special teams were? Obviously it's a plural phrase, but referring to them as one unit makes it was right? Anyway).
But you have a point. They're on the Tennessee/New York/KC tier, I think. Meaning Baltimore should DEFINITELY make the playoffs.
Also, I take umbrage with your assessment of Denver being on the same level as KC and Oakland. The Broncos are on their own tier in that division, I am sorry
