Chargers fans think they are a playoff team.

8-8 will get a playoff spot. I think Chargers, if they play Herbert, will make the playoffs.

 

Newsflash:

 

If the 2020 Carolina Panthers beat you, you are pretty much eliminated from playoff contention.

The 2020 Panthers minus CMC.

They could not get out of their own way today.  If not for a ton of penalties and turnovers, they would have beat us by 14.  It's like they did not take us seriously and that is probably on the coach

Well, Herbert had some good moments but his turnovers were the difference and those were some bad plays you'd expect from a rookie. If he can eliminate some of those mistakes I could see them sneaking into a wildcard in the AFC.

We're a playoff team, teams who start 0-2 have a 62.7% chance of making the playoffs if they win

We have been competitive in these 3 games and to travel cross country and win this game is impressive.  Defense plays like today and we are going to win more.

Three games does not tell us much.  But at 1-2, with the win against the Bengals, things don't look good for them unless something gives.

They look like a team with a playoff-grade defense.  They've given up 13 to the Bengals, 23 to the Chiefs in an OT game, and 21 against us.  Not shabby.

But, their offense scored 16, 20, and 16 respectively.  If their offense gets to the point it can put up 24 points a game or so, they may be a threat.  Until then, they are going to be close in a lot of games and win a few, but not enough to be a playoff team.

Let's put it this way: their offense has not showed it can put enough points to overcome more than a 13 point fourth quarter deficit against the Falcons.  I think the benchmark to be taken seriously is 17.

Orrrrr we are a fringe playoff team ourselves and just don’t know it yet. 

[Jacabee]

The chargers are a playoff team. Ingram will return and we capitalized on a few awkward calls

[Davidson Deac II]

If the Aints lose tonight, we are tied for second place in the division.

They might be when healthy, especially as Herbert improves.  I think the AFC is pretty open in general. 

[hepcat]

The Chargers think the Panthers are some kind of weird kryptonite to their team based on the history of the last 4 games against them. So they’re probably writing it off as a jinx or something.

There are idiots on every board...have you read some of the posts here?

[PhillyB]

in fairness they were a drop away from beating us
