I am a Chargers fan, but I think its a big ask to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC West. As I tell a lot of NFL fans, most 1st ranked division teams would have 2 extra losses in they were in the AFC West. I don't think we'll challenge the Chiefs until at least 2025, when we have salary cap available.
I hope ur wrong because I’m not surprise if the chargers take the afc west by storm ! Sometime things just click and blooming at first sight ! Let’s go !
If Will Levis plays average this season with our talent we can win 10 games no doubt this is the best WR room we have ever had and the best CB room we have ever had both will be top 10 units in the league!!!
Thank you for At least acknowledging the Titans bro everyone has been doubting us talking about our qb or our wr room but not how we flipped our team around
Other the Bengals (with Joe) its so incredibly difficult to care one way or another about the teams you listed... Caleb may peak my interest to a degree but the NFL is loaded with teams that are less interesting than Canadian curling...
The issue is you can make a case for literally 27 teams to be playoff teams. But we know there can’t be 27 good teams. For the titans, it’s what is Levis is good, they have good weapons, and their defense is better with sneed.

@drew388 agreed. Especially when we rejected so much for him a year prior. None the less, our division is weak and think everyone realistically has at least a small chance of winning it. No true powerhouse
Don’t Sleep on the Giants we got a Qb that been waiting in the shadows patiently waiting , that might just get his Shine with all he has learned in different offenses since 2019 !??
San Diego and Cincy do not belong on this list. Yes they were bad teams after they lost their qbs and history has shown teams can survive and even win it all after losing their qb, but we all know both are better with their quarterbacks returning. This list should apply to the stories that can play out like the Texans last year, Indy and the Rams in '99 etc. Teams that come outta nowhere.
Yeah I don't see the Cardinals so its a good thing you kept outta top 5. You'd have to assume the 49ers take a major step back at a conference level due to SB hangover, the Rams wouldn't be competitive post Donald, and that Seattle will miss Pete Carroll and that Mike MacDonald isn't the answer (that in spite of their D troubles was still a 9-8 squad) to fix this D. I can imagine 1 or 2 of those at most and yes I'm being fair and including my Seahawks. The Cardinals leapfrogging all 3 seems like you're hoping for a disaster scenario. I respect what Gannon did but that also comes with the caveat that that Cardinals team is not a talented one. I still see them a year away, even if they do move up the wins standings, I can't see top of the always competitive NFC West. Can't see it.
I don't see it. Burrow has a good record against the Chiefs but bad record against the toughest division in the league. The qb wasn't even the problem last year as Browning had a better qbr. It was the defense that was last place, and it still looks suspicious.
Chargers No. Rich, they're still The Chargers wake up! I don't see The Bangles getting past The Texans. The only AFC teams I see getting past The Texans are The Browns and KC.
Seriously can't wait for Caleb to be one of the biggest bust ever. The fact so many people are hyping him out when he did an average job in college blows me away.
Ya because all those pro scouts, and GM's running multi million dollar teams know nothing. On top of this, why wish the worse on anyone, do you hate the dude?
