19-9 final score, Chargers Defense looked great. A 3-3 start with some winnable games coming up, the Chargers need to go 3-1 vs KC and Denver to have a legit playoff shot. Something tells me KC will fade down the stretch.

I think they can go 2-2 and still be in good shape as along as they beat Miami. I think KC is legit for regular season, that defense is no joke. But they don't have the horses for a post season run. I think Denver is more likely to fade. Manning and passing offenses tend to fade a bit as the weather gets colder and Denver has 4 consecutive (potentially) cold games in starting right before Thanksgiving (@ne, @kc, TEN, SD). I still think they're the class of the conference but they won't be undefeated come playoffs.
The game against Miami will be huge though, especially already holding the tie-breaker over Indy (though I think Indy wins their division).

Forgot my last caveat:
Most likely, the team will come together and be playing pretty good ball by the end of the season and will really regret the losses that are already on their schedule as they *just* miss the playoffs.

Another win vs Jacksonville. Offense game plan seems solid and the defense is on a roll.

Strangely, I think the injuries to the defensive "stars" (excluding Weddle) have been good for the D. Pagano is creating better defensive game plans and is being more aggressive than usual. Otherwise, he might've been content to sit back a little more and let guys like Freeney and Johnson use their skills rather than a defensive scheme to disrupt the opposing offenses.
