Starting to get to the point of the season when some teams fans start to clock out early.

What could be one of the few legitimately good teams Denver plays against all year, and San Diego's secondary was banged up. Manning's luck continues. Eventually father time will impact his career, but the question is when.

Yep, I've basically already clocked out of the Skins. I still watch the games, but I'm basically in channel flip mode. We're going to get ass banged by Dallas on Monday.

San Diego is not as good as ppl think.

When they had the easiest schedule.

San Diego probably has one of the toughest schedules. They had a few easy games after their first two, but they have played Seattle, Denver, KC and AZ and beat Seattle and nearly beat KC and AZ.

They are also on their 4th string center, their 4th string rbs, both starting corners are out (which has absolutely killed them the last two games) and key parts of their front seven have been out (Melvin Ingram and Manti Teo).

When healthy, they can beat anyone. As banged up as they are, they will struggle against quality opponents.

Will McCoy play past one half?

Denver is such a machine. Chargers devote resources to shut down the Thomases, and Manning beats them silly with Emmanuel Sanders.

Lost in all the offense is that Denver's defense is playing well. Chargers have a very good offense, didn't look great last night.

They played the jags,jets,raiders in consecutive weeks. (This was the point ppl picked them to be in SB)

Once they played good teams they lost

I saw some pick SB before the season. Well being a fan and watching them every game every season, this team is FAR better than their team last year (when healthy) and that team lost a close game to Denver at Denver in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

They have a brutal schedule the rest of the way, with road games at Miami, SF, KC and Baltimore and home games against NE and Denver. They have to win AT LEAST half of those and take care of their other games to get in the playoffs. It sucks the two toughest divisions play each other. It might allow weaker teams to squeeze into the playoffs.

Manning's career rating is around 98, 8 points below Aaron Rodgers. He always seems to be protected very well and always has good receivers. Having amazing health has helped as well. I have grown to despise him more than any other pro athlete ever. If he retired tomorrow or deteriorated the way 38 year olds usually do I'd enjoy the sport much more. At least it gives me a team to root against.

I thought they would make playoffs. (Still can)
But I had broncos/colts in front of them before season started.
The NFC has been the biggest surprise though with the Lions and Cowboys...
Some people will also say cardinals but they just continued on what they did last year.
Even though they have been plagued by injuries like no other team.

Nobody is giving the Panthers a chance, maybe we need a win more than Seattle.

Possibly not considering how weak the NFC South is this year. You guys can still win the division either way imo. If Seattle lose they can pretty much say goodbye to winning theirs.

Trading Harvin was one thing, but deactivating Marshawn Lynch for the rest of the season... I hope Pete Carrol loses that locker room after this decision.

I'm anticipating a pretty busy trade deadline. Also of big pieces expected to be on the move.

Football all day long. Football addicts should be happy today.

If you're lucky enough to have civilization last another 100 years you could have at least 10 quarterbacks who can put up numbers on par with what he's done. Great but beatable. He's given the Michael Jordan treatment when he clearly doesn't deserve it. Vastly overrated.
