Four games lost under 24 seconds?!!?! If that isn't bad luck, I don't know what is....
Talk about grabbing defeat in the jaws of victory. My heart can't take it anymore

You want to hear the really TWISTED part?
Even at 4-7, the Chargers still have a plausible shot of making the playoffs.
Here's how:
At 6-5, the Broncos are two games ahead of the Chargers with five (5) left to play.
Now check this out - for the Chargers to bridge the gap and put themselves into a position to where they can give themselves a chance, they only need for two things to happen:
1. Gain only (1) ONE stinking game on Denver sometime over the next 4 games.
2. Make sure that of their two remaining divisional games against Kansas City and Oakland, they at least win one of them.
None of these things are outside the realm of possibility. There are still 4 chances (games) in which the Chargers can gain ONE game on the Broncos. Kansas City and Oakland each are also winnable games (and they only need to win one of them).
By the final game of the season, this sets up the Chargers to play the Broncos at home only one game behind Denver. If they can beat the Broncos to tie them for the division lead, the Chargers WIN the AFC West by virtue of a better division record. Do the math. Because the Broncos got beat by the Raiders today, they didn't do themselves any favors and now find themselves with one more loss than the Chargers in intra-divisional play. So long as the Chargers don't get swept by KC or Oakland over these next 4 games, then that last game of the season against Denver will actually be meaningful - provided they are able to gain just that one game on the Broncos in the next 4.
How sick is that?
That just goes to show how god awful the AFC West is that the no-luck Chargers can still have a chance with a record of 4-7.
Into the last good bite I'll ever know

Live and eat on this day. Live and eat on this day.

The Chargers will have to win the rest of the way. The team left remaining on the Chargers schedule that are hard to beat will be Tampa Bay. The Broncos schedule the rest of the way isn't any more easy.
I'll have to say congradulations to the Cardinals on their season. They look like they will win their division. The rest of the nfc west is terrible.

Don't remind me of last season, now that was also hugely embarrassing....only thing that made it less embarrassing was Cutler got hurt on their first drive and left the game.

Man, how hilarious would that be if the Lions decided to play the game of their lives for once and eked out a victory against Tennessee? Just the thought of it would make me root for Detroit out of half-interest with this game. With the hangover from a tough first loss, a short week of preparation, and now having to travel for the holidays, might the grumbling Titans be primed for another upset loss? Haha, probably not - but hey, stranger things have happened.

Hey buddy,
You disappear during the whole time that the Cowboys were stinking, and now that they Have Romo back and are back on track you magically reappear?

To be honest, I was hoping for an 0-11 vs 11-0 match-up this week. The ultimate quest for perfection.

You know what's weird about Detroit though? They came out 17-0 against the Bucs and 13-0 against us (nearly winning too). I honestly think the team has either a conditioning problem or they're just too lazy to finish out the games. It's probably a little of both. But they've been close in a lot of their games this year.
Carolina on the other hand needs to get their sh!t straight. I can literally feel this team going downhill right now. We'll probably win 2 games at most out of the remaining 5 this season.
