if they miss the playoffs they have 3 reasons to hate themselves. losing at home to dallas,the steelers and miami killed them. the steeler loss was deadly. i took this off the chargers website:
Chargers left needing some help
Even with a huge victory over the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego could be on the outside looking in, watching the playoffs from home. They can help themselves by winning their final two games, but they will still need some help down the stretch.
At 9-5, San Diego could win its remaining two games (against the Chiefs and Broncos) and still be shut out of the playoffs. San Diego currently trails Jacksonville and Pittsburgh for the two AFC wild-card berths and will need outside help to advance to he playoffs.
