Chargers have been playing without Allen and Williams. They’ll be there until the end. 

The insane in-game luck that has helped the LA Chargers this season:

Of the five wins the team has this season, three were a proponent of some lucky breaks. The Week 1 win against the Las Vegas Raiders did not have luck as the defense showed up with multiple turnovers to secure the victory. LA's win over the Houston Texans was also not luck, as they were the better team throughout.

In fact, the Texans were the ones who were lucky in that game as DeAndre Carter's fumble on the kickoff was the only reason why they even had a chance of winning. If that doesn't happen then the Chargers win by 13-17 points.

However, the Browns, Broncos and Falcons wins all certainly had luck involved bestowed down by the football gods to pay the Chargers back for all of the injuries that they suffered this season. Without this luck, the Chargers would be 2-6. But without the injuries, they wouldn't have needed the luck to begin with.

It started with Cade York, who missed two field goals against the Chargers including a 54-yard game-winner that kept Brandon Staley's seat from getting very hot. Staley made a bold call to go for it on fourth down from Browns territory late in the game, esentially gifting a game-winning field goal attempt to Cleveland.

Thankfully, York missed.

Against Denver, it took a heads up special teams play late in overtime to secure the win. Ja'Sir Taylor made a heads-up play and pushed the Broncos' punt blocker into the return to force a muffed punt, giving the Chargers the ball in field goal range.

This is the least lucky of the examples as it took a heads-up play by Taylor but you still don't see things like this happen very often. The Chargers are lucky that the Broncos decided to send a blocker right in front of the return man for Taylor to push.

Finally, there were several examples of luck (both good and bad) against the Falcons. The Chargers were lucky that Marcus Mariota overthrew an open deep receiver multiple times, or that Younghoe Koo missed a field goal in the second half. However, they were also unlucky that Joshua Palmer and Gerald Everett had two insanely untimely drops.

Most of all, though, the Chargers were lucky that Austin Ekeler's late-game fumble did not cost them. That fumble really should have, at least, sent the game to overtime but Atlanta made the rare play of fumbling the ball right back to the Chargers. Justin Herbert made the most of that luck, delivering a seed to Palmer to essentially win the game.

It is easy to complain about the bad injury luck while it is easy to forget about the breaks that the Chargers have gotten this year that they typically don't. At the end of the day, a 5-3 record is the perfect mark for this team, injuries or not.

Just enjoyed reading the Broncos Forum. Ha Ha HA  They are screwed for years to come. HA HA HA

Just enjoyed reading the Chargers forum.  Too many injuries is the issue. Sunday will be a chance for KC to put them out of their misery.

Just enjoyed reading the Raiders forum. LOL LOL LOL Complete shit show. Carr is such a cry baby.

This sucks

This was not supposed to happen,

The Broncos hired a coach who helped lead Aaron Rodgers to back-to-back MVPs. We finally acquired our quarterback. The offense look loaded. We were supposed to see players like Javonte Williams, Jerry Jeudy, and others have big breakout seasons. The playoff drought was supposed to end. Hell, we even thought we could maybe beat Patrick Mahomes this year.

What happened?

What happened?

How did Hackett fool everyone? Why does Russell Wilson suddenly look washed up? Why do we suck again?

This sucks.

We can’t even “embrace the tank” this year as Seattle owns our first-round pick which looks destined to be in the top 5 or 10. Meanwhile, the 49ers won again which increases the chances of us owning a pick in the back half of the first round.

Lets Ride.

We would have a coaching advantage with Andy vs any team in the AFC West but the inept coaches the other teams hired is a gift that keeps giving.

I posted in another thread about the Bills forum.  Their tears could raise Lake Erie a few inches.

Bills got lucky to even tie that game for OT. That was not a catch and the refs did not even review it. Nor did they catch 12 men on the field in OT etc. Man refs were horrible yesterday.

The referees have been bad all year. That helmet to helmet hit on Juju was a no-brainer. They threw the flag and then picked it up. What a bunch of morons!

Spags may start slow yearly and first halves, but he does adjust. He’s a great coach.

Yeah I've checked out their boards. Typical meltdowns and finger pointing. 

Also looked at the Bills board. They are so salty...lol. I mean they went from being everyone's darling,  top of the power rankings, #1 seed, Josh Allen MVP talk...to losing #1 seed, 1st place in their division and free fall down the rankings. It's a lot for their fans to swallow at once...lol.
