How are Philly and Cowboys the clear leaders in this ? :dahell: There record is better than what they are, YES... but they are both play off or borderline play off teams..

Buffalo and Houston got no chance.. Even if New England makes the play offs, they got no chance either

Philly doesn't deserve the "pretender" label at all.

Cowboys on the otherhand :mjpls:

I know the Chargers are 4-1 but we've played the Jets,Jags,Bills. Not exactly high caliber team. We're not pretenders in that we're a bad team just I feel like how good we are is sort of overstated.

Nah you guys are good and legit imo. Always the dark horse team that just can't make the one or two plays necessary to get it done tho.

Legit defense and they take care of the ball, they'll shock some people this year if they get the right matchup

Maybe this season the most impressive team they've beat was the Seahawks, but under Mike McCoy the Chargers have beat the Broncos (with Peyton), Eagles (with Chip Kelly), Colts (with Andrew Luck), Bengals (with Dalton).

I don't know another team in the last two seasons with that resume. Sure those teams have got better since, but the Chargers improved even more though.

They added a top 5 corner, drafted an elite potential corner who's been shutting down WR's already, drafted a high potential OLB who has already beasted, Melvin Ingram went into next gear, Dwight Freeney is healthy and reverting back to his old self, Liuget is one of the best d-linemen in the league, Rivers has Malcolm Floyd back, Antonio Gates isn't dropping passes anymore, Branden Oliver is starting to show what he can do, etc.

This team just needs to get healthy, but at their best I like their chances vs anyone.
