| Here's another loaded team. The main concern is the health of both Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson. Phillips proved in the AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots that he's a tough guy, playing on a bad knee. |

| This talented team started slow and came on strong. That's a good sign for next season. How does L.T. handle the questions about his not playing in the title game? |

| They go into the playoffs on a roll. The Chargers have really turned things around the past five weeks. They're hot. |

| They are getting it going at the right time. That defense is really starting to play like many expected. |
| 12/18/2007 | 6 | 7 |
| They're getting it going at the right time. They will be a tough opponent for anybody in the playoffs. |

| They have had plenty of issues this season, but that comeback against the Titans might be just what this team needs. Philip Rivers must play like he did in the fourth quarter for the Chargers to have a Super chance. |

| They seem to be getting things back on track. As long as they keep giving it to L.T., they'll be fine. |

| The way they played against the Ravens is what we expected to see all year long. They still aren't running it as well as they did last year. They owe the Bears a case of champagne for rallying against the Broncos. |

| It just isn't right this year. Is it all about coaching? Probably not, but it has a lot to do with it. |
| 11/13/2007 | 10 | 13 |
| Hidden in the weirdness of their victory over the Colts on Sunday night was that they did nothing on offense. That has to change or they won't be a playoff factor. |
