I think that oversimplifies things.

Do we deserve to be in the playoffs based on what we did on our own? No, I think that is obvious. We needed 3 teams to lose in the final week to still have a shot.

Do we belong there based on circumstances out of our control? Yes. We finished 8-8, but the reality is San Diego should have also finished 8-8. Since they didn't due to things out of our control, we aren't playing this week, but we probably should be. THAT is the reality. Did it happen? No, but it is what SHOULD have happened.

Everyone likes to say, but you should have been better in weeks 1-4 if you wanted to make the playoffs, forgets and overlooks that San Diego was 1-4 in a 5 week stretch as well during the season.

Watching the KC game, you can see 2 things which happened and may impact things out of our control.

1. The penalty on the FG may have changed the outcome.
2. The fake punt would have changed things. When watching that replay they were 3 options of outcomes:

a. They held him short of a first down.....this option gives KC the ball again in FG range needing only that to win again.
b. They go the first down....the solution they went with.
c. That there was a fumble which was returned for a TD and KC wins.

In 2 of those scenarios, we make the playoffs....without review or much discussion, SD was awarded the first down which on tape does not appear to be the case.

We don't DESERVE to be in the playoffs, but we SHOULD be in the playoffs.
Click to expand...

all part of the game. if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his azz either. the one inch out of bounds by AB and we wouldn't need the chargers and the refs to be in. it wasn't all about the first 4 games. we should have beat Miami and Baltimore. we didn't get it done.
