AFC West daring prediction: Chargers miss the playoffs

Since the arrival of Brandon Staley in 2021, the Chargers have been on the cusp of greatness, however they haven’t fairly been ready to recover from the hump and I feel that’s primarily as a result of somebody cursed this franchise to by no means recover from the hump. They’re the Sisyphus of NFL franchises. When you didn’t take a Greek mythology class in school, that’s the man who rolls the ball up the hill however by no means truly makes it to the prime. That’s the Chargers. They’re perpetually rolling the ball up the hill, solely to have it frequently roll over their hopes and goals on its means again down the hill.

Not a nasty hangover, however simply nagging sufficient that they take lots of Advil and miss playoffs.
