We haven't made the playoffs whenever we have had the Bills and Dolphins at home, and the Jets and Patriots on the road (2005, 2011, and 2017). I'd like the team to break this trend.

The Vikings alternate good and mediocre years and their 2022 statistical profile screams regression more than any team in recent memory. The Cowboys were good last year but will be employing McCarthy’s bold “score less points” strategy. Adding Rodgers to an elite defense sounds great for the Jets, but the thing is it’s much harder maintain an elite defense season to season than it is for an elite offense. The offensive personnel around the Jets is also just okay. Miami could be a contender for the next few years or they could be a one year flash in the pan. The Lions are fun but we’ve seen Goff get figured out before. No one really knows what the Broncos will be and the Raiders don’t have very many good players.
When we look at a new schedule in May, we assume every team will hit the high end of their outlook. That will not be the case.
The two things that ARE consistent, however, we WILL have significant injuries again this year and we have history working against us. Norval Turner was the last HC to have back to back playoff seasons.
Those two reasons are enough to pump the brakes on any playoff talk this year.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

This is a fair assessment and I agree, it's hard to judge a schedule in May. If anything, the early bye week bothers me the most.

Gonna go with my head and like the last 15 years of objective data on this one and say...we will deal with numerous injuries again this year.
Chargers missed the playoffs due to excessive injuries once (2014) over the last 20 seasons.
Coaching, talent & 5 east coast trips/4 teams coming off byes did them in the other times they just missed out.

We have a load of proven talent who are kinda pissed and excited to silence that "pump the brakes" BS.

Are we better prepared? Most positions, yes. DBs TBD.

Last year the injuries kept hitting our best players and that hurts. A few years ago we went through a raft of injuries to the same position. When that happens you end up playing people you brought in off the street because you're out of players for that position.
I bet you remember when Rivers had a WR group to throw to that was unknown to him a week earlier. All I'm saying is; it matters where and when you have the injuries and my hope is this year we'll flip that bad luck.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!
