Morning Links: Chargers on playoff bubble

By Eric D. Williams | November 9, 2013 12:15:36 PM PST

SAN DIEGO -- Good Morning. Bill Simmons of Grantland writes that the San Diego Chargers are one of 18 teams in NFL playoff limbo fighting for five playoff spots. Simmons believes that Kansas City (9-0), Seattle (8-1), Denver (7-1), New England (7-2), San Francisco (6-2), New Orleans (6-2) and Indianapolis (6-2) likely will make the postseason. And he also sticks a fork in the playoff hopes of Jacksonville (0-8), Tampa Bay (0-8), Minnesota (2-7), Atlanta (2-6), Pittsburgh (2-6), St. Louis (3-6) and Oakland (3-5).

So that leaves the Chargers (4-4) duking it out with Houston (2-6), Buffalo (3-6), Baltimore (3-5), Miami (4-4), Cleveland (4-5), Tennessee (4-4), the New York Jets (5-4), Cleveland (4-5) and Cincinnati (6-3) for the last two playoff spots in the AFC.

Simmons gives the Chargers 9-2 odds to make the playoffs, but believes they will be on the outside looking in at the end of the season. Simmons: "The Chargers blew it - they're hitting the toughest part of their schedule and had to be better than 4-4."

ESPN Broncos beat reporter Jeff Legwold reports that Denver cornerback Champ Bailey is not expected to play on Sunday against San Diego because of a lingering foot injury.

Willie McGinest, Darren Sharper and Keenan McCardell of NFL Total Access give San Diego a puncher's chance against Denver in this video link.

Rick Drummond of Pro Football Focus provides three things to watch for in San Diego's game against Denver -- Manning vs. Rivers, the Chargers' secondary and defensive pass rush by both teams.

According to Zach Ragan of University of Tennessee fan site All For Tennessee, scouts from the Chargers are at today's Tennessee-Auburn game, where they could be looking at a couple NFL-ready offensive line prospects for the Volunteers.

Lindsay Jones of USA Today writes that Philip Rivers is experiencing a rebirth with his team's reliance on the short passing game.

Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego examines San Diego's ability to rebuild receiver depth behind Keenan Allen, Vincent Brown and Eddie Royal.

What is up with Brandon Taylor?

He was terrible in pass protection last year and he missed all of the offseason with an injury. He was not a player I figured on contributing this year. Maybe he gets some playing time later in the season should we be eliminated from the playoff picture.

arghghgh...brain dead play by Ravens (on Hail Mary) and now they go to overtime. it's rare that the Chargers are on in Seattle and now i'll miss the first quarter.
