Post season seeding, preferences and chances (merged)

[Boltimore]

Preference is 1 seed, I'll settle for a 5 seed though.

[Boltx]

I bet Baltimore wins their division and we face them in the first round and they throttle us again.

This was an absolute ass kicking.

Oh well, the KC game was our Super Bowl. I wish we would stop running into these grindy teams late in the year. We're too finesse up front to hang.

I'm not even mad being a WC team. I'm upset that this was a really good litmus test for us heading into the playoffs and we failed miserably. Now we either have to beat Pittsburgh in their house twice in like 6 weeks (daunting), or try to beat a Baltimore team that stole our lunch money tonight (even more daunting).

[Attack]

Playing at Pitt or at Balt in Jan, in what will probably be very cold temps, will be a huge challenge. If this warm weather team can win at either of those places, that will really show me something.

[Bolt-O]

Mod note... I merged a few threads that dealt with preferences and the Chargers chances in the playoffs. Just wanted to have both sides represented here, than positive and negative in different threads, for discussion.

[Boltx]

I think the obvious preference should be for Pittsburgh...they seem to be faltering a bit down the stretch and even though it will be so hard to beat them twice in such a short time span, they don't have the kind of running game that could gash us. And I think we can get some mistakes out of Big Ben.

Rather a rematch against the Ravens.

Rather a rematch against the Ravens.

Me too.

[UtahBolt]

I would rather the Ravens as well. I think the coaching staff will figure out a way to attack that defense and I would much rather face a rookie QB in the playoffs than Big Ben at home. Granted I know Baltimore pretty much beat us up up-front last night, I think with a whole game's worth of film to analyze, I don't see it happening twice.

This is a good point, especially considering the law of averages. It's hard to beat a team twice in a month.

I want to know why both our OL/DL have decided to disappear lately? Seems like Bosa is playing hurt and Ingram might just be gassed from carrying the load early on. Our OL struggles the past month are the most worrisome.

Agree 100%, I think this may be a more winnable game and no doubt beating a team twice is very hard. With that being said would not mind Balt going into KC in the Divisional round and knocking off KC while the Chargers get to play Houston or NE and we end up hosting them for the rematch to to to the SuperBowl

I guess in this scenario we would have to beta Pitt twice! Doh!

[Boltx]

Now that I've slept on it a bit, I'm warming up to the idea of a rematch with the Ravens.

I simply want to beat them.

[Formula 21]

Player in Steelers again is my worst case scenario. Give me anybody else.
