Any chance the Chargers go on to beat the Bengals and Broncos?

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

They just took the lead on Cincy and it looks to be a game they can win. 

If they could beat the Broncos even in its slim chance, we would have a home AFC championship game if we beat the Pats. 

 

So if the Chargers win this game (still very early. don't think they will), what are the chances they beat the Broncos? Is there a chance? 10%? 5? less?

 

Edit: sorry. mods put this under nfl general. thanks!

[CR91]

Everyone and their moms wanna see luck vs manning in the playoffs, but id also like the chance to host the AFC championship

[WastedColt]

The Chargers beat the Broncos in Denver during the regular season. Fair chance they can do it again. Chargers play some serious ball control and that is how to beat super offense poop defense Manning teams

[jameszeigler834]

if the charger beat the bengals then the colts have to beat NE in order for that to happen and Dalton just got picked off man he sucks.

[Fx Stryker]

I don't see the Chargers getting passed the Broncos.

[schwamm]

Hey, there was just less than a 1% chance the Colts would win last night after falling behind 38-10 in the early 3rd... so yes, I believe there is a chance.

[buck_hunter21]

There is a chance.

[Mr.Debonair]

Yes they played Den well earlier.

[Derakynn]

Dalton stinking it up. Chances are good. 

[coltsfansince65]

Well, if Dalton keeps throwing to the Chargers DBs we will certainly have a chance to find out.

[John Waylon]

It's quite possible. I think of all teams, San Diego is the most dangerous to Denver. They know how to play Denver, and divisionnal opponents are the hardest teams you play all year. 

[Franklin County]

Dalton throwing another stinker in Cincy

[chad72]

Yes, there is a chance but history is not in the Chargers favor.

 

2008, Colts beat chargers in their place but lost the playoff game in their place

 

2009, Jets beat Colts in Indy (resting starters game) but lost the playoff game in our place

 

2010, Jets beat Pitt in Pitt in regular season but lost the AFCCG at Pitt

 

It is mighty hard to beat a team twice in their own place. Splits or a sweep in favor of the home team is the norm. A sweep for the road team is absolutely rare.

[steveeoaktree33]

Even if the (ugh so hard to even say their name...) Chargers don't win as long as they beat em up a little bit will still be a plus. Won't ever forget Peyton the Colt, but now he is the enemy. Just another step up the podium.

[deedub75]

I want the AFCCG here in Indy so I can use my shiny new ticket.

[shakedownstreet]

sounds good to me!

[chad72]

Didn't you have to front money for 2 games in advance while buying a playoff ticket?

[Jules]

There is a shot and I would root for it like in 2006 to host our current kryptonite in the playoffs.

 

But, if there is an upset in the divisional I think it's more likely to be Luck OVER Brady....... Now how about that.

 

 

I think the universe would stand still if we got Luck vs. Manning with the right to go to the SB.

Sure did.  Had to pay for yesterday's game and the AFCCG.  They sent tickets for both games in the mail.  If the AFCCG isn't played here in Indy, the money go to next year's tickets. 

[indycrazy1887]

Looks like the Chargers are gunna take this game anyhow

[buck_hunter21]

Chargers gonna try and put the Bengals on ice right now....

[Happy2BeHere]

Lol that's funny your all saying something then switch gears into Dalton's pick and sucking lol

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

It's gonna be hard for the Bengals to comeback but just an observation. I really like Marvin Jones as a player. 

[Franklin County]

Bengals 1 and done again

[chad72]

 

I think the universe would stand still if we got Luck vs. Manning with the right to go to the SB.

 

Irsay would probably fly about 100 charter planes/choppers over Denver's stadium to make it windy if a Colts-Broncos AFCCG happened, LOL.

I think most always expected Manning vs. Brady. But, often we don't get the prediction right. If we get Luck vs. Peyton with the SB on the line.......oh my GOD. Holy drama at it's finest.

 

And if we lost I may be okay with it. Okay who am I kidding I would throw things.......

 

Jesus this postseason is WILD WILD WILD.

I think everyone wants to see Manning/Brady, except Colts fans.

[schwamm]

Yeah, I really wanted the Colts to draft him (and felt the same with Kenny Stills this past draft)... but I'm very happy with Grigs picking TY instead.

[NewEra]

Well they got one down! One to go! Be awesome if we could get the afccg back at the LOS

[Bravo]

I hope not! The Colts seem to ALWAYS have problems with the Chargers

[CR91]

I think everyone wants to see Manning/Brady, except Colts fans.

14 times is enough

[fatboy]

I think everyone wants to see Manning/Brady, except Colts fans.

I think Manning/Luck would be a QUITE marketable nationally. I'm pretty certain actually.

[hawkeyes]

Hope we beat the Pats and the Chargers beat the Broncos, but lose a few key players for our match up back here in the luke!

 

Weve seen Brady vs Manning enough already - time for something new!

 

Course Colts vs Denver for a chance to go to the SB would be pretty awesome too!  I could deal with that loss a lot better knowing Manning was getting another shot!

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Wow I didn't even consider the possibility of the Colts hosting the AFCCG. The Chargers just beat a team that hadn't lost at home all year, and on paper, looked to be overmatched.

 

Rivers vs Manning has always been a bad matchup for Manning, so that trend could continue...

 

We'll see I guess. The playoffs are rowdy this year!

[SteelDragon]

Phillips is gutsy.  I bet he has a good game against the Donks.  

With Manning in a play-off game, you never know... he often under-performs

[MaoBerry]

Both the pats and broncs get bounced is my prediction.

Sounds like the KC fans who said they'd rout Indy

Rivers has never played against manning....they are both QBs.....gotta get away from that...

[PrincetonTiger]

We can hope

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I say Rivers is a bad matchup for Peyton because he has great offensive weapons around him, and he's capable of matching Manning's production if the game were to turn into a shootout. He's already proven that at Manning's expense a few times now.

 

So no, I don't need to "get away from that."
