Are the Chargers for real?

[Catch22Dem]

As a Chiefs fan, I tend to root for other AFC West teams when mine isn't doing very well. Some people think that's crazy, but oh well. So, are the Chargers the real deal? How would they stack up against PIT, NE, or PHI right now? I don't know if PHI can be beat. NE has looked very beatable lately (CIN scores 28? WTF?)

1. Chargers are real but wont advance to the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh and New England are much better and have played a tougher schedule.
Sure NE gave up 28 pts to the bengals today. Big deal. They had a slack game but still came out wit a "W". When the palyoffs roll around and NE has a first week bye they will come out and squeak by Pittsburgh or any other AFC team to make it to the big one. They dont and wont blow anyone out. Brady will bring together another late 4th qtr or OT drive and set up Vinetari, who IMO is the greatest crucial situation kicker in NFL history.
BTW did I tell you my prediction for the AFC championship game?
NE 30- SD 28
