Nor was the fact that he was referring to the 2018 Chargers.
Yes, that much was obvious, my question was rhetorical as a way of getting into the various misadventures of the Chargers in the Rivers era. Which MBH has provided further context for.
To me, they're the ultimate regression-to-the-mean team. When their roster talent says they should be SB contenders, they underperform*. When their roster talent says they should suck, somehow they pull 7-to-9 wins out of nowhere, with Rivers going apeshit a few times.
Fun fact that they reminded us of frequently around last year's Divisional game: Rivers has never beaten Brady. He beat Cassel in 2008, and San Diego Drew Brees beat Brady in 2005, but Rivers is 0-8 when Tom Brady is suited up on the other sideline.
* (or have a truly great team, but get beat by Troy Brown - there was a good oral history of that game poking around somewhere a few months ago)
