What the folks down on the GM do not consider is that do to character flaws allot of GMs have a list of maybe 30 draftable players each year. I was listening to an interview last year on Siri's with a talent scout who said the Patriots some years had less than 15 players they considered draftable.Go Rivers!

High ceilings, home games and fewer games until the final weekend boost the Packers and whoever emerges from the Titans, Chiefs and Bengals.
13. Los Angeles Chargers (9-7)
It’s pretty simple for the Chargers: Beat the Raiders on Sunday night, and they’re in. Lose, and they’re out.
They have a couple things going for them. One, Justin Herbert is capable of putting the team on his back. He’s been incredible this year and ranks fourth in EPA per pass play. The Chargers’ offense ranks third in EPA per drive, behind only the Packers and the Chiefs. They are fifth in success rate. That type of offensive efficiency makes the Chargers legitimately dangerous.
The other positive is they’re getting healthy on defense at the right time. As The Athletic’s Daniel Popper outlined, they had their full first-team secondary on the field last week for just the third time all season.
This is a flawed team. They’ve had offensive line issues, and their defense ranks 28th in EPA per drive and 31st in success rate. And it doesn’t help that getting in could mean going to Kansas City in the first round. The truth is they’re probably a year away from being a real contender. But if you’re a Chargers fan, you know you have Herbert on your side, and that’s always going to give you a chance.

Umm, every team still fighting for a playoff spot is a "flawed team." Hell even some playoff teams might be flawed. But the article is correct about Herbert, the defense getting healthy and an offseason away.

Yeah, I concur and I rolled my eyes a bit where he says the Chargers are still a flawed team. Every team in the NFL is flawed. Every team in the playoffs is flawed. There are no unflawed, perfect teams in the NFL, not since the salary cap and focus on parity. The precedent is already set for a team that barely makes the post-season to get hot and win the SB. The 2010 Packers for example. The 2012 Ravens snuck in the post-season, but virtue of the refs giving Ray Rice 29 yards when he really only got 27.5 yards. If the Chargers get in, with Justin Herbert and a relatively healthy roster, there is no telling how far the Chargers can go.
