I will take ANY and ALL advantages we can get, and having the Chargers off their normal schedule is one of them. A small one, but I will take it. There are no moral victories and no victory counts for more because you got them at their best.

But there is the very real ability to beat a good team at their best vs a beat up/traveling/whatever team, so when you get to the playoffs you're not a paper tiger.

Being in the AFC North, with two games against pitt, Baltimore, and Cleveland, combined with games against the Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs, Vikings, and Packers....if they make they playoffs, they will have earned it. No way a paper tiger. Say the Titans beat up on a lifeless AFC South and the Colts weren't getting hot, and their non-conference opponent was the NFC East. Fine. Call that a paper tiger. Not these cats.

Yeah, I think we get flexed. Should be a great game between the 2 best young QB's.

If you want to take "any win you can get", more power to you.  I'll take wins too but i prefer ones that are against good teams that are healthy. I'm not gonna sit around hoping that they don't flex a game due to whatever, or hope we get a team that's beat up. All wins are not created equal and don't bother trying to argue with me that they are. "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

Sorry, but I couldn't resist: The Bengals went on the road and beat a team in the playoff hunt by 19 points. The Browns won a game at home against a winless team with a backup QB. BOTH TEAMS WERE CREDITED WITH ONE WIN IN THE STANDINGS.

The NFL is likely to drop the current SNF game and flex either the Bengals/Chargers or Denver/KC. Just based on the matchup, I think we will see Cincinnati/Chargers flexed.
