Likely, no; possible, yes

[sigma7]

It is mathematically possible for both the Chefs and the Bolts to make the playoffs. This season.

Seriously, check the math.

It is exceptionally unlikely -- both teams would have to run the table and the Patriots would have to die in a plane crash or disappear into another dimension -- but it's not impossible. Though, even if we were to assume that the possibility of winning every game is a straight 50/50 (and San Diego, Kansas City and whoever plays New England are all going to be underdogs from here on out), those odds are 1-in-32768.

But I'm okay with the Bolts pancaking the rest of the season, because there's only one thing on my Christmas list this year. Yes, the skull of Norv Turner. And if you have to wait until January 2 to get it to me, I...reluctantly understand. I am magnanimous and gracious in my unrelenting thirst for a specific set of headbones.

You know, if you get Norv's skull you aren't going to know what to do with yourself next. ;)

I think the Chiefs have a decent shot with Orton. I think like Jason Campbell when he was with Washington, Orton is getting crap for some issues with the Broncos which had squat all to do with him. I'm watching Tebow with a great deal of caution. He hasn't sold me on his ability to play year in and year out. Until I see good passing on a consistent basis, I'm going to worry.

Just so you know, Brian's idly trying to figure out if he can afford to buy a bottle of Crystal Head just so he can put a Chargers cap on it (there are caps in football too, right? Or is it just baseball?) and a "Hello My Name Is Norv Turner" sticker on it and send it to you.
