unfortnuately i agree.. i think indy had the best shot to beat NE... i dont see SD doing it... they got spanked earlier in the year. and I dont see anyone in the nfc stopping them either... sad but true...

i like most dolfans am rooting against the pats. San diego has not shot even though im with them 100 percent. Do you guys think they can pull it off?

I think they can, they're very talented team. If Rivers and LT are healthy next week, they can win.

NO this sucks the PATS are catching EVERY single break the NFL has to offer... Just give them the DAMN ring now....Its pathetic... The Colts were the ONLY team left capable of beating them...

Dallas wont, Green Bay MIGHT have a shot... San Diego will get BLOW OUT next week... DAMNIT!

i think so .. cromartie can matchup with moss. jammer with stallworth and weddle can matchup with welker. they got fast LB's and good passrush. I think they will do fine vs NE, i am not sure about the outcome but i think it will be a pretty good game.

LOL, you guys not giving the Chargers are chance were probably the same ones saying they didn't have a chance today vs the Colts... I'm telling you this SD team has some kind of magic about them... they will win next week and win the whole enchilada...

If San Diego's complement of Cromartie, Florence, and Jammer play well, if San Diego's pass rush is consistent and effective at pressuring Brady, if the offense can put up points. They may have a chance.

The pats have been scored on its a matter of coming up with a scheme to make Brady eat grass a few times. Merriman , Philps and that dline need to apply the heat. If he sits in that pocket all day like vs J-ville..San Diegos doomed.

IMO the Colts were the only team that could possibly do the deed of handing NE their first loss. Now that they are out of the picture I don't see anyone being able to step up and put an end to the Pats perfect season.

I agree, they beat the Colts without LT and Rivers in the second half. And NE always have trouble stoping LT.

San Diego is a much better team than they were at the start of the season thanks to the emergence of several players (Sproles, Naene,Chambers,Weddle,Cromartie) so to say they can't beat the pats is a tad unfair.

if they can stop the pass yes and i think the Packers also can beat the Pats

Bill Belichick vs Norv Turner... Enough said San Diego has NO SHOT it will be AT least 10 point differential next week..

Exactly.

I didn't give them a chance against the Colts, and I thought they would barely get by the Titans. Either Turner has learned to coach or they have learned to overcome it.

or they've just got a lot of talent. They've got 3 pro bowlers on their OL (McNeil and Hardwick last year, Dielman this year), a dominant RB with 2 very good complementary backs, one of the most explosive TEs in the game, a solid but unspectacular WR corp (Jackson is coming into his own, CC is what he is, then Davis and Naane have given some playmaking to their offense), a very very good front 7 (with 5 pro bowl caliber players in Merriman,Williams,Olshansky,Castillo, and Phillips), and a very good secondary that goes 6 deep. (though the Chargers are at their best when Weddle is in the game and not Hart).

Not the same team that the Pats killed early in the season.

They are going into N.E. with both their starting QB and starting all pro RB injured.
Either or both may not even be able to play and if they do will either of them be able to pull off a half speed performance?

Yes the Patsies are a great team but you have to admit that all the stars have aligned for them in just about every single situation this year as well. It's simply unreal that the best team matched up to beat them lost to a team that had 2 of their offensive starts on the sidelines and another barely able to run routes in Gates. It's simply unreal.

The Colts weren't going to beat the Pats... they can't rush the passer without Freeney. THey couldn't have stopped NE, just like JAX didn't stop them. At least SD has a knack for creating turnovers (ask Peyton Manning about that). For the Chargers to win next week, remember the number 2.... 2 turnovers forced by the Chargers will win them the AFC and a trip to Arizona for the SuperBowl. The Pats have only coughed up the ball only 15 times this year which is amazing. However the Chargers rank 2nd in turnover ratio (behind the Colts). The CHargers D matches up well against the Pats. But of course, they must have Rivers starting if they have a chance at winning.

It is too bad Phillip Rivers is turning into a real prick.

What makes you say that?

It's not because he was mouthing off to Colt fans was it?
Personally, I loved that and I don't think giving opposing fans a little flak back makes you a prick.

I don't think San Diego can do a damn thing. Chargers 10, New England 183735.

Now, Brett Favre, on the other hand...

Turner now has what he never had in Oakland, or Washington--talent.

The weather may play a factor next weekend, right now the forecast is calling for temps around 20 degrees for a high and snow is possible. If it does happen then this game will be very close and SD has looked like a completely different team in the playoffs and LT, Rivers and Gates will most definitely play it may be their last chance to be in the championship game and get to the SB.
