San Diego Weather - New England Patriots Forums

Nice benefit of the mild northeast winter--the weather in San Diego looks like it'll be in the 50's for the game next week, which is pretty much what the Pats have been playing in anyway. Throw in the fact that San Diego is not known as a frightening place to play, you're taking away 2 out of the 3 away disadvantages. The 3rd is simply the travel and jet lag.

That SD not a home field will surprise you this year. This is our first year ever there where no Playoff tickets went on sale. All went to Season ticket holders we also went 8-0 at home. I will be there and it will be loud. I know that really wont affect a good team like the Patriots but that does not mean it wont be a factor. Yes there will be some bandwagon fans there but hey I dont care as long and they scream their aaaaarrrrrrsssseeeeee off.

And the Patriots were 7-1 on the road including some loud places. Sure we'd like it to be in NE but the Patriots can handle the road and the crowd. If the Chargers win it won't be because of you yelling.

Too bad, Junior and Rodney are out for that game it would have been a lot of fun. But since they're not playing then I guess LT & Co. will take off the gloves on Sunday.

Here's to an injury-free game. Welcome to the Q for those easterners trekking in and make sure to bring lots of tissue paper.

Final score: Chargers 27 - Pats 10

Rodney's not out for sure yet. I expect he'll be out but don't count on it yet.

Will see you in the Parking lot Pats fans. I know most of you guys think we are Latte drinking wussies that dont know squat about football but hey every team we play from the East says the same thing. Football is played here and it will be a great game and tailgate. All fans welcomed. We always adopt road team fans that come in small groups and want to party. They leave thinking alot diffrent of San Diego fans. In a good way

I cant stand flying because of the Jet lag. I dont know if Pro athletes are used too it, because of traveling often during the season, or if it does bother them. When i travel i need a whole day to get my head straight. Between the time zone change, and the air pressure changes, im totally shot.

You ask any team that has played us in the playoffs at home how loud we are. This is not an easy place to play.

The Bolts have superior quickness, speed and athleticism, so good weather favors them. The slow-footed Pats would have an advantage in bad weather as the poor traction would negate some of the Chargers' speed. But you go ahead and spin it anyway you want.
