(some) Chargers fans are not worried about the Pats - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

Bill B. · 03-13-2007, 08:03 PM

I live in Southern California and while the Patriots will always be my favorite team, I used to always like the Chargers. But since we beat them in the playoffs their fans, which I have to deal with sometimes, are the biggest bunch of wusses I have ever met. I posted a reply in their forum. I did not talk smack. I wonder how long it will take before I get banned.

3 - they have signed no-one, and lost 3 important coaches.

considering the above, I think these 2 teams are now close. that team is loaded w/ young, fast, talent. if we can draft one more stud linebacker and DB, our speed deficit will be narrowed or gone on defense, and we now have some WR's to throw to.

anyways, it's close.

You forgot one.

4- Merriman has been off the juice for about a year now, he'll probably look like Giselle next season.

Hopefully we won't have to face them in the playoffs again.

Hell yes we need to be worried about the Pats. Let's be realistic here...this is the team that beat us last year, and they've easily improved their roster the most out of all the teams in the NFL, let alone the AFC.

They're the only team that worries me though...the Colts won't be as good, and neither will the Ravens probably. But the prospect of playing the Pats in the playoffs in NE next year sucks, frankly...

Yeah we should be worried. Didn't they beat us at home in the playoffs? They're an improved team.

I think the DONKS will be much improved too. More worried about them since we play them twice.

Oh, not to mention they have 2 picks BEFORE us.

To be honest. It will be best for the chargers to realize they've got some good competition next year. A bunch of teams are progressing. Its up to the chargers to meet the challange and work to be better.

I think we should always 'worry' about the Pats, they are a well coached team that consistantly puts a good product onto the field no matter what the 'experts' think of their talent.

We will beat them, because we have a better team, but you should always 'worry' about the pats

It does add blance but even some of these are back handed compliments.

Lets see.

- Gostkowski has won more playoff games as a Patriot kicker than the Chargers over the last few years

- They are probably more worried that Shawne "The steriod" Merriman will get another suspension

- Talk about injuries, Castillo and Phillips lost some time due to injury and then there was news that Rivers hurt his ankle in the Pats game and wouldn't had played if they advanced to the next round

- If you thought the Pats had problems at the WR postion, I look at the Chargers. Eric Parker is going to have to step up, something he hasn't done yet only marginally did when they picked up McCardell. Vincent Jackson could be awesome, but as part of a starting combo, I'm not worried. They might want to improve considering the Broncos upgraded there.

- The tread on LT's wheels is slowly wearing thin. Good thing they have an insurance policy in Turner.

let them not worry about the Pats...didn't they do the same last time the two teams met?
how did that work out for them? and last time I checked their new HC isn't an upgrade.

Chargers fans are some of the most obnoxious ones I've encountered. The week before the playoff game against them was filled with nonstop trolling from their end on the boards. They make Bronco fans look like patron saints.

I just wish Daniel Graham ***** up Drayton Florence again when he tried to head butt him. Shawn Merriman I hope his ******* wang falls off.

Anyway, after I got that out of my system I feel better. Looking back at my post its funny.

Hilarious.

Some are still struggling with their reality check:

Team>talent.

***Rob0729*** · 03-13-2007, 09:20 PM

Why would Charger fans worry about the Patriots? They have bigger concerns - Norv Turner is leading their team. That would be the #1 worry on my list.
