Default Who should we be rooting for tonight?

the only thing i can think of basing a root for is on playoff implications. ive looked at them some, but i still dont know if i want the chargers to win or lose. any insight?

definately denver. if indy draws pittsburgh, the steelers will at least beat em up a bit before that afc title game. if not eliminate them

if indy draws SD i think thatll be a cakewalk for em in the dome and we're getting either jax or pittsburgh who i think are tougher outs than sd. best case scenario for indy IMO

eh i dont mean to take anything away from SD, but if the colts were more focused that week they wouldve blown them away IMO. remember they were coming off a painful loss to our pats. it kind of reminds me of our loss to miami in 04. pittsburgh just wouldnt lose and i know it took a mental toll on our guys week after week. same with indy they knew that us losing 2 games probably wasnt gonna happen. they got careless. and they still shouldve won had adam not shanked a gimme.

i hope im wrong in the case that indy does draw SD

on the other hand... i could easily see tennessee/cleveland walking into san diego and pullin off the upset. that theoretically gives us the easiest matchup of all

problem is, i am convinced that the steelers are a complete fraud. i dont have much respect for them. on the other hand, i am completely undecided on the chargers, as to if they are real or not. if the chargers are a fraud, i would rather the steelers face the colts as they might just cripple a few guys. if the chargers are good, obviously i want them to play the colts.

the steelers defense i'll give u, they are a fraud. in the sense that everyone hyped them as the #1 defense in the league and we've seen in recent weeks they clearly arent.

but big ben is no joke. he tore it up in the 05 playoffs aside from the super bowl(they didnt need him anyway they were playing an nfc team), and he's better this year than he was then. i hate playing against qbs like him, his mobility and elusiveness is scary sometimes.

i have great respect for ben. he is one of the elite qbs in the game. however, i just dont believe the team around him is elite.

San Diego always give the Colts major problems.If they can finally win a home playoff game they can very well go into Indy and pull the upset.

San Diego is the only team that can go to New England in the AFCCG and win that game on the road, assuming that Rivers plays well. No other team in the league concerns me, and that includes the Colts. Plus, they are more physical than the Steelers are right now, so even if they lose to the Colts, they'll be leaving that Colts team sore for the next week. So, for tonight.......


Go Chargers!
