All the people here who said the Colts would kill the Chargers - New England Patriots Forums

You know who you are. Time for you to eat crow!

Not only did the Chargers beat the Colts but they beat the refs too. This should not have been this close. The phantom holding call on the Cromartie interception was unreal.

Anyway, this was not a fluke. The Chargers are a very tough matchup for the Colts as we have seen the last few times they have played. It's all about matchups people, and the Chargers have proven they advantage in this matchup. Some people were too blind to see it. I'm glad the Chargers were able to open your eyes and allow you to see.

Note: Please don't be immature and clutter this thread with "the Pats are going to kill the Chargers". This is a Chargers/Colts thread.

Oh, so NOW you see the ref bias.

You're completely right.

It's really all about the style match-ups. That applies to every sport. You can be at the top of the league, but there's styles that can give you great difficulty out on the field. The Chargers have always matched up well with the Colts(3 straight wins).

They've got the right players at the right positions and the style of play which always makes it tough for Indy.

Eh, not really. I saw one or two BS calls. But I thought the holding call to bring back Cro's runback was legit.

not at all surprised. I have been telling this to people all week.

The pats will have a tough game next week even if LT and Rivers do not play. The drop off (esp at RB) is not a lot

I said they could do it! I even predicted it in the under dog thread. But hell I'll have some crow anyway since I didn't really believe they would do it.

For the Chargers to win with LT on the bench says a lot (I'm still waiting to see why if he was so badly hurt he didn't go into the lockerroom. It looked bad to see him standing on the sidelines and smiling when his team is battling.)

So kudos to the Chargers for beating the Colts, the refs, and the artificial crowd noise!

I thought the Colts would win.
Good job to the Bolts!!

See. This is a typical jerk Charger fan. Idiot, if you came here during the game you would have seen most of us turn and start rooting for your team because the officiating was so bad (for the Colts again). Look, if you want to come in here and talk football, matchups, etc...please do. If you and the rest of your fans are gonna come in here and slow up our board by acting like 8 year olds...get lost.

I'll admit I didn't think SD had a chance. I am shocked they won. Congratulations to the Chargers and their fans. They've earned their trip to the AFC Championship game.

I'm really looking forward to watching LT cry and throw a tantrum when the Pats beat them next week.
