Chargers 1 win from HOSTING the AFC Championship Game - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I would love to root for the Chargers, especially since the Ravens and the Steelers are the remaining alternatives. But since the Chargers making the SB would drop the 2nd round draft pick they owe us by about 15 spots, I just can't.

Well if it's any consolation a Chargers SB appearance would move our draft pick up one slot.

If they're facing the Cardinals or Eagles then our spot goes up 2.

You are correct, if the Chargers were so lousy someone should be able to beat them.
I think a Bolts vs Cards SB might be a nice display of offense.

Yes it is a birthright.

8-8 < 11-5. We played in the East you played in the sorry West. LT is a joke and guess what? If you won the SB against Arz, you know who would care? Noone except your fanbase.

I really hope you guys realize LT is the biggest wuss to ever play in the NFL, right?

But we beat Indy and if we beat Pitt in Pitt, you dont think SD has proven the right to be playing the AFCCG?....whether its home or otherwise? That's absurd. If these other teams like Indy or Pitt are more deserving for some reason, why dont they just beat us? Isn't that the famous mantra of the Patriots?....to just stop us? If we beat the Steelers, we deserve all the royalties therein.

Because you went 8-8.

Very close to a birthright for people that can do math. 11 wins > 8 wins.

The reason why this thread is relevant is because these occurrences don't seem to be anomalies anymore. Not after the 10-6 Giants defeated the 16-0 Patriots. If you do get a 8 win team against a 9 win team in the Super Bowl, then effectively a lot of emphasis will be taken off the regular season in some divisions. Look what Arizona did at the end of the season.

The final quarter f the NFL season will have more trash games than ever before.

I agree man. If SD is hosting the AFCC I say good for yall. Pats fans need to remember the tuck game and people saying the Patriots didn't deserve to move on past Oakland, well we proved our worth the next couple games didn't we. Or the time when everyone gave the Patriots crap about spygate, calling BB a sham and we were 1 dropped pick away from a perfect season. These situations allow teams to prove their worth on the field and not in the media.

"It's not in Detroit, it's in Tampa."

Sorry, my bad, just goes to show how much I don't give a rats azz about the Super Bowl this year.

I should have known since the two Raven cheerleaders announcing the game yesterday said about 9,000 times "the last time the #1 seed Titans played the Ravens, the Ravens won 24-10 on their way to the Super Bowl in Tampa and we all know where the game is being played THIS year"..........

Dierdork probably doesn't even know he is doing it, but practically every game he announces, he clearly favors one team over the other..............
