Any team can beat any team in the playoffs. I feel like we lost an opportunity to put us in a better situation to advance.
This of course ignores the general judgement that Cinci has a much better chance to beat SD than they have to beat INDY.
I think Cincy has just as good shot to beat Indy as well. They have a great running game, good passing game, a QB that is very good, a good scheme on defense with two corners that are very good. They've got the best running game going into the playoffs (except for the Jets, who might not make it in).
At this point, I would take my chances against the Colts....Honestly, they are not as good as their record...But I just can't see Phillip Rivers leading any team to the SB.....
LMAO! Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning both won super bowls and Rivers is better than both of them. Rivers can and will lead the Chargers to a super bowl this season; he's a top 3 QB in this league and has proven countless times that he's tough enough to get the job done. Did you forget that he played in the AFCC game a few years back with a torn ACL? That's a real leader.
I was thinking about Rivers playing after having a surgical procedure a week before playing the Pats...But, he is not in the same class as Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger and I think you can add Brees to that list...QB's that are at another level...Rivers has heart...not sure if he has the head to lead a team to a championship.
Rivers has much better stats than Roethlisberger, who is a mental midget. Roethlisberger road off of a good defense to win those super bowls, whereas without Rivers the Chargers are nothing as now we've transformed into a passing team. You think that Rivers can't win a super bowl even though guys like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson have won a super bowl this past decade?
I absolutely think Rivers can win a Super Bowl. Norv Turner is another story...

Ok, at least that makes sense. I'm also not 100% sold on Norv Turner yet; if he leads the Chargers to the super bowl this year and wins it, then I'll give him props; until then he's still an average at best coach. I think the talent that the Chargers have is enough to get us a championship, regardless of who the coach is.
You're thinking it's a Barry Switzer kind of situation huh?
Yup. We're smooth sailing towards a super bowl; Norv just needs to not rock the boat. It's the same with Jim Caldwell; he inherited a great team with a proven system still in place; all he had to do was not tamper with it and so far he's done just that; leaving everything about the offense to Tom Moore and Peyton Manning.
