I'm speaking as a life long Patriots fan:
In 2001, the Rams were a much better team than the Patriots. The Pats took it all with heart and some great coaching. But that season should serve as hubris for any Pats fan. No one picked the Patriots in any of their play-off games and it was LAUGHABLE that the Patriots were going to beat the Rams in the Super Bowl.
Make no mistake, the Chargers CAN beat the Patriots. To think it's impossible is to forget the year that started it all for the Patriots.
I hope the pats feel the same way.This time last year I was nervous as hell. This year? Not so much. We beat this same team when they were completely healthy by 24 points. Brady is 7-0at home in the playoffs. There really is no reason to pick the Chargers in this game.
that rams analogy I keep hearing about would make a little more sense if the chargers were in any way comparable to any pats team of the past.
I hope the pats feel the same way.
Well if they don't then why do their fans feel that way?Not a chance. Sorry.

Not nervous at all, we know this team and what we are getting. The boys just need to go out and play Patriots football......

Au, contraire, mon freire. I know exactly who this team is and just how good they are. I know they respect the Bolts and are not even thinking they should win by 24. I know they, unlike you, know for certain this is not the same team they played back in week 2.You don't know very much about this team do you? They'e been dealt a different distraction week after week. The media, the fans, and their friends and family are constantly telling them how good they are. There's a reason why no one has gotten this far before, because the players begin to buy their own hype. BB is no Wade Phillips. The players know that it's SB or bust and a simple off-day can ruin that dream. They respect their opponents unlike that Russian D-lineman of yours. The Pats will be ready for the Chargers tomorrow and we as Pats fans know this, giving us great confidence in our team.
A Lot all the Time for me. Barely functional, in fact.
I'll be reading and posting on the game thread. At some point in the game, be it with the score still at 0-0 or with the Patriots up 540-0, the Chargers are going to make a play and get a first down. When that happens, some asshat will immediately start in with the "This defense sucks!"/"The linebackers are too old and slow"/"Player X is overrated!".
I'll let that asshat do my worrying for me.

Bottom line, Bolts bring their game it's going down to the wire. I know for certain the pats know this.
