By definition, whomever wins is the best team.
having said that, neither team really shone brightly today. Brady was off, and the Bolts--dropped passes, stupid penalites, intercepting on 4th down, challenging an obvious correct call--the list goes on and on.
Are teh Charger more talented...
Congrats to you all.
It wasn't the best game in the world, but you converted on your turnovers. We didn't, and we made some real stupid penalties.
Good luck in Indy. Beat the Colts.
(I like your regular forum much better--real football and not inane smack.)
The Pats do have a history of rising to the occasion. Belichick is a good coach. Brady is, well Brady. Your D is good. All of these mean the Pats are a good team who can win today.
However, as Rivers has said, at...
WIth the Pats D on the field, we've got the most physical fullback with LoNeal out there, just seeking people to hit. Dielman and McNeil are also pretty physical, and Jackson is making a name for himself as a blocker, but I would give the edge to the Pats D.
When the Chargers are on D, you...
Not to sidetrack this thread, but what do you think about the SD pass rush vs. Brady and company? SD has a monster rush, and with Castillo back, it will be even better. Merriman, Philips, Godfrey, Castillo, Cooper--all can get to most QB's. BUt Brady seems to be slippery and can get the ball...
Not trying to deify him, but you should see what he does in the community. Like taking 25 kids to the games, then meeting with them after for however long it takes, talking to each and every one. Taking kids to lunch. Visiting kids in the hospital. And his wife is equally as gracious.
I...
Yes, there are teams with which I have problems. Any team with TO. The Raiders (I was born in Oakland, but the switching back and forth and the obnoxious fans has distanced me.) The Colts (leaving in the dead of night).
I do like the Saints, the Pats, the Packers, the Steelers, The Seahawks...
Whoever wins tomorrow has to be favorewd over the Colts next week.
The Colts D gave them their two wins. But I think they are playing over their heads. I really don't think they can stop the Chargers O, and I think Brady can pick them apart.
Both the Chargers and the Pats have physical...
Actually, there are quite a number of Pats fans on our boards.
I only started going to other boards this year as football has taken on a bigger meaning for me. I rarely post because the rampant homerism on most boards does nothing for me. I posted here because the majority of the folks...
I didn't check your board until yesterday, but it seems to me that both on our board and yours, there has been very little of the smack talking homerism which usually arises and there has been much more reasonable football postings from visitors.
Bottom line is we both have good teams. We...
If you do win tomorrow, then good luck next week. We can't let the Colts get in! After all, with Seau, Harrison, and Caldwell, you are "part" Chargers as it is! :)
If we win, I hope you guys are rooting for us as well.
I have to admit I am pulling for the Saints. I still like Drew, the...
Uh, for the spirit of the game, that would be good. But as I am a Chargers fan, I hope it does not come down to the coaches but rather the players!! (I do want us to win, after all!) :p
I just want to compliment most of the fans posting here. Yes, there is a little inane smack talk, but for the most part, the posts are thoughtful, interesting, and reasonable. Of course you all want the Patriots to win, but most of you seem to be a fan of the game overall. I haven't really seen...
(You are right, this is a good post. It is a pleasure to visit another forum and talk football, not just reading alot of smack.)
The Charger's front seven is amongst the best in football. "Keying" on Brady will mean bringing in Merriman, Phillips, Godrey, Cooper. It will not mean abandoning...
Actually, that is a great point as well. When the Pats are on offense, who do we key on? Brady, for sure, but he can get rid of the ball quickly. After him, who? He spreads the ball around so much the D doesn't know where to key. And that can make for a long, long day.
I know this sounds...
The numbers speak for this crew.
But, just to point out, there is a world of difference between LA and SD. Camp Pendleton is the great divide which stops the creeping LAfication of San Diego. We really don't like them up there, and they don't like us.
New York and Boston aren't that far...
The Pats can stop LT. It has happened. LT is great, a great player and a great person. But if you stack the box agaisnt him, give him no daylight, you can stop him. And I would not be surprised to see the Pats shut him down on the ground tomorrow.
However, we are a more balanced team than the...
