Chargers Injury Update

[sbpatfan]

I hope they all play.

 

[Kontradiction]

Even if he plays, Gates won't be nearly as effective. Either way, our defense is catching a break. Nothing would be better than going in there and stomping the Chargers. Revenge for what they did to us in '08.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Facing SD with no Gates, Floyd, or Jackson would be so nice.

Matthews is looking like he's back to speed, but you can't have it all.

Re: Antonio Gates injured - May miss Patriots game

Either because poster thinks he can rip a team apart!

or

The poster likes dogs!

The latter.

And 2005. That one was ugly - kicking the Pats while they were down at home.

Re: SD "hopeful" Gates can play, not expecting Floyd or Kaeding

They've played the Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawks, Cardinals, Raiders and Rams.

.......and they're 2-4?????

Wow. Just wow.

Re: SD "hopeful" Gates can play, not expecting Floyd or Kaeding

Yeah I think bringing a guy in off the street over Kaeding only helps them.

Nate Kaeding is the most accurate (86.7) regular season kicker in NFL history. (With career longs of 57, 55, 54, 53 and 51)

A post-season choke, but one of the best there is in the regular season. He was on the All-Pro team just last year.

Him missing the game just further weakens their already horrible special teams.

.........and Las Vegas has the Chargers favored by 3?

We already paid them back for 2005 by knocking their asses out of the playoffs the following year.

Here's a game shot. Chargers got Burned

.........and Las Vegas has the Chargers favored by 3?

That's what scares the &&^&^ out of me. Usually, in the betting world, the three point favorites that look like they have no chance of winning - win. The masses bet on the Pats, because SD has lost 4 games, and could be without 3 more key players, and somehow Vegas cleans up.

It's always very suspicious. I trust nobody, and that spread makes me very nervous for the fix.

 

[JSn]

Gates is now said to be likely to play. Injury is less serious than they thought.

I like that. The Pats will get better by playing good teams at relatively full-strength.

 

[BlueThunder]

Our DB's will only gain solid experience playing against the best other offenses have, not their scrubs.

If they can cover Branch,Welker,Tate,Hernandes,Gronkowski in practice they should also get better as the season progresses.

........along with 2-4 teams that lost to the Raiders at relatively full-strength.

 

[Disco Volante]

Chargers have signed free agent kicker Kris Brown who was cut by the Texans this pre-season.

Most recently known for missing game-tying fields goals as time expired in two games last season. A 45 yarder against the Colts and a 49 yarder against the Titans.

Hit 65.5% of his kicks last year, compared to Nate Kaeding's 91.4%

Why would you let Vegas worry you?

 

[WhiteWesWelker88]

If he could just miss 1 game....... I hope it is versus the PATS

spreads don't mean ****..... It is Vegas' way of getting you to bet..
