Re: Don Banks:Season predictions
Again with the age.
I have no problem with Banks predicting the Chargers win the Super Bowl but those seem like some dubious reasons why they'll win and the Patriots will lose.
Motivation? Losing the Super Bowl after winning 18 straight isn't motivation?
Travel? The Chargers have one more cross country game than the Patriots, who could also make just two trips, staying in Cali for the week of practice.
Late playoff meltdowns? Uh, what would you call the end to the Chargers' 2006 season? What about not getting the ball for the final 9+ minutes of the AFC Championship game? What about all of those injuries? Which is worse, healthy, older players, or young studs who can't make it on the field?
I expect more from a national football writer.
