Roll your eyes all you want. Nobody said they have nothing going for them. The Chargers are a good team-fact. Do we think they will beat the Pats? No. Could they beat the Pats? Sure.
But...having a team of pro bowlers means nothing. Beating Indy twice also means nothing. The first game you beat them, you were a healthy team. Indy was not. They were battered and bruised and Manning was throwing to third string receivers. Dwight Freeney, arguably one of the league's best pass rushers was out toward the end of the game. In addition, the weather was horrible and the Chargers came within a Vinatieri missed chip shot of losing. The Chargers did beat the Colts this past weekend. Which was a great accomplishment. Again, however your team was given many gifts: (Harrison fumble, two ints that should never have happened, etc.). Heck, the Chargers even overcame injuries and bad officiating. But to claim that beating the Colts twice is a huge accomplishement is flawed.
Also, you say that winning 12 of your last 14 games is huge. Sure it is. However, who did you lose to in there? The Patriots. And, who did you beat? Let's look, shall we?
Denver
Oakland
Houston
Indy
Baltimore
Kansas City
Tennessee
Detroit
Denver
Oakland
Tennessee
Indy
And, the Chargers lost to:
Minnesota
Jacksonville
Point: Who in that list above made the playoffs? Tennessee did. And you struggled against them in both games. Indy did...but I already discussed why the first win was not a huge accomplishment. The teams you lost to ran all over you. In fact, Adrian Petersen rewrote the record book on your defense for rushing yards.
Look, nobody is dissing the Chargers...but to say that they will beat the Patriots because they have 8 pro-bowlers, have won 12 games against mostly bad teams and beat Indy twice is simply foolish.
