As a Bolts Fan, I'm somewhat blinded by the homer glasses, but let me give you my thoughts:
1. SD: Has an extremely talented team and they will win their Division. They will do well in the playoffs, but I have my doubts about going all the way mainly due to intangibles. These include: lack of experience and lack of maturity. We have a lot of young players on the team and they're not immune to bone headed plays. As for Rivers and his healing process, he is a quick healer. After all, to play in the AFCCG a few days after having knee surgery is nuts. A healthy Gates and LT will mean that this is one of the more balanced teams in the league in terms of offense & defense. Another year to gel with the new coach's system never hurts either.
For the folks that seem to think that LT is like Tiki Barber and/or gutless and not classy, I have news for you. That most definitely is not the case from the team's stand point at all. The media and other fans speculation does not matter here. Mark my words on this.
I got news for u: just like when it comes to the PATS 'spygate' / Belichick villain crap (last seconds of SB / press conferences..) / PATS players last year mocking SD players, media and other fans speculation (like SD fans as yourself) does not matter either! Now U know what it feels like to deal with speculation / exaggeration (a lot of teams videotape other teams ...just one team got caught) / etc.....Some will call it 'homer' glasses for LT.
I still think he's a great player who wants the ball when it counts but I would feel uneasy about how serious the injury was for him not to play in a AFCC game. And I would speculate he was more worried about his long term career loss than losing the game.
I like SD - Rivers is a gamer (few of those around ) / defense ...but we'll see what happens.
