Look, San Diego is a talented team. Merriman, Cromartie, Phillips, Castillo, LT, Chambers, Gates, the O-Line, and so on are good players. Rivers is inconsistant, which is why they aren't an elite team like the Pats, but they really can't hurt us unless we play a stinker.
Injuries! Gates is not 100%, and could not make any big plays last week, so I don't expect him to cause many matchup problems with our LB's.
LT will be a no go. I am sorry, I saw the play, his knee was twisted, and I am going to bet money that he suffered a torn ligament. If it was just a sore knee, he would have been playing against Indy.
Rivers injury is more serious than I thought. I am not worried about him or Volek, but I'd rather play against Volek because he is worse than Rivers.
So if those 3 are not 100%, no chance in hell they beat us.
Cromartie vs. Moss will be a tough matchup, but I don't see him beating Moss on one on one coverage. And, I don't see Brady throwing to Moss unless he is open or a jump ball only he can get.
With all these injuries, I don't see them having a legit shot. If they were ALL healthy, I'd be a little worried, but not to the point I'd think they would lose.
The first game of the season you can't take much from. The Chargers got better, but like every team, so did we.
Pats-42 Chargers-17
