Patriots Pregame Thread AFC Divisional: We're on to the Chargers (Beat LA!)

[Vatahala]

The Chargers should have LT riding the bike on the sidelines for emotional support.

This is not necessarily the game we wanted, but Chargers it is. I am hoping back-to-back weeks of travel to the east coast and cold weather (low 30s/high 20s) will help us. The Chargers are now 9-1 on the road, with their only loss being against the Rams, which really doesn't count as a road game. They are road warriors. With that said, bring on Rivers!

You said it, not the matchup i wanted. At least not this early, friggin texans. But if we are sb bound, wed have had to face them at some point. Its gonna be a battle. They are solid everywhere, including st. I hope every kick goes into the end zone. Will be a battle . Lets hope our ownage of them continues. Has rivers ever beaten brady? I know he beat cassell in 08..

I guess they have standards ...

Meaning he’ll be active.

Chargers expected to activate Hunter Henry on Monday

Rivers has never won against Brady. That's not going to change next week.

History has no bearing on sports. Tell me about X's and O's or strategy, but do not state "has never".

I’ll get back in there. They can’t keep me out. ContradictioM is coming for them.

Just for the record, we are undefeated this year when I start the "we are on to the ____" threads.

Yep, that’s absolutely the key to this game, I’ve been saying it for weeks.

 

[nabwong]

Here’s my hottake. I think we’ll win because we’ll score more points than them and they’ll score less points than us.

Hasn't played all year. I don't expect a big impact

Agree, but NE still has to prepare for him. All it takes is one 5 yard red zone TD catch.

They will work him in slowly in the hope he'll make an impact in the Super Bowl. Honestly, Gates made some nice plays today...

It's not like they need to prepare for kittle or kelce.

More interested in seeing Allen and Patterson return.

Allen helping in pass protection very important

Our tackles gave up a ton of pressures last time. Need to be better Sunday.

You don't say.

Hate to say this, but this might be the worst match up for the Pats. The Chargers might be the most complete team in the AFC this year.

I think the Pats at home gives them far more than a puncher's chance of winning, but I wouldn't bet on the Pats if this was on a neutral field.

Didn't realize Chargers had below road wins:
Week 9: 25-17 @ Seahawks
Week 13: 33-30 @ Steelers
Week 15: 29-28 @ Chief

Those are tough road games against pretty decent to good teams. Still confident Patriots win this.
