Pats fans know deep down that the pats are certainly the better team. We exposed the chargers' pregame swagger in last year's playoffs as being the empty puffing of naive overconfidence. The pats' talent level on both sides of the ball since then has been upgraded considerably, on offense dramatically. The chargers have gone from having a coach with a shaky playoff record to one that has been consistently mediocre. The pats' have a coach that has won superbowls with far less talent than he has now, and players that are very familiar and comfortable with his system. The chargers shut down Moss when he was on a team that was far less potent offensively than this year's pats. The pats will punish the chargers if they commit too many defensive resources to Moss.
Perhaps you can admit now that you are overconfident, perhaps even embarrassingly so? Chargers fans will be left weeping in the insipid San Diego sunshine when the pats finish crushing them next week.
