Am I just really sick in thinking that I'd rather go into the Super Bowl facing the Pats instead of the Chargers. I really would love to see Green Bay with a chance to knock off the team dubbed 'Greatest of All Time'.

Maybe I'll come down from this stance by 5:30 pm. I also can't stand anything Boston. Maybe an upset before the game would really hurt them. But as much as a Super Bowl loss?

There is always a chance of Brady getting injured in the 1st quarter. Or even a kick return touchdown and a interception return touchdown could keep the Chargers in this game. Anything can happen. The Patriots haven't looked unbeatable the second half of the season.

I'm hoping for a close game. I don't see it happening.

Actually I see this game being fairly competitive, but still in the Pats 7-14 point win, where you never actually think they have a chance of losing.

AC and Jammer are studs, and the Chargers are motivated.

Bust, I agree with you. I have always been of the mindset of playing the best to become the best.

Plus I'm pretty sure we're still there's gotta be one guy left over from 96 on that team that remembers that ass whipping...anyone? Anyone? Long snapper perhaps???

I think that I want the Patriots to play the Packers in the Super Bowl. I don't think the Packers should fear any team, and I think that it would be the greatest closing chapter that Favre could ever ask for if the Packers could pull off a win against the Patriots.

Unfortunately, I don't think that Favre would come back if we won a Super Bowl against the 18-0 Patriots. However, I could not think of a better way to send him off.

Bleh, if the Packers were in the Superbowl and it was up to me I'd have them playing the Dolphins.

I could care less about a chance of beating the supposed best team in NFL history. Give me whatever team the Packers have a better chance of beating.

The Packers aren't trying to write a script for a made for TV feel good movie; they are trying to win a Superbowl.

Go Chargers!

I will say that if the Chargers start winning it would be virtually impossible not to root for them.

But a Norv Turner coached team in the Super Bowl? Never happen.

Is it just me or does Brady look nervous/scared as hell.

The look on his face and body language looks nothing like his usual self,i'd say hes realy focused in such a big game and maybe thats what it is but its more of a scared look to me.

They had to shoot Rivers' knee up. He's really moving the ball against the Pats' D.

Chargers really blowing some opportunities here. They've had good field position and been inside the 10 twice and only hve 6 points.

That's not gonna cut it against an offense as potent as New England's.

It just takes him awhile to get used to the cold. If you spent half the time he does frolicking in 98.6 degree weather, you'd understand.

Agreed settling for FG's in the red zone ain't going to get the job done.

You ain't going to stop the Patriots offense from scoring, you just got to out score them.

Simulack · Post #14 » by **Simulack** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:07 pm

Hopefully I'm wrong but right now I'm starting to get that feeling that New England is about to blow this game open.

Post #15 » by **ReasonablySober** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:10 pm

Neither team is really impressing me. Both look pretty slow out there. Chargers have a tall task just to get this ball out of their own territory here.

Here we go...

Chargers need to do what the Giants did against Dallas before the half last week. Important drive.

Post #18 » by **Jollay** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:37 pm

This game is going how I expected it.

Simms just said it--when you can man up your corners it makes a helluva difference versus the Pats.

Al Harris and Charles Woodson can do that, last I checked.

Simulack · Post #19 » by **Simulack** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:56 pm

Second Brady pick.

Big opportunity for the Chargers here.

Great catch by Chambers there
