But essentially the Colts were only missing Harrison, and I don't believe they suffered a lot of injuries throughout the game like the Chargers did -- losing Rivers and Tomlinson is a big crush to the offense.
Indy should have won, but blew it.

Marvin played but he wasnt 100% and Dwight Freeny was out for the season. Other than that, the team was at full strenght.

But once the Bolts lost LT and Rivers, it was amazing how they were able to still win. Not to mention Antonio Gates wasnt 100% as well.

A shame for the Chargers that this is the year they finally make a run because they are setting themselves up for a public embarrassment this weekend.

It's pretty likely that the Chargers get bent over big-time this weekend. For as much shit as they talk, they better back it up, or they're going to get laughed at by the entire league.

I thought about it and i think it'll be great to see a Green Bay- Patriots superbowl....Brett Favre vs Brady. It really sounds exciting to me although I'd really love to see the Bolts pull off the biggest upset of the year.

If you think the Pats are going to lose to the Chargers you need to check yourself into the nearest mental institution. And honestly I thought the Chargers really weren't that good they just sucked less than the Colts did.

I don't want to make excuses for Indy, but weren't they less than 100% going into this game? I'd like to think a Colts team at full strength beats SD at full strength if that's the case.

fully agree with you there if the Colts play up to their normal selves they would demolish the chargers.

Sidenote: is anyone else getting really annoyed with Rivers's pissyness? Seriously it's like hes 5-years old and must go around saying "hahaha you lost" or something else stupid.

Well he has to get his shots in now before they get raped on Sunday.

Amen to this.

I haven't watched many Bolts games this year except for when they played KC, but ESPN had nearly a whole damn highlight reel of him just bitching.

That's pathetic. The sad thing is that some of the other players seem to have the same attitude.

[JackTheRipper]

Partially why I don't like the Chargers. He's just a sore winner and when he gets demolished sunday, he'll be a sore loser as well.

What's funny about Rivers is, did he beat the Colts? No. His back-up did. Rivers sucks and it's nice to see. People started stfu about the whole Eli/Rivers thing because Rivers wasn't help his team during the season and still isn't now. He talks too damn much for someone who has done nothing in the league and I can't wait to see the Patriots secondary eat him up.

I wouldn't mind seeing Eli vs. Rivers SB in spite of the Patriots but to be honest, the Giants vs. Patriots is something I'd enjoy a lot more. Packers vs. Patriots too but I'd prefer not to see Brett Favre lose to that cheating, pretty boy.

Erhm, I was under the impression that Belichick and staff were reviewing everything..

People who hate the Patriots for their successes apparently will never let go of the "cheating" thing....

[Loki]

No, I won't. No matter how much people can argue we'll never know how much those tapes helped them in their past years, where they were good with no team whatsoever on offense. This year I give them credit for but those past years I will not give them.

And I'm sorry but the league has seemed to fix things for the Patriots since 2001 with the whole Raiders game in the snow all the way down to the bullshit that culminated in the Ravens game. You can take it how you want to but I will never drop the cheating thing because I believe they have cheated for years now in one way or another.

EDIT:


LOL.

[cooljayhu]

the bullshit in the ravens game? What are you talking about? The ravens called the timeout on the 1st 4th down, our OL took the penalty on the 2nd 4th down, and that was a clear PI IMO before the winning TD. The Ravens had their chances and blew it cause they lost their cool after they stopped them on the timeout play.

Who exactly are you talking about when you say "our"

[cooljayhu]

I can use the our to describe the pats if I want to.

[Sportsbuck]

IIRC, cooljay has been a Pats fan for a while.

[JackTheRipper]

Loki, what bullshit with the Ravens? You mean the blatantly stupid penalties they took that eventually cost them the game?
