Somewhere the Chargers are sitting back thinking:

“Damn, we’re some overlooked bastards. I mean, I know we haven’t won the Super Bowl, but damn. We were robbed by the refs and the Broncos in the beginning of the season. We played 2 of the toughest divisions in football this year – the NFC South and the AFC East. Don’t ANY of you people remember when we were healthy and BLEW OUT the Jets and Patriots? ANYBODY?

We have the top-rated passer in the entire league and he’s not going to the Pro Bowl. We won out down the stretch after losing our best defensive player, criss-crossing three times, going all the damn way to LONDON to play the Saints, and playing with an injured LT and AG all year…and still no respect.

Here come the Colts. Didn’t we beat them in their house last year? Still no respect. We’ve just our legs from that Trans Atlantic trip…Just you wait and see. The Colts. Hmmphh!! No respect.”

Dredded One:

Just a point of information…If the Ravens beat the Dolphins, they’ll have to cannibalize the Titans ALL BY THEMSELVES. They won’t be able to rely on the Steelers. The Ravens road to the SB goes through Tennessee. The only way they play Indy is if the Colts beat SD and Pitt on the road.

As I said up top — I have no idea.

As usual, I don’t like your top 5 Mizzo. My prediction is a Carolina/Baltimore Super Bowl. Carolina is hot right when it counts, have a really good secondary, and have a dangerous tag team in the back field. Ravens are a very balanced team and their special teams unit is quit under-rated. Baltimore can get past Indy because Indy can’t defend the run. B-more get the ball, scores a couple of times, and eats up the clock it might be a wrap. Tenn and Pitt will cannibalize each other one way or another; Roslesberger is playing hurt, Collins is playing beyond himself.

Yeah Mizz…..Joey Porter called Indy out on this back in 2005. It’s like teams try to play Indy’s style instead of sticking to their particular style. The Steelers and perhaps the Ravens are the only teams that i’ve seen that stick to the script. Regardless of the fact, Indy does not like to play physical football and that’s how you can beat them.

I agree Patrick….you must be able to pressure Peyton. San Diego doesn’t have that pass rush they had last year w/ Merriman injured, so it’s gonna be tough for them to get that pressure.

….”I think it was Origin who said that we could have an all “Manning Superbowl”. It would not surprise me at all if it did happen. I would be mad as hell, but not surprised….”

I hope that doesn’t happen.

Eli is more tolerable than Peyton, but I wouldn’t like to see an ALL MANNING SUPERBOWL..I might just boycott the game….LOL

San Diego has a chance to beat Indy. Heck, most teams have a chance to beat Indy. However, against Indy you must be able to RUN THE BALL and RUSH THE PASSER. Pressure Peyton, and have an effective running game that wears down the Colts’ defense–especially late in games.

Thomas Jones stepped up and called Brett out. ‘Letting Brett be Brett’ isn’t necessarily a good thing. Sometimes Brett has to be (needs to be) a better game manager, and maybe there was a power struggle between Mangini and Favre and Brett ended up doing what he wanted, and the resulted is a sluggish finish and no playoffs.

Jones didn’t have the chemistry that Pennington apparently has in Miami , and in the end that’s where the Jets probably fell apart.

Favre is a veteran, but sometimes it isn’t a good thing for the ball to be in hands MOST of the time. The gunslinger, reckless side of Brett comes out and once that Pandora box is opened, it is hard to close…. I don’t know what kind of relationship that Brett had with Julius Jones, but I tend to agree with Julius’ analysis of the situation in New York.

Hmmmm….so Dan Reeves wants to come back?? Sure would be some freaky karma if he did and the last QB he drafted ended up being the starter for’em:

What how dare they say anything about the great american hero Brett Farve.

Thomas Jones better watch his back now. ESPN will be in full hunt now that Thomas Jones called out the great hope Farve.

Jones better not mess up and short a waitress or stripper when it comes to tipping. He better pay all his bills on time because ESPN will find out and put him on full blast.

You mess with the great golden boy……….you gots to pay. Plan and simple.

Good post brotha Mizzo.

Yo could you give me a low down on Mcnabb’s answers to your legacy and media questions. I didn’t catch the press conference.

Sad to say guys but it was me that said that it could be a manning superbowl….yuck!!!

I rather eat uncleaned chitlins then watch that mess.

Anyway please Andy Reid please I beg of you don’t start passing the ball 50 times now that the eagles are in the playoffs……….balance please balance.

Also the Colts don’t stop the run but they are very low in rushing attempts. Not sure if the chargers can beat them since they have no pass rush.
