No problem, Portland Stater. I kinda adopted the SD teams while I was stationed down there. I just can't stand their GMs. The Pads keep going after power hitters when their park is better suited for a running game. And the Chargers under A.J. Smith have dumped the two best QBs they've had since Dan Fouts and are left with that punk Rivers.
Here's how I see the AFC Championship Game coming down:
With a minute left, the Bolts will be within one possession, if not tied. But Rivers throws a game-sealing pick six to Junior Seau, prompting Smith to get canned the next day. It was Smith who several years ago dumped Seau, saying he was "too old" to be any good anymore.
If the Chargers find a way past NE, it will be STRICTLY due to Tomlinson (and POSSIBLY Gates if he's not hurt too bad). John's son is going to have a decent game (if he plays), but otherwise, I just can't see them getting past the Patsies.
