San Diego vs. New England

[Mikey]

For the math challenged, averaging 5 TDs per game does not mean that they score 5 TDs every game, or so I've heard.

'Course you wouldn't expect Duncedale to know that.

dins is askeert to have surgery for his poor eyesight and can't always afford his contacts.

Give him a pass for goodness sake.

[Dinsdale]

statistics don't mean j.ack fucking shit once the game starts.

Sure they do.


Here's the most important one:


NE - 3

SD - 0

That's a pretty bold prediction, considering the Pats are favored by 14 and the over/under is something like 46. You think the weather will be that bad?
I thought the Pats were going to score 5 TDs plus a couple?

I think he's referring to either the projected turnover differential or the actual Lombardi differential.

Pretty fucking dense, aren't you?


Thought I was on ignore...

I think I mentioned the shitty software that doesn't allow moderators to be on the list.


And how would I know that you couldn't be a foe? Or are you too dense to figure that out?

I'm still laughing at this:

...whereas your last words would be, "GET OFF ME, YOU FAT BITCH!! I CAN'T FUCKIN BREATHE!!!"

Solid...

As for the AFC Championship game, I'll [chest bump]represent[/chest bump] CA and root for the Chargers, but after seeing how Manning and Company marched up and down the field to the tune of 400+ yds passing only to give up the rock twice inside the 5 yd-line, I'm thinking Brady is going to have a strong day against the Charger D. The only way this doesn't happen is if Brady is a bit off because of the wind and the Chargers play closer to the line and don't let themselves get killed by 10 and 15yd patters like they did in Indy by trying to not give up the big play. It's great and all to not give up any bombs to Moss or Stallworth, but NE is smart enough (just as Indy was) to take what you're going to give them, and not giving up big plays means exactly ja..ck shit if you don't win the game.

The big plus for the Chargers is the weather. Sure, they'll be out of their element in the cold, but so is anyone not from the Aleutians when it's minus-freaking-20 degrees. If the wind limits the Patriots passing game and they're forced to run, they're fucked. Meanwhile, the Chargers will be more than happy to run the shit out of the ball with a combo of LT and Turner.

So if the wind is 25MPH w/ gusts over 30 MPH:
Chargers 28
Pats 21

But if the weatherskank is completely full of shit, as they often are and the wind is negligible:
Pats 42
Chargers 28

True, but with that as an AVERAGE it means they have a tendancy to score A LOT more on occasion as well.

We're not covering that possibility this week.

Especially when one of your defensive "stars" thinks every play is an audition for Dancing With The Tards.... because he's "classy."


TH, I hope your team is prepared for another lecture on how to act after winning a playoff game... from a guy who has such VAST experience in the matter.


Just remember, it's "classy" to dance around like a jackass when you're losing, but it makes you horrible horrible people if you do it when you're winning. Especially if you "don't know who the guy is" that just made you the star of his career highlight film.

[Shoalzie]

LT being healthy isn't as big of a deal as I would've thought before. They've won the last two weeks with him only getting 109 total yards and one TD. They're a turnover-happy defense that also gets after the QB...the type of defense that should give the Patriots the most trouble but really the best defense against the Pats has been weather. Their lowest output was in that Jets game in Foxboro in subpar conditions.

You can't really run any exotic blitz schemes against the Pats because Brady will just find Watson over the middle or Welker in open space. The Chargers can take away Moss and Stallworth only to be killed softly with short passes and the running of Maroney. It's pretty much impossible to take the entire field away from Brady because he's so patient and if he's forced to hurry, he's got check downs anywhere. You have to hope Brady makes a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes. If he plays a near perfect game again this week...I can see the Pats covering that 13-1/2 and then some.

Chargers 20
Patriots 38
