What a game. As a fan, this is pretty much as exciting as it gets. A fan by definition is a die-hard, who will believe anything is possible. But trailing 4th quarter, no Tomlinson, Rivers, Gates, Neal.. Billy Volek at QB and Sproles in the backfield, and Nanee... and you are only playing the Indianapolis Colts away from home in a divisional playoff. You get 7 points wiped off on a (terribly) wrong refreeing call. I admit I did not believe for a moment. But I was wrong. That was quite a performance, extremely gutsy.
Yes everybody wanted an Indy vs Pats showdown. One writer (if you can call him that) went as far as saying that the Chargers are a bunch of goofs because they messed up everyone's dream match by winning!
I think everyone was so caught up with the fact that this was going to be an Indy vs Pats dream AFCCG, they are just finding it hard to accept that Indy got beat at home against a team that they were a 10 point favorite to win. But this is the NFL, and I know what SD is made up of. They should have gone to the Superbowl last year - one fumble changed everything. But it is the same team that went 14-2 last year and the Pats needed a shade of luck to beat! You cannot underestimate a team like that.
I don't know what is going to happen on Sunday... how banged up we are. One thing I do know is that this is not going to be an easy game for the Pats. I know they will be ready, and I know SD will be ready, irrespective of available personnel. Forget about the regular season blowout, this is the AFC championship game. This is going to be an exciting game.
