Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
I dunno what got into Mathews but he ended up having a really good season. All I had known about him coming into this year was he was drafted high, was injured a lot, and fumbled frequently. I think Woodhead coming in and sharing the work load in a different way (lots of receptions) really helped. Woodhead was a great fantasy pick up for me, consistent every week it seemed.
Keenan Allen has been IMPRESSIVE. I think he's gonna consistently produce at a high rate. Don't think he'll hit those superstar highs, but he'll give you 80 reception and 1100 yards a year. Allow other players to work against 2nd and 3rd corners. What an excellent draft pick.
Chargers fans should be excited. Rivers is back, the offense appears to be in good hands, not sure how the defense is holding up, and a good young coach to steer the ship.
as for this weekend, i am confident they can win but denver isn't the number one seed for nothing. it should be a great game. to me its a toss up.Comment

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
I expect Denver to win but give the Chargers respect and think the point spread is too high.San Diego executed the perfect gameplan last time and it was still a one td game.I don't think things will go that perfectly for them this time.
I don't consider this a gimme but you're either a Chargers fan or really don't like Denver if you pick San Diego to win this game on the road.Yes,it happened one time and could happen again,but the odds aren't good.
It's not quite the reach you intimating it is, still Denver being the favorite is a no brainer, they are the more talented team.Comment

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
Plus it's a division game. I throw out the numbers when playing within the division, and the Chargers having beat the Broncos once and playing well against them overall just backs that up. Now it's that 3rd matchup, and it's the playoffs.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards Denver, but if SD wins (and I'm pulling for them!) I would not be surprised.NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
NFL - Buffalo Bills
MLB - Cincinnati Reds

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
I'm scared crapless from this matchup.
Don't know how other Broncos fans are so confident.
I'm just glad it's the last game of the weekend so it doesn't ruin my appetite to watch other football games if it doesn't end well.Comment

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
As far as the game my hunch tells me Denver will win comfortably. I love what SD has been doing and I know how well they have played the Broncos this year, but I'm going to guess that Denver is going to handle them. Just a guess though.Comment

SD has never lost to Manning in the post season, but they also have never beat him with Denver in the post season.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
The fact that Rivers is 6-2 in Denver has been brought up a lot, but that doesn't mean anything. Most of those wins were against inferior Denver teams lead by Orton, Tebow, and an immature Cutler at a time when SD was the class of the division.
SD has never lost to Manning in the post season, but they also have never beat him with Denver in the post season.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
Quite often the playoffs are about who's hot at the right time. Last year it was the Ravens while in previous years it was the Cardinals, the Saints, the Packers, etc.
I expect Denver to win, but I wouldn't bet on it…the Chargers have improved immensely in the last 6 weeks and gave the Broncos all they could handle in their two meetings."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
Agreed.. However my point was it's not quite the reach some said it was. I mean the only way you'd pick the Chargers is if you're a Charger fan or you hate the Broncos? Really? Given their history, given recent results, given it's a division rivalry game? Not to mention the matchups or the fact Denver's defense is quite porous?
My post wasn't discrediting the Chargers by any means.Many want to take the two games and think that the same gameplan will be effective and pick stats to back it.
If Denver is the better team,generally,then it would stand to reason that you are reaching to an extent to pick an upset.They were 13-3 and 9-7 for a reason.Obviously this doesn't mean everything.
If you notice,Broncos fans are picking the Broncos and Chargers fans the Chargers.What a surprise!Fans are going to find whatever logic they can to try to convince themselves and others.Comment

Way to manipulate posts and take jabs btw.

Better talent doesn't always win. That's clear.
you said:
Clearly that's not true, nor is Denver the lock you make them out to be.Comment

Re: AFC Divisional Round: #6 San Diego Chargers vs #1 Denver Broncos
Just saying that the two games results,which were a split,doesn't mean much of anything.I don't know how one could say Denver isn't the better team.That doesn't mean anything for one game either.
I still stand by my statement based on taking the result from a few weeks ago and hoping basically the same result will happen again.That's what you're saying if you pick the Chargers.
I wouldn't take Denver with the point spread at 9.5 and stated that the Chargers certainly aren't a gimme.I'm actually showing more respect for the Chargers than you have shown for the Broncos,I believe.Comment
