[ex carrabba fan]

What a wild wild last three weeks.

The Chargers are one of the few teams that give the Colts fits, but anyway.

Leave me alone and let me dream.

Yep. When was the last time the Colts "dismantled" the Chargers anyway?

I went back to 2002 and still didn't see one.

Since all signs point to Denver losing this game, I'm going to pick the Broncos to win. This team seems to do the opposite of what's expected.

If the Broncos win, I think they will be one and done in the playoffs. If the Chargers win, I think they could make some noise.

However, another part of me doesn't want an excuse to not blow up this coaching staff as it needs to be. The last part of me wants nothing more than to beat the Broncos to make up for getting Hochuli'd in week two. I will say this....the Chargers defense is playing better than it was in week two and their offense seems to be clicking again as of late. There is something to be said about momentum and riding their current winning streak while the Broncos have gone on to lose game after game the past few weeks. Next week can't get here soon enough....

Absolutely, I want the win, if for no other reason than justice.

Defense has been better, but will they go back to sitting in 3 deep when Denver spreads the field? I would bet we're going to see a whole lot of shotgun, empty backfield from Denver. It's what Shanahn used in the first game, it's what's killed SD the last two years, and Denver is banged up at RB.

If I were a betting man, I bet Shanahan spreads the field the whole game.

Should be a fun game to attend. Are Charger fans as ruthless in person as Raider fans are? I was thinking of wearing a Champ Bailey jersey or something.

Also, I'm coming down on Sat. night probably so can some of you SD guys suggest a bar to watch the morning and afternoon games before heading to the stadium? I don't wanna miss Week 17 just because I'm coming down for this game.

Does he have any other choice?

At the very least they'll know what's coming 9 out of 10 plays.
