SDR: Couple of quick observations. First, I’ve played and coached a lot of football, and I will tell you that God shows up an awful lot. More games than you would believe are decided by calls (bad and good), as well as those plays that seem either impossible or unbelievable (Vinatieri ganking that kick against the Chargers). I had a coach tell me one time that football games are won by the team making less mistakes and with the refs on their side.
Second, I am believing less and less in the Patsie’s invincibility. I think Billick and Baltimore really exposed the age and durability of the NE linebacking corps when they dosed them heavily with McGahee and that running attack. Against either the Jags or the Chargers, I think NE has a problem. I think Belichick has gotten into a lot of coaches’ heads this year, and I honestly think Indy had them cold earlier this year, but blew it late in the game. I also think that San Diego has Indy’s number, and you guys match up better than you realize, especially if you can rattle Manning.
On an unrelated note, Rivers needs to grow up. That nonsense with Cutler during last night’s game was childish. I understand the AFC West rivalry (I am a Raiders fan, after all), but what was that?
