This team that is playing on Saturday is the team that was 9-1 with a **** ton of sacks, and a top 3 defense. It's also the same team who's offense has exploded with a QB who is coming into his own in the WCO. We're healthy. This isn't the team that went 2-5 down the stretch, banged up, shuffling players here and there, and with NO Justin Houston. At times NO Tamba Hali. And with NO Branden Albert.

They're hungry. They're pissed. And they're out to prove people wrong about them. This is the year we make a run. Be happy the ****ing Chargers made the playoffs. Be happy we got shafted at the end of that game TWICE to lose that allowed them in.

Why? Because the Chargers are another team that can make some noise. I'm not sure that we can beat Denver again. If we can, we'll need to get some momentum built up, and I don't want to play them until the AFC Championship if possible.

The Bengals are a great home team, so I don't know that the Chargers can win that game. I mean the Bengals are night and day different home and away. If the Bengals win, they'll lay right the **** down in NE. We wouldn't. So be Chargers fans on Sunday. Let them go to Denver.

That's all conjecture, because we haven't won a playoff game in 20 years.

I'm calling my shot. We're winning this game. And I don't think it's going to be close in the last 5 minutes of the game. I think we'll have a 2 + possession lead. I truly think we're going to make some noise in the playoffs this year, and I think we're the sleeper Super Bowl pick in the AFC.

If we have the defense that started the season, there isn't a game out there we can't win. But my enthusiasm certainly isn't as high once we get to that point.

Was the early season defense a mirage though?

If we are going by playoff history, like I said before... Justin Houston isn't going to stop Manning.

As of now, no. Pretty much everyone practiced yesterday except Franklin and Moala.

Even "Glass" Greg Toler practiced. :eek:
