So, Denver is down their best defender( Miller), a top performer on D( Wolfe), Peyton Manning doesn't know to beat us, Rivers kills the Broncos( especially in Denver), and yet, we're the underdogs?
I'm not quite sure I follow that logic.

Well in the interest of fairness, the only fair thing to do is to acknowledge that Peyton broke the regular season records for TD passes (with one that was not really a TD but they gave it to him anyway) and yards passing (with one lateral that they counted incorrectly as a pass that they gave to him anyway). And Manning has a 9-11 playoff record with ..... 8 one and dones. Including last year, when, in all fairness, the Broncos should have won. To be fair.

Hey quit giving the "all-time passing yards leader in the history of the NFL"* a hard time.Prediction:
Correct: Chargers CI fails miserably.
Fail: Team stays in San Diego until their lease runs out in 2020. (without getting new deal done by then) .
Sig Bet WIN: The Chargers will file for relocation on January 15.

Not to get too ahead of myself...but if RM is too hurt to be effective and the running game as a whole sort of stalls...against THIS particular defense that might not necessarily be a bad thing as I think we can move it thru the air on them just as effectively. Granted, we need/WANT the running game to be effective for many reasons (TOP, keep Manning on the bench, etc), but I'll also take a Rivers statement game too.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

A lot of people are still slobbering all over the #1 scoring offense.
But in the games I watched this season, a lot of them were fairly low scoring until the late 3rd and 4th qtrs. Then Denver usually would make score, stop trying to play ball control, followed by one or more turnovers, giving Den great field position and it was all downhill. So, the flip side of their high powered offense is that teams played into their game plan a lot. Not that just hand over the game to Den, but they often let the pressure of the moment get to them. And now that many of the guys who force the turnovers are down, I am not sure that dynamic is going to be there for them.
I think the big thing we need to keep doing is just keep running the ball, mixing in the pass and don't become one dimensional. Shaun Phillips is basically their only pass rusher left. He had 6.5 of his 10 sacks in the first 8 weeks. 6 of his 10 sacks came on 3rd and long, many when they had a lead or in the 3rd/4th qrt when teams feel the pressure from Manning. So, mostly we need to keep moving the ball eating the clock and make sure we panic and do something stupid.

Originally posted by Beerman View PostWolfe is a big loss IMO. He was their best interior lineman since he was drafted last season and a big reason they improved in run defense. It's pretty close of an impact to us losing Liuget.
Need to get some 3 and outs on their offense.
