Media: Chargers Have NO Chance

The San Diego Chargers and their fans don't even get 24 hours to revel in their upset victory of the Indianapolis Colts this past weekend in the playoffs...in fact, it was within minutes of their victory, and you already hear of how they have NO chance to win in Foxboro against the undefeated New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

In fact, I have one such gracious friend that shortly after the Chargers beat the Colts called and said congratulations and that the Chargers are going to get their asses kicked next week...hey, thanks. For you see, people think that Charger fans shouldn't be allowed to enjoy any sort of success because they are destined for failure and thus, you must be taunted at all times...

Last I checked, no one gave the Chargers a chance last weekend and look what happened? To me it seems that the folks who pick against the Chargers are getting more angry every time the Chargers win and their 'predictions' of Charger failure become more adamant, as if the Chargers are a little child not listening to their parents.

I think I am going to take the same position that I did last week...that is, do I think the Chargers are going to win? No. But do I think they can win...yes. Of course the Chargers are going to have play a similar game as the did this last weekend and if the officiating doesn't screw them too bad, it should at least be a close game....I would hope.

I also think that much of the Charger player's are building up their anger for the Patriots as they relive last year's playoff collapse, this year's earlier beat down and then just turn on the television or radio and watch and listen as the national media gives the Chargers a 0% chance of winning this game. I would hope the fire inside these players will be the extra motivation and determination that may be the difference in this game.
