Even for T&R, this story is a stretch. What team doesn't prepare to face the top teams?

chargers need to get obsessed with not underperforming.

I agree Yoda this is a huge stretch. This ranks up there with some "destined to be" practice squad player getting a parking ticket.

The Charges need receivers. If the Pats are in their heads, then there is no hope for them cuz my boy, Billy O'Belichick, will scheme around them in ways they never imagined.

BS story...they go out and play every week like all the other teams
and try to win and not to woryy what other teams are doing....

every one is gunning for the top teams. this guy who wrote this is a real mental giant. Wonder if he had to lie down after thinking this one up.

Of course the Chargers are obsessed with the Patriots. They're the team who has prevented SD from possible Super Bowl glory. Until they can beat NE, their obsession will remain.

I'm a Patriots fan, and I know that the NFL will be watching lots of Super Bowl game tape to discover the secret to beating the Patriots. Chargers, take note.

They didn't have any problem dropping the Colts in the big game last year... Unfortunately that game sent them into the Pats missing LT, Gates, Rivers (playing but Injured), and several starters on D. They got bit by the injury bug, not that they necessarily were going to topple the Pats, but it skewed the results more then a little bit.

Theres 3 Big differences between the Pats and Charges, anyone care to guess?

"Theres 3 Big differences between the Pats and Charges, anyone care to guess?"

obviously: cold and cameras, not sure about the 3rd difference..

I dislike the Pats as much as anyone but Cason didn't even have a 1st round grade by most teams and now the Chargers are going to put him in the slot to cover Welker? That's the hardest of the 3 CB spots to play because you don't have a sideline helping you with the defense. If they're serious about this, Cason (if he even makes the team or starts) should be at the other corner and whatever warm body is there now should cover the slot.

Welcome to 8-8 guys. Phillip Rivers and Norv Turner aren't going to get better with what's left of Schottenheimer's ghost. LT's body should start to fail him in the next couple of seasons with the pounding he's been taking.

If you're going to use a team as your benchmark, you might as well use one that's won a Super Bowl and gone deep in the playoffs.

Maybe tomorrow we can get a headline "Dolphins Plan on Leaving the Basement this Year" and then some nice long article on hoping to double their wins in the new season.....
No offense to Fin Fans, just highlighting TnR's Crown on MOTO....

Chargers need some 'good' recievers. Vinny Jackson is mediocore at best. Gates is a beast but everyone know he or LT will get the ball. Need a speed guy in the slot maybe

This just in.... Randy Moss obsessed with getting attention

What good is it to beat the Pats in the regular season and then still choke in the playoffs?

Some teams just match up better with others. The last 5 years the Broncos have owned the Pats, but, the last 2 years the Chargers have Crushed the Broncos, all the while the Pats keep collecting rings........and cheating
