Well it’s no secret that we are not on everyone’s win list against the Colts this weekend. And if our attempt at the unbeaten Colts looks anything like our effort against the Dolphins last weekend, not only will we lose, but the commissioner might call us up and fine the hell out of us for pretending to be a good team for thirteen weeks of the 2005 season. I for one am not ready to admit that we can’t beat the Colts this weekend for a few reasons. Since I am not feeling particularly articulate about this topic due to a severe lack of confidence, you get the ugliness of bullet point format…
• The Colts, until I am proven otherwise, are the best team in football right this moment.
• The Colts have accomplished a perfect season to this point, beating all of their competition, doing exactly what they need to do. Much like the undefeated college teams that maintain a number one ranking for a few seasons, people start to look for reasons why they don’t deserve to be number one. Level of competition, easy schedule, etc. Bottom line, they have won every game. The best team usually does just that.
• The Colts have played what I believe to be two tough games this season. Jacksonville is not, not, not a good football team.
• The Chargers will be a very tough game for them. I believe that the Chargers are at least as good as Cincinnati, and better than Pittsburgh (yes I know we lost to them).
• Freddy Smoot is my favorite non-Charger in the league right now. Sorry but that needed to be said. “70% of the earth is covered with water. The rest is covered by Smoot.” That other 30% now includes NFL receivers and porn star strippers.
• Leap of Faith: The Chargers cannot lose this game. Everyone keeps saying that. If they do, they don’t belong in the playoffs. If they come out flat again, I’m quitting football for at least three and a half hours.
• The Chargers may need to score 50 this week in order to win.
• The Chargers need to shorten the game. Keep Horrible Manning Version 1.0 off of the field.
• Ladainian Tomlinson. Ladainian Tomlinson. Ladainian Tomlinson. Coach? Coach? Got it? Ladainian Tomlinson. Ladainian Tomlinson. Ladainian Tomlinson.
I can’t say anymore about this. We need to win. We have a hell of a challenge against us. Can we win and right the ship? I am going to spend the next two days convincing myself that we can…
