Plaster the Patriots

[La Costa Boy]

My neighbors are Pats fans.....my neighbors at the house before this one were.......Pats fans. JUST ONCE, I want to look at them and have them look at me knowing THEY LOST TO MY TEAM.


GO BOLTS and exorcise my demons.....

Even if tongue in cheek, the "humor" in your "clarification" is inappropriate, imo. There are some blows you threw that if this were a boxing match you'd be disqualified, imo. You're better than that...imo.

Yes. But even if you give him the benefit of the doubt, some of those comments were brutal. I don't like it.

Back to our regularly scheduled thread topic...

Plaster those Patriots!

I think you look at the Chargers in a vacuum. Their roster isn’t perfect and you wo t say they are there until it is. No roster is. Everybody has holes. Who can devise a plan to the strength of their players, execute and have some luck. That’s the difference now

Great post.

I have seen your pessimistic attitude before and I feel sad for you.


I know deep inside you wish for a chargers win but you are too cowardly to embrace your hope for a chargers Superbowl win. So you come on the CMB and predict doom and gloom for the simple solace of being right.

If the chargers win you get to enjoy the revelry quietly, but if they happen to stumble you can hide your crushed heart behind a false bravado of "I knew they were gonna lose".

I just want to say that it's OK to embrace the fandom and support and cheer for your team. Stand tall and stand proud and have faith your Chargers can overcome the insurmountable odds this time and win it all.

I guarantee you one thing, when they do win it all and you supported them steadfast through it. it will feel much sweeter than the minor solace you get for predicting failure.

Wow.... for all the POTD awards that get sent out... THIS post... should be POST OF THE YEAR.

You're absolutely right, why not enjoy this 100%? I know the Chargers have broken our hearts so many times, but this year, man.... it's different. And even if it's not, it feels so much better just ignoring the possibility of losing, or better said, it feels so much better just letting them play and you enjoying it and enjoying the ride.

This year for me, I have just sat back and I have enjoyed it all and I will continue to do so. NY should do the same and like you said, stop expecting them to lose and expect them and will them to make that play!

Thank you sir...

and as always....

BOLT UP AND BAG UP!!!!

You are correct, the Bolts could win it all, as they are in fact one of the final 8. That said, I do not expect them to, and most football experts/pundits seem to agree, as they are not favored. As I have said earlier, stay healthy, get some luck, and they could exceed expectations.

Wow. A civil discussion here on the CMB...except for maybe the "but you choose to ignore that" poke. Well done gents...and I say that as a poster, not a moderator. Dang, I'm going to miss this board.

ALL done this year.

Good point, Jub. So, therefore, we HAVE won big games against very good and/or elite teams...

The Chargers are tight game hardened and confidant. They believe in themselves and for good reason. Yes the Patriots have some impressive streaks but all streaks come to an end. All.

Why not this week? Any team, any place.

I like our team. I like what I hear out of the locker room from our guys. I think they like each other, enjoy being together and play for each other. I think we have superstars who have great work ethic. We have role players who embrace their role. I think we’re mentally tough now. I hope they put it all on display tomorrow and all those things add up to a V.
