Chargers vs Ravens: Who will beat the Patriots?


Recommended Posts

Chargers have both the offensive and defensive talent to beat the Pats**, I don't like the odds of a rookie QB going up against Belichick. Unfortunately he eats them for breakfast and eventually the Pats** will score against the Ravens defense, I think the Browns showed that you can.

Chargers, although Baltimore seems to usually play the pats tough having a rookie qb go against belichick is a disaster waiting to happen. 

 

Agreed.  Belicheck eats up and out fools rookie QB’s, whereas Rivers has seen everything.  Those defensive ends are going to be putting pressure on Brady all day.  Besides, I see the Pats going heavy run against the Ravens.

Either team will beat the pats* but I’m pulling for the Chargers because I’d love to see Rivers make a run.

I sort of agree with this.  Whatever ones feelings on Jackson, Belichick vs. a rookie, whatever, the fact is that the Ravens can flat out run the football.  Both defenses should give Brady trouble.  Kraft and company will need help from the zebras for sure.

I doubt that the refs will help them said nobody ever.

Neither. I think the Pats will win the AFC despite the apparent “struggles” Every fan of every other AFC east team is always ready to throw dirt on the Pats as soon as there is a hair out of place. The funny thing is they always still get there. When will people learn? The reason we all hate them, should be the reason we all know better then it count them out. As long as Brady and Bill are there, I’ll figure they win. They were the only team undefeated at home. Not only are they very good, how many times have we seen it first hand? You are never going to get a call against the Pats in Gillette. They don’t even need the help most of the time, but believe me they are still going to get it. That’s why they never lose at home. The ONLY team that I think COULD beat NE is Indy. But that game would be in NE anyway.

I am pulling for the Chargers, but I believe either team can beat the Pats next week. They both have fronts that can get after the QB. If you pressure Brady then the Pats are nothing more than an average team.

Pulling for Phillip - as others said I think Jackson will be exposed and Phillip is a vet who's seen it all and who's time perhaps has come.   Biggest thing is no injuries so whatever team does win comes out of it at full strength.

I can't see Baltimore beating the Pats*** even with their stellar defense.  You don't think Belichick can stymie a run-oriented offense behind an erratic rookie QB?

 

Bolts need to win this game today.

I think the Ravens have a better shot to beat NE. If LA wins do they stay on the east coast for the week? The danger in the Chargers win is the travel, time zone and temperature changes. Historically, West coast teams don't do as well when playing on the East Coast. If the Chargers can rise to the. occasion and win on the road, they should stay on the East coast to prepare. 4 trips in two weeks is a bit much. Either way, the last thing I want to see is a sluggish Chargers team come out flat and lose and the Colts go into KC and win giving NE a home championship game. NE MUST LOSE.

Chargers need to win, Lamar Jackson is nothing more then a gimmick. 

People say this, and then forget that the NFL is a constantly evolving game. Who is to say that the next evolution is not going to be strong defensive play and a run heavy game? Wouldn’t that “gimmick” fit perfectly into that style of play? Also, Lamar has thrown the ball about 25 times a game. Including a beauty of a throw for a long TD to lead a comeback just a few weeks back.

I think Lamar has staying power if he puts in the work.  I think his potential as a passer is higher than Vic or McNabb.  I dont think it is as high as Allens or Rodgers or Moon but he has the potential to become a very good mobile passer.  He remonds me of Cunningham I think the Ravens are hoping he puts it all together faster than he did though.
