PATRIOTS VS CHARGERS - What to expect ? DEC 5,2014..

PATRIOTS VS CHARGERS - WHAT TO EXPECT ? DEC 5,2014..
  True Champion vs True Challenger, both teams have histories, One has been the most consistent winner and a model of great coaching , and players playing their best and knowing their roles, The Chargers are the ultimate challenger , always playing well, explosive offenses and many times being a spoiler , but haven't reach their ultimate goal?? A SUPER BOWL WIN. , the Air Coryell days, Bobby"THE BOSS"  Ross , The MartyBALL  years , Nervous Norv and now the real Mccoy.. 
 Its time for the San Diego Chargers to put up or shut up? , Its time to make a statement! The Patriots have been so great and or good for so many years. BUT... They had their time,,, Tom Brady is 37 years old and their defense has issues, Revis is good but not great and if you run crossing routes or of hes forced to tackle strong running backs.. That secondary gets worn out. ala losing to the dolphins and chiefs. The patriots learned from that, they decided, to have a more ball control offense and get a running game to slow the game down.( IN OTHER WORDS THEIR BEST DEFENSE IS THEIR OFFENSE!!)  Lets face it Brady doesn't throw long balls anymore ,he;s more of a short and middle passing game to gronk and Bell, and of course he uses everyone in the mix, but if you get Brady off his mark,, pressure will beat Brady , not sacks,, Brady at this stage Of his career doesn't want to take hits, because another injury could be the last one.. Time is running on Brady,, and he knows it.. That's why he had the cursing episode last week,, But that's what a winner does,, he gets angry about losing,, sore loser. of course.. he has great standards and expectations himself and his team.. Their team is primed for another Superbowl run.. Its now or never?!?
  What the patriots Will attempt to do? They will attack the center of the chargers, (challenge him to see how much of the play book he actually knows.??) challenge him and make him fight all night long. They will attempt to take him out ,, they will also put pressure on the star wide outs in gates, allen, floyd and royal.. They will play close and bump and run.. It might be risky (long ball ), but they want the receivers to earn every catch, no free release, especially if rivers has time to throw.. They will run the ball and they will test butler and weddle. if they can handle the Gronk.. This wont be a easy game but expect the patriots to attack the weak points of the chargers which is running the ball , and covering big tight ends.. Mathews and Oliver have fresh legs and havent had heay loads the ast two games, expect a bigger load this week , just to slow the game down and control the clock.. The key is who has the ball the longest and who makes the best use of the time,, TDS over field goals.. Its no use to have the ball 45 minutes  if you dont score tds,,, Brady is a master of scoring beforre the half and of course at the end of the games .. Charger teams and fans know that all to well,,,,,!?!?
 But the ultimate test is how both teams adjust during the game,, that's the key how each team handles each other blitz coverages , how they handle pressure on 3rd downs .. and how they handle what the defense gives them.. Patience and sticking to ones game plan,, mental toughness will win this game and of course being smart!!!This will be a battle of field position and who makes the least mental mistakes,, Turnovers could be the difference, the last 5 times they have met turnovers has played a key and that why the chargers ar3 0-5. Its really a test of whose the true champion and who is the contender.. I know its only another game, but its  a game with one the games best coach , leagues best qb in the clutch and a mindset that is arrogant and proud. The Patriots not only think they can beat you , they make you feel like that too. The key Sunday night is have those young guns for the chargers, mathews, allen , royal and oliver, show their grit and desire and ensure their vets like gates and floyd, weddle,flowers .. stay focused and have that desire to overcome all those years of losing to the patriots. Its no doubt the chargers have the talent and skill, now ts the time to break out and finally declare themselves as true championship material.. The chargers beat the champs earlier this year in the seahawks , and the ravens are no push overs either, now its time to beat the patriots at home( PROTECT THE HOUSE !!) and finally break through the invisible line that separates you from contender and champion. I know the Chargers have champion hearts, now they must show they have a champion mindset and vision. The old saying ,in order to be champ , you have to beat the champ.. is ever so evident in this game.. Coach B, knows this is important game to win , to set them up for the rest of the year. The Patriots normally  don't lose two in  a row and normally don't get beat with their own formula..But the Chargers will surely adapt those strategies in beating the patriots ,but the bottom line is the big uglies on the offense and defensive lines.. Who ever has the dominating day ?, controlling that line?, is the team that will prevail. Its gonna be a battle of wits and skills and who holds up under the lights. 
For Brady and rivers they both know the clock is ticking on their legacy, Brady has established reputation as winner( 3 rings!) and clutch player. Rivers is in his Prime and wants that title.. If not now,, when? The clock is ticking and because of that , this Sunday match up may be one of the best games of the year and could decide who is ready to make that final run? ! Something has to give, Brady's or River's unreal December and January win records will be on the line .. Plus the final mental edge for the playoffs,,, A loss by either team at this stage , will deflate their pride and ego's and also put pressure on both their seeding placement. But a win, can direct one team in the final right direction for that playoff run. Like last weeks game between the patriots and packers was SUPERBOWL PREVIEW,, SUNDAYS game could be a preview of the AFC championship game... I know its only one game, but its  a game against legacy. against trends, against mindsets. The winner in my view is set to represent the AFC AND truly have  a shot a SUPERBOWL WIN.. The loser Will still remain in the playoff race , but they will have a tougher hill to climb.. Its a true match up of Champion vs Contender.. The NFL poster boys vs the nfl doormats. Brady the ultimate player vs. Rivers the ultimate underdog.. Sure its only a game,, but in the big picture scenario.. This is a separating or defining of a team of destiny and the that's the way both these teams will fight and decide who is ready to fight for the Lombardi trophy during the most unpredictable year ever in the NFL.. Based on that , the football Gods may be smiling on the most unpredictable, most snake bitten , cursed team in NFL history , in the chargers, who else is worthy of winning the big game? , if there is a year this it it.. Every week it seems one team loses when you don't expect it and one team wins one that should of lost and some teams just bewilders us all year long.. 
  I expect a tough , high scoring game with both teams making alot of plays, the final point or turning point will be who makes the least mistakes and who does better in the red zones.. Expect both teams to give one another their best and expect a Sunday night thriller. But remember football is a mental and psychological game, the chargers have nothing to lose , I mean they have been losing most of their history,, But the Patriots have alot to lose.. home field advantage, the image and perceptions of the league and perhaps the last hurrah of their qb.. Tom Brady.. NFL = NO FAIR LEAGUE.. as great as he has been, but you cant fight father time and mother nature.. He's a bit slower, weaker and less patient with what he wants.. he wants a another shot at A SUPERBOWL..and because of that this Sunday will be a true display of all he has and a loss will deflate him faster than old football, But a win,, will propel them to that ultimate goal,, THE SUPERBOWL... I expect a war and the NFL fans are in for a treat , Are you ready ? I know the patriots and chargers fans are eager to see what their teams are capable of and by all indicators, we have a great match up of two very good teams ready to make the next step up? THE stats , the legacies and the images of the patriots is almost a slam dunk win for them,, But that's why they play the games, because some things cant be measured like , heart , desire , and mental toughness and togetherness. Come Sunday night , THE NFL = THE NO FIGURE LEAGUE could very well see the PREVIEW OF THE NEXT SUPERBOWL CHAMPION !
