Either way, we were going to pick our poison here. Both teams are capable of beating NE at Foxboro and each presented unique challenges for the Pats.
With that said, I'm actually okay facing the Chargers. Remember folks, the Chargers already played the Ravens once in the regular season so they were more familiar with them, which the Pats aren't. And did anyone actually think our O-Line could hold up against that fierce, physical Ravens pass rush? Brady would have been throttled many times. We don't have as much talent all over on offense and the Ravens defense is physical everywhere.
We saw late what BAL's offense was capable of doing, while we also saw why LAC never seems to get much respect (their choking tendencies).
It'll be a tough game, but I like our chances at home in what is likely to be 30 degree weather (today in Baltimore I think it was 50+). Chargers are the most balanced team in the AFC Playoffs, but they aren't that explosive on either side of the ball IMO.
