CB, I am on your side and a diehard Pats fan.....BUT, the Chargers do have more than just LT. They have one of the best backup RB in the league....Michael Turner. They have the best tight end by far in Antonio Gates (although Watson aint too shabby)......Antonio Cromartie led the league in interceptions. Lorenzo Neal makes many of the holes that LT runs through and is a Pro Bowl fullback. I'd take Shawne Merriman at LB any day as well. In fact they have 8 Pro Bowlers like the Pats.

That being said, LT, Rivers, and Gates are all hurting......plus the Pats are just better and just plain know how to win. Streak continues.....I was impressed with young Eli's drive to end the first half. Nice to see him get the spotlight while big brother has to watch for once. He seemed to turn a corner starting with the Pats game. 8 TD and 1 INT from then on while he had 19/19 before that!
