I couldn't possibly disagree more.
1) The Chargers were consistently loaded, and Rivers stunk in the playoffs. They lost in the postseason because, despite Rivers' stat-padding during the regular season, he's a choke artist with the game on the line, he stinks when he doesn't have an offensive line of studs, and he doesn't deal very well when he's not in sunny southern California.
2) Eli has thrown 17 TDs, 8 interceptions in 11 postseason games. Rivers has thrown 8 TDs, 9 interceptions in 7 postseason games
what we're seeing now is how Philip Rivers plays behind an offensive line that is about as bad as Eli or Ben's has been. He's a statue. Great fantasy football player. Choke artist when it comes to crunch time. |
Thats very debatable now. lol
No contest, the Giants won the trade. The Chargers completely underperformed when it mattered, they played in a terrible division and always seemed to need a run at the end of the year to get into the PO's.
the only team they had sucess against seemed to be the Colts...

My friends laughed at me when I picked him 5th in our league. I was that sure he would turn things around and that last season was but a fluke. I'm now 2-4-1  . On the plus side, thanks to Rivers and SD's D, I am up 38-0 on my opponent right now... |
