Playoff thoughts 2: New England

So the Chargers drew New England, which is about the toughest team they could have asked for. Baltimore and Indy may be ranked higher but I think the Patriots are more playoff-capable. Gotta feel LT will have a tough day running it. And Belichick will do all he can to confuse Rivers. Cameron has to keep the passing game simple but creative and Gates will have to have a big day. Another receiver is going to have to step up, too. The defense should stop the run but if they cannot, it may be the beginning of the end. Merriman and Phillips have to get consistent pressure on Brady. The backs are what they are. They never seem to do more than they are supposed to.
