It pains me, and I mean it really pains me, to admit this.
The San Diego Chargers, not the New England Patriots, are the team to beat in the AFC right now.
I’ve already gone on record saying that the Chargers would have beaten the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game had they not suffered a ridiculous rash of injuries to their key offensive players.
They were the better team by the end of January, partly because the Patriots were completely spent by their quest for an undefeated season.
But they were also a pretty darn good team.
Yes—it’s hard to get past everyone’s favorite head coach, Norv Turner.
But he at least proved to be more competent than Wade Phillips last year (now that was a backhanded compliment). And frankly, he overcame an extremely tough situation last season to take that team further than his predecessor (whom the fans were not shy about wanting back) ever did.
I’ll give Norv the benefit of the doubt. He’s good enough, or smart enough, not to get in the way of what I think is going to be a juggernaut.
