Getting ready for the big game
I'm on the plane trying stay calm because I feel like I wanna go rip somebody's head off. I can't think of nothing that I would rather be doing than playing football on Sunday. This will be a fun game. The stage is set - we are the underdogs going into a hostile environment where no one expects us to win except us. Everywhere you turn it's "there is no way the Chargers can do it","they're in over the heads", "they are lucky to even be on the same field as the Colts". That's the kind of stuff that makes the game more fun and exciting. I think the game will come down to defense. It's all about whose D plays the best. We are not expecting to see number 18 throw 6 interceptions again, though it would be great if that could happen again. The fact of the matter is we have to play 60 min of football in order to beat this team and me and the guys are all fired up. The hard part right now is relaxing and bottling up all of our energy so we can let it all out on Sunday. Talk to you guys next week. SP

The Colts Offense is going to have nightmares tinted Charger Blue for a very, very long time.
Get out there and shock the world, baby. Shock the world. San Diego knows you can do it.

I couldn't even begin to imagine what you guys are feeling right now.
Good luck to you and the team on Sunday!

Pressure, pressure, pressure... that's the key to winning the game. Force Manning to make mistakes and choke under pressure... now THAT sounds like the Peyton Manning we all know best!
As far as keeping their defense on the field... if Gates can't play on Sunday, we'll need to run more trick plays in the passing game. They'll focus on containing LT by stacking 8/9 in the box, and Sanders & their DBs will try to double-team Chambers, who is more of a threat in the passing game than VJ. Some quick pitch-outs to LT and play action fakes should keep them guessing. And quit running LT up the middle on every 1st & 2nd down, Norv!! Utilize MT more often in the 2nd half and give him more carries too! We saw what happened the last time we played the Colts in Indy... MT ran over them for 83 yards to seal the deal! Let's try to do it again!
GO BOLTS!!! ZAP THE COLTS!!!

I hope you lay the wood on Peyton and crew. I'm not talking about oak or mahogany, but rather that Red WOOD National Forrest stuff. That's right. I'm talking about some HUGE Sequoia tree wood! Colts can't handle the BOLTS~!

You guys have done it before against a 13-0 Colts team in their house. Don't let the pundits fool you. This Colts team is no better. You can do it again.
Best of luck, Shaun.

Great tipped pass, and way to knock Fletcher's helmet off.

STRATEGY REQUEST:
1. I think you should cover the running back and have Shaun Merriman blitz from the other side, or blitz the middle linebacker between the right tackle and right guard. Then do the opposite if the back moves to the otherside of the shot gun quarterback. New England is weak stoping the blitz in the middle.
2. Play bump-n-run on the receivers and be very physical with Moss. Cromartie and Moss is a good matchup for the Chargers. Have the safety hit Moss everytime the ball goes his direction. A couple 15 yard penalties is worth it. Just don't do it on 3rd and long plays.
3. Run the ball 70 percent of the time and DON'T run at Wilfork and Seymour.
4. Rodney Harrison will start to cheat in the box. Do a lot of play action and rollouts to the tightend, running away from Harrison.
5. The key is to keep the New England defense on the field, because they can be worn down. I'd rather you go for it on 4th and short in the redzone than kick a field-goal. The more plays you run against New England's defense will payoff in the 4th quarter.
6. Your defense needs 3 and outs, so that New England defense can go back on the field.
