I have no reason to expect the offense to score early this game. I\'m with Vulture and RDOX.

Chargers 38
Saints 24

10-0 Bolts after the first quarter and LT gets 120 yards

Here\'s to being wrong!

You know, Brees is getting way too much love from all the pundits.
It usually results in a player let-down.

I\'m gonna go out on a limb and predict an upset. Our pass rush is pretty solid and McKenzie brings an attitude to the defense I haven\'t seen in quite some time.

Saints - 30
Chargers - 27

your not getting passed our o line, your going to have to figure out a new way to get to him, mckenzie will have problems just keeping mccardell in front of him and with gates, parker, and LT sometimes lining up as a slot receiver your going to need four more kckenzies, plus even t. dwight is catching TD\'s! the sky is falling

Chili Willie, just a question. Why is it you decided to join a Saints forum and start blasting off about how the Chargers will own them this week? I have not seen one aspect of the game where you have said the Saints are better than the Chargers and there are many. I have 2 thoughts on your emergence: A) You are one of those bandwagon chargers fans who hasn\'t been seen since 1995 and now that they enjoy a little success you go to every forum of the opposing team they will play each week and talk crap, or B) You are really one of our bretheren trying to rally us by getting us to focus on a common enemy. If it is A, I really feel sorry for you cause that is pathetic. If it is B, I applaud your effort, but win or lose we are all still Saints fans. That\'s not gonna change or we would not be here every day offering ideas on how we could be better.

Either way, your downgrading of our team at every turn would be better served on a Chargers board. I believe the Saints have a small margin of error in beating the Chargers and they could pull it off, but I am HOPING they blow them out so we don\'t have to hear this rambling any more.

chileanbolt-
You are overrating your O-line, McCardell, and Parker (although I really, really like this kid), and underrating McKenzie.
locals-
This is merely friendly competitive banter between two teams\' fans. Let\'s not blow this out of proportion.

Lets face it -- there are some very valid reasons to be down on the Saints. The biggest reason is because with all of their talent (on both sides of the ball) you have to wonder why we play so badly all of the time. That said -- I actually think we will beat SD this week -- but only if we score first. We have been slow starters and need to be fast out of the gate and put the pressure on them to keep up. Otherwise we will get a heavy does of LT and play action passing

saintswhodi when you figure out what a real fan is down there you will realize why people bash on other sites, you\'ll learn i hope. The whole bandwagon thing that was cute and a nice try, been a fan since I was 5 and thats why im here. Look at other real fans and you can see everywhere that people go on other forums and bash its all in fun. Go to the oakland, denver, or KC sites and ours and you will see we all do it, some more violent than others but thats how it goes, ur team is good, ur offense looks good on paper and when it works it works, on defense mckenzie was a good pick up, but u need more on that side of the team which an offseason can take care of. But please man come up with something better than saying i\'m a bandwagon, im an SD native live and breathe the team. Bandwagon fans dont live here as u can see by our attendance....

black and blue is right, its all in fun, not trying to switch you to any other team, that would be just plain stupid and i really hope you guys dont have to root for the LA saints

Chilean Bolt - that\'s a white fish no? Kin to the Chilean Sea Bass right? I think I tried it once - tasted too fishy.

Chilean,

I have no problem with fans getting in each others grills. Doesn\'t make me more or less of a fan if I don\'t. And I am a moderator on another forum which is for football fans of all teams so I see enough going on in our AFC West folder to know how it goes. I have no problem with that. But when someone on here mentions what we could do to win, you immediately go into no way your linebackers will stop Gates and no way McKenzie can hang with McCardell and so on. When I called you on it now McKenzie is a good pick-up.

Also in mentioning bashing, I see you mentioned Kansas City, Denver, and Oakland as the ones you do it most with. Guess what? They are division rivals of yours. If you were a Falcons Fan, I could see it. But since you are a Chargers fan who the Saints play once a decade, pardon me if I am a little puzzled as to why you are here to put down our team. Will we see you after this week? Do you secretly love our Saints and wanna become a fan? I don\'t know what the reason is and suspect I won\'t have to worry about it in about 3 days. The Chargers are an offseason removed from being the laughing stock of the league, let\'s not forget that. You still have a $40 million dollar back-up as qb who has as many questions as Ryan Leaf. Let\'s hope for a good game with no injuries. If you are here to bash just come out and say it, and that way at least I will know how to respond to you.

BNB,

I understand what you are saying. Sorry if I got myself into a tizzy.

No biggie, I\'ve spent the past two hours trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me
