I feel pretty good about the Broncos' chances tomorrow. Having said that, however, there are two things that concern me: 1) The Chargers have played us tough for years now, and 2) Philip Rivers can get hot and put the ball on a dime, and seems to do that against us and in big games.
Getting pressure on Rivers is going to be the biggest key to winning this game, IMO. If he gets sacked at least twice and feels the pressure throughout the game, I don't think the Chargers have much of a chance. That's a big if though.
Offensively, we have shown that we can run the ball, and of course we know we can pass the ball. It seems to me that the best approach to this game will be to take what the defense gives us. If we run to open up the pass, or pass to open up the run, it will be fine either way. I'm not too worried about trying to get the passing game rejuvenated. It will come if teams stack the box against the run. Fortunately, we have perhaps the greatest QB of all time at audibling, so hopefully Manning will be able to get us into the best position to run successful plays.
As a resident of San Diego, I will say that the Charger fans I have been around aren't doing a whole lot of chirping lately. That would be sure to change if the Chargers were to win tomorrow though, lol.
