San Diego Chargers

Just some quick thoughts

Pro: coming off an outstanding season
Con: The only playoff team they beat were the Broncos, and, well they're the Broncos
Pro: Tomlinson is good enough to win a game by himself.
Con: Schottenheimer's nervous coaching can lose any game (his coaching against the Colts was dreadful).
Pro: Drew Brees and Antonio Gates had good seasons (correction: Gates had an unbelievable season)
Con: This will be Brees's first playoff game, so we don't know how he'll handle the situation.
Pro: Flutie could enter the game and recreate his hail mary in honor of its 20th anniversary.
Pro: They're playing the Jets
Con: They're in the AFC, so they'll eventually see some competition

Closing Thoughts:
I didn't see much of the Chargers this year, so maybe someone else can add more insight. The Chargers are a wonderful story, but they should dedicate this story to all of their weak opponents. The Chargers did hold their own against the Colts, but, then again, they did lose that game. To end with a positive note, San Diego has beautiful weather and Anchorman was a surprisingly good movie.
