Remember the big penalty issue, and us losing 3 tds.

Things to note, no Tomilinson, and we have 2 dbs back, and I think hampton was hurt last game also. Soooo..

That's why I'm not scared. Penalties absolutely killed us in that game.

I don't think we'll see a repeat of all those penalties.

Agreed. Also, the weather.

We win big.

Chargers played bums to finish out the season and they have INDY's number.

The Chargers are a good football team, but the Steelers at home w/ rest will be great.

I hope we F them up. Rivers is one of my least favorite players in the league. I can't wait.

I am not one to believe much in conspiracies, but if we end up with a similar penalty ratio as the last game this could really start to make me wonder about fairness in the officiating in the NFL. Were we really that sloppy or was there a lot of questionable calls. Without looking it up, I seem to recall a number of pre-snap penalties last time. Maybe the crowd noise was a factor then, but should work in our favor now.

It was a home game for us.

One of the biggest penalties was a questionable PI that gave the Chargers the ball at the 3 yard line. LT scored on the next play.

Also remember the ending to that game. Troy should have had a defensive TD.

And one of their two penalties was the bogus illegal forward pass which took our TD off the board at the end. :roll:

I'm not usually one to complain about officiating, but I'd said after that game that it was possibly the worst job of one sided officiating that I'd ever seen.
