This is pretty neat actually, I didn't know the patriots used to be in Boston.

Yep the Vikes sure did take the division by storm last season 10-6 and barely beating the Giants second team in the last game of the season.

This is pretty neat actually, I didn't know the patriots used to be in Boston.

yeah, they were called the "Boston Patriots" back then.  Made it to the Championship and then got THROTTLED by the Chargers team and their HC Sid Gilman.  Matter of fact....check out this video footage of clip I found of the 1963 AFL Championship game (check out all the Gals in the stadium and the thick rim glasses just about everyone was wearing).  After that game word has it that Sid Gilman wanted an AFL-NFL showdown between both 1963 Conference Champions.  You know who those two teams were?  Chicago Bears 11-1-2 vs San Diego Chargers 11-3.   I put both 1963 teams in the "WhatIf SimMatchup" and in every single category the Bears lost BIG TIME and were overmatched in every single facet of the game. 

Seeing were are celebrating the days before the merger this year its funny to look back and see how those early teams fared. 

You know that the donkey's team was one of the worst franchises out of the gate?  they were horrid!
Even had a sock burning event once and then they continued going up in flames year in and year out without ever making it to the post season for 17 straight years. 

If I were a donkey fan I would HATE the fact the all eyes are going to be on the pre-merger days and donkeys had NOTHING to celebrate whatsoever but getting throttled.

I love all this "Vikings are going to take the division, packers are going to take the division" stuff. Didn't Miami pretty much shock the world last year. Who knows maybe Detroit wins the Division (prob not) but who knows. Let's just let the season tell us who's going to win it. K?

You are a joke.  I assume you know that the Broncos have won 2 Super Bowls.  The Chargers have never won anything ever.  Now you are dogging the Broncos because they were not very good before the merger?  I'm sure Bronco fans are wearing paper bags over their heads, because they had some bad teams before the merger.  Those 2 Super Bowls they have won don't mean anything.

Your Chargers are the joke.  All that talent and they have never won anything.

We need a Bronco fan here to laugh at you.  You are a pathetic clown.

Congrats on your economics degree.  What university was that?

Have you reported me yet?

Who really cares how many rings the Bolts team has or doesn't have?  Obviously you Bears fans are infatuated with the Chargers. 

Whats more relevant, strong teams that have a viable shot at the world championship this year, or teams with ancient now tarnished ring(s) that have no shot in hell?

Tarnished rings are better than no rings at all.  The Chargers have won nothing in their history.

You say we are obsessed with the Chargers.  Once again, you show how incredibly stupid you are.  Please feel free to report me for that.

What board is this?  Chargers or Bears?  Are there any Bears fans on the Chargers forum, causing problems?

You are the one who is obsessed.  You are the bitter one, because your team sucks, has always sucked, and always will suck.  That is why you come here and make insulting remarks about the Bears and Broncos, two teams that are far more successful than the choking Chargers.

Have fun watching Phillip "Cry me a" Rivers choke away your season again this year.

Report me.

Edit:  Oh, how could I forget to congratulate you Bearhunter?  Congrats on the economics degree you earned yesterday.  What university was that?  Oh right, you don't want to say.  Security issue, right?
