Patriots vs Chargers

Lyflines has a very interesting "sabermetric" look at this Sunday's matchup between New England and San Diego.

Meanwhile the Cold, Hard Football Facts looks at Marty Schottenheimer's playoff record and makes the case that it may be bad luck and not bad coaching. (Although to be honest - I kept hearing the Branch Rickey quote, "Luck is the residue of design" when I read that piece.)

Both well worth the read.
