They really gave Brady the time to make the throws. The Pats had almost no rushing today..pretty surprising. They need to get the running game going next week.

[mainepatsfan]

That SD front seven is really, really good. They'll get it going next week.

[mainepatsfan]

ESPN and SI.com have the same headline about the game "Lightning Crashes".

[FDNYRHEROES]

You know Marty and Peyton do get a lot of attention for their post season failings but shouldn't Tony Dungy be on the list as well?

How would Rush answer this question? Uh-huh...think about it...

[FDNYRHEROES]

That SD front seven is really, really good. They'll get it going next week.

Actually, it's a "Bye" week for them...

[mainepatsfan]

I meant the Pats ground game.

[scott says]

I'm still in shock...11 points in the last 6 minutes to pull it out, that crazy INT, strip,fumble..what a crazy game!

[mainepatsfan]

You know Jammer actually did the Pats a favor by just getting enough of Caldwell to force him out of bounds. It allowed the Pats to kill over a minute of clock time.

[misterrob]

The Pats danced on the Chargers field mimicking Merriman's sack dance. Guess he felt the need to be represented.

[FDNYRHEROES]

I meant the Pats ground game

Oh, that SD front seven...OK...Got it...

[mainepatsfan]

Hmm. You know we didn't see him do that dance very often today. I wonder why? /s

[misterrob]

Just didn't seem to go with it today. COuld have used a lot of traps, drams and screens today to go after the Chargers speed.

[scott says]

That was what I was thinking when it happened.There was still over 2 minutes to go. Chargers still had a minute to go down the field. The stupid challenge of the pick was really costly...a lost TO and the Chargers might have had a better shot at the end if they had that TO to use.

[FDNYRHEROES]

I think it's only us Pats Fans on here right now...I bet everyone else is gone...All I'm hearing in crickets in the rest of NFL country...

[warsaw44]

Hooray!
I suspect nothing will stop the Patriots now. Go Pats!

[Leto]

Well the Charger players have a lot of time for their stars to get ready for the pro bowl while the talentless Patriots play this week.

[mainepatsfan]

I just heard on the radio that Rivers came running up to Marty on the sideline begging him to challenge that play.

Get this stat....this is the first time ever that the #1 or #2 seed will not play in the AFC title game.

[mainepatsfan]

Get ready for a week of hearing about how the Colts defense has suddenly become the second coming of the 1985 Bears.

[misterrob]

I don't like our chances next week since we do not match up well vs the Colts this year in the secondary. I would love to see us win but we don't have the DBs who can cover and our LBs just don't have the speed to get up field. I am hoping that the Pats will go with a 4-2-5 or 4-1-6 formation next week to get some rush while slowing down the passing game. I also hope that they will run the damned ball against Indy. With Branch and Givens they could play a shoot out but I am less trusting of Caldwell, Gaffney and Stone Hands Watson.

[mainepatsfan]

LOL!!! I don't know how many Charger fans I heard on the radio this week mock the Pats because they didn't have nearly the number of pro bowlers as they did. Well the Pats only care about another NFL bowl game...the one played just before the Pro Bowl.
