Did the Chargers become their worst enemy? They had the game handed to them and they tossed it away. Now there is talks that Marty will lose his coaching position...but all I can say is he wasnt the one who lost the game. Anyone else think they just gave up? Guess I will route for the Saints now

I think that both teams tried their hardest and the best team may or may not have won. The patriots either got lucky or tried harder because if you watch that Troy Brown strip you'll see what a real football player is. As for the Chargers, they did really give up the game when they got the ball back. Once again Nate Kaeding couldn't deliver and i guess you will just have to wait a little longer. I have a little feeling marty is staying for at least the next year or two, and being a fan of New England teams, it's better to have a team to root against (I.E. Red Sox fans and New York Yankees) than a random team to root for.

Well the problem is: Alot of times teams think that just because they are ahead late in the game; they think its over and they have it wrapped up. In alot of cases that may be true! But not in the playoffs against a very good New England football team! I believe that the Chargers where superior in every catagory except the one that matters most! EXPERIENCE!!! The Patriots have been to the playoffs and won superbowls. How many times have the Chargers made it to the playoffs? How many superbowls have they been to? How many rings do they have? The playoffs is so much different than the regular season! The playoffs will show who is truly a good team and who isn't. Because teams tend to give it all they got in the playoffs. Whereas in the regular season; they may not play as hard.

Absoluetly. The Patriots could not stop LT who had 123 rushing yards, 2 TDs, and 64 yards recieveing. He was averaging over 5 yards per carry but he only got 9 carries in the second half i think. Also, in the first quarter they decide to go for it instead of kicking a 48 yards field goal. Also, why would you challenge that fumble??? That would have allowed them to get in one more play to make the game winner.

they did not just give up. Bellichick did not panic like marty did at the end. Marty wasted two timeouts that ended up hurting him. Brady knows how to win in the 4th quarter. Also the Pats defense was underrated during that game, to hold LT to only 115 yards and two goaline TDs is pretty decent. The chargers just weren't as experienced as the Pats in that situation and in that game. Plain and simple, Billichick and Brady know how to win.

They did not deserve to lose. They should have won that game! But I am glad they lost because it gave the Colts home field advantage over the Pats.
COLTS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

imagine of how a lot your mom has executed for you. (saved you interior her for 9 months, bought you clothing, bought you nutrition, did fantastic issues for you etc. etc.) tell her she will use it presented that she provides to grant it back even as her telephone is totally charged. Take turns using it. only ask her to purchase herself one once plausible or only purchase her one. (you'll thank your self in the lengthy time period) I see the position you're coming from yet letting her use your telephone charger isn't that significant a deal. sturdy success!
