Putting big bags of ice next to the LA bench instead of a heater - more Belichick unfair tactics 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

LOL at 24 looking around like it was someone else’s fault. Can’t understand how often NFL players do things you wouldn’t in peewee football - like #13 is their best player, make sure you cover him 

He bit on a double move.  He got toasted, but it's not like he made a concsious decision to not cover Allen.

 

[Man In The Box]

Great tackle by 33 there

 

[Buffaloes]

Charger d looks soft and confused

 

[JaxBill]

Surprised that Chargers defense getting gashed so easily.

 

[Ack88]

Chargers and Cowboys are the two least clutch teams in the NFL. Always lose in the big spot. Always.

 

[Buffaloes]

Should the chargers move to tijuana and would anyone notice? 

They probably have a bigger soccer stadium there and could bring an international flavor to laying an egg in the playoffs. 

 

[Hov34]

Too cold, Chargers don't want to be here.

 

[lod001]

Now its over.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Chargers need to get out of the 7 DB look or the run is going to only get worse. 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Surprised that Chargers defense getting gashed so easily.

Just shows how far ahead of everyone Belichick is.  The Patriots D has been shaky this year, yet they are getting pressure on Rivers.  Meanwhile, the Chargers D is loaded, yet can't sniff Brady.  That is coaching. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Too cold, Chargers don't want to be here.

It's also 10:45am for them.

 

[The_Man]

Second straight cross country trip for a 1 pm start. Chargers running into a rested team with a real NFL offense this week 

 

[Bigboy10182000]

It's also 10:45am for them.

It was 10:45 for them yesterday. Not today. 

 

[lod001]

Just shows how far head of everyone Belichick is.  The Patriots D has been shaky this year, yet they are getting pressure on Rivers.  Meanwhile, the Chargers D is loaded, yet can't sniff Brady.  That is coaching. 

and dumb coaching. if you can't play man to man vs NE and jam them at the line, you may as well not even show up for the game.

Tomlin has made a career out of losing to NE like that.

 

[JaxBill]

@NFLosophy: Welp. Pats didn’t wait. They adjusted immediately by bringing more pressure than typical. Full on cover zero and twists up front.

 

[Buffaloes]

Thrid drive and Bradley has done nothing to adjust. Amazing ineptitude shown by the sd defense so far

 

[Wingnut]

Yep, shark takes...

We'll see

 

[JaxBill]

It's also 10:45am for them.

Didn't bother them.in Baltimore

 

[tombonneau]

Didn't bother them.in Baltimore

Time zone changes only matter when you lose. 

 

[kyoun1e]

Yup, Brady is done. Lol.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What's the probem with 10:45am anyway?  It's not like it's particularly early.  I mean runners are starting their day at 5am typically.

 

[lod001]

Its painful watching such stupidity year after year. How can these idiots not go look at PITT get destroyed year after year and not figure out the obvious.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

That’s a wrap. Christ can we get one competitive game this weekend?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Yup, Brady is done. Lol.

Brady could throw those 5 yard passes to wide open receivers when he's 80.  The Chargers are playing this like they're playing prevent defense with a 3 score lead.

 

[Buffaloes]

Yup, Brady is done. Lol.

He can make a five course meal with the thyme he has in the pocket.

I'm amazed at Bradley's inability to bring a halfway competent game plan to the table.

 

[steeler6]

Tomlin’s D looks like the steel curtain compared to this

 

[Arodin]

I think it's more a matter of:  think about the time you normally get up, start your activities, and go to work.  For most of us, that's pretty much the same every workday.

Now imagine that just this one time, you have to come in and start working 3 hours earlier than usual.  Would you be able to do this seemlessly, and work at your usual efficiency?  Or would your body still be telling you you should be in bed, and the coffee doesn't seem to be working as well as usual?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Pathetic showing by the Chargers defense so far.  Poor Philip Rivers going come up short again. 

 

[fruity pebbles]

Lol Chargers

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Teams coming off of the bye are DOMINATING early in games. 

 

[The_Man]

So if next week is Pats-Chiefs, it will be a QB with 270 career starts vs 17. A difference of 253. Amazing and obviously the biggest ever. I wonder what the next closest championship games are

 

[Ack88]

Pats get 50 today.

man the Chargers are soft, really soft- like a bed full of marshmallows 

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

Teams coming off of the bye are DOMINATING early in games. 

This setting up for us I’m telling. One game will buck the trend

They just did it last week

 

[Buffaloes]

Chris Harris Jr on Twitter just now:

Brady has seen cover 3 to many times. Easy money vs zone all day.

 

[tjnc09]

ESPN goes back to 2003, but Belichick is 10-1 in the postseason after a bye.  Quite impressive over that length of time and all of the personnel changes

 

[Arodin]

They just did it last week

Yes.  Because obviously successfully doing something difficult once means you will never have trouble doing it again.

What was I thinking?

 

[The_Man]

How did the Chargers have plays in for Hayes last week when he wasn’t on the active roster?

 

[Ghost Rider]

NE allowed to hit Rivers hard after the play was blown dead by a delay of game whistle. Typical. 

 

[Thunderlips]

IF that was Brady...there wouldn't be enough flags in the State to  throw.  

 

[Buffaloes]

Aaaand there's the postseason officiating no team in any sport has the luxury of leaning on like the pats. 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Aaaand there's the postseason officiating no team in any sport has the luxury of leaning on like the pats. 

And one Patriot had his helmet in the neutral zone just now on that failed 3rd down conversion.  

 

[The_Man]

Gates is so done. He couldn’t get an inch off the ground to contend for that ball 

 

[Joe Mammy]

Gates is ready for the Silver Sneakers league.

Yeah but at 10:45am on a normal day most teams are like 3 hours into their practice.  It's the later game times 8-10 times a year that are likely out of the ordinary to them compared to their normal day that starts early 150 days a year.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I hope you’re right. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yes.  Because obviously successfully doing something difficult once means you will never have trouble doing it again.

Not sure to be honest

 

[randall146]

Rivers a bit rattled
