hit pause for about 10 seconds and then it should be fine.

This is my favorite sports day of the entire year. Anybody else feel that way?

Does anyone actually watch these painfully melodramatic introductions?
I keep it on MUTE until I see the kickoff.

Gostkowski's range
Kicker Stephen Gostkowski just completed his pre-game warmups and the issue will be going to the open end of the stadium (lighthouse side).
Gostkowski cut the warmup short at 43 yards, which is something to keep in mind regarding the field position game today. The ball seemed to carry right to left when kicked to that side.
Gostkowski's warmup included 50-yard kicks to the closed end of the stadium, and he made them.
Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding had a difficult warmup.

Game Time....
I'm rooting for the SuperChargers but @ Foxboro in the cold with your star players beat up against Brady & Randy. I could def. see Maroney having a good day with the rock.
Brain tells me -
Patriots - 27
Chargers - 23

Just from public perception, if SD can keep it within a touchdown it would be a pretty major upset. If the Pats lose it will be considered one of the bigger upsets in the history of football. So no pressure.

Well that was an imaginative opening drive by Norv Turner.
Run up the gut.
Same lame play.
Shotgun pass for nothing.
PUNT.

I disagree about keeping it close would be a victory...this is the team that took out the Colts! They set the bar last week!Just from public perception, if SD can keep it within a touchdown it would be a pretty major upset.

Pats 3 and out? I just saw a pig fly by my window.

Yeah, with a banged up QB and windy weather, it would have been more smart to come out throwing the ball all over the place.

Too bad the Chargers are playing against the Pats...I would cheer for them to see that.

Well, Brady is already out of rythym. The Bolts have got to score early to have a chance.

Did they say LT and Turner are alternating series?
Gnat Berries

No, they said he's out for this series because the injury is flaring up.Nothing about later though.

I thought that is what they said...also Gates is on the sideline.

Me too. Except during college BB season, where, as a UNC fan, underdogs annoy me.

Are they driving towards the open or closed end?

Tomlinson does not look himself. He looked way too eager to get out of bounds on that screen pass, as opposed to cutting it back for a few more yards, which is what he would normally do.
Balco

If LT is hurting, keep him out of the game okeep him out. on pass blocks who have to attack the rusher and plant hard. LT did neither. There is no such thing as a decoy blocker. Still Bolts need to continue to play conservative on O this quarter while they are throwing against the wind.

These Patriots do not look like The Patriots.
I'm surprised the Patriots punted there.

Wow...2 drives and no points for the Pats. Chargers have wihstood that initial onslaught of the Pats so far...they really need to figure out a way to start manufacturing some points. Still going to need to 30 points likely in order to win today.
Diamond One

Two NE punts right off the bat? How many times has that happened this season??
Ghost Rider
Footballguy
Why? If they are getting pressure with 4, that means one more guy can stay in pass coverage. If you rush 5 and the Pats block it, Brady WILL find the open receiver.
Balco

I think the most overrated part of this Patriots team is their offensive line. I remember someone said in a previous thread that they are the best pass blocking line of all time. Not even close. The fact Matt Lyght was named All Pro was mind boggling to me. So many teams are scared of the Pats passing offense (and rightfully so), they play dime defenses and rush 3-4 players. They need to blitz. Looks like San Diego is listening.
Ministry of Pain
Footballguy
Yes they do and I point to 2 plays on the last drive. Welker caught a 5 yard pass and turned it into 12 yards..exactly what they needed for a first down and Ben Watson caught a ball that would have driven many to go out after 4 or 5 yeards, instead he keeps his feet inbounds and catches the Chargers off gard and turns it into another 3-4 yards to set up a 3rd and 2.

Big momentum for SD to get a couple of early stops. I know the Pats O hasn't been the same from December on, or so, as it was early on, but if they got running down hill early with a couple of early scores, you could see this one being ugly.
Big ups to SD either way for playing quite corageously today while taking on water with all these injuries. As much as I'd love to see the Pats lose, I think I'd feel good for them getting a win much more I think. Norv deseves a lot of the crap he gets, but nice to see him proving a lot of us wrong.
