If I was a Chargers fan, I'd be pretty pissed... - New England Patriots Forums

After all the beatdowns the Patriots have put on the Chargers in big games, this was their chance to get a bit of revenge, only it's totally empty. It'd be like hunting down some guy that killed a member of your family, only when you find him years later, he's now a quadriplegic. Sure, you can beat him within an inch of his life, but so what? He's nothing but a shell of the man who ruined your life. Of course it's no fun to be a Pats fan at the moment either, but we have an excuse at least. San Diego is still a .500 now, no matter how badly this game ends for the Patriots.

I doubt that's how a Charger player, coach, or fan is going to look at it.

The logo on the helmet and coach are still the same.

Tis the truth.

That's kind of a naive take. The players and coaches will be glad to win a game, and the Chargers fans will be glad to win, but it can't be nearly as satisfying without having Brady in there. Are you really going to get that excited about beating a guy with a broken leg in a race? No matter how much you hate the guy, you'd rather beat him at full strength. Like how I feel about Peyton Manning.

We've lost to the Chargers before. What's the big deal?

i stated that when brady got hurt

i wanted to win this game of course, but it is a hollow victory

i can't believe NE couldn't get pressure on rivers tonight, that i just don't get, our oline is susceptible to a good pass rush, what happened to NE's?

They sucked.. your o-line played better.. schemed better and just plain and simply kicked their ass.
Good win

thanks and for the record i am kinda pissed

the chargers don't blitz enough or even go deep as much as they did tonight

i don't know why they don't , but they should more often

i wish we had a DC like jim johnson

They, along with everyone else in the NFL, knows one of our weaknesses, the CB position and lack of pass rush.
