I want to start by saying I thought the Pats played a great game today. With that said, I can not believe the number of gaffes the Chargers made in play calling and / or stupid mistakes.

Which was was the worst

1. Calling a challenge on the interception fumble

2. Going for it on 4th and 11 in the first quarter

3. Head butting Daniel Graham

4. The unsportsman like conduct penalty on the PAT that put the Bolts up 21 - 13.

5. Vincent Jackson not getting his toe inbounds on the almost TD pass

6. Not running LT more in the 4th quarter when the Pats could not stop him

I think the idea of playing the Pats just psyched them out

The fumbled INT. First off, picking the ball off cost SD yardage when a drop would have gotten them 10 yards further up the field...AND WITH POSSESSION. That was the mental error - the fumble was just a great play by Brown.

Midway or so through the 4th, when the Chargers were up 21-13, and we went for it on the 4th down. Instead of just knocking the ball down and getting possesion further upfield, the Chargers DB picked it off and then fumbled, giving the Pats the ball back on the Chargers' 32.

I would also say the TD the Pats scored before half weighed HEAVILY on the psyche of the Chargers'. I think that took a lot of air out of them. If they go into the locker room up 14-3, it could be a different game. That was a major momentum changer.

These two plays stick out more than any others, if you ask me.

So hard to choose, so many choices...but I'd have to go with intercepting the ball on 4th down rather than just batting it down.

The Challenge of the fumble....Don't you think Marty will go to sleep tonight wishing he had one more time out as they were trying to tie the game

Marty's challenge of the interception fumble. The others were split second decisions. Marty had time to see that play was clearly a fumble. Its cost his team a timeout which was critical in their last drive.

Its probably why Marty ****-in-pantser will be fired.

I agree. That was the worst call because it made no sense. Even the announcers said they had no idea what he was challenging,and in the end that game was so close a TO would have come in handy. It's tough to choose just one though. Coaching is everything in the playoffs even when your team is full of MVP's and All-Pros.

2,3, and 6.

I'd say that their DB fumbling would be the biggest gift for us. But that was more of a good play by Brown.
