Welcome to Gillette

FOXBOROUGH -- Welcome to Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots host the Chargers in the AFC Championship Game (3 p.m.).
On our drive into the stadium, it was hard to miss that one of the goal posts on the lower practice field had blown partially over. That was a reminder that the wind will be a factor today.
The current temperature is 24 degrees. According to weather.com, the winds are around 15 miles per hour, with gusting up to about 24 miles per hour. At this time, the orange flags on top of the goal posts inside Gillette Stadium are moving just slightly.
On the field, there are two AFC Championship logos -- in red, white and blue -- that have been painted on both 25-yard lines. There is also a rectangular logo that reads "Playoffs 2007" -- also in red, white and blue -- that extends from 40-yard line to 40-yard line.
Jeff Triplette is scheduled to referee today's game. The alternate referee is Tony Corrente.
We'll plan on passing along updates throughout the day.

ESPN just showed Norv arriving at the stadium. Hope Bob is hospitable and has the heat cranked up in the VLR...
Have to knock Brady on his ass seems to be the game plan theme of the day on ESPN. Many have tried, none have succeeded with any consistency. Have to create turnovers...ditto. Have to run the ball and get LtD the ball in space. I imagine that will be Belichick's take-away plan.

They have Ray Lewis on the ESPN pregame and he's pretty good. Better than Emmitt Smith and many of the other athletes who do these sort of things.

Emmet needs an elocution coach. He's tough to listen to. His mouth and his brain have a disconnect. Far better dancer than commentator.
I really enjoy Keyshawn. Ray can be charming for an accused murderer...
These skits are hilarious. Brady bunch was cute. Naked Favre is hysterical.

Just before kickoff here is my prediction on how it will go.
- blitz, blitz, blitz - SD gets more sacks on Brady then we have seen in one game all year... However, they also give up three big plays (two to Moss)
- Better then most thinks - Pats Def is better then many on this board give them credit for (look at the numbers). Pats get three TOs.
- Not ready - Like the Bulls had to wait for the Celtics and Pistons Dynasty to fade, the Chargers are not ready (maybe in the next few years as they have most of their key people signed long term).
Prediction 38-14 Pats .. Perfection continues

The idea is to see what you can get and them hopefully make the 3rd down play easier. A 2nd down incomplete pass makes it a 3rd and 10.

What a stupid, dumba$$ play-call by Skippy on 1st down. Throwing from the shotgun to your slowest effin receiver? Terrible offensive series.
BradyFTW!
01-20-2008, 02:16 PM
How far in do the Chargers have to get to be in FG range with this wind?

rivers has way too much room in the pocket
MFLetou

Rivers is getting way too much time to throw here. I would think we'd want to get some pressure on him and try to get a hit on the knee.

I saw a chop block on that kick
MFLetou
01-20-2008, 02:19 PM
Brady never made any other reads. It was clearly Brady to Brady. Odd.
Well, lets do better this time. Frankly Pats looked a little overexcited that last series.
Come on offense lets get some points on the board. No more 3 and outs
invasian
01-20-2008, 02:19 PM
let's get a nice sustained drive going here for a TD

Lame first quarter thus far.
PantsB
01-20-2008, 02:20 PM
I'd like to see a first down run just outside the tackle. Passing accuracy is going to be reduced with this wind.

LOL Fetushead is bummed his season is over.

big first down
MFLetou
01-20-2008, 02:22 PM
There we go.
Not to belabor the point, but the first play was obviously a design. He released as soon as he dropped back. There's no way he made other reads, nobody's vision is THAT good.
There we go....
Wildo7
01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
yeah why np PI call? uncatchable i guess

01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
good god the screen is there... 7-8 moving forward on the snap for SD
Sean Pa Patriot
01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
I think we should run from the draw
mgm79
01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
I think its obvious what SD strategy is for defending the pass is today, maul our receivers.
Wildo7
01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
why would Maroney not run outside on that?
Nordy
01-20-2008, 02:23 PM
Run blocking has been bad...
Nordy
01-20-2008, 02:24 PM

Wasn't Maroney's fault at all.

This is going to be a close and ugly game.

Wow. Big lack of confidence in the running game. I would have liked to see a sneak or something there.

Damn it Gaffney was WIDE OPEN on that 3rd down. Just not enough time though.
tajapandu
01-20-2008, 02:25 PM
im not seeing that "nothing to lose" mentality from the chargers that weve seen from every other team weve played
Sean Pa Patriot
01-20-2008, 02:25 PM
bad pass by brady, he had gaffney open as well... I think the o is playing a little tight...
MFLetou
01-20-2008, 02:26 PM
whats wrong with Brady?
Nothing. He had no time.
TealSox
01-20-2008, 02:26 PM
Why does it seem that the Patriots are playing to the level of the Chargers?
PantsB
01-20-2008, 02:26 PM
Missed a clear hold on that punt.
I would have liked a quick to the line play on that third down, but usually if Welker is that open its a first down.
Sean Pa Patriot
01-20-2008, 02:26 PM
I should not blame Brady, the O line is letting the Chargers penetrate too much...
cblesz
01-20-2008, 02:27 PM
Offense is real slow today. maroney is dancing again and the backside DE is tackling him...
Wildo7
01-20-2008, 02:27 PM

yeah that's eefinately true, no early super-aggressive stuff. Playing just like the Jags did, so the Pats will make them pay eventually.
Sean Pa Patriot
01-20-2008, 02:27 PM

3rd and 1 for the Pats, and TB's in the effin empty-backfield shotgun? Effin retarded. Back to the warm-weather, stats-driven foolishness again. Get you heads outta your a$$es.

Chargers defense looks pretty good so far. Hopefully ours will hold down the fort while we figure it out. So far, field position advantage to Chargers.

20 bucks says Brady figures out how to deal with the wind long before Rivers does.
The defense has been great so far. Come on offense get it together.
BradyFTW!
01-20-2008, 02:30 PM
hahaha, Seau got a pretty easy sack there. Rivers ran right into him.

If you told me before the game that this was how things would start, I'd take it. I am confident that our offense will sort itself out before theirs will.

At least the New England Patriots defense has played well so far.

Chargers are disguising the pash rush really well this game. Our only live football game in the last 3 weeks featured a team that only rushed 4 all game, so Brady is probably a bit rusty at recognizing things.
BradyFTW!
