Now I know how Chargers fans must have felt like last weekend.
 

I am still in shock.

I'll admit, I was worried all week leading up to the game on how well the Patriots would match up with the Colts. I wasn't sure if our defense would be able to handle Manning/Harrison/Wayne.

Everything was going SOOOOOO perfectly. We were up 21-3, and we looked pretty damn good while building that lead too. Samuel and Hobbs were looking great, and that pick returned for a TD would give Manning something to think about.

We were up 21-3, and we were being coached by Belichick and being led by wonderboy Tom Brady. Brady is 12-1 in postseason and 10-0 in the dome. As much as I kept telling myself that the high-powered Colts could come back, I still didn't think it would happen to us. We are too good for that.

I still sit here writing to you in complete disbeilef that the Patriots lost this game. The fact that they did so by giving up 32 points in the second half is just sickening. It's flat out embarrassing. It should never have even been a close game. The fact that we lost a game in which we never trailed in the first 59 minutes is very disheartening. I suppose that's how the Chargers felt last weekend. They were very confident, and their team had been leading for most of the game (Pats had an early 3-0 lead), and let it slip in the final minute.


I hate this. This is a lonely feeling right now. My football season feels incomplete. I really can't believe that we got hit with the double whammy....not only did we get eliminated from the playoffs, but at the expense of arch rival Peyton Manning.

This is going to be a long offseason. I really thought they were going to do it again, and by that I mean go to the Super Bowl and win it. Heading into the playoffs I honestly didn't think they were going to win it all, but I thought they would be able to build off of that Chargers win. Through thirty minutes of today's game, they showed they could still play like champions. Unfortunatley, the clock struck twelve on the Pats when the second half started.

This sucks. I can't watch sportscenter or anyother news program. I can't take the sight of seeing my Pats be the vicitims of one of the worst playoff collapses of all time.+

you know how chargers fan felt? not even close!!
the Pats were on the road, they didn't have the same talent those two teams had, they were injured, they were the 4th seed..and they came so freakin' close of going to the SB...
actually..what the Pats did with all that happened this season is a freakin' miracle!1

I told you it was a bad omen to stomp all over the Chargers' logo after our win last week. Not smart to get too excited, which is what some guys did. The time to get "too" excited is AFTER winning the SB.

good point

Re: Now I know how Chargers fans must have felt like last weekend.
 

Hobbs played a pretty good game if you ask me...

isn't he the main culprit????

Anyways... that has no bearing on why the Pats lost the game.

But, here's to a LONG offseason.

Better do something positive in the mean while.

It'll do you good in the long term.

karma is a biatch. Maybe Charger fans and players got ****y and it slapped them off their pedestal, now the pats get knocked out after one upping the chargers with their poor sportsmanship. When Reggie Bush went into his summersault and dance routine when his team was losing mind you, I knew, as the TMQB writes, the football gods chortled. Saints didn't score another point. Karmas has a funny way of biting you in the ass. I know how you guys feel, but at least you've got the rings so most fans don't feel too bad for you guys. That was one hell of a game. I had a hard time even watching it cause of the letdown depression of last week.

Yep. Right on, bro.

I guess when Brady goes off on the Colts and their coach we'll be on equal footing - oh that's right, he won't.

Re: Now I know how Chargers fans must have felt like last weekend.
 

Oh, that's right, Belichick was gracious when he sought out Manning after the game (not) and that 26 second post game interview was really gracious too.

I didn't watch the post game stuff. But even without watching it I know the face of our team won't call the other team, including the coach, classless.
