Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. Did we "run away" from the reigning NFL champs? or any other team...including the Pats? And if by losing the game justifies "running away," you have no concept of the term. The fact is, SD played some very hard fought games this year (Chicago, Indy, at NE, at Jacksonville, at Tennesse, at KC) and have managed to come out 9-5. All this with essentially an entire new coaching staff. That takes heart. How well do you think the Pats would fare next year if suddenly BB was gone, along with both coordinators? You can call players "whiners" or whatever names you guys like to cling to, but to say the team has no heart is ridiculous. Back up your "hollow" statement.
