The Official Patriots vs Chargers game thread - Week 2

That was a cheap shot dive at the knees, where's the flag?

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

the offense, including brady is still reeling from that hit low

Yeah, the false start right after hurt. Big play.

 

[patchick]

You're allowed to dive into his knees and risk ending his career, but you're not allowed to tackle him by the chest. Does that clear it up?

OK! So these refs have been OUTSTANDING. Carry on.

 

[BendButDontBreak37]

Still nervous about Brady specially with that last throw kinda lobbed it in. Hope its not a sign he cant press on that left leg ughhh

Agreed, I'm wondering if he did get hurt

 

[PatriotFan77]

Isn't there a rule about hitting the QB below the knee?

Fat Ben actually got that call today, and came up limping.

Re: holy....

My heart skipped a beat!

Then had to show my girlfriend why!

 

[randomk1]

Howabout we go low on Rivers now?

 

[DefenseRules]

If it was Manning it would have been a flag.

Maybe. The defense better bury Rivers into the turf on this drive. Friggin cheap shot Chargers. I am so pissed. My heart skipped a beat, now I just want to punch Rivers in the face.

 

[mr3putt]

Based on the replay I would not be surprised that knee is a little tender
Dodged a big bullet
Watch for short arm throws if it's tender

 

[Pats]

nice tackle in the backfield by DMC

 

[DOGWARZ]

jeez i hope brady is ok. i cant go through another 08 type season.

 

[Patspsycho]

Going with a 24 nickel now.

 

[BritPat]

They were never running that there. Come on guys.

 

[thenepatsrule]

[thenepatsrule]

Laboy has a big fine coming to him.

 

[PatsFan24]

Pats D still bending, but not breaking

 

[PatriotFan77]

would be nice to have an int here

Lets go Vince!

 

[BaltimorePatsFan]

The Pats NEED to score on every possession to win...

I would rather win without being cheap shot artists and we have the ability to do that. Let them take the cheap shots. The more you retaliate the more it keeps going back and forth and you only need one to take out the most important player on the team. No thanks.

This isn't baseball where you plunk a guy in the back to make a point. This is football and one cheap shot ends a season.
