A Disappointing Finish
So the Chargers' season ends with an early postseason defeat to the Patriots, a savvier and smarter if inferior NFL team. How many stupid penalties, questionable coaching decisions, incidents of poor judgment by Philip Rivers, and dropped passes did we see yesterday? The Chargers did all they could to give the game to the Patriots, and in the end New England finally decided to take it.
One consolation: this might cost Marty Schottenheimer his job.
So it's another Patriots/Colts matchup on Sunday, becoming the 2000s version of the Niners and Cowboys. I'm not sure who to root for. I like Brady and the Pats, but haven't they won enough already? In the NFC, it's an easy choice: go Saints!
Can't we fast-forward the NFL draft to the day after the Super Bowl?
