2:00 My Patriots are taking the field for the chance to play in the Super Bowl! Philip Rivers is starting QB for SD. He’s hurt and did not look good in warmups. It’s extremely cold in Foxboro today. The Chargers probably do not like playing in the cold.
2:11 SD 3 and out, NE 3 and out. Pretty boring start.
2:22 I spent the last few minutes checking out pizzahut.com and signing up for an online order. The Pizza Mia commercial got to me. So far I haven’t pulled the trigger. 3 Pizza Mia’s for $15 is a little misleading if you put anything extra on the pizza.
2:24 So far this year when teams play the Patriots well, they seem to fall apart at some point in the 4th quarter. Assuming the Chargers play the game of their lives today, I expect an interception or fumble at the most inopportune time.
2:29 Sack by the former Charger, Junior Seau! This guy is as old as I am. Unbelievable. Coors Light commercials poking fun at coaching press conferences are just hysterical. “They are who we thought they were!”
2:33 Interception thrown by Tom Brady. Yikes! That was ugly. Chargers have good field position on the Pats 21.
2:37 Pats lucky to get away with only 3 points scored. SD 3 NE 0.
2:43 Fantastic reverse by Randy Moss. Made something out of nothing. First down. Another first down with a pass to Faulk. Brady seems to be throwing everything too high today.
2:45 End of first quarter
2:50 Touchdown Patriots! Lawrence Maroney on a short run. 7-3 Patriots! Now we’re talking. So far this just feels like another regular season game.
2:55 Philip Rivers is running like an elderly man but some how making completions.
3:00 A Blu-Ray commercial came on. It’s very discouraging the Blu-Ray is going to win the hi-def battle. I guess I’ll just wait for the price to come down a bit more on the Playstation III.
3:02 Chargers had another 1st and goal and had to settle for a field goal. Pats still up 7-6. Field goals are not going to beat the Patriots.
3:09 Kelly Washington makes an outstanding play on the Pat’s 3rd punt of the game to down it inside the 5. Great little dance afterward too.
3:12 Interception! Asante Samuel! Now I’m starting to feel the adrenaline. Too bad he won’t be back on the team next year. Greedy bastard.
3:14 Two plays later… Touchdown NE! Brady 14 yard pass to Gaffney. NE 14 SD 6
3:19 Another interception! This time by Ellis Hobbs. I knew from the moment the ball left Rivers hand that it would be intercepted. A floating meatball.
3:22 A commercial with Huckabee’s boy-toy, Chuck Norris.
3:34 Chargers settle for their 3rd field goal right at the end of the half.
HALFTIME – NE 14 SD 9
3:56 Patriots sacked and intercepted on the next play.
4:04 Another SD field goal. Pats playing great defense today. Time to get the offense cranked up. NE 14 SD 12
4:14 Maroney is marching down the field run after run.
4:17 Drat!! Pats intercepted in the endzone.
4:27 No damage done. 3 and out for SD. Maroney is running wild again.
4:32 TOUCHDOWN! Brady to Welker. It was only a matter of time. 21-12.
4:47 Rivers is not getting it done. Kevin Faulk made an amazing diving catch on 2nd and 18 to get a first down.
4:55 Maroney is my MVP of this game. He’s rushed for over 100 yards.
4:56 Two minute warning. Pats are methodically running down the clock.
4:59 Brady kneeling down. SD out of time outs. The game is over!!!!
18-0, One to go! We’re going to the SHOW!!!
