SD at NE Second Half

15:00

…No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can. No, I can’t. Yes, I can.

14: 46

A drive and score here can really put SD in a bind.

13:26

INTERCEPTION! SD with the pick and all of a sudden SD can take the lead!

12: 34

Rivers is still alive. How?

10:12

Chambers and Jackson are really picking apart the NE secondary. If there is a weakness to New England it is there defense. They don’t play from behind much and most teams abandon the run early. But their secondary and linebackers (with Colvin being hurt) is very suspect and, in many ways, old.

9:59

I now predict that Rivers knee will blow out by the end of this game. I know Rivers didn’t have a great season, but it’s not like he sucks. I would certainly take him over Croyle right now. He’s going to be a very good quarterback (not great though) for a long time. That’s unfortunate for us.

It should be noted that I finally found time to order pizza.

9:22

Junior Seau makes a MASSIVE play to tackle Turner in the backfield and force another San Diego field goal. That is three times now that SD has had to settle for a field goal after driving inside the NE 10.

Field goal is good. 14-12 NE.

This is also a good time to note that my laptop sucks and cannot pick up any internet signal, making this whole process very difficult. I know MACs are supposedly turning into the “not cool” think, but I really wouldn’t mind a MacBookPro right now. Really, I wouldn’t.

8:36

Anybody else hearing the phantom whistles during kickoffs and punts? I swear I’m hearing something.

Did I ever mention the story of the first time my mom got drunk? I’ll have to do that later then won’t I?

(Teaser: She was 46 years old and thought that “Lite” beer meant there was less alcohol in it.)

8:21

Maroney finally has a big run for NE. Andrew should get used to this because I he is going to see tonight is handoffs to his backs. Well done by Andrew to pick three of the four starting running backs in today’s games.

I love this new Nike commercial for the new Jordans, showing all of the home film footage of some of the great modern athletes playing in little league and high school. It’s pretty sweet. I like those kind of commercials for some reason.

7:44

Maroney follows his long run with a zero yard run. Nice.

7:05

Finally, Randy Moss has a reception. Speaking of Moss, Casey barely got his lineup in before kickoff. One of his starters? Terrell Owens.

6:22

Another first down run for Maroney and SD defense looks a little gassed. SD needs to hold NE to a field goal if they want to win this game.

3:56

Remember the last time the Chiefs were in the AFC Championship game? I was nine, Joe Montana died and Daddy was still alive then too.

2:56

HOLY CRAP CROMARTIE WITH AN AMAZING INTERCEPTION OF BRADY IN THE ENDZONE! Wow what a turn of events! Brady losses four fantasy points for Chris! Andrew is elated! Chris does get two points from the SD defense though.
In other news, MY PIZZA GOT HERE!

2:20

SD is moving, which means they’ll get a field goal.

But now its 3rd and long.

1:48

Phil Simms just inferred that NE doesn’t like the way its going. You think?

1:44

An incomplete pass by Rivers forces a punt. But that pick by Cromartie saved the game for SD.

215 red-zone passes by Brady = 62 touchdowns and one interception.

:14

End of the third quarter means… I GET TO EAT!

13:22

Slow motion collisions! ORGASMIC! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

12:15

Touchdown Wes Welker. 21-12 NE. Anyone else see a run on Texas Tech receivers in the draft for the next couple of years?

9:12

You know your job as a punter sucks when you have the ball downed at the 12 and the commentator says, “That’s not deep enough.” Really? An 88-yard drive for a touchdown is not long enough for you Jim?

9:03

Laurence. Maroney. Tearing it up.

8:58

Brady is sacked and then slow to get up. You could hear the concern in the reaction of the fans when Brady laid on the ground for a little bit. I whish he would have stayed down.

7:04

Kevin Faulk catches and then rolls for the first down. And with that, the game is over. I’m going to eat more pizza now.

But not until I mention that Maroney almost died on the ensuing handoff.

5:06

Kevin Faulk with another catch and run for a first down. SD now only has one timeout left.

It should be noted that Chris is going to be the only one left with a quarterback. But Andrew is going to keep Maroney and either Jacobs or Grant depending on game two’s results. Andrew is looking like he’s in prime position to win the playoffs.

2:00

Now would be a really good time for one of those Eff You Touchdown’s to Ben Watson.

And, is anyone else getting depressed each time they mention the Lamar Hunt Trophy? Or are you at least getting depressed that there are only two more football games left until September? Ugh. I guess there’s the draft…

Which would be more bizarre/creepy/awesome, Reggie Bush, Antonio Gates and Jason Witten all standing at your door wanting to play or a talking cartoon referee?

:44

NE is going to the Superbowl. Bastards. GO PACK GO!
