Re: The 2013 New England Patriots
There's no such thing as a good loss, but as has been mentioned already I can live with this one. GB, a good team with a very good QB, defended their home turf vs the Pats with a win in a close game. No shame there. Rodgers was lights out especially in terms of the Pats taking away his #1 and #2 options but him hitting 3, 4, and 5. If he played like that every game all year the Packers would be undefeated. I don't think he threw a bad pass all game. On a neutral site, and having played them previously, I'd expect a different outcome. With the exception of Denver, I can't think of a harder place to win than Lambeau.

Kansas City? The Pats were a different team then, and it didn't torpedo Peyton. Seattle? Can't happen. As long as they win out, Pats are in good shape, location-wise.
The one thing I have a problem with (and I haven't seen it, DVRed the game and haven't seen it yet) is the score at the end of the first half. As someone, I think it was Gasper in the Globe, the hockey equivalent of scoring with two minutes left in the period to basically pull even, then giving up a goal in the last minute.

Bad playcalling plus off target Brady led to an aggravating game until the 4th quarter. Liked what I saw out of the D however. Is San Diego's O-line really bad? Rivers was running for his life all game and the Pats rarely generate that much pressure on the QB.

I agree with Jon that the O was awful last night, but the D gave up only 7 to a good offense, and in the second half, you never got the feeling that San Diego was going to be able to put together a drive, especially given that their field position would be bad because of the loss of their punter. That sloppy, half-hearted block, and Bolden's effort on the blocked punt was one of the key plays of the game.
Seemed to me that they blitzed more than usual last night, and they blitzed in odd ways. In a few plays it looked like there were 12 men on the line of scrimmage. I think that the Chargers were not prepared for it.

This looks like a repeat so far and only the special teams and pick is saving them so far. The secondary is giving up big plays like in the GB game.
