Patriots capitalize on Charger's mistakes

I had to pick this article because it is not very often that a Chargers game will make its way into the New York Times. This article was written by Judy Battista and I thought that she did a good job writing this article. She didn't give us a play by play version of the game but coming from someone that watched the whole game, she hit on the key points that should have been mentioned.

She did a very good job in describing the key fumble that changed the game which happened mid way through the fourth quarter when Charger's running back Mike Tolbert fumbled as the Chargers were driving. And she did a good job in highlighting Tom Brady. His first two weeks of the season have been nothing but impressive. It doesn't matter who the Patriots put on the offense with him. He always seems to make every player around him better and yesterday was no exception. The Chargers have a lot of work to do going forward. I do believe that they will make the playoffs but key mistakes always seem to hurt the Chargers because they always pick the wrong time to make mistakes.

  1. Good Post TJ. I truly can't stand Tom Brady. But that's just a testament to how good he is. He's so good, its scary. I feel sorry for teams that have to play against him, and I hate when the Giants have to see him. He can throw for 400-500 yards and 3 TDs just about any game- ridiculous. Definitely a legend, but I still don't like him.

  2. Glad you got to read and dissect a New York reporter's account of your Chargers game, TJ. Interesting observations.
