PATRIOTS VS CHARGERS SUNDAY NIGHT 12/7/14 AFTERMATH

PATRIOTS VS CHARGERS SUNDAY NIGHT GAME 12/7/14 AFTERMATH..
  Final score 23-14. Patriots win a very pivotal game where home field advantage could be the telling stat as they make their run for the SUPERBOWL.. It was close game for 30 minutes , but after halftime,,It was all Patriots.. for the next 30 minutes , forget about the score or how it looked, The patriots were dominating the chargers. on offense and defense, what saved the score was a pivotal pick by teo.. about time? I give credit for the chargers , but credit doesn't score points or win games,, Moral victories, that crap doesn't exit in youth sports , so don't tell me that in professional sports.. In the Pro game,, You play to win the game,,, and that's where i have issues with Coach McCoy,.
 Issue one; Why did you abandon the running game with Mathews? The Chargers were getting yards and moving the ball effectively. ? You don't trust him,, he might fumble or worse yet get injured,, If that's the case why bother with him? I mean,, If your afraid to do something , your playing into Bhecks strategy.. which is make you doubt your strengths and fear your weaknesses.. He succeeded on both accounts. Because you failed to use the work horse for whatever reason,,, fumbling issues or injury concerns,. Makes no sense,, if something is working stay with it. But I feel you guys panicked and thought or out thought one another. Because the lack of running in the second half, led to no points and a inability to move the ball.. Unless your saving Mathew's for the playoffs ,but by losing games now,, may hurt you or even hinder you from making the playoffs.. so the saving idea is a faulty one at best.. ??
 Next issues,, The play calling or lack of it.. I hate to say it,, I see alot of nervous norv turner play calling and I hated his style.. Why repeat the same running plays when they are so predictable.. in other words, I see a lack of creativity and not using the personnel properly,, The chargers have tremendous play makers on the offense, but at times,, like last night,, I saw a very bland attack ??
 Why? Because you fear showing all your cards before the end of the season,, or saving some plays for the playoffs,, Well once again,, your falling into the bcheck mind set.. He psyched you out.. If your so concerned about showing it all, then your afraid to try or show new things,, For example the fake punt weddle pulled off was brilliant, even though you were upset.. Sometimes,, in games. you cant just go with the trends, or what the expected outcome ,, sometimes, you need to trust your guts your qb,, your line,, based n what I'm seeing,, you have no faith in the line and no faith in your qb.. when your home,, you have to be gutsy,, and confident because your home,, the  last quarter with some 6 minutes left.. what did you do?
 You punted with a back up punter,, 6 minutes left,, in Baltimore you let rivers go and they came back to win,, but last night you decided  to punt and the story was simple,, Brady ran out the clock and we never had a chance to make a comeback,.. poor decision,, based on,, you have to give your team a chance to make a comeback,.. I know if you fail you give them great field position and may even score,, but if your logic is to keep the score reasonable,, but not giving your team a chance to win,, that's even a more twisted and inaccurate choice.. I;m not saying the team would of came back,, but you have to let them try,, but you elected to play the odds, the trends , the so called play it by the book,, sorry Coach, charger fans saw that in norv tuner,, and it was the longest 3 years of losing this team had to endure=.. Lets face it,, Rivers is getting old, and may have what,, 4- 6 years left,, maybe if he survives all the hist he has taken.. But not trying to win at home was disturbing,, 
 My last issue was in game adjustments were not effective, when something is not working you have to stick with what got you there,, gates and Allen are the play makers, the play shakers,, it seems after the Floyd td catch.. the offense never got going again.. and whats sad, or disappointing,, the chargers wasted a great defensive effort.. What a shame,, especially at home, you have to win games like that of your a true contender.. But it seems , fear, indecisiveness constructed the play calling.. My take I lose my ace punter , who gave you great field position.. then the play calling had to adjust,, make third downs,, run the ball , create some dominance,, like the patriots did,, if may have not shown up on the score board, but they used the clock and ran the ball and basically imposed their will. Sure it was close game,, but the patriots ruled the line of scrimmage , and time of possession and finally made that one big plat to seal the deal.. Its like boxing,, you jab, and hit and cover,, and just wait for the opening,, because lack of focus, boredom, or just wearing out,, you will have a chance for a knockout,, and that's what happened, late in the 4th quarter.. they finally broke through and that td score to edelman,, was th nail in the coffin. the game was over,, and the chargers never recovered with any fight to game plan.. if anything , it should of fired the bolts up to regain the lead, but all I saw was conservative play calling and a qb who was making poor decision's and very inaccurate,, maybe the rib injury, maybe the scope of the event or what but Rivers was not rivers that night.. If anything he look frazzled and confused and his play dictated that.. 
 As for the defense, great job,, but holding Brady the whole night was not going to happen, and when he found the hole or mistake he took advantage of it. that's what big time players do under the pressure scenario.. Rivers didnt not respond and because of that he is now 0-6 against Brady,, and I know,, its just the regular season, by but the same deal happens in the playoffs too, 
 But the bolts can control their destiny,, they need to win,,, win out if possible or 2 out of 3,, The ravens have a easier schedule and odds makers are picking them at the 6th and final spot for the playoffs, but the chargers have no one to blame except themselves,, Broncos , 49ers and Chiefs,, all possible wins,, but all possible losses if they don't play well.. 
  Bottom line ; the chargers are in control of their own destiny,, win all 3 I believe that are in no matter what the ravens do because the chargers own the tie breaker, start to lose, then complications can occur.. the defense is playing championship football and the offense is inconsistent. Whatever happens, you know the chargers are going to make it dramatic.. but of they really want to be contenders,, they must be consistent and be ready for everything. The chargers have the talent if no one gets hurt, but the Coach has to do a better job to be in the position to win the game, Punting with less than 6 minutes and 9 points down doesn't seem like a realistic way to win.. The chargers have another test on Sunday and ,, should they prevail with a win, the bolts continue on , but another loss at home with road games against winning teams may be too much for these chargers. If the chargers truly want to make December a month to remember, then next Sunday against the broncos is their chance to make a statement and final run to the playoffs.. Like I said earlier the chargers are in control of their own destiny,, win out they are in.. anything less could be a mathematical equation that may need enormous computation and evaluation which may not help their cause.. 
 As for the Patriots, I feel thy are set to have home field advantage and  cause all AFC teams to come to their house to play for the championship. and based on past experience, Brady bunch will not let any team beat them at home and because of that.. They will go onto to the Superbowl and face the other power house in the NFL.. that is Aaron Rodgers and the Green bay packers,, who are the originals,, that may bring the Lombardi trophy home.. Its been a crazy year, and why not? I mean why not the two most respected or hated franchises in NFL history , come together and make history,, NFL is really the NO FIGURE LEAGUE,, and the way its going,, I wouldn't be surprised the wild card steelers go on to face the another paced offense like the eagles,,,, I know not possible , but its been that kind of year and I wouldn't be shocked by any match up... ?
