Brady vs. Manning, the two biggest legends in the game right now playing next week for the AFC Championship.
 
Wilson vs. Kaepernick, the two biggest rising stars in the game right now, playing next week for the NFC Championship.
 
The league literally couldn't have written a better result.

All of these plays the past few drives have been there, it's just been shitty execution. Maybe they should have given themselves a better chance earlier in the game. 
 
Hands to the face right in front of the ref.

Can someone help me translate Simms' comments. They have good defensive backs...but they give up too many big plays

Why is the clock running when Rivers went out of bounds?
 
The clock doesn't stop on plays out-of-bounds outside of 2 minutes in the first half and 5 minutes in the second half.  As soon as the ball is spotted, the clock runs.

The #Chargers have run 35 offensive plays today. That is not a misprint
 
 
That doesn't include the last drive I think. For reference the Colts ran 65 last night which I read was the 2nd least against the Pats all year with 63 I believe being the least.

Rev, clock re-starts when it's spotted after going OOB, except the last five minutes of each half.

Not 5 minutes or less left.

Allen's celebrations seem to indicate that he cares a lot more about Keenan Allen than he cares about the San Diego Chargers

If your team had 5 offside penalties wouldn't you?

If this Broncos team shows up next week and the Pats don't completely beat themselves, the Pats are going to win.

Should either onside or line up to onside and try to pop it up short of the end zone and pin them deep
 
Dunno anything about Chargers special teams, but as the saying goes, it comes down to whether or not you trust your defense.
 
I wouldn't trust them.

Nahhh. His are way over the top. He literally points repeatedly to the name on the back of his jersey and ignores his teammates. He's done the exact same thing twice.

Ugh....if SD had decided to open up in the first half, this game may have a much different outlook.  Not sure why they waited until the latter part of the second half.
 
Maybe they should have tweeted to the fans for advice on changes earlier?
 
With all of this...I much less afraid of the Patriots playing in Denver than I was a few months ago.  Denver is still very beatable, and we look more balanced than earlier.  I like out matchup.
