sorry; meant if patriots and chargers finish with the same record. let's call it 13-3. looks like the patriots (from what i'm reading on twitter anyway) hold that tiebreaker due to wins over conference opponents.
Only one team between KC and SD can be seeded ahead of NE assuming NE wins the division. Doesn't matter what the records are.

They have to jump KC to be in the picture with the Pats.

If LA won the division I think it would come down to strength of victory if they were tied with the Patriots. They would both be 10-2 in the AFC and same record vs. common opponents. Right now the Pats have a much superior SOV.

Look at Rivers throw a block. He’s a tough fucker.

CC can’t remember a game? How about the Falcons super bowl. Dummy.
The comparisons were almost eerie. I was thinking about it even when they were down 16, nevermind after the two 2-point conversions, and the acrobatic, layout-across-2-defenders you-gotta-be-kidding-me catch.

It was really fun to root for Rivers for a night. He's probably not making the hall of fame but he really doesn't let you down much.

Holy shit I didn’t realize it was Jon Bostic covering Allen. Who is Keith Butler blackmailing?

I feel like we had this discussion before, but I don’t see how anyone can hate Rivers. I get that Chargers team with LDT and Merrimack was annoying, but Rivers is a competitor and tough as shit and I think he deserves the HoF on top of that. He’s one guy I’d love to root for.

Spent four years of his prime coached by Mike McCoy too.

Co-sign – also because you know his HoF induction speech will be chock full of batshit crazy.

Did you guys see that Nantz and Romo couldn't see at one point during the first quarter yesterday in Atlanta? The roof was open at the MercDome, and the sun was coming in at just the right angle to blind them so badly that they could barely see their monitors, much less the field.
Wow, really?

What do you do that kind of situation? At least if there’s dense fog like the Atlanta-Pats game last year you’ll presumably have a good look on the monitors.

The camera panned to them, and they were using stuff that looked like 8 by 11 cardboard sheets to block the sun.

By the time we all stop calling them San Diego they will be out of LA
If they want me to stop calling them San Diego, they need to no longer be the Chargers, or they need to leave the state. As far as I'm concerned, San Diego and LA are basically the difference between Worcester and Boston anyway.

Josh Adams is good. Like really good. If Philly commits to him as their starting running back, and gives him the requisite touches, he's going to put up huge numbers.

That should not have been a roughing flag. He was pushed into Wentz and couldn't have possibly slowed down any more than he did. He even let up as he made contact.

Are these idiots really not going to mention how the ball came out on that Sanchez sack right there? Seriously?

Pederson called 2 timeouts on defense with little upside. Did the same thing against Dallas and it cost them 7 points.
Yep, I can see it on third down, but calling timeouts on first and second down when the other team is in the hurry-up is crazy.
