I really thought they had a shot to win that game. The Patriots changed their game around and took it to them. The Chargers were out-classed, out-played and embarrassingly out-coached in the first half. The second half was just a technicality.
Classic Belichick really. No better game preparing in the game today and perhaps ever. Interesting to see if the Chiefs can simply out run the Pats or what Belichick will have in mind for Mahommes. Although i would like to see some new blood in the AFC, i still always enjoy a veteran team putting the up and coming team back in their place.. should be fun to watch.
Generally, no, especially on the road. My issue is it was 14-0 Eagles. If it had been 14-0 Saints and they lost by six, I would agree.
Yea, nothing after the quick 14 points.. UGH! They have to do more than that, especially against the Saints. The defense did their part.. kudos to them.. Offense was non existent after the 1st qtr.

The Eagles were even moving the ball when Foles threw the INT that led to the fake punt eventually, and the Saints first points in the game. I didnt think the Eagles O would go into hibernation at that point...

Brandon Brooks injured. Zero production after that.
5 yards per carry on the ground while he was in.
1.6 yards per carry after the Achilles injury.
Pass protection was probably also affected where Foles may have had to get rid of the ball quicker.
I wonder if the Pats win the Super Bowl this year if Brady & Belicheck would retire?? That's about the only reason I'd actually want the Patriots to win. I don't care if they are playing the Rams or Saints I have a less than 0% interest in watching the Patriots in another Super Bowl. Any other combination of Chiefs/Saints/Rams would be great to watch.
The Rams are appearing in their 10th NFC Championship Game as a franchise. Going into Sunday, the Rams are 3-6 all time on Championship Sunday, including 1-4 on the road. Their only road win was the 1979 NFC title game at Tampa (won 9-0)...
This will be the Saints third appearance in the NFC title game, all occurring in the Payton/Brees era. They are 1-1 so far, winning their only home game in OT over the Vikings in 2009. That is one if the more memorable playoff games I've seen in my 20 years watching the game. It was exciting from wire to wire, Favre's last great stand...
I think we should take some time later to appreciate Payton and Brees transforming what had been inarguably one of the worst franchises in all of sports and making them one of the more exciting teams to watch for the last dozen years. Their impact, though at a lower scale, has not been unlike Brady and Belichick in New England, for their city and franchise...
This is the Patriots 15th AFC Championship appearance. They are 10-4 all time, with now 13 of the franchise's 15 Championship Sunday berths being authored by Belichick and Brady. Now, the Patriots are only 3-3 in road games in this round, so they can be had on the road...
The Chiefs lost their first previous AFC title appearance in '93 at the Bills. Unless you count the AFL Championships in 1966 (beat Bills, lost SB I to the Packers) and 1969 (beat Raiders, beat Vikings in SB IV), that would make the Chiefs 2-1 in the conference championship...
