An editorial observation:
Hats off to the New England Patriots for overcoming tremendous adversity this season. Given that they had been left for dead, the Patriots have shown more testicular fortitude than any other team in the history of the NFL by winning 11 games.
Most teams would have folded up camp and started making preparations for next season. Many NFL fans, including myself, were surprised and impressed by the character this team demonstrated throughout this trying season.
While I believe no team is more deserving of a playoff berth, I think it shows bad taste to hear the New England Patriot faithful crying about an 8-8 San Diego Charger team hosting a playoff game.
The Patriots and Chargers squared off earlier this year and New England got its socks knocked off, 30-10! And the score should have been worse!
And in reading local Boston sports press, most comments focused on how awful the San Diego Chargers' baby blue throwback uniforms were. Obviously, the local press couldn't find any glitches in the way the Chargers completely dismantled the Patriot team.
The simple fact was: A single Patriots win over the Chargers would have granted a playoff spot. So quit your whining and crying, and if you don't like the uniforms, watch the snow fall outside your windows instead!
The San Diego Chargers earned that playoff berth, and I believe they'll make quite a run and have a few surprises left.
