If our defense played the ball instead of the WR, we could've had a few turn over's. Happy with the results though. Defense is progressing, Special Teams looked good. These are the two things which will be vital to securing our next Super Bowl.

We survived San Diego ...whew! Thank goodness for replacement kickers and nervous defensive lines ... (not to mention San Diego's apparent lack of knowledge of the rules of football - TWO live balls left on the ground for the pickings in one game!!!)

Looking for positives in this one ...
* The first drive of the second half - down the field for a TD. nice!
* Steven Gostkowski ... 3 for 3
* The Patriots DO know the rules and twice DID pick up live, loose balls.

Let's face it the Pats won because the Chargers continually screwed up. As for positives, I keep coming back to the number of times Belicheck exhorts his team to "just do you job" and not worry about other stuff, but to trust that the guy next to you is also doing his job. I contrast that with the Chargers where every player seemed to be trying to do that "little extra" most often resulting in failed plays, (look how many easy passes were dropped because receivers took a quick peek to see where they could run to and thus missed the catch).

It's the NFL - every week is tough and this week the Chargers were generous in their ineptitude, but a win is a win and we'll take it.

A win is a win, but it was an ugly one the we could have easily lost.

It should never have gotten that close, in the 4th quarter.
