The interception then fumble on 4th down was perhaps one of the biggest choke jobs in the history of the NFL playoffs. At that point anyone with an elementary understanding of football knew the game was over.

Congrats on the Pats winning, but they didn't look the least bit impressive and the game was one of the few examples of why parity sometimes isn't a good thing.

On the first series on D, the Chargers dropped a sure interception also which would have led to 3 or 7 points. They made numerous errors and did not deserve to win even though they were the better team imo.

You can just never rest easy until the Patriots are eliminated .... this is coming from a Steeler fan who has seen it first hand over the last few years.

That being said ... go Bears.

if LT thinks the pats are classless for doin a dance after a win. then merriman is classless because does it after a big hit or sack. personally i'm SICK of seeing this crap ! so what you did your job! now get up and make another freaking play!

if LT wants to be mad at anyone , be mad at your own team-mates ! those bone heads on the defense pissed the game away with STUPID penalties and a fumble. let's add to that how many balls did parker and jackson drop?

i'm a steelers fan, so i have no dog in these fights but i've yet to see a decent game. all the play has been poor and the nfc, what a joke! the saints are a nice story and i'd like to see them in the super bowl but the pats will blow out whoever wins the nfc. the colts will choke like usually. they've barely servived to this point.

Plenty of blame to go around!

another sad athlete playing the "respect" card. Hilarious. That drug addled punk playing lb for you deserves to be made fun of. Win the game on your home field if you want respect LT. Until you actually win a big game, your team deserves and will get zero respect. Merriman deserves absolutely zero respect and deserves every piece of ridicule thrown at him by whomever. HE is a clown of the highest order. The quality of play is so pathetically poor in the NFL it is disgusting that one of these teams will actually win a Super Bowl. Your team played a ridiculously poor game LT...think about that rather than lack of "respect". By the way...tell your coach on 4th and 11 to kick a 47 yard field goal which is actually in Kaeding's range rather than going for it!! OF course NE is playing the steroid juiced punter Sauerbraun!! Awesome league there isn't it!! I say just award the title to the team whose offensive lineman have the most colorful and numerous tattoos with most area covered. THat would be better than actually playing these hideously played games.

(just kidding!! I am praying for two well-played games on Sunday however...there has been in my opinion mainly poor play on display this postseason...could just be my age kicking in as I reflect on the "olden" days and great football. It was probably poor back in the 70s, 80s and 90s as well.)
