Anyone who knows about LT, knows that he's not a cheerleader. He leads by doing what he does best on the field. He's one of the few players in the league that doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. No one works harder at his craft than LT. If he doesn't think he can help the team win, as he did in the Colts game, he should earn that respect without question. We get your Pats back at our house next year to return the favor! Hopefully it won't be scheduled right after we play the Colts. Thanks for your comments Gordon. Anyone who knows about LT, knows that he’s not a cheerleader.

I just wanted to say that I used to dislike Philip Rivers and thought he was a loudmouth. But after watching him play severely hurt against the Pats, I've got to give it to him. He's got guts. Much respect to PR. Then I heard he had surgery on the one knee last week, and I was flabbergasted. Unbelievable and gutty performance. Also, people knock LT, but as a competitor, one of the hardest things to do is take yourself out of a big game. It's not like he was scared...the guy runs all over everyone in the league. He probably thought Turner would give the team a better chance. Hat tip to him. I know you don't want to hear it, but nice season guys. Way to come back from a rough start. The Chargers are going to be top of the AFC for the next few years, so you can look forward to that. I’m a pats fan, don’t shoot me.

Tomlinson is one of the greatest Chargers ever. If he says he's too hurt to play, then I believe him. He's been the most durable back in the game for years. Injuries finally caught up to him and some whiny punks with Internet connections are criticizing him for being a wuss or not being a cheerleader? Those people need to be put into prison for 5 years and be forced to watch the decade of losing teams we had before Tomlinson. Then they'd learn what it takes to be a real fan. I'm pretty sure Merriman and Williams have been hurt for a while. They and Gates haven't been their usual selves for about half the season. That's why I was so gungho that we needed to win this one. We've got a lot of great players but most of those players are injury prone. There's no guarantee any of them will be good next year for any lengthy period of time. Think about it. Merriman got hurt at the end of last season and he's hurt again this season. S. Phillips was hurt for a gang of games last season. Olshansky finally made it through a season without serious injuries. You think he's going to go for 2 years in a row? Jamal Williams had been pretty durable until this year ... but he's fat and he's starting to get old - that combination tends to lead to injuries. Castillo gets injured all the time. Rivers was injured at the end of last season and he's injured again. Gates has been pretty durable ... but not this season. Lorenzo Neal had been durable until this season. Neal's age has to be a concern. Cromartie hasn't been injured as a pro but he missed most of his university career with injuries. Jammer had been durable until this year. I noticed he left the game for a bit and our run D went to pot again. He came back but I wonder how good of shape he was in. The O-line has been fairly durable - I'll give them that. Only Goff, because of his age, gives me concerns. But that's pretty much the extent of our durable superstars. As far as coaching and playcalling, I can't complain. Norv and Cotrell did some things early in the season I didn't understand. And there were some moments in the AFC Championship game where I was like, huh? Another pass to Neal? Why? I thought that Cotrell had broken into Norv's office during mid-season and eaten that play. Another playcalling error I saw was we really had to go for it on that 4th down play late. But, the fact is we got beat by the Patriots because the Patriots are better than us, not because our coach messed up. Norv and Cotrell did a lot more good for us than they did bad. They taught us how not to be chokers, how not to do stupid things in big games. My bet is if Norv and Cotrell had been the coaches last season we would have won the Super Bowl.

I was very dissappointed with our run D. I'm trying to figure out if our run D was sloppy because we were dropping more guys back to cover the pass than usual, and was wondering what everyone else saw. Usually I will rewatch games on Tivo, but I may not have the stomach to watch this one back any time soon, if ever. My buddy said that on the Pats last TD we dropped Williams back in coverage, butI find that hard to believe. I know I was screaming at the TV when we rushed 3 on the Pats first TD. That was just ignorant. I never heard Merriman's name mentioned, and the few times I did key in on him they were not double teaming him and Light was handling him one on one.

There are "fans" on the UT website destroying LT for not playing. I'm embarrassed these people call themselves fans of this team, and I do not consider them to be fans. At least when we were 1-15, you had true die hards who knew something about football. There are even "fans"complaining that he should have been rooting the team on instead of sitting on the bench. What in the hell is wrong with these people? Giving LT pom poms wouldn't have helped us any...he does his damage on the field. Some of these bandwagon California fans make me sick.

I used to work for the company that does the merchandising for the Cleveland Browns, among other teams. They also do all of the Super Bowl merchandising. If you go to Cleveland Browns stadium right now, you'll find boxes and boxes of Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl champs shirts, hats, pins, etc. I watched our people seal up the boxes and take them to storage that Monday. My only regret is not taking one before I quit that godforsaken job. If you post this anywhere, please don't use my name. Thanks.

Thanks for all the writing this year. Bummed we lost. The Patriots are a great great team. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'll root for them to finish undefeated. It's either that or do what I did last year and avoid the Super Bowl altogether. Rooting for Eli would be just too much to stomach. What do we need to do to get better for next season? Maybe a better team doctor. I think the injury to Jamal Williams ended up hurting us the most in the end. The Pats just ran us over. Great job by the secondary though. Who would have thought that, in the end, that would be the strength of the team. Colby Hey Ross. Thanks for all the writing this year. Bummed we lost. The Patriots are a great great team.
