Patriots beat the Chargers last night, 16-3 to wrap up Super Wildcard weekend with one game to go, of course, meaning the Saturday and Sunday games. Here was Drake May. It might not have been a thing of beauty, but we won. There was only the one touchdown. That was the 28-yard at Hunter Henry. May threw for 268 on the night. Here was reaction post-game. I didn't throw very well tonight. No need to be better. But, you know, we do what we had to do, and that's what it takes in the playoffs.

I'm just proud of this team.

That was fantastic. night. Here was reaction post-game. I didn't throw very well tonight. No need to be better. But we do what we had to do, and that's what it takes in the playoffs.

I'm just proud of this team. That was fun, man. That was fun to get one at home and look forward to be back here next week. Understandably so. Here was, so while he was doing his thing on the offense, a lot of field goals in this game, as you can imagine with the score. The defense stood tall.

This was Mike Vrable, really proud of the way they performed against Justin Herbert in this Chargers offense. And at the end, he's referencing Milton Williams, who hit him in the face and caused the bloody lip. We talked to him about being willing to spill some blood out there and that the big dogs come out in January. And I think Milton took that to heart in the way that he played the game and the way he finished the game and he came over and, you know, got me pretty good. But, you know, that's what happens. That's what happens. And I found this clip from Robert Spillane. So I didn't realize their defensive coordinator was out sick. And Zach, Cure is the one that's been doing much of that work. This one to me is pretty eye-opening in terms of what the Chargers, how they played, and what they were seeing or not seeing. This was Spillane giving a lot of props to cure and the way he scheme the game up. After the game, talking to a few of the guys on their team, they had no clue what we were doing. And they came up and said that. We have no clue what you guys were in all games.

So for him just to be able to build those packages throughout the week,

our back-end players to know how to disguise the different defenses really keeps

quarterbacks guessing.

I would think that makes it quite difficult to know where to throw the wall.

Yes.

So here was Herbert. He's only got, well, 15 points in two playoff games. So he's taking a lot of heat and criticism, as you can imagine. Where is your confidence going forward, though, that you guys can start winning games like this? Yeah, I don't know. I haven't figured it out yet, and hasn't happened, so we'll have to reevaluate and see what happens.

Actually, you can't score points when you're laying on your back half the game. And by the way, he's taking more hits than they've scored points. And they lost both of their offensive tackles at the beginning of the year. And one of the reasons why San Francisco won yesterday is because Trent Williams was back on the field for them.

Their left tackle. It's just, it's a vital position, especially for the chargers with losing

both of their tackles. So you understand that this kid stood in there, took him to the playoffs

and got, he got his bell rung like four or five times yesterday there was jim harbaw

couldn't quite explain what's going on we weren't weren't at our best tonight i don't have

the answers uh i wish i did he said because he said that numerous times they played a bunch

of them last hour i think i think their defense played really good yesterday played well played

really good it's the offense is what has been troubling him.

And again, it goes back to the injuries.

And I don't know.

It's just, when you look at the statistics between the two quarterbacks, they had about the same amount of completions and the same amount of rushing yards.
