What they're saying

What newspaper columnist and bloggers have to say about the Chargers' 28-24 upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday and about the Chargers' chances next week in the AFC Championship Game against the undefeated New England Patriots:
"Folks, there is no pretty way to say it: The Colts gagged on this one. They fell over their feet. They blew it. Which, after watching them fall to Tennessee (1999), Miami (2000), the Jets (2002), New England (2003 and 2004) and Pittsburgh (2005), shouldn't come as such a great surprise."
---- Bob Kravitz, Indianapolis Star
"... please be aware that the New England Patriots already have won their fourth Vince Lombardi trophy in seven years. They clinched it Sunday, while sitting around their TV sets, watching the only team that possibly could have beaten them, the Indianapolis Colts, lose at home to the San Diego Chargers.
---- Jay Mariotti, Chicago Sun-Times
"The most learned men of our day will no doubt spend countless hours dissecting and analyzing the evidence, yet still might not figure out how the Chargers won. It will be hard for anyone outside Southern California not to view the events of today as the Colts blowing it."
---- David Steele, Baltimore Sun
"Today was not a good day for the 1972 Dolphins or for anybody else rooting against New England achieving 19-0 perfection. When the Colts were upset by San Diego it eliminated the AFC team best-equipped to run-and-gun with the Pats.
"When the Cowboys were upset by the Giants (I predicted it!), it predicted the NFC's No. 1 seed. In other words, the Patriots' path to and through the Super Bowl seemed to get easier on Sunday."
---- Greg Cote, Miami Herald
