Open Thread: Jets at Chargers

SB Nation Jets blog: Gang Green Nation

SB Nation Chargers blog: Bolts From The Blue

Ehh. Apologies to Jets and Chargers fans, but this game holds little interest for me. I expect the Chargers will win, but it could become a no-scoring game if the Jets' league best pass defense can dominate the Chargers' Top 5 pass offense. I can't say a low scoring, defensive struggle holds a lot of interest for me either.

Clearly, nobody else has much interest either.

San Diego’s passing game is looking good on their second drive though.

What a difference between Romo and Rivers...

Romo starts to duck and run around in a circle under pressure, Rivers stands in the pocket. I hope Rodgers is watching this.

Uhm, Rodgers standing in the pocket *was* the problem to start the season

He wouldn’t throw the ball away or run, he’d just stand there looking for someone to open up…

Rodgers was the #2 rushing QB

He actually made a lot of plays running and scored a bunch of TD’s. It’s mostly the poor OL play earlier in the year that hurt them. At least he wasn’t throwing INT’s.

by JamesinCA on Jan 17, 2010 4:34 PM CST reply actions  

Oh, I'm not blaming Rodgers

Grant was doing nothing so they’d only rush 3 or 4 and still get to Rodgers because we were always in pass mode.

Norv Turner is a loser

I’ve always said it and I’m a Packers fan who lives in the SD area – when they hired Norv I predicted no super bowls for the SD Chokers. Norv has been a loser his entire head coaching career.
