I sincerly hope this is a good game. The big receiving core of the Chargers have made the difference during the Chargers 11 game win streak. Tomlinson is over the hill, too old, and not as explosive as he once was. You won't see him take most the carries on any drive, but they're paying him too much not to at least let him have the touchdowns inside the goal line.
The Chargers are going to move the ball that's for sure. If the Jets redzone defense can keep Rivers and the Chargers to field goals they at least have a shot. The Jets running game will have to come up big and have some long possessions.
You can't talk about Chargers playoff football without talking about Rivers playing on torn knee ligaments while Tomlinson sat on the bench barricaded in his coat and helmet on. I think LT lost much respect in the lockeroom while Rivers gained it tremendously. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Chargers are now suddenly a big passing team.
Darren Sproles will prove to be clutch. I expect a few 20+ yard plays for him and he is always a threat on special teams.
This game will be over in the 3rd quarter, Chargers by 14+, but good luck to the Rex Ryan.

Ouch...The Jets laid a smack down to the Chargers. I guess that Jets D is who we thought they were. It still makes me mad that the Jets are even in the playoffs. If the Colts and Bengals wouldn't have tanked it, the Broncos coulda been in this spot.
