I agree with Cats, LT isn't the same runner he once was, and it makes the Chargers almos one dimensional. The Jets are on a roll and I expect they will play a close game against Indy but I think the Colts will finally end a very nice run by the Jets.

FYI Keading is 8/15 for his career in the playoffs.

 

He just lost his job.

I don't know, the Jets are a dangerous team. One heck of a defense!

 

I remember another team a few years back who had a rookie QB, a good running game and a tough defense. As a wildcard had to win 3 away games (last one at Indy) on their way to a super bowl win.

I have been cheering for the Chargers since 1979. I still have an old Fouts jersey, some old Air Coryell pennants. I lived through the Immaculate Deception in 1980, the freeze out in Cincinatti in 1981, playoff upsets in 1982 and 1983, I cheered them and supported them for bad years in the late 80's and early 90's, watched them get waxed in the Super Bowl in 1994, kept on supporting them through horrendous years in the late 90's and early part of this decade. I suffered through Kaeding's choke in 2004, the choke against New England in 2006, fight through adversity to fall in the AFC championship in 2007, watched them lose to a better team after a stretch run in 2008, and through all that, this one hurts the worst.

 

My whole family, including my infant daughter in an Antonio Gates onesy, was sporting Charger jerseys tonight, and watched them suck, and not only suck, bur suck with bad form, kicking a challenge flag for one penalty, head butt a player for another, throw an interception when noone was looking, miss three field goals, drop a first down pass, give up a third and ten first down simply by being lazy.

 

I just don't know whether I can take it anymore.

 

Norv Tunrer is not the issue. He is a good coach. The onside had a method to the madness, we can talk more about that later. Rivers is a good quarterback, I really don't think he is the issue. The Chargers just aren't TOUGH. Their lineman, both sides of the ball, just are not tough, and I am sick and tired of overrated talent.

 

Let L.T. retire gracefully if he will, but if he won't cut him before he gets the $4 million. This is a business. Get something for Sproles, Cromartie, Castillo, Merriman and get rid of them. They are no longer threatening. Find some people whom other teams will fear, both sides of the ball.

 

I don't know whether I can wear a Bolt jersey anymore. We'll see.

 

Nate Keading self-destructed. Certainly, I expected them to play better, but they'd have won that game if Kaeding had made the kicks he normally makes.

 

BTW, didn't he miss a big kick that could have beat the Jets in a playoff game a few years ago? Herm Edwards was the coach, and Eric Barton (LB for the Jets) got a huge penalty that almost cost NY the game, but Kaeding blew it.

 

It seems he can't handle the increase in pressure come playoff time.

 

I do think its time to part ways with LT, unless he'll take a significant pay cut. Its time to find a new RB, and Darren Sproles isn't the answer, IMO.

 

Its disappointing to me because I don't think the Jets can hang with Indy. San Diego vs. Indy could have been a great matchup. Looks like Peyton is going to get another shot at a ring.

As far as I know, no rookie QB has ever started, much less, won the Super Bowl. If you're talking about the 2005 Steelers (2006 SB XL), Roethlisberger was in his second year, not a rookie. Tom Brady had also completed his second year (2001), when the Pats won it in 2002 (SB XXXVI).

My bad, I thought that was Big Ben's rookie year.

Yay...another weak of listening to Rex run his mouth. :ohbrother:

 

How can anyone not like Rex? He's good for the game and good for these boring playoffs.

I hate him. Don't really know why, but it has something to do with his constant smugness.

I think they went 15-1 and lost to New England in the AFC Title game when he was a rookie.

True.

Thats true. I was at the AFC championship game... :ohbrother: :lol:

Is that the game the Pats put up 40+ ?

41 -27 I think was the final score... We made two nice runs, but the Pats always answered.

He just lost his job.

 

No he didn't. And neither did Opie. They will both be back. I see a lot of similarities between them. Both are pretty darn consistent kickers but when the pressure is on( I mean big-time, big-game pressure), they are woeful. I look for both to be with the same teams next season.

True.

 

Perhaps they should just hold him out of Jets games...:lol:
