Open Thread: Sunday Bye

in San Diego Chargers Game Day Open Threads
Email
PrintAnd then there were two. Possible opponents for the Chargers next week, that is. Sorry Bengals, but your record against the 2009 Chargers will have to remain at 0-1 for all of eternity. Here's today's games:
- Ravens at Patriots - If the Ravens win, the Jets travel to San Diego next weekend. If the Patriots win, they'll be the ones enjoying a few days in the California sun. I suppose I'd rather face the Patriots, because of past history and because their running game and defense is not as good as NY's, but either one is fine really. I'll probably be pulling for Baltimore just to see Belichick lose a Wild Card game.
- Packers at Cardinals - Winner of this game gets to play New Orleans next week. Fun! Saw two interesting stats today about the Cardinals. The first is that the Cardinals are 5-0 in games-after-losses this year. Remember that they lost last week. The second was that Kurt Warner is 8-3 in the playoffs. That's a damn impressive record. I still say the Packers win, but those stats sobered me up a bit.
This upcoming week, I'll reveal to everyone the playoff picks of the BFTB writers. We tried to pick every winner and every game. Guess who I had in the Super Bowl? If you guessed the Eagles, who went 0-1 in the playoffs for the first time ever under Andy Reid last night, you win nothing but the satisfaction of being right.
Chat about the games in the comments below. Unlike yesterday, I should actually be around to boost my comment totals today.

i would also rather face the Pats
the Jets worry me a little bit, and i’d like to see them beat the Colts.
plus i’d like the Chargers to be the team that sends Belichick packing. thats just me though.

im really familiar with both the patriots and jets and have to say that i hate the jets and rex ryan far more than anyone else in the NFL. that said, im pulling for the Patriots today because i would love nothing more than to see peyton manning and reggie wayne shut the big fat loud mouths of the “proud” jets Defense and Darelle Revis… also i dont think the patriots would be able to hand with ya’lls O without Wes Welker, probably hurts the pats almost as much as losing tom brady would.
I think Mark Sanchez will be the reason why the Jets lose
whether he plays against the Colts or the Chargers.

After watching the Cowboys game last night
as well as their last few, I have to wonder if the Chargers’ offense doesn’t have some advantage over them that other teams don’t. Remember Keith Brooking said after our game with them that Rivers was calling out their blitzes and identifying their defensive plays before the snap. I can’t help but think the Chargers’ familiarity with Wade and his schemes helps them do better against the Cowboys than other teams do.

Hopefully so.
Darelle Revis will completely neutralize whoever he is covering (I assume V-Jax), so it’s up to Floyd and Gates to have huge games. If we can stop the run, which thankfully we are improving at doing, we will win.

He will quit by the time the third quarter rolls around.

Who would you guys rather play?
Personally, I like the thought of our defense going up against a generally running team like the Jets with a young quarterback like Sanchez (as much as I do like him from USC) being pressured by our blitz packages. I think if NE pulls this game out they’d have a lot of momentum and the veteran leadership of Brady makes for a more difficult game
At least that’s my opinion. GO RAVENS

Why
would the Pats have momentum from winning today but not the Jets from yesterday? Jets are on a 3 game winning streak, NE lost last week. Big Mo is definitely in the Jets camp.
As a Jets fan, I hope most of you are right; I’d rather they play the Bolts than the Colts.
Rookie QB
Mostly a run game, it’s been shown this season that while Sanchez can look really good at times, when blitz packages are thrown at him he gets flustered, moves out of the pocket and makes bad decisions. I love the kid, wish he would’ve stayed at USC another year, and think he will be a great QB. But, with the Chargers blitz packages, the fact that you are mostly a run team and that we have quite possibly the second best QB playing at this point in Philip Rivers, it’s no wonder we’d rather play against an unexperienced run first team than a veteran led legitimately balanced team like the Pats.
I’m not saying the Jets don’t have a chance, but I don’t think they’d have as good a chance as the Pats. All this is null void now though because no way NE comes back in this game now

It doesn't matter at this point
but if the Patriots do overcome this deficit, they would have momentum of overcoming a huge deficit, beating a great defensive team, and having the feeling that they’re never out of a game. That, I believe, is more psychologically empowering to a football team than winning three straight, two against teams that laid down and one against an injury riddled clearly fading at the end of the year Cincy team.
Patriots would definitely have more of an edge to them if they came back in this game

That's going to be a scary match up for the Chargers
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
Agreed.
The Jets can run the ball, they can stop the pass, and they can stop the run. But I’d be suspicious of any defense that’s based around creating mismatches in the secondary to set up a blitz, should that defense have to go to San Diego. And an offense that can’t hurtle it downfield needs to get really lucky to put up enough points to make it happen.
But no matter who wins on Saturday, the championship game will be tough. Baltimore stacks up well vs. SD, and the Colts are just awesome.

"Just another Halo victory" - Rory Markas
I don’t think the Jets can score enough against the Chargers to win. I think they slow down the offense a little bit…which is to say Rivers and company score 21-24 points instead of their 28.4 ppg average. Sanchez’s rookie inconsistency combined with the Chargers’ relatively good pass defense will result in the San Diego win.

Jets' offensive gameplan will probably be
To establish the run, then get short passes off of play action, with an occasional long pass.
The short passes might burn us, especially if Cooper or Dobbins are responsible for the pass coverage.
"Just another Halo victory" - Rory Markas
They are for sure going to establish the run. That’s what they do. Sanchez has cost them some games this year. I’d be surprised to see him have 2 good games in a row, on the road, in the playoffs.

My prediction is he won't be that bad.

How bad? I just said I think his inconsistency will hurt them.

I think he'll be average yardage wise
but no turnovers. Less than 200 yards, assuming they run well. It’s just that our defense is not very good, and the Jets will exploit our biggest weakness (run defense) to help our our lesser weakness (pass defense).

This is why the matchup scares me.
We cannot tackle halfbacks, let alone big bruising halfbacks. The Jets remind me a lot of the Ravens, and lets just say that I would like to forget about our tackling (or lack thereof) then.
Lets hope we can get some pressure on Dirty Sanchez, and put him in obvious passing situations to force him into mistakes. If they run at will, Our offense will have to score at least 35 points for us to win.
Who needs the pistol when you have the TaZeR? Kenjon Barner, the Ducks officially licensed tazer since 2009.
Wow. Flacco only threw for 34 yards
So much for this league being a passing league.

He was reportedly (and apparently) pretty banged up,
I think it was his hamstring in his plant foot.

I'm skeptical.
the ravens can run but I didn’t think they showed great passing. they have a great defense and they can shut down an offense, sure, but they only won today because of some amazing plays by special teams and defense early in the game. if Indy’s defense can shut down the Ravens running game I think Indy can take them.
the only thing that has me thinking the ravens will not win is if their defense is on the field too long.
but, with how they played today, with their defense, they beat the colts in the same scenario next week. they need to put a lot of pressure on PM, which is what they do as a defense.
They were saying that Flacco last year is the only rookie QB ever to win 2 playoff games. It never happened before last year. It would be crazy to see it 2 straight years after never happening for who-knows-how-many years before that.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS Come on down,
Your the next contestant who’s going to lose to the Chargers!
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
I'll say right now
Ravens D looked way more dominating than the Jets D.

it's also the scheme. The Ravens defense is about attacking and overwhelming the offense.
THe Jets have better corners than the Ravens, so they dont have to throw so many different looks.
No, he had an average amount of pressure in his face (After all, any pressure against Tom Brady is the sign of the apocolypse as we know it)..
And thus looked well below average. Rivers is used to dealing with pressure and excelling, I like our chances much better.

Wow this is starting to look like the Ravens-Pats game
Opening drive for a TD, then a forced fumble.

My NFC picks were right.
My AFC picks sucked.

Saturday: 2-for-2
Sunday: 0-for-2
And it sucks, because I had picked the Packers to be a dark horse and make it to the Super Bowl.
Rightfully so
Packers had probably the most balanced team in the league. But their D didn’t step up like it was supposed to.
