Playoff games are normally decided by one thing. Turnovers. This one will be no different. The other wildcard will be Scifres. He is due for a bust out game with some pinbacks inside the 10. I expect an extremely tight game until the 4th quarter with both defenses having the leg up most of the game. Gates finally gets some catches late and the Chargers escape wth a 10 point win 23-13. One pick by a Jet corner but it won't be Revis.
Not this year he isnt and Rivers got voted into the probowl over him and has so two times now. Brady is still good. Rivers is just quitely passing him by. As for Miami, i dont care how good their running game is, we average a lot more points than they do per game and Rivers actually is the career leader all time amongst QB's for highest ave points per game with 28. It wont mean anything on Sunday but i just get the impression that nobody on the east side knows much about Rivers because he dont get much pub. The NFL would still rather polish Cutler and Brady's nut sacks but know this, Rivers IS and is going to be an elite QB in this league for years to come.
Isnt Lowrey hurt? I havent heard the extent of it and dont really care as far as his availablity much but saw him go out late in the game with an injury.
Today Rex said there were only 2 players that didn't have a full practice, and Lowery wasn't even one of the players named who practiced full on the ijury list. He did name Strickland who practiced a full day with a quad injury. That may be who you saw gimp it up. Strick has been on-and-off injured all season.
Rivers is a machine, we aren't kidding ourselves. But it is a human machine. If it bleeds we can kill it.
How could you not care for his availability? He is a solid #2 and well above average #3 corner, he got a helmet to his nutsack on Saturday but was back after a few downs.
So...is one week enough for Crimea Rivers to learn to ignore his first read...because he's out on Revis Island...or does that extra second of habit cause him to be lunch for Calvin Pace...

Because i dont. Whether he plays or not makes really no difference. I am confident in whoever we line up against him. Our WR group is solid. Really not worried about Sheppard either.
100 yard 1 td days for everybody! man why should we even show up? through all the BS thats been said its all as simple as this. the jets are underdogs for a reason. that being said, if you guys think your 8 or 9 in the box will be any different from everything weve done the last 17 games your sorely mistaken. we will succeed running on you. Rivers is good enough to light us up on a drive or two, lets just get that out of the way. Conversely, if our running game is over 4 ypc, as opposed to a honorable 3 to 3.5, we will keep him on the sideline. Also Rivers knows how good he is, for the great throws he will make Sunday I see him giving us an important turnover whether it be forcing it into a tight spot or getting blindsided on one of his 7 step drops. Also the obvious Sanchez factor will he look like he has the last few weeks or will he revert back to rookie appearance. i think the ultimate key will be simply the turnover battle and field position. if sproles gives the chargers a short field consistently were toast number 1 defense or not. if we get good field position itll be easier for us to grind the clock down without worrying about not coming away with points on the drive. there you go a common sense no bullshit breakdown.
Since Rivers completes passes to as many as 7-8 different recievers, im really not worried about that either. We had 4 different guys that had 45 or more receptions and Floyd is one of them and that was after we released Chambers after week 8 and he took over as a stater. Even our FB's had 26 combined. We didnt have a Brandon Marshall or Welker who got 120 catches so again, Vince Jackson dont need to have a big game for us to have success. If he gets two catches , it just means Floyd, Gates, Sproles or even Naanee have more.
The Q is expected to be louder than ever. I'll do my part. I'd put the over/under on Simms and Nantz talking about it at 5 minutes into game.
Dude im not saying that and didnt imply it. Just saying i dont care whether or not Lowrey plays. He isnt anything better than we have seen before.
Haha, that's a great way of looking at it. I don't know, I've never been a fan. He strikes me as a typical case of great physical ability and ten cent head, which for a QB isn't going to cut it.
