    No I did not.

    Still they have to show confidence in their future HOF QB. Rivers has to play like he wants to advance.

    They're keeping Baltimore in this game. Ravens haven't done anything yet they're only down 6-0. The Ravens are home these games can turn like that *snaps fingers*

    I feel like I'm watching a game of vampires vs. the living. Some players run into the light, the others are shadowed in darkness.

    I just don't think this is a game where the Chargers can blow them out or run away.

    That was just a great clutch pass right there.

    *I think the most important thing is that Rivers doesnt make a mistake, if Rivers throws no picks, they win this game.

    Yea. And a turnover this deep in their own territory would make that happen. They have Baltimore offense figured out. Mistake free football win this game

    Should have had that pass, that play though was huge, keep Baltimore on the long field.

    It's hard to win on the road in the playoffs. Jets fans know that all too well.

    These games can turn quickly.

    Assuming that Baltimore will stay helpless in a tight game is wishful thinking.

    I think the biggest indicator on winning on the road is not turning the ball over.

    Lamar throws a pick.

    The Chargers biggest edge is at QB.

    They should be looking to bury Baltimore early. Force Jackson to play catchup (big deficit) or protect themselves in case Harbaugh makes the switch to the veteran Flacco.

    Taking chances against the top d in the shading your own end zone is how you let momentum swing. Despite the low score right now sam Diego is looking good. They are playing field position and being smart.

    You're aware Baltimore has a SB champion backing him up? Joe Flacco remember him?

    Still after all these years I still haven't gotten used to Rivers and his weird shotput throws. But it works

    Chargers are punching with the Ravens. No more finesse Chargers. Sign of a good head coach.

    Obviously and at this point I would be worried if Flacco came in. If I am the Chargers, I want Jackson in there as long as possible, I think Jackson gets the rest of the game.

    "bury Baltimore"

    How many #1 defenses get buried at home? Would I like a TD at this point for LA? Of course but right now the Ravens offense is doing nothing, and Rivers is not turning the ball over or making a mistake that gives momentum to Baltimore.

    Well, boys and girls, I am off to a wedding, so I won't be able to monitor these games very closely. Have fun, go Chargers (I guess), and go Eagles (definitely).

    This is one of the best game plans, and games I have seen. The Chargers are playing very very well, especially Philip Rivers.

    Ken Wisenhunt is doing a good job.
