Versus Revis, all WRs in elimination game January, 14, 2010 - By Tim Graham > http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/9203/versus-revis-all-wrs-in-elimination-game
Originally Published: January 14, 2010 1st & goal - By John Clayton / ESPN.com ~ ~ 3. New York Jets at San Diego Chargers: Jets head coach Rex Ryan is all about defense and running the football. The NFL is all about passing and scoring touchdowns. Ryan has gone against the odds all season to make the playoffs. Now he'll see if he can go against the odds and pull an upset against a great passer: the Chargers' Philip Rivers. In many ways, the Jets are the group you don't want invited to a passing party. They play great defense. They blitz more than any other team in the league. They have a rookie quarterback, Sanchez, who is dependent upon a successful running attack to make his play-action passes work.In the Jets' wild-card victory over the Cincinnati Bengals this past Saturday, things worked to perfection. Had Braylon Edwards not dropped a sure touchdown pass, Sanchez would have been perfect on six play-action throws. Now that backup halfback Shonn Greene has proved he has 100-yard capability, the Jets can attack the Chargers with two potent running backs. Thomas Jones remains one of the top backs in the conference despite being older than 30. There is no doubt that the Chargers will give up running yards, but defensive coordinator Ron Rivera has done a great job of rallying his defense to hold down offenses once they get into the red zone. The biggest concern for the Jets is Rivers. Sure, cornerback Darrelle Revis can take away wide receiver Vincent Jackson and limit the number of big throws in his direction, but Rivers still can throw to tight end Antonio Gates, wide receiver Malcolm Floyd and halfback LaDainian Tomlinson. Rivers continues to evolve as one of the top quarterbacks in the league.The test of this game is whether a running team can go deep into the playoffs. The Jets were fortunate in drawing the Bengals in the first round. The Bengals have lost speed and separation at wide receiver. Carson Palmer hasn't been throwing the ball as accurately in the final weeks. The Bengals were ready to be had, and the Jets clearly outplayed them. But the odds are stacked against the Jets this week. It's hard for teams to go cross-country and win. It's harder when the Chargers have the ability to score 30 points. This game will be physical, but the Chargers clearly have a big advantage. > http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playo...ist=clayton_john&page=1standGoal/09divisional

Final Word : Jets at Chargers January, 15, 2010 - by Tim Graham > http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/9254/final-word-jets-at-chargers
I don't know why media outlets keep bringing up Sanchez playing in Southern California as if it is some sort of positive. Mark Sanchez is NOT liked here, even among many USC grads. He's better off playing on the East Coast where most fans don't know his past.
well many of us here on the EAST coast hope that you guys hate Sanchez even more after todays game :beer:
As excited as I am over this game, it is still just a game. It pales in comparison to raping a girl here in SoCal, and having some deep pocketed USC boosters step in to make the girl go away. A win or loss probably won't affect a change in the way Southern California feels about Sanchez.
You apparently have NO clue what you're talking about, and if you're only interested in spreading bullshit and misinformed opinions, I suggest you take them elsewhere. The only people in Southern California who don't like Mark Sanchez are the ones he hasn't met. He's a class act, the kind of guy who takes time out of his schedule to call his 5th grade teacher after games and come visit her class, even to this day. You have ZERO knowledge of the situation if you think boosters are the reason it went away.

I want to see Rivers crying in his man-junk. Wait.....that's gay. I definitely don't want to see that. Carry on.
