Yes they have, but its bound to catch up.  Pats stadium isn't the place to be tired haha.

I'd rather play on a full week's rest with back to back road games in a different time zone.

Yeah; Chargers went into the Gus Bradley prevent special to burn clock.  Almost cost them though.

 

that's the risk they all gladly take

 

it rarely ever backfires

Yeah just saying.  It wasn’t an amazing performance today.  He got the job done but it’s not the type of game you come off saying “he can flat out coach.”  Just my opinion

Winning a playoff game on the road is always tough. The real test comes next week. If he wins two road playoff games He's legit

You almost always have to beat NE by outscoring them, and I think Rivers and the Chargers have a shot at doing that.  In no way could Baltimore have done that, so the right team won today.

 

I will be the biggest Charger fan of all time next week!  Should be a fun one.

 

As always, I hope Brady is physically hurt.

 

:lol:

I think your math is off.  If they win in NE next week it will be 3 road playoff wins.

Wimning smooths all edges. If Jackson’s team wasn’t winning he’d get way more criticism.

He doesn't go 6-1 if he consistently played like he just did.. he'd be 0-7. Dude was crapping his pants taking ridiculous sacks, poor ball security, just a horrible game. But certainly the worst of his career. He gave it to the Chargers 22-6 not long ago. Chargers adjusted, Ravens didn't and good Lord Lamar was awful today.

Ravens haven't been to the playoffs since 2014, started 4-5, and went on a nice little run with a rookie QB. Safe to say they feel good about their situation going forward. Chargers averted what would have been an epic meltdown. Maybe Rivers will get a little spark now that they've advanced.

We'll see next year, but that's what typically happens with gimmick QBs who can't make defenses pay with his arm.  DCs quickly learn how to shut them down.

It doesn't feel the same as always this year.  Brady is slowing down, at least some, and the team is weaker around him than it has been in recent years.  

 

I genuinely enjoy cheering against NE as much as I do cheering for Buffalo, so I'm already looking forward to the game next week.

As I said earlier, I think the Chargers felt confident in their gameplan to stop the Ravens O and didn't really open up the playbook for their offense because they will need it next week.

 

Lamar made some plays when the game was out of hand and the Chargers should have iced the game if not for a questionable hold call anyhow. I don't think they felt like they were losing that game at any point.

Certainly didn't end on a high note. We'll see next year. It should be noted the Ravens retooled their offense by week 10 overnight from Flacco and has to partially be why they were so gimmicky as well. Curious to see what a whole off-season of making an offense for him will do.

 

But he and the Ravens lost my benefit of the doubt. God **** he was horrible and ruined my 3 hours. He'll need to keep stringing a strong winning record next year with the defense he has to get me back on the train.

I want to see the Chargers win, but the odds are against them. If they can't run vs the Ravens, they'll lose.

 

At some point, we gotta blame Rivers right? His teams just don't get it done come playoff time.

He got it done!

I wish both these teams could move on.  

 

Love Rivers as a player and human being. 

 

Love that the Ravens are winning by playing defense and running in a “passing league”. 

It still wins; no offensive juggernauts this weekend, just great playoff defense and doing what it takes to win.  Bottom line is winning; the only trend in the NFL!

Jackson is a poor man’s Vick. Harbaugh looked like an idiot by not bringing Flacco in at halftime. The late TDs were fluky. Baltimore is an 8-10 win team every year with that defense but if Harbaugh hitches his wagon to Jackson it will spell his doom.

Good call on the game, but I wouldn't say it was totally out of hand considering they had the ball with a chance to score at the end. The Jackson stuff seems a little over the top. He's an odd player so clearly people will see different things. Disirregardless, you called a Chargers W and that's what occurred.

It's disirregardlessnessable.  Get it right.

I will agree if he can take down NE in Foxboro and I do agree “a win is a win”

I don’t know if I necessarily but that SD was holding back.  I think Baltimore’s defense was really good and stuffed them in the red zone which is why the game wasn’t a blow out.

Haven't read through pages. Are people finally opening their eyes and seeing that Lamar is just not an NFL caliber passer? I've been saying for the last month he's basically Tyrod 2.0. Lamar the better runner, Tyrod better passer. Lamar is terrible at reading coverage and usually gives up after his first read.  He's just awful as a passer overall

 

It boggled my mind to see national journalists rank Jackson above Allen. Based mainly on his record which was all due to a great D and great scheme for the run game. 

 

Again, It just boggled my mind so many local Bill fans and national "experts were so high on the kid. I had him 5th out of the 1st rounders, behind Rosen.

 

You run into a great defense and they eliminate the run game, make him beat you with his arm , the Ravens winning percentage goes down very Low...By far the most overrated rookie out of any position, imo.

 

 

It demonstrates how important it is to try and fix Allen's deficiencies as a passer. Running QBs can look good for a while, but for long term and consistent success you have to have a QB who is at least an adequate passer (and hopefully better).
