End of first quarter: The best thing right now is San Diego is not clicking. They have used two time outs and gotten called for four penalties. The WR's have done very little against Revis and the Jets secondary. But Antonio Gates has made some catches on 3rd down. He is excellent, I must credit him. I really don't know how he can be stopped. I liked Nate Kaeding missing another playoff field goal.
On offense, the Jets offense has been unable to get a first down on three possession. The Tiger formation has lost yardage both times it was run. And Sanchez has completed 1 of 3 passes for -1 yards. He looks very very nervous.
Second quarter: 7-0 SD. The Jets usually anemic pass rush is getting near Rivers, but they are not hitting him. That must change. They had better score on this possession, because this offense has looked horrible.
Late second quarter: didn't happen. Another punt. The Jets have reached Charger territory twice, but have come up empty both times.
Early third quarter: They are running better, I think Shonn Greene can be an All-Pro back. The Jets took their first possession of the half and finally kicked a field goal, so it's 7-3. Quick 3 and out for San Diego. This is an ugly, sloppy game, which is exactly what the Jets need. And the SD punter's kicks are amazing.
End third quarter: Weatherford punts the ball down to the 2. First play, Jim Leonhard with a huge INT, returns the ball 11 yards to the 16. First time the Jets are in the red zone. And a penalty on SD has moved the ball half the distance to the goal. First down Jets on the SD 7. A TD is essential here. I would look to Dustin Keller...
Early 4th quarter: I CALLED IT! Sanchez rolls out on 3rd down and hits Keller in the back corner of the end zone. 10-7 Jets!
9:40: Chargers get one first down. Mike DeVito sacks Rivers, Bryan Thomas and David Harris with some fierce tackles, capped off by Kerry Rhodes sacking Philip Rivers. And on the punt, Cotch returns the ball 25 yards to the 34. I'm feeling pretty good. I seriously think if they can get a field goal and force SD to score another TD the Jets will win this game.
7:26: To hell with a field goal! Greenie busts it 53 yards! 17-7! It was set up by a clutch 3rd down conversion by J-Co on a 3rd and 4. Could this really be happening? Why did Feely just squib kick? Chargers start at their 45. Terrible.
4:45: Kaeding misses another field goal, this one from 40 yards out! Jets ball! This is gonna freakin' happen!
3:30: San Diego came inches from blocking Weatherford's punt. Luckily, it somehow gets through. I now believe the Jets are meant to win. We are getting a lot of breaks. SD starts at the 32.
3:07: Vincent Jackson makes an amazing catch at the Jets 20. How he kept his feet in bounds and fought off double coverage, I have no idea. But then this jackass kicks the challenge flag! 15 yard penalty on the Chargers.
2:14: OK, SD is now pissed off. Sproles immediately with a 19 yard catch and takes it out of bounds. Four plays later, Rivers runs it in from 1 yard out. 17-14. One TO left for both teams. I'm a little nervous. Still feeling OK. Rhodes with an amazing play to get the sky0-high onside kick at the Charger 38. Enormous!!!
1:009: 4th an 1 on the SD 29. First down and the game is over. Make it, game over. Miss it, Chargers will probably tie the game. I would go for it.
THOMAS JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes it. Here we come Indy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JETS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J E T S JETS JETS JETS!!!!
