Quote:Did you know that QB Philip Rivers leads the league with pass attempts and passes completed and 2nd only to Tom Brady in passing yards this season? The Jaguars struggle the most against the pass so even though the Chargers lost six games in a row it shouldnt be such a shock that they lost this week.
It honestly wasn't to me. I've seen Rivers plenty this year and knew how good he's been passing. Couple that with how terrible the Jags are at defending the pass, the game pretty much played out the way I thought it would.
Some more stats:
Chargers were 2-8 and had lost 6 in a row
Chargers were decimated with injuries......Jags were relatively healthy
Chargers can't run the ball........Jags have a stout run defense
Chargers got blown out by K.C. Last week, then they had to travel 3000 miles to Jax to play a game.
Chargers were single-dimensional......only had a passing game.
Chargers had no post season hopes........Jags were " in the running "
Chargers scored touchdowns in the red zone........Jags kicked field goals.
Jags scored 25 points......Chargers scored 31.

Missjag, I wasn't implying that he wasn't hurt, but that not as bad as it looked. He was taken off on a stretcher as a precaution, he has already twitted that is he hoing to be alright and it was only a concussion.
Section105Fan sees the truth.

Those guys know people fear the worst when they see a stretcher on the field. It is easy to see why they took so much precaution with him. But the word "only" can be deleted when they say he will miss the next two or three games.
