Hello, Jags fans.  Thought I'd say hey.  I think this game may be closer than a lot of you think. 

 

I agree that if the Chargers were at full strength, a blowout would be in the cards.  But the Chargers have been crushed by injuries, and it's to the point it's getting worrisome for us.  (I forget which publication -- I think it was SI -- listed us as the #1 most hit by injuries team).  Look at the following list, which I borrowed from your "injury" thread:

 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">WR Keenan Allen Groin FP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">LB Jerry Attoaochu Hamstring DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">CB Brandon Flowers Hip FP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">TE Antonio Gates Hamstring FP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">SS Marcus Gilchrist Shoulder FP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">TE David Johnson Shoulder DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">DE Corey Liuget Ankle FP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">RB Ryan Matthews Knee DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">OL Rich Ohmberger Back DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">LB Manti Te'o Foot DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">CB Jason Varrett Hamstring DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">LB Reggie Walker Ankle DNP

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Putting aside the (hopefully minor injuries), the list of DNP is a major concern.  Especially when added to the players we've sent to IR, and PUP lists.

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">DEFENSE:

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Jerry Attaochu; Melvin Ingram; Reggie Walker (Two starting OLB's and back up OLB/ILB) 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Manti Te'o (starting ILB)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Jason Verrett  (starting CB)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Kwame Geathers (starting NT)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">OFFENSE

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">David Johnson (TE/FB - best blocking TE)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Ryan Mathews; Danny Woodhead (Best RB; Best utility player) 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Nick Hardwick; Jeromey Clary; Rich Ohrnberger (Starting center; Starting Guard; Starting G/Backup center)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The most depleted corps are the LB's; the O-Line; and the backfield.

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You know how they say it's not who you play, it's when you play them?  Will you are getting the Chargers at the perfect time.  I think we'll still take it, based on Rivers/Gates/Green/Floyd/Royal/Allen putting up a bunch of points.  But I won't be terribly shocked if we lose a squeaker.  Just please, for the love of all that is good -- let these teams emerge from this game unscathed by further injuries.   weat: 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">p.s.  I'm excited, too, to see Blake Bortles in action.  Thought you guys got the right guy out of this year's QB class.
