Quote:Com'on AM...You got to believe!

Well....it is west coast and it IS rivers....but he's another year older, maybe a tick slower....and the Jags have gotten much better in the right places. rivers....meet Telvin and company.    :pirate: 

"and the Jags have gotten much better in the right places"...

Have we? We've drafted some players who've looked extraordinarily good on paper; but we've not seen them do much of anything in the first regular season game. Fowler registered '0' sacks; in fact, did we sack Rodgers at all in that game? We certainly didn't disrupt Rodgers enough to effect the outcome.

 

..."You gotta believe"...

I look at the history of this team over the last seven years and I find little basis for belief. I'm not an advocate of 'blind faith'. Our history against the chargers has not been very good, at home and especially on the road. If I had to pick the winner of this game as if my life depended on it I regret to say that I'd have to pick the chargers for the W as Phillip Rivers is another elite quarterback like Rodgers and he typically has his way with this team. Our only chance is if we can get pressure on him. Based on what I observed in the packers game, I don't see us getting much pressure and giving Rivers too much time; result, game over and we're 0-2. The greatest secondary in the world can't cover if the quarterback has too much time.

 

I hope we win this game, but I'm not going to hold my breath. The chargers certainly aren't the packers, but they are nevertheless a formidable team with an elite quarterback... which has more often than not been our undoing.
