So based on averages the Chargers should win 21.6 to the JETS 20.9 by score.

That is if you are averaging.

summary:
we run, at their D
they pass at our D
....who ever does a better job wins the game

if both teams are equally successful at their respective jobs the TOP and turnovers are the tie breaker

PS (our passing stats reflect an entire rookie season, No one denies that Sanchez, or any rookie is much better in week 19 then week 1 making the passing stats mostly worthless)

GO Jets!

Well, thats not really true. As far as Defense goes, this Jets Defense doesn't really allow an average of 14.8 points per game, this Defense has really only allowed an average of 11.7 points per game this season. 49 points came against our Offense off of Pick 6's, Fumble Recoverys and Kick Returns for TD's.

Also, lets not forget, the Jets have the huge advantage in this game because A) The Chargers are a top 5 Passing Offense; The Jets are the #1 Ranked Defense against the pass.

And B) The Jets are the #1 Ranked Rushing Offense; This Chargers Defense is NoWhere near top 10 against the run.

If it's really true that Defense Wins Championships and Games are Won in the Trenches: The Jets have the big time advantage heading into this Playoff game against the Chargers on Sunday.

All in all: This should be one hell of a game.

Of all the stats, these are the ones that get my attention. You could say that the Jets and Chargers are somewhat evenly matched in other categories (SD has great pass offense, Jets have great pass defense, etc.) but this is night and day. The Jets have an excellent rushing game and the Chargers are mediocre at best on defense against the run. But here's my concern...

With the high-scoring Chargers offense, have they basically been defending against the pass and big play most of the time? In other words, have the Chargers simply let other teams run the ball and consume the clock because they've had pretty big leads and have a high-scoring offense?

I'm asking because I simply don't know. This looks like a good matchup for the Jets and, if we can run on them, it will simply come down to the Jets not making mistakes and turnovers.

I will ry to answer this. I have been saying this for a few days now, I think that if you base the probability sole on the stats on paper we should dominate. Maybe we will and I hope we can, BUT......Just ,like our defensive stats regrding point given up per game is skewed because of the pick 6 points given up by sanchez, the rushing stats the chargers rank at don't show the improvements they made as the season progressed and trust me they improved lot particularly in the red zone. Not to say we can't run on them. I just think it is going to be harder than people are suggesting because most people here are just basing it on the stats. I live in San Diego and I have watched evey single game this season, believe me they are not as weak as the rankings show right now...

Don't know if that answers your question but I hope it helps.....

Very helpful. Do you think they're balanced on Defense? Also, knowing the Jets, do you think the Chargers would have to commit extras to the box to stop the Jets or could they do it with a front 7?

The problem other teams have had against the Jets is that they put 8 in the box and the Jets have still been able to run the ball fairly well.

If the Chargers put 8 in the box and succeed in stuffing the run, we will turn to Sanchez and ask him to make plays and that's where the Jets offense will either live or die!

I wouldn't say balanced because they do have some weakness in the secondary on my opinion. Jammer is probably thier best DB. They can be beaten in the secondary with an experienced QB. McNabb and Palmer come to mind, now they didn't win but they put up some good yardage against the Chargers in these games. I am not confident Sanchez will be able to pass like they did just because he still has alot to learn and the Chargers will let you dink and dunk but they have been fast to the ball so not many people have gotten the upper hand that way.

Thier Linebackers are young and solid, the rookie Larry English has been pretty good at blitzing...better than Merriman in my opinion, I have seen English get through the o-line alot this year in the second half of the season so he is one to watch for. The D-line get switched out alot through out the game, that is how they have compensated for the hole left by Williams injury. Ron Rivera has done a great job with the Chargers Defense.

Personally if we were able to go no huddle from time to time I think we could tire them out. I have not seen that approach against the Chargers D this year. That could keep them on thier heels and create mismatches with tired D lineman and make it easiar to run. But i don't think Sanchez is ready for that especially not for the first time i the playoffs.

I hope we don't try to get cute and use that wildcrap though I think it slows the momentum when we are on a good drive. The success we have had with is is not worth the one good gainer we might get out of 8 attempts. Anyway i will shutup now.

This Jets Rushing attack could give this Chargers Defense serious problems. I'm not just saying this stuff either, I really mean it. This is the playoffs and as a fan... I'm taking this type of stuff serious.

Our rushing attack could be the reason why this Jets team starts to take over and dominate this game before the start of the 4th Q.

The Jets rush the Football for an average of 37.9 times per game.

The Chargers Defense has only defended the run for an average of 26.4 times per game this season.

Once the Jets get up 30 rushing attempts, the Chargers Defense could start to break down. We could be @ 30 rushing attempts before the end of the 2nd Quarter.

Once the Jets rush the rock about 40 times, the Chargers Defense would then be in uncharted territory, thats when I fully expect Shonn Greene, Thomas Jones, along with the Jets O-Line to start to dominating the game.

If the Jets rush the Football 45-50 times, about an average of 12 rushing attempts per quarter, the Chargers Run Defense could then become physically exhausted, emotionally drained and overall: Simply beat with no chance to make stops.

The key for any of this to happen is simple: The Jets MUST take an early lead as soon as possible.

This Chargers Defense Has allowed an average of 4.5 yards per carry, Ranked 24th in the league. Thats not good to begin with.

Keep in mind, this Chargers team has only seen an Offense rush the ball 35 times or more 1 time this year. Guess what? The Jets AVERAGE just about 38 rushing attempts per game!

The only team that ran the ball 35+ times against this Defense were the Pittsburgh Steelers. They ended up winning that game by 10 points. 38-28

36 rushing attempts, 177 rushing yards, allowed an average of 4.9 yards per rushing attempt, gave up 2 TD's against the Steelers.

I was worried about that Bengals game because they could stop the run and rush the Football as good as any team in the league. This Chargers team? This team is soft.

15 CIN W 27-24
16 @TEN W 42-17
17 WAS W 23-20
Hmm, these are interesting numbers although they beat some playoff teams (if only by a few points - DAL, BAL, PHI and CIN).

Agreed. And the Jets blew out Oakland 38 to 0. SD faced them twice and didn't come near scoring that many points.

Jets also faced and beat Indy, NE, CIN who are all playoff teams.

This Chargers team is a good team, I just feel their a little overrated. Also pretty soft.

The Chargers really struggle to rush the Football, they also struggle against the run; thats two signs that point to a potential playoff disaster.

What do the Chargers do best? Pass the Football. What do the Jets do best on Defense? Shut down the pass.

If it's really true that Defense Wins Championships and Games are Won in the Trenches...The Chargers are pretty much done for come Sunday.

After reading these stats, I feel much better. I don't think their team is as good as their record made them look.

Their Defense allows about what our offense produces. If our offense has an average day and our D stiffles their O, we should have a great day.

My favorite stats were the scores for the last few weeks.

Barely beating Washington, Cleveland, Tenessee.

I'm starting to feel good about this.

They murdered Tennessee on the road on a short week

Washington was a glorified scrimmage, Billy Volek will have no impact on this game

Cleveland's game wasn't as close as the final score indicated, they were up 30-3 and gave up points in garbage time, plus then the Browns ran off 4 straight wins.

The argument can be made that the Chargers are the best team in the NFL, and also the hottest team in the NFL. But that doesn't mean much once they kickoff on Sunday, I'm confident that if we will make this game a dogfight, but it can get ugly if we make mistakes and turn the ball over
