The Chargers did what needed to be done. That first TD to VJ should've been boken up by the DB, if not intercepted. That's what Jackson gives the Chargers though.

If you don`t resign Vincent Jackson there will be plenty of teams after him, I haven`t really seen him play last night but he was certainly ready to play last night.

I have to say my Chargers player of the year so far is split between El Captain and Garay. Rivers gets the headlines in SD and rightly so, but Garay has been nothing short of sensational. He's playing to a higher level than Jamal Williams did in his latter days of a Charger. He's been the key to our improved D.

Garay`s haircut must have taken hours, looks like hes going to be a big player too.

I dont mind admitting that I kind of hope you miss the play-offs so we don`t have to play you

It'd be nice to see Bill Cowher come back but I'd like him as the next Titans head coach.

I think him and Gruden will be getting a lot of attention this off-season, Gruden keeps saying hes happy with his media job(like Cowher did) but I think its more a case of them just waiting for the right job they want, I have a friend in America thats a Browns fan and he seems to think Gruden will end up there with Holmgren apparently being good mates with him but I just don`t see it with all the opportunities that he will have soon.

Jackson makes a huge play the week after my season ends

To rub salt into the wound one of my playoff opponents had Jackson and Chargers D. I'm 41-0 down already in that matchup!

Top weekend of sport on the horizon.

12am on ESPN - Heat v Knicks

Sun 4pm - Chelsea v United

Sun 6pm - Eagles @ Giants

Hope we are able to run straight through the Eagles. I'm hoping the weather slow's them down a little.

I personally think Rodgers will play just because it is such a vital game although I can't see us winning.

I must admit, that was my first thought.

However, Adam Shefter disagrees. He said that Rodgers decision to play or not will have nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with his future health. Different world in the NFL now he reckons. You can listen to it on the ESPN Football Today podcast (Thursday).

Could the Chargers make a real fist of making the Superbowl coming late?!

They've really impressed me the last few weeks against admittedly poor opposition (My Colts included )

Jackson looks like getting back to his best and Gates should be back soonish. With Rivers playing like he is they'd have to have a real good shout surely?!

If we get all our receivers healthy then we have a shot. Tolbert has been great this year too keeping the balance on offense. Our issue in recent years has been injuries. If we can keep our defence healthy and get into the playoffs with Jackson, Gates, Floyd and Crayton healthy, who knows? Norv will probably find a way to lose though.

For those who have ESPN. Watch the basketball at 12 tonight. If your patient you'll love it.
