A good test
this is a good test for us. we can beat crap teams, and struggle against the upper tier teams. the chargers are not an elite team,but they are very good. If the jets can get it together against this team, they may be able to get back on track. i like what i see from Maybin, K. Ellis, and offensive line looked better against the dolphins, We need Sanchez to step it up and start fast. Lets get a win Go JETS!
This game actually gives me some concern at times.
Despite the fact that both teams have only beaten crappy teams. The Chargers are statistically better than us in most stats. Also their RBs are the ones getting all of the attention with Tolbert being their top receiver. We better learn real effing quick how to level Tolbert and make Matthews run into a wall.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!
Now lets get a G-D snack!!!
