Norv Turner's game plan was to rely on running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Turner to set up QB Philip Rivers and the Chargers' play-action attack.

Angela’s incoherent thoughts on what was the 2008 NFL Divisional Round
Published 1/14/2008 by Angela at Boston Brat

No pushing, shoving, screaming, etc. Normally, after an emotional playoff game like that, I usually end up disliking the opponent. Not this time. Jacksonville, you won me over. Now go get that AFC South division in ‘08! I was anticipating a Patriots victory on Saturday night, but I wasn’t expecting this: Indianapolis loses to San Diego, 28-24.

No Tomlinson, No Rivers, No Problem

That is to say, no problem for the Chargers this afternoon as they upset the Indianapolis Colts. However, if San Diego goes into Foxboro next weekend without, or with a damaged LaDainian Tomlinson, Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates they're going to be in all kinds of trouble. Might as well go ahead and chalk up New England in the Super Bowl if you hadn't already done that after Week 9.
