The key will be for the Chargers to get ahead early and force the Titans to pass to beat them.

Definitely still alot of bad blood between these 2 teams ever since the cheap shots took place.

Its going to be a physical game but, the only thing that worries me are the injuries that the Chargers have right now. Each passing week fills more doubt because, of the injuries but, I think the Chargers have enough depth to win a close one. I just hope both teams can get threw this game without acting like a bunch of dumb*sses.

No need to for cheap shots this time around (hopefully). Should be a good game and hopefully the defense can limit can keep CJ from breaking to many big runs.

If you shut down the outside runs , CJ does have a problem getting yards but if he gets inside he still has that great vision and has a very good chance of hitting a homerun. If the Chargers play bend but dont break defense , the Titans will take 3-6 yards everytime.

Doubt it. It usually doesn't matter who's in on the other teams defense.

If the O-line hadn't been so horid earlier in the season and Tomlinson doesn't miss 2 games I actually think he would of had a good chance at another 1,000 yard season. He would either barely miss the 1,000 yard mark or barely crack 1,000 yards.

I am expecting a lot of physical play and general nastiness. Too bad Bullock got hurt because he is usually in on all the pushing and shoving matches.

I think we're going to get drilled. It's hard to contain Gates when your LB's are healthy --- but with both Thornton and Bulluck out, I'm not sure who is going to cover him. And our safeties are going to be busy shadowing "old man" Harper who can't keep up with anybody under the age of 35. I can see Rivers having a field day in this one.

The crowd will probably be a non-factor. I know a lot of people with tickets that are traveling for Christmas, so we'll probably have a good number of empty seats. The short week should benefit the Titans since we'll be at home and the Chargers are having to travel across the country, but that's about the only advantage I think we have.

I might be wrong about this, but I think the Titans/Oilers are 0-6 against the Chargers since 1992? VY in particular has had difficulties against the Chargers. Add in the fact that the Chargers are the hottest team in the NFL not named the Colts (who also handled us pretty well)... I just don't see this game going well for us.

Ugghhh.

Going to be at my mom's for Christmas and of course she doesn't have NFL Network.

Titans are hot, and do a lot of the things well, that the Chargers have a hard time stopping. I think the Chargers are the more talented team, but the Titans in the current configuration match up well with the Chargers and are at home. This will be a tough one for San Diego.
