My wife and I are attending the game in seattle and am curious if there is any place to look for tix where we might be amongst fellow boltheads?

This is a great move for the Chargers.  All they gave up was a conditional 5th or 6th round pick in next year’s draft.  Volek will immediately be the #2 QB, moving Charlie Whitehurst down to #3.  Volek has played in 25 games (10 starts) and has completed 60.3% of his passes for 3,505 yards with 26 TDs and 13 INT.  Volek has a career QB rating of 86.9.

The Chargers did whatever they wanted on the field Sunday against the Titans.  Philip Rivers got to throw some passes, completing 25 of 35 (71.4%) for 235 yards and a TD.  LaDainlian Tomlinson carried the ball 19 times for 71 yards (3.7 ypc) and 2 TDs, he also caught 7 passes for 51 yards (7.3 avg).  Michael Turner ran the ball 13 times for 138 yards (10.6 ypc).  Back-up QB Charlie Whitehurst ran the ball once and it was a 14 yard TD.  WR Keenan McCardell caught 5 passes for 58 yards (11.6 avg).  Antonio Gates caught 4 passes for 55 yards (13.8 avg).  Vincent Jackson caught 2 passes for 15 yards and a TD.

The defense just beat on the Titans.  The Titans ran the ball 19 times for 55 yards (2.9 ypc).  The Titans only completed 34.2% of their passes for 163 net yards passing.

This is a tough match-up for the Titans.  The Titans will try to run the ball with Chris Brown and Travis Henry, to slow the Chargers pass rush that was relentless last week.  The Chargers had 9 sacks last week, and when Kerry Collins is forced to throw too early he throws pickoffs.  If Collins has time, David Givens and Drew Bennett will get open against the Chargers average corners.

The Chargers will try to do what they did last week, run the ball and protect Philip Rivers from having to make too many tough throws.  LaDainian Tomlinson will have a field day against the Titans defense that is week against the run.  TE Antonio Gates is a mis-match for the safeties also.

This will be as bad as the Chargers want to make it.
