My theory that it isn't smart to coast (limp) into the playoffs was blown to smithereens. The three teams that did so all won in dominating fashion this weekend. The Chargers, who sprinted all the way to the regular season finish line, were one and done, as you say.

Actually I am not as harsh about the Chargers' play yesterday as you are. The Jets have one of the best defenses in the league. I love watching Darrelle Revis play, and how often do you say that about a cornerback?
