More of a threat - Rivers Arm or Tomlinson's Legs?
 
What do you think is more concerning or the biggest threat of the two to worry about come sunday night..

Rivers Arm or Tomlinson's legs?

Tomlinson is obviously either still not 100% healthy with the toe injury or he is no longer the home run threat and Rivers will be missing the big target in Chambers but has Jackson,Gates and co.

Ill go with Rivers arm, our front seven usually contains LT even when hes 100% healthy.

Rivers' arm right now. LT is hurt and not playing well right now. If Chambers doesn't play and with Gates hurt, it could be a draw.

I myself have really a tough time deciding which method the Chargers will try more in the early going

Will they try to send Tomlinson up the middle to see what Mayo and an elder Bruschi got or do they go shotgun and sling the ball - I really have no idea whats up Turner's sleeve in the early part of this game

I do know that Mayo may have to play his best game of the season so that Ladanian does not have a flashback game where he tore up the defense on the ground although its been a while since he has done that to any team.

I'm not all that worried about Rivers arm. The two biggest threats to us IMO are LT and Gates in that order. Hopefully the defense is up for the task. Should be a really good game.

Well in order for Gates to get the ball it has to be coming from Rivers arm so Rivers does matter in that regards.

Rivers is the main weapon of that team right now, but he can definitely be rattled mentally and physically if the pressure is put on him. If we can keep Rivers frustrated and protect Cassel we'll win this game.

Don't forget about Sproles. I can see a lot of screens and swing passes.

If both Chambers and Jackson miss this game, I'm going with Sproles. If not, I will go with Rivers. I think LT is so injured that he may hurt his team more than help it playing.

What is exactly wrong with Tomlinson?

Is his toe fractured,a small crack or is it just really really sore or is he just a big pus$y?
