Week 3: New York Jets at San Diego Chargers (live blogging)

Monday Night Football on ESPN. Jets vs the Bolts. The Jets (1-1) are coming off a 19-10 loss against the rival New England Patriots. The Chargers (0-2) are coming off a controversial 39-38 loss to the Denver Broncos. Before that, they lost a heartbreaker to the Carolina Panthers that was decided on the final play.

I will be doing some live blogging with this game as well.

Update, 8:40 pm- I think the Jets should line up Keller a few times and throw to him too. He could be a valuable asset for the future (though Chris Baker is now locked up for a few yrs).

Update, 8:43 pm- Great playfake, bad execution. Hey, he passed it to Keller too.

Update, 8:44 pm- Wow, Ben Graham's punt traveled a fair distance. Not bad for someone who was cut earlier in the week and resigned because their replacement punter sustained an injury.

Update, 8:47 pm- David Barrett with an INT returned for a TD. Great pick by #36. Revis, Rhodes, and Lowery have been the well-known defensive backs for the Jets through the first 2 weeks of the season, but it doesn't really matter here. 7-0 Jets.

Update, 8:53 pm- Barrett almost had INT #2 right there. Hit him in a bad spot, right in the hands.

Update, 8:55 pm- Nice play by Lowery. The 4th round pick from SJ State has been key for the Jets' defense.

Update, 8:57 pm- Mike Tirico just said that David Barrett is headed to the locker room. Wonder why...

Update, 9:00 pm- Lowery broke up the pass and forced a 4th down for the Chargers. 7-3 after the Kaeding field goal.

Update, 9:06 pm- Lucky that Cromartie didn't catch that.

Update, 9:07 pm- Doesn't matter any more, Jones fumbled it and it's San Diego's ball inside the 20.

Update, 9:10 pm- Akward play by Rivers. Bobbled the ball, than wanted to hand it off to Tomlinson, than took it himself.

Update, 9:11 pm- Tolbert was wide open in the end zone, bad coverage by the Jets. 10-7 Bolts.

Update, 9:15 pm- Keller again...

Update, 9:18 pm- Cromartie redeems himself with an INT and returned for a TD.

Update, 9:20 pm- Predicting a long runback by Leon or Brad Smith

Update, 9:21 pm- Called it. To the San Diego 4 yd line.

Update, 9:22 pm- And here comes the conservative, Schottenheimer play-calling

Update, 9:23 pm- Favre with a redzone TD pass to Coles. Finally, some faith in #4. 17-14 Chargers now.

Update, 9:25 pm- Though I don't like the phrase "Mangenius", that was some trickery. Too bad it didn't go Gang Green's way.

Update, 9:31 pm- With the exception of Barrett's INT, the Jets' secondary has been awful. The deep ball has been thrown many times by Rivers and Chambers just caught a TD pass, wide open in the end zone. 24-14

Update, 9:40 pm- That was Favre's 2nd INT tonight, 1st by Weddle.

Update, 9:50 pm- This game got tough to watch after Weddle's INT. It just got tougher to watch as Rivers threw another TD pass, but this one to Antonio Gates. It's 31-14 Bolts and I doubt Favre can lead the Jets to a comeback.

Update, 9:59 pm- Wow, Graham with another nice punt. Something must have changed...

Update, 10:36 pm- That just about does it, down by 24 with 4:47 left in the 3rd. They would need some comeback to win it. The way the Jets are playing, San Diego will have a 30+ point lead
