An onside kick with 3 timeouts and the 2-minute warning remaining? And you know the Jets are just going to run the ball? Stupid!
I knew Turner's sucess was too good to be true. I feel sorry for the Chargers and their fans.

They only had 2 timeouts, but it was still a bad call.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
While I thought they should kick it deep, the onside kick wasn't a terrible call. Either way, you needed to get a 3 and out....with the onside kick, even if the Jets punted, and pinned them inside the 5, their chances of moving into FG range in 1:10 aren't terrible.
As it worked out, because the Jets (correctly) went for it on 4th.... if the Chargers stopped them on 4th down, they'd have the ball in the same situation as if they had kicked it deep.

OK, I stand corrected, but I thought they had at least 2. The Jets call on 4th down was correct, almost a no-brainer --- a LOT to gain (ending the game) and little to lose -- not much to gain and much more to lose on a punt or FG attempt.
