Philip Rivers is a doucebag. That is all.

Time Traveling Bunnies: Does anyone who watched the game know what happened to Heyward-Bey?

WHY NO CATCHES?!?

He was throwing deep to ford until he got hurt, then to moore. Are you seriously starting DHB still?

Has Norv been fired yet?

The Chargers are moving to Riverside?

If they did, he might get a big head.

AdmirableSnackbar: If they did, he might get a big head.


i never flashed on it until last night. i was like, "farking hell, that cat looks like Barry Bonds + 10 years".

Maybe I haven't realy been paying attention but I sure do see alot of reporting about how one team lost instead of how the other team was simply better and beat them and talk about how good/better the winning team is doing.

Yeah, that's a good call by you. I knew he reminded me of someone but didn't realize it was BB till your post.

The Chargers were picked by some alleged experts to win the Super Bowl this year. Their amusing (and entirely predictable) series of failures are a big deal.

You make a better point though. Right now, the Raiders (and probably every other team in the AFC West) are simply better than the Chargers.

What ever happened to the Chargers leaving San Diego if they didn't get a new stadium?

There was a game last night? Seriously, though. I have seen numerous Norv Turner-coached teams. Paper champions, each and every one of them. He has a great offensive mind, but somehow lacks motivation/organization.

Wellon Dowd: What ever happened to the Chargers leaving San Diego if they didn't get a new stadium?

I think you're thinking of that Baldwin dude. If Bush got re-elected he was off to France or something.

So if Denver beats KC on Sunday, they are tied for the AFC West lead?

I like there this slide is taking them, makes it a better game for the Ravens in a few weeks.

San Fran scares me though.

Follow his career. Like I said earlier, he is an awesome OC. So, generally what happens is that he will coach for a while, have dramatic success in the first two seasons, but get bounced abruptly from the playoffs. Then the team will slowly disintegrate for about two or three seasons until he is fired. He will immediately pick up an OC spot, and after a few seasons, a team will say "OHMIGOD! NORV!" and bring him aboard, completely overlooking his failures as a head coach in favor of his successes as an OC.

/Norv is the poor man's Marty Schottenheimer

Broktun: So if Denver beats KC on Sunday, they are tied for the AFC West lead?

No, Oakland would have it outright at 5-4.

Denver, SD, and KC would be in a 3-way tie for 2nd/3rd/4th at 4-5.

It was BEAUTIFUL!

Broktun: So if Denver beats KC on Sunday, they are tied for the AFC West lead?

Not quite yet, since the Raiders win puts them at 5-4. If the Broncos win, Oakland will be all alone at the top of the division, with the Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers all 1 game back at 4-5.

If you can believe it...

Nah. Dusty Baker had one or two successes and has just been riding those. Norv is a good OC, and excellent one, in fact, but just not a good HC. I remember seeing a few games where Norv was the OC for the Dolphins. He had the defenses completely confused on most plays--they were dashing around,calling audibles (and time-outs) and just kept them on their toes. He is an expert in playcalling, personnel packages, and so on, and, rightfully, he should be an OC that wins all sorts of awards. Yet, he still gets HC jobs.

Congratulations, AJ Smith. You built a Super Bowl-caliber team and proceeded to destroy it piece by piece.

And this is going to sound strange coming from a Carolina die-hard, but I really hope Phillip Rivers can find a better place to play. He doesn't deserve Norv Turner.

UNC_Samurai: And this is going to sound strange coming from a Carolina die-hard, but I really hope Phillip Rivers can find a better place to play. He doesn't deserve Norv Turner.

They deserve each other. When one idiot fails to prevent his team from winning a big game, you know the other one will step up and ensure a loss.

Well, yes, Norv is a pretty good OC, but I was talking strictly HC level stuff.

This calls for REVERSE RIVERS

Time Traveling Bunnies: Does anyone who watched the game know what happened to Heyward-Bey?

He realized he's Darius Heyward-Bey.

The better question is what the fark happened to Vincent Jackson. Jim from Saint Paul: /not a chargers fan
//cannotunderstand how Norv Turner continues to be employed in the National Football League
///He *STILL* does not have a winning record after 13+ full years of being a head coach



He's a good offensive mind and a complete pushover. Which makes him attractive to people like Al Davis, Dan Snyder and AJ Smith.

What? The Chargers choked? That's unpossible!

Wellon Dowd: What ever happened to the Chargers leaving San Diego if they didn't get a new stadium?

I think the economy collapsing ended that stupidity.

/fark the Raiders, and fark Raiders fans

They should have drafted a QB like Eli Manning instead of the choke artist Rivers.

Probably not at liberty to say, since I never liked V-Jax, but didn't he hold out most of 2010? Maybe that and no offseason dulled his skills.

That's the game I refer to. Twas nice to hear the "Kuhn" chants.

McManus_brothers: Thanks, Ryan Mathews and Antonio Gates, for giving me a combined 11 points last night. Appreciate that.

I'm happy with the 20 and 29 that Bush gave me in my 2 leagues.
Man was that an awesome waiver pickup.
