Right. Because they weren't beating Denver by 24 at halftime of that game, and Houston/New England didn't almost lose to the Jets, and Baltimore didn't get blown out by Houston.It's the NFL dude -- anybody has a shot against anybody. Nobody was picking the Giants to win the Super Bowl either of their Super Bowl seasons either. Just have to peak at the right time. This team has talent.
The Chargers loses three straight, two of which to teams that had 1 win at the time, the Saints and THE BROWNS. Then they beat a team that has not held a lead in regulation and who's only win comes against a team that has beaten the Chargers. Lots of talent there. Too bad Norv is almost as good at wasting talent as he is avoiding getting fired.
Imagine being a Colts fan. You have a rotten season...and draft Peyton Manning. After a great run, he's hurt and you suffer through another awful season. That nets you Andrew Luck.Tell me Colts' fans aren't glad they lost just enough to secure those picks. Imagine if a couple extra wins got them Ryan Leaf or just a top five pick in 2012. Teams like Kansas City never seem to draft good QB talent, as they relayed that stat tonight about the last KC drafted QB to lead them to a win was Todd Blackledge a quarter century ago. Meanwhile, Indy suffered through two bad seasons and ended up with one gem and a really great prospect. If you're a Colts fan, you're happy they lost those games-- and I bet a few of them were rooting for losses last season to secure Luck.Long story short(er): Yeah, sometimes it makes sense to absorb short-term losses for big long-term gains. And believe me: No Norv is a long term gain in San Diego.
Yeah, because look at all the success JP Losman and Trent Edwards have had everywhere else they've been. Or why nobody else wanted Ryan Fitzpatrick. I mean, yeah, **** Jauron's offenses were overly conservative and kind of sucked, but Losman and Edwards sucked just as bad.
Exactly all those ifs and almosts. The Giants also don't have a noodle armed quarterback, a defensive line that is dominate, and to top it off their head coach isn't a moron
Ummmmmm, there is only one head coach that has won his division more than 3 times in the past 5 years. I'm of the opinion that Turner's time is up in SD, but you're logic isn't helping that argument in least.
You do realize the Chargers were 13-3 three years ago? With a +134 point differential? Nevermind, I see a pattern developing in your posts.
Wade Phillips once went 13-3 with the Dallas Cowboys. And he, like Norv, is a better coordinator than head coach.
Personally, I've always felt that was a complete cop out in this age of specialization. How much input do you honestly believe Norv has on the defense? Right now the Charger defense is better than the offense and I don't think Norv deserves any of the credit for that. He was brought in to develop Rivers and allow a successful offense to continue to be successful. He's pretty much been an offensive coordinator his entire time in SD.As for Phillips, I'd wager most Bills fans wish they still had a coordinator instead of the head coaches they've been using since his departure from BUF. They haven't been relevant since he left. For that matter in the last 15 years the Cowboys best two seasons were with Wade Phillips as head coach.
