at this point I'm sure he's been told this many times. He has to know by now.

PLAY FOR 50 YARD FG





STILL OUTCOACH JOHN FOX

I think Norv's Tebow contain gameplan of minimal pass rush on every down was worse than the endgame stuff.

The broncos scored 16 pts on a billion possessions. I'd rather lol at norv than give tebow any actual non-lol credit

Well his other option was to let Tebow run all over the place. I think the Chargers had less faith in Tebow throwing regardless of pocket time. It was pick your poison for Norv.

But his end-game management was just awful so fire that loser. Chargers continue to be the most LOL team in ITL.

lol pick your poison against a tebow led offense.


OH NO WILL THEY SCORE 17 PTS VIA DEVASTING RUSHING ATTACK OR 14 PTS FROM AERIAL BOMBARDMENT

You mad.

u confused. i want the norv tebow fox lols to last forever


to be clear, if you are loling at norv for the defensive game plan, your lols are misplaced.

Lions already provided the perfect gameplan. Just copy&paste it, even if you execute it with lesser personal it's going to trigger chicken-runaround-Tebow mode.

So the gameplan for stopping Tebow is to convince the Broncos to have Tebow sit back in the pocket 30 times? Got it.

I thought Norv's defensive game plan was good.

I think Tebow is elite enough at running/vision to beat a run blitz scenario. Fox is not doing nearly any of the normal dropback stuff.

Lions gameplan wouldn't work as well if they did the exact same thing agian.

firing would be bad ducy

The actual mistake came prior to, or during the 2005 season, and it is not result oriented to recognize the mistake the Chargers made by putting themselves in the position where they were already fully invested in Rivers but then having second thoughts once Brees had his breakthrough in 2004.

Brees was just going to service the position until Rivers was ready and then he'd be allowed to walk. However, Brees had a very good 2004 and the Chargers put the franchise tag on him. At that point, they should have just bitten the bullet and traded Brees (actually making out better than they had planned because they would get 2 first rounders). Or, if they thought Brees was the long-term solution after all, they should have traded Rivers.

This is not hindsight. I recall this being an ongoing debate heading into 2005 with the understanding they could not keep both after 2005 and if they wanted Rivers long-term, they would get nothing for Brees if he just played out 2005. Yes, at that time Brees was performing very well and Rivers was a relative unknown - but, that is what the GM is paid to figure out.

As it was, if Brees was not injured, SD would have had to pay him top-dollar to stay and then get low-balled in any trade for Rivers as other teams would know that Rivers was not in SD's plans.

That is a mistake - especially if you consider how the Patriots handled similar situations with Brady/Cassell (and Brady/Bledsoe) before that.

The Chargers are gonna end up with a high draft pick after this season, I wonder who Norv Turner will select to join his team

If Norv isn't fired at the end of the year, safe to assume he's got some grade-A blackmail material on Spanos and/or Smith?

Norv obviously doesn't let his kicker use the bathroom

The guy was just filling up the celebration bucket to dump on Norv if they won.

haz Norv raped any young boys yet?
[not like this is a prerequisite... Illinos just fired that Zook dude
for going from 6-0 to 6-6]

Pretty sure he was mouthing "he was roughed" on the sideline after the Novak miss, so obviously a good call but bad luck and screwed by refs.

Should read fire Phillip Rivers

this is just like how all mlb teams will lowball Pujols this offseason because he has no other options than to play baseball.

not even close. Puljols is a free agent so he can shop himself to the highest bidder, or the one that most suits him.

If SD resigned Brees to a long-term contract, they are now holding one asset that they cannot use (name any team that has, or had 2 QB's making starter money outside of GB with Rodgers/Favre). Unlike GB that was waiting for Favre to retire, signing Brees makes it clear they would dump Rivers.

That lowers his value as the Chargers only option is to sit him on the bench and get nothing for him (quite different than your Pujols scenario) or trade him for what they could get.

Like I said, the mistake was letting things play out that far. if they traded Brees in 05 thay automatically get 2 First rounders as he was franchised.

Basically, SD traded 2 firsts for one year of Drew Brees. That was short-sighted.

Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton say hi!

Dalton was drafted because Palmer demanded a trade or retirement. Cincy wasn't going to carry two front-line QB's on the squad.

And Palmer was traded.

And Cincy got very good value for Palmer, unlike SD which got nothing.

Good example there.
