And Norv or his defense coach continue with a 3 man rush! They could have put the game away by putting pressure on Tebow!!! N orv T urner needs to grow a sack, he’ s the Eunich coach of the NFL!

“who let’s LT and sproils walk”

It wasn’t letting LT go that was the wrong move it was letting him go a year late! Don’t get me wrong I love LT and appreciate what he did for the team throught the years but they let Micheal Turner go and then got rid of LT the next year anyway!!
So now back to the subject at hand – How do you let Marty go after a 14 & 2 season and bring in Norv Turner? Good Grief. I have nothing against the man he’s just not the coach the Chargers need. From day one I’ve been irritated with that move unfortunately A.J. is “family” so fat chance of getting him outta there. The thing is he’s made some good moves but unfortunately the bad moves couldn’t be overcome…

norv needs to go look up norved on urban dictionary and get the whole picture on a inept coach who is predictable, unprepared, afraid, a loser 103-112-1 record, and of course is a clown

Personally, I would be more upset about that as it would have given the kicker a better chance. If I were the O-line, I would hang my head in shame.

A 40 yard field goal is much higher percentage-wise than a 52 yarder. I am pretty sure that most coaches get cautious when they are in overtime and get to what they consider a safe kicking zone.
And then, of course, Schottenheimer was a really good coach while Norv Turner- not so much.

But Norv won a playoff game or two… that’s what Marty couldn’t do..At least that’s what I heard from Charger fans after Norv won those couple of playoff games with Marty’s roster….I completely understood why SD got rid of a guy that went 14-2 to hire a guy who had a losing record as a head coach… oh wait.. no I didn’t. That said, at Wash and in Oakland, Norv didn’t have ANY talent on the roster… at least in SD he had a few years with some talent, that eventually got old, or was punted to the side of the road… and AJ sure hasn’t done him any favors by replacing said talent…. Things are slowly turning back they way they should be in the AFC West.. with the SD (or should I say LA) Chargers looking at their Big Brother up in Oaktown wishing they knew what it felt like to hold a Superbowl trophy.

That inevitably led to a loss.”

Yes Marty used to coach “not to lose.” the thing is, he didn’t lose many of those games. Norv Turner does actually lose much of the games. There really is no comparison between the two.

All time Head coaching stats…

Marty Schottenheimer: W=200 / L=126

Norv Turner: W=103 / L=111

Are there any questions who the Chargers would be better off with today?

Thanks so much for sending us Brees and Sproles. With them, our coach doesn’t go for the tie at the end of regulation.

You’ve lost 5 in a row, you’re a better team then a team that could lose 5 in a row, your hopes of any chance of going to the playoffs is on the line.

You go for the throat, you go for the win.

He doesn’t make the best choices but Hue Jackson took a big swing in the middle of the 4th quarter yesterday on the deep play to Murphy. That choice won him the game.

Has he ever heard of tendencies?

I didn’t watch the game yesterday, I only saw the play by play online, but I can’t even remember how many times I read:

1st down: Run, 1 or 2 yards
2nd down: Long pass incomplete
3rd down: Complete to RB, 6 yards
4th down: Punt

How about some play action, 1st down passes, 3rd down runs etc, etc!

And, oh by the way, you need an intermediate passing game in the NFL. Look at my Pats, thats all we have! The Chargers can’t get by only throwing long and short.

The Chargers offense has become predictable and as a result they cannot move the ball.

Norv should be fired ASAP. IMO that job would be perfect for Cowher.

I recognize and appreciate his ability to find and draft talent. In that regards he’s unmatched. But the way he handles contract negotiations always seems to put his team at a disadvantage. It also seems that the negotiations get personal with him which is not what you want from your GM.
