Jets Knock Chargers Out of Playoffs with 17-14 Win

What team was that?  The team that has made a reputation for not turning the ball over, not killing themselves with penalties and having an un-stoppable offense led by Norv Turner and Philip Rivers was not on that field on Sunday.  Rivers played bad (as did his offensive line).  Norv's play-call was uncharactarically bad.  The offensive line was dominating in pass protection.  Vincent Jackson committed the world's stupidest penalty.

The Jets team was better than I expected.  Their defense stopped the unstoppable offense and their offense got progressively better throughout the course of the game.  Norv Turner seemed to be completely outcoached for the first time in the playoffs with the Chargers (that's just my opinion).  Nate Kaeding looked like Nick Folk Jr.  Philip Rivers looked like the shaky QB with bad receivers.

I'm not even angry.  I'm stunned.  Since halftime, when I was feeling very confident, I watched the game with amazement.  I never imagined that Rivers would be having problems with leading his team (why was it taking so long to line up) and communications (nobody seemed to be on the same page).  I never imagined that the defense would play such a strong game and the team would lose.  I never imagined that Norv (who never got that extension, by the way) would look so ridiculously helpless to motivate his team.

Sam's in charge of Bolts & Dolts, and I'll add my two cents to his (predictably angry) version tomorrow in the comments section, but here's a short list of Bs&Ds.

Bolts:

Antonio Gates (1st half)

Ron Rivera

Kevin Burnett

Eric Weddle

 

Dolts:

Antonio Gates (2nd half)

Philip Rivers

LaDainian Tomlinson

Offensive Line

Nate Kaeding

Norv Turner

Agreed.

They played well. Even as well as they played, we still “should” have won. Kaeding’s misses were nothing to do with their D…. Rivers’ 1st INT was a bit of a fluke but a great play by Revis nonetheless; the 2nd INT you could say was informed by the D the Jets played all day, but it was just a bad, bad throw (or a miscommunication with Gates), and was a pick I could have made.

On the other hand, the Chargers had 3 fumbles or near-fumbles which could have been turn-overs and weren’t. One of those was on special teams, but the strip sack of Rivers sure wasn’t, and even though the Floyd drop ended up being an incomplete pass, that was a very nice defensive play….

Still, as with comments above (and below), with the things I mentioned and all the stupid penalties, I will continue to assert that we beat ourselves in this game more than we had it taken from us.

The Jets, though, did what they had to do to hang around and converted the two TDs in the 4th quarter. (Ugh.)

Saying your team lost the game vs their team won

That’s a cop out plain and simple. (One that I’ve admittedly used before as well, but don’t any more).

The Jets played a better game…yes.
The Jets didn’t make mistakes…yes.
The Jets won the game…yes.

How is it a cop out? It’s putting all of the blame on the Chargers themselves. That’s the opposite of a cop out.

I think this is a bit harsh.

Top billing under dolts, no doubt. That sucked hard, but I wish Kaeding well: he doesn’t need our ill-will, and he’s generally been a pretty good kicker.

That said, if this team don’t win a SB before the window closes, I’ll never really forgive him.

and that’s not to completely discredit norv, for he has done a nice job. unfortunately, it isn’t good enough. the fans want a championship. the players do too. after looking at their eyes, listening to their post game speeches, i think this team will benefit from a new leader. i think by keeping norv the team risks a non-playoff season. they’re heartbroken and their spirits are broken as well. they need new life. they need it while they still have arguably the most talented players (including defense and offense). hopefully they can find an every down back in the draft or via free agency. would cowher consider san diego? beautiful city, great qb, talented defense. they should call him up.

Defense deserves a bolt for the most part

The Jets scored on a short field a field goal and a long run. If you tell me our defense holds them to 17 i say we win 9999999 out or 10000000

Holding them to 17

Works when the team that you hold to 17 doesn’t give up a league leading low of 14.8 per game. As your LT said, “That was the best D we faced all year.”
Happy for the win. Greatful for the breaks. Best O we faced all year.
I think you should have gone to Gates more, the way the Pats kept feeding us Welker. If we can’t stop it don’t stop. Gates and Jackson are beasts, wish we could borrow them. Kicker chocked, (ask him who do we make check out to). Just kidding good game.

by amrson69 on Jan 17, 2010 11:58 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Scoring 14...

This offense knows that the defense will almost always give up between 13 and 24 points. If the offense can score three times, we should win 2/3 of the time. But no team can afford to miss a bunch of field goals, and this team is no exception.

Ya this team had a streak of 20 point games that went to last year

If Kaeding doesn’t miss those we win, It was the best D we faced all year but as I’ve said before no one can convince me the jets won that game because the chargers lost it.

Especially when you take into consideration the field position on the turnovers

The D did pretty well. They gave up the one long run to Greene, but otherwise played very well.

hi everyone newbie here

and this is my first post here on this site. well, inasmuch as i am still numb to the bone from witnessing yet another epic collapse by our talented team i am left with these impressions.

not facts, or stats, just what i saw…

i was estatic with our d in the first half. we were killing them on that side of the ball.

i was confused that we were not attacking them through the air immediately. we were playing safe with the run game. what happened to our fierce, precise pass attack?

i see that the jets have an excellent defense TODAY, and they are stout.

after battling for that first TD and only giving up a FG, we’re on the right track even with some penalties.

now for the 2nd half…

mid way through the 3q, i see a shift in power and hear it in the crowd. i’m watchin’ it on the tube, but i still feel a twinge in my gut.

now i’m starting to call the o plays, run or pass. i’m not that smart but if i can figure it out…

fast forward to mid 4q and i’m now yelling obsenities, mumbling wtf?, and wondering what happened to the play calling on both sides and the now senseless penalties?

i don’t wanna hear about dvoa, and other such stats. i wanna know why this team always implodes.

i’ve been a loyal fan since the 70’s. i know some teams have yet to reach the sb, but i saw the best game this year vs the titans, and knew, knew we going all the way this year.

i am still scratching my head, go figure.

The turning point came in the 4th.

Playing from behind, Norv runs LT up the gut on third down and is booed heavily for it. That’s when the crowd fell out of it.

I don’t blame guys for being guys. I certainly wouldn’t blame SP or Coop for drowning their sorrows on a night like this.

English will be a quality NFL player. I share your concerns that he’ll never be a star, but frankly star OLBs are overrated ‘cause they collect all the sexy stats. That’s not great for a first-rounder, but the year’s draft on the whole actually looks pretty good: forget for a moment who was taken when, and you have:

  • A starting RG who’s a very good pass-blocker.
  • A starting SS.
  • A project DE with highly-visible upside.
  • A project OLB who looks like he’ll be a player, but probably not a superstud.
  • A backup/project OG/C
  • A starting DE (undrafted)
  • Good undrafted projects at RT, CB/S

Only in Regular Season

Kaeding is good but this is third time in three playoff games against the Jets that he choked. WTF about the decision about the onside kick and Weddle cannot even tackle.

Carney was legit but couldn’t hit past 45. Looks like Kaeding can’t hit in the postseason.

The simple problem with Kaeding...

… is he takes it all too seriously! He gets inside his own head. He gets out there and thinks, “Oh, golly, I really need to make this kick. Gee, shucks, we’re dead if I miss it.” He needs to learn to NOT CARE! That’s what Carney did so beautifully.

so while i think the hate on norv during the season was pre-mature, obviously he needs to look at himself first when assessing what went wrong yesterday, and figure out how to breed a mindset that helps them win in the post-season. as my dad says, the chargers always win in december. the problems come in january.

I know that Weddle had a sack

and quite a few tackles, but I just can’t see giving him a Bolt after the Eric “Speed Bump” Weddle touchdown that Greene scored.

Also didn’t think that the O Line desered a dolt, they played against the best D in the league and for the most part gave Rivers adequate protection. The Chargers just couldn’t finish convert third downs or finish off drives.

by JeromeB on Jan 17, 2010 5:26 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

No Bolt for Weddle

No Dolt either, but his good plays were counteracted by the missed tackle on Greene…. Without that big play against us, we still MAY have won.

[And (at least) TWO dolts for Kaeding (not three, although I suppose each miss could be considered worth 2 Dolts EACH, so maybe he gets FOUR Dolts): you can’t expect him to make a 57-yarder (which would have given him some redemption for the first miss…).]

No Dolt for VJ

The unsportsmanlike penalty against VJ was highly questionable — and didn’t cost us a thing: it wasted 10-15 seconds which ultimately didn’t matter anyway…. We scored on the same possession very shortly thereafter — and then couldn’t stop them on that last 4th and 1.

If Floyd gets a Dolt, it’s not for the play you mention, which was ruled an incomplete pass after the over-rule (and the challenge), but for a needless block in the back on a play that Jackson picked up big yardage on…. That would have taken it to the red zone, and we eventually got no points on that drive…. Of course we might have stalled, and Kaeding might have missed even a chippie, but that was big.

they should've

used gates more. coverage was obviously good. needed more crossing patterns instead of LT runs on 1/2 downs. i remembered turner saying in an interview “we try to get a new 1st down on 1st and 2nd downs” how is giving the ball to LT a 1st down?

Exactly!

Gates was a man on fire for the first half, he should’ve been used much more.

Yep

As I’ve been saying here all year — and again this week, there’s no reason not to pick up 6-7 yards on throws over the middle when you CAN … (meaning they are and WERE capable of it…).

Revis made one play on Legedu in the first half stopping a key 3rd down over the middle, and Gates dropped 2 passes over the middle in the 2nd half; otherwise, that part of the field was mostly open, and we were very successful when we went there….

I give Norv a Dolt for poor play-calling, esp. with regard to this.

And I agree: give Rivera a Bolt. Why not? — Gotta give one to someone….

The Jets didn't beat the Chargers

The Chargers beat themselves. Big difference.

I wouldn’t exactly be gloating about this one if I were in the Jets position. This loss would be much easier to stomach had the Jets outright beat the Chargers. But instead, the Chargers beat themselves and lost the game themselves.

I am one of the biggest Charger

fans around, so I am not trying to bash the Chargers. It just gets old to hear the same weak stuff after a team loses. “They didn’t win we beat ourselves”.
“If we played them 10 times we would win 8”. etc etc

Sometimes you just have to man up: The Jets beat us. And we only got to play them once, they beat us once and thats it. Excuses are for losers. Since we were the losers this week I guess we can make some, but the fact is we got beat.

Beat ourselves I can’t be convinced otherwise because Kaeding had a crappy outing and it wasn’t the same team. I give them some credit but not all of it.

Those aren’t excuses. Saying the better team won would be excusing their poor play that led to this loss. Saying they beat the Jets 8/10 times is just acknowledging just how badly they played on Sunday to lose this time. We aren’t making excuses. Furthest thing from it.

You are probably right

excuses is not the proper word for it.

But on Sunday the Jets beat us (the Chargers), we just have to man up and take it. Perhaps saying things that make less of the Jets victory make a lot of people feel better, but not me.

I don't think it should make anyone feel better

Does it feel better to choke or to give it your best and still get beat? You could probably have a whole fan post about that.

There are a large

number of people who play sports, and are fans of teams, who do feel better by thinking that their loss was a fluke or just a bad game at the wrong time. It makes them feel good still “knowing” in their heart that they were (are) the better team but the sport gods just didn’t smile on them today.
Part of being the better team or player is not choking when it counts the most.

It doesn’t make me feel better either. If anything the fact that they blew this game rather than playing their best and losing makes it worse.

I did not expect a replay of the Patriots game 3 years ago.

I give the Jets that they played a smarter, more controlled game than we did. Otherwise… 4 trips to the divisional round with nothing to show for it. And in 2 of those four losses, we threw up all over ourselves, playing our worst game of the season when it matters most. I have a sneaking suspicion I will be more angry re-watching for the review of this game than I am right now.

But I STILL don’t consider the Jets ALL that GOOD, actually. A shade above mediocre. Yes, they beat us today, and they deserve credit; but we beat ourselves: penalties, the 2nd Rivers interception, and 2 of Kaeding’s misses. We were below mediocre.

I respect the Jets for playing well enough to get to this point

(even though they got there by Indy’s throwing in the towel in Week 16 and the Bengals giving a half-assed effort in Week 17), INCLUDING playing well enough to win today; BUT the Chargers choked. No other way to put it.

Now of course the Jets had something to do with that, but the way we played today we might not have beaten, gasp, any team in the NFL which had more than 5 wins all season. Our other 3 losses this season were to the Broncos, Steelers, and Ravens, and offensively this was the worst game we played all season.

Defensively, it was not; but despite the Jets “#1 running game” (according to # of yards only), the Jets are not exactly an offensive powerhouse, so that no doubt had something to do with our good defensive effort.

If you want to think (and assert/argue) that the Jets played a “great” game, that’s your right, but I’ll stick by my above comment. And, again, if you win it all, obviously my respect will grow….

(And, in fact, then maybe I’ll feel less crappy about this loss…. But don’t think I’ll be rooting for the Jets: I can’t stand Peyton Manning, so I don’t know about next week; but I’ll be rooting for the Saints all the way…. If you can shut down the Chargers, Indy, and then the Saints or the Vikings, you can bet you’ll have EVERYONE’s respect.)

I think it’s harsh to put him on the Dolts list today. He had the one bad pass that was picked, but you can’t fault him on the other one. Rivers kept this team in against a tough D.

I give him an Almost-Dolt.

One pick— the Revis “no-way-did-that-just-happen” out of Floyd’s hands— wasn’t strictly his fault, but it’s what happens when you challenge (I now concede that Revis is) one of the league’s elite corners. The pick by Leonhard was abysmal judgement.

But if that was the only problem the Bolts win this game

He carried the team this year and in this game. The D showed up big, but they were in this without a running game. Every QB makes some mistakes, especially when the opposing D doesn’t have to worry about the run. He played pretty well today, good enough to win in my opinion.

Three strikes and you're out (maybe)

That’s two choke-jobs against the Jets in the playoffs. Yes, the first one was when he was a rookie, and these today weren’t even at the end of the game for the tie or the win; but if he does this again next year (or the year after that?), you have to consider replacing him….

I'll look at the sports section next on draft weekend.

OK, fine, I’ll take a peek in the first week of March to see who’s been cut. TBH, I hate sports. I like football because it’s a great game: so many moving parts doing so many different interdependent things at the same time. Nothing else comes close: soccer’s boring, basketball and hockey don’t put enough bodies out there, baseball’s all about individual effort. So this was my sports season. Well, I might catch the girls playing volleyball while I rollerblade South Mission, but you know what I mean.

Not I

I don’t root for Kobe. Sorry. Never will. And Phil is a fraud with all his zen stuff. Sure, you’ve got to do a good job when you’ve got the most talent in the league, but he’s only proven that he’s good with a loaded deck…. Still GOOD with that loaded deck, granted….

by jctess on Jan 17, 2010 6:09 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Nothing the matter with taking the (relatively) "easy" path,

but one just has to acknowledge that’s what Phil did — with taking the Lakers job. Now if he’d gone to a place like the Knicks and taken a previously bad team to the playoffs (not necessarily even advancing far into them), I would respect his coaching ability a lot more.

It’s like the Yankees winning the World Series: they still have to do it, but with that payroll and all the players they can have/buy with it, they SHOULD contend for it every year. Does that mean Joe Torre is a nothing-manager? Of course not. Does that mean Phil Jackson is a bad coach? Hell no. That’s not what I’m saying.

Is he a better coach than Red Auerbach now that he has won more titles?… MAYBE. But does it mean that Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach are the best coaches of all time because they’ve won the most titles?… It does not. (Given how many more teams there are now, Jackson may have even been a better coach BEFORE he surpassed Auerbach….)

this is true

I can’t argue with that; I know my position is not the usual one: I also know I used the word “fraud” above, but that’s not with respect to Phil as an overall coach.

And maybe it was unfair: I just think sometimes he uses that approach, and other times he doesn’t. That’s cool, and maybe totally appropriate. He’s just not that way all the time, which makes him hypocritical to SOME extent….

Hey, we’re all imperfect (and probably even hypocritical) to one extent or another…. I’m interested in Buddhism and the zen philosophy, and even though I’m hardly a good practitioner myself, I’m maybe more attuned to it than I “should” be when it comes to how it’s supposedly being applied to a professional team sport….

in a professional sport, a zen philosophy cannot be completely applied. in some cases you need to give players an earful if they are not doing their job or something like that…

Withthis Offense

The kicker shouldn’t be in position to lose the game for us. The Chargers played without discipline or maturity, and it cost them. To me, at least, this looked like the pats 2006 all over again. I want to say the lack of discipline is on Norv, but at some point the players are responsible for themselves and somebody has to step up. Looked like Coop was trying to get people chilled out but the emotion got the better of the team. I feel like we need somebody to be a leader in these situations and the existing players and coaches don’t seem to have it. I can only give blame to poor execution, and though that comes from the top I still feel Norv is our best bet, though I would rather have him at OC. And people ought to lay off Kaeding; I’m pissed at him but he’s still the best we’re going to get and one of the best in the game. Hell of a day.

I don’t know that we keep Sproles or LT, but with our O Line specializing in pass protection we need a back that can break some tackles. Sproles can squeeze underneath but it’s unreliable.

But, this was a coaching match up
I got a D that can stop your O vs. I got an O you cannot stop
Well, Rex won that
Norv out analyzing the pile on Cro’s almost lost fumble on the kick return just showed me he was panicked. Like Marty in Jets game he lost, where he ran out on the field.
We have Rivers, with decent protection with Gates, VJ, Malcom, pass catching HB and TB’s and THIS is the best game you can call? Sickening.

My take...

This was a very good team who got in over their heads on this game. The number of stupid preventable mistakes was astounding and I believe demoralizing. Sorry to say, but I believe kicking that flag was the symbolic death nail for this game. Yes, the drive still resulted in a touchdown, but it revealed the lack of cohesion on the team. Can you imagine a man like VJ, with such talent and physical tools making a stupid judgment call like that? Shaun Phillips? Head butting? My lord… So, in the end, the lack of fundamental character led to the team playing below its talents.

Still, this was a very good team that made a very good run and was very fun to be involved with these last months. Thank you Chargers – see you next year!

by Chilango on Jan 17, 2010 7:09 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I think that's an overstatement

I just watched the game again. The delay and false start penalties hurt a lot in the first half. That, along with the missed 36 yd FG really hurt. Jets seemed to make some adjustments at half time and eliminated what little running game was left and got more heat on Rivers. I think the FG, penalties, and the better adjustments by the Jets was what made a difference.

I think the kicked flag cost some time that MAY have given the Bolts another possession if they could stop the Jets last drive.

I'm still in disbelief

at least I’ve had this thread to confine to ….

Our team was so mature, so in controll, so unphased all season, the team was unfocused, its like they all recieved bad news right before the game… Did the team dog die or something I mean WTF?

Kaeding is good, i agree that in this offense the kicker shouldn’t be the determining factor. I’m not a Norv ‘fan’ per-se, but I think he’s a pretty good coach, there were a few calls I didn’t like today. Crazy fake handoff play? Onside kick? Also, I"m as big of a Rivers fan as you’ll find, but I have no explanaiton for that 2nd pick he threw, i mean it was right to the defender, can anyone shed some light on that? Or was that just a random brainfart by #17?

Main thing for me, were the penalties. It all started with that high snap, i swear we hadn’t had a bad snap all year (from what I remember) that pretty much set the stage for this game. Phillips w/the headbutt, Jackson with the kick (although both of those were questionable, the ref’s probably shoulda swallowed their whistles) and the numerous false starts etc.

I’m confident we can have another great year next year, but all this hard work, for nothing.

Dolt to Norv...

Disagree. I think Norv does deserve some blame. Maybe most of it, but I’m not sure yet.
The play calling, with all the 1st down runs up the gut was designed to not lose the game, rather than to win it. Even before the game everyone was trying hard to not jinx themselves, based on the quotes I heard. The problem with that type of attitude is that when things go badly early on, everyone collectively tightens up and thinks to themselves, “oh no, here we go again”.
I’m thinking that a coach with more of a fire breathing attitude will help us post-season.
Someone with enough confidence to inspire confidence, not carefulness.
I credit Norv for his stick to it methodology for helping get us to the playoffs, but I’m thinking this isn’t enough. I was hoping that River’s passion and fire would make up for Norv’s conservative play calling, but I think that our coach’s attitude infected our players confidence and turned into a self-fullfilling prophesy.

Bring Back Tobin Rote, Keith Lincoln, Paul Lowe and Lance Alworth

I don’t know -- the Chargers should have been the better team here. Rivers proved that he is not yet an elite NFL QB. Norv didn’t step up as a coach and …… the rest of the team likewise didn’t display the urgency necessary for a team to put themselves in position to be an elite team.

Well said, and that's the bottom-line.

All the penalties. Dropped balls even by Gates. Kaeding’s misses…. WAY TOO MANY mistakes. And that’s how you lose a home game in the playoffs after the bye after having gone 13-3.

So the question is

Should the Chargers actually be in a similar position next year, do they play for the number 3 seed just to avoid the bye? Oh wait, that didn’t work so well for the Patriots.

Yes I realize circumstances were different

But the last time we had the first-round bye, we played with a ton of mistakes and again, we lost the game, the Jets/Patriots didn’t necessarily win the game.

Whereas when we actually need to play each week, the team keeps the momentum going.

by creanium on Jan 17, 2010 9:35 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Not sure what to tell you.

It’s baffling. Other teams come out just fine after byes, as we witnessed this weekend. Even the Colts, who historically struggle after them.

I don’t think we’ll ever know what happened. It’s just so out of character. It’s not like this team wasn’t in other similar, stressful situations this season. When they fell behind to the Giants, when the Cowboys and Bengals tied up the game late, they reacted much better. Especially towards the end of the game it seemed like they let their frustrations get the better of them—Jackson kicking the challenge flag, and whatnot. That’s why it’s so unusual, because they faced adversity earlier this season and responded so well.

Like I said, I just don’t think we’ll ever know what really happened.

Beats me

I was convinced that this team was more mature, they had learned from their mistakes, and 2006/2007 was behind them. They finally had everything together this year and were firing on all cylinders.

Then they betray me like this and beat themselves out on the field, yet again. If we had straight up lost to the Jets, that would be one thing, but this is gut-wrenching. Apparently two weeks of nothing but practicing got the Chargers used to playing against themselves, and well, the Chargers lost to the Chargers today.

by creanium on Jan 17, 2010 11:05 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That's why it's so baffling.

Because they really seemed to have stopped all that, and proved it during the regular season. Then it’s like they forgot it all and went back to the way they were before.

I don’t know how you can fix it. I don’t think anyone can but them. Maybe enough repetitions will. That’s about the only thing. I mean, Indianapolis has gone to the playoffs 8 years in a row and won one title. They may yet win another, but it’s an example of how it can take a while. You have to be good, and you have to be lucky. Chargers weren’t good, and weren’t lucky today.

I wanted it for him, LT, the whole team, the city, for us, everyone.

Well, except for the Spanos family. That’s the one silver lining (but it’s not enough of one, that’s for sure).

Before today I was with you on Rivers being better than Eli or Big Ben, but now I’m afraid he just can’t be said to be ahead of Roethlisberger. Maybe on a par. I know Rivers has had two better regular seasons back-to-back, but Roethlisberger has two rings. Not every great QB can win a Super Bowl, and, heck, some mediocre ones have; but, with all the talent he has to work with, Rivers needs to at least get us there.

[Not that I’m blaming this loss on him — not at all; but his 2nd pick was devastating…. I guess it’s possible Gates was in the wrong there…. I don’t know…. Anyway, total team loss, although more on the offensive side of the ball (and of course Kaeding) than on the defensive side, Weddle’s missed tackle on the TD run not withstanding….]

but i still think rivers is better than big ben.

i think rivers was affraid he was going to get sacked near the endzone so he just heaved it. poor ball awareness by gates.

And it was a pleasure chatting it up with you guys on your board this week. You are very informed intelligent fans, and you do have a ton of talent on your team(although I must admit, I’m surprised at the ladanlian bashing on here, but hey, not my business). Nevertheless, good luck next year, I always root for you guys when your playing a game that doesn’t impact my beloved big blue.

And ill still play with you guys online on Madden ;)…..(btw anyone who plays with them on here, got a tip for you. Switch to the 4-3 and move Phillips and merriman to DE, and Castillo in the middle with J Williams. Phillips and merriman have a 99! Rating on the ends as opposed to the 80-somethings they are as backers. With Phillips, merriman, Castillo and Williams in the 4-3, your whole D-line is rated 90+; and they get to the QB with reckless abandon.). Try it out.

No.

They canned Marty because his entire coaching staff left for other teams. Check your history. They originally had stated Marty would be coming back as the Coach of the Chargers, but when Cam and Wade left to coach other teams, well, there was no real reason left to keep Marty around.

It wasn't that they left

can’t blame a coach for losing assistant coaches after going 14-2. It was who he wanted to replace them with.

by Natrone Bomb on Jan 18, 2010 11:28 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That was the final straw

But when the coaching staff left, that made Marty expendable. Spanos basically said, “okay, now with the rest of the staff gone, might as well get rid of Marty to resolve this constant conflict between AJ and Marty”

I'm kinda messed up

I was at the game and have been drinking for WAY too long. But I’m re-watching the game(i like to really feel the pain) but the penalty on Jackson was so ridiculous. I thought he grew up after spiking the ball after the raider game a few seasons back. Nope. Thanks Jackson.

And of course, thank you Nate. I’m sorry I believed in you.

Dolt for Hardwick

When that snap went over Rivers’ head, I instantly felt the game slipping away. And that was the first drive! Almost every shotgun snap after that looked more like a soft lob, like he was afraid to put any kind of mustard on it.

And that seemed to be the case for the whole team. They played so “cautious,” like they were afraid to get beat. And we all know what happens to teams like that.

I am sorry for your loss. I feel for your place kicker as well. The poor b*gger looked like a deer on the highway after he missed the 3rd kick.

Although I have been a Canadian Steeler fan since ’71, I started lurking on bftb and on jetsblog.com after the Chargers/Jets drafted/signed Vaughn Martin and Jamaal Westerman respectively.

How it’s Norv’s fault Kaeding shanked all 3 field goals?

How it’s Norv’s fault Rivers threw 2 interceptions? (the second pick was a complete lucky fluke that the ball never hit the ground and Revis just held on to it)

How it’s Norv’s fault Nick Hardwick snapped the ball over Rivers’ head?
