San Diego Chargers Lose to Chicago Bears 31-20

I think we have reached boiling point… Bye Norv.

except i think the more likely scenario is that norv comes back next year and poops the bed yet again, the city votes and doesn’t pass whatever stadium bill is coming up and the chargers leave to LA and start over with a spanos as GM and a new HC.

that these dont relly hurt any more?

how are we feeling about the 4-1 start now? They were playing bad football in those games, and it’s caught up to them in the last 5.

2-3 starts with late runs into the playoffs but come on, honestly. At first it was like ok SD is a slow starter, but as we fell from 14-2 and started a slow downward spiral over Turners coaching career, how obvious is it that he was just dovetailing onto the success of a great team that Marty had. OK. PR progressed and became a fantastic QB culminating in a great personal season last year, but to me it seems like the longer Norv is here now, the more PR gets hurt. Yes, everyone’s saying it, but I’ve been on the bandwagon since the beginning. FIRE NORV

Identify the key issue going into the game (O-line protection), address it, lose for a different reason (D can’t stop anyone).

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chargers lose-out at this point and, honestly, I’m almost rooting for it to happen.

No almost. I wish they had lost more games (and were 2-8) cause yeah, no more “get this team back on track” or “he should have/would have/could have.” LOSE NOW and get high draft pick and easier schedule or LOSE LATER and go 0-16 next season.

Norv and AJ aren’t yet done destroying this team from the inside out.

adjustments in the second half on all accounts. I worry about Rivers at this point.. how can he recover with or without Norv. What happens next honestly, Charger fans… what happens next? if Norv stays for the rest of the year we should/ will see a Wade Phillips ala Dallas last year… this will get ugly.

Chargers have the most predictable play selection…today they surprised me with just 2 plays

even if they sneak into playoffs ahead of raiders or denver, i would rather have a higher pick and new coaching staff. although in norv’s defense, he didn’t cause the matthews fumbles or the bad 1st interception. our pass-pro was better then i expected.

but i agree about the super stupid coaching gaffes already mentioned. i am immune to further losses as i no longer have expectations.

I’m thinking 6-10. Is it possible for AJ to get fired, even at 4-12?

I’ve said the ;last couple years that the O line needed upgraded. L T ain’t in his prime but still manages to pick up yards behind a better line. Hard to say who’s more responible norv or a j. But, I’d have to say a j for two reasons. First, keeping norv, second his crappy draft picks (busts) I’d fire a j now, and hire a new gm so that he can assess who to keep and who to can. And start getting ready for the draft. If a j is still gm, expwect the chargers to suck again next year tregardless if norv is around or not. If a j is still around, I expect he will trade this years and next years first for a second and third round pick this year. Then, probably select another larry english and another bust with those picks. The chargers won’t be real contenders untill a j is fired.

cause when they lose it’s expected and boring but when they win it’s overachieving and thrilling. The exact opposite of being a Chargers fan.

(I kid, I would never stray from this pathetic team.)

I said this at the start of last season and was ridiculed to no end. I guess crucial 4th qtr. picks are no longer an overlooked part of his legacy and have become his legacy.

spanos – fires head coach after a 14-2 season and a loss by 3 in the afc championship game, but waits until most coaching decisions around the league have already been made to do it.

AJ – can’t get along with said head coach, replaces him with a coach that has failed to lead a team multiple times but is mild-mannered enough to not rock the boat. plays hardball with player contracts and lets two of his best sit out the majority of the 2010 season on contract disputes. falls in love with certain players in the draft and does everything in his power to get that guy whether it means drafting him 2 rounds early or trading 2 later picks to move up and get him.

norv – “brilliant offensive mind” who can’t admit that he’s better at running an offense than a team. doesn’t understand how the clock works in a football game or what timeouts are for. is consistently out-coached in at least one half of every game. looks lost on the sideline for the majority of every game and has nothing but the same thing to say after every game. about as motivational as a prostate exam.

since you can’t fire an owner, i say it’s about time to start from scratch and rebuild but i’m not exactly sure we should expect anything new from this ownership.

AJ/Norv/Spanos sucked the life out of me; this team hurts to watch.

But it really goes to the ownership and their inability to find the right guys to run the player operations. Getting Butler was the last intelligent thing they have done.

And I love during the lock out how the pro-owner line was something about the owners taking all the risk, free market, etc.

These are the most nepotistically run organizations I know of, devoid of accountability.

Norv took over the 1991 Redskins Roster after winning the superbowl in 1993. he ended with a 3-13 season. not good enough yet??? he took over the 2002 AFC Champs Raiders in 2004, led them to a 5-11 and 4-12 season. is the fact that norv is bringing the chargers down actually a surprise? NO!!! the chargers knew what they were getting and they got it. the decision should fall on the shoulders of the GM too. at what point are we going to finally release this HORRIBLE COACH AND GM? the lions finally realized they had an idiot in the head office and let him go… guess what… they are “winning” now. everyone else has 4 receiver sets with garbage QBs. rivers is getting his butt whipped due to lack of options and lack of blocking. no friggin surprise here. get rid of those that are making stupid decisions and learn to win!
