Open Thread: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers, 2nd Half
by John Gennaro on Nov 27, 2011 2:47 PM PST
in San Diego Chargers Game Day Open Threads
Email
PrintIf there's a team in the NFL that runs a worse two-minute offense than the San Diego Chargers, I'd be shocked. With a 10 point lead, two timeouts and the nail in their hand for the Broncos coffin, Philip Rivers was sacked and threw two incompletions (where it appeared his WRs didn't know they were being thrown to) before Norv Turner gave up and ran the ball.
The rest was predictable. A big return from Eddie Royal, a turnover opportunity that was wasted by the Chargers and a wide open Eric Decker for Tim Tebow to find in the end zone. Denver gets the ball to start the second half, so this could easily be a Chargers deficit soon.
Despite a strong running game, the Chargers offense still seems out of sync. They've played good defense only when the Broncos have abandoned the pass. San Diego is still playing a poor game and killing themselves with mental mistakes.
Expect another late-game TD by Tebow & Co. for another Broncos win. Expecting anything else would just be painful.

After watching the whole first half of a game
for once, I think I’m finally ready to admit that there are problems with this team that go beyond the personnel in between the chalk lines.
But who do you blame?
Spanos? AJ? Norv? Other Assistant Coaches? Training Staff?

Serious Question
If we lose every game from here on out who loses their job, realistically?
by BoltfromBoston on Nov 27, 2011 2:54 PM PST up reply actions
I'm guessing Norv regardless of what the losses look like
and then staff related to the faults that are blatant during said losses.
I'll say Norv and AJ stays.
While AJ hasn’t been perfect in every decision he has made, there is enough talent on this team to be better than 4-6, and that comes down to the coaches. I’m not sure Manusky has been given a fair shake since he didn’t have a full offseason but if there is a new HC there will most likely be a new DC.
Norv’s strength is offense and that has been the biggest weak point this season with all of the turnovers and 3 and outs.
There is enough talent on the field to be better than 4-6
So I put the blame squarely on the coaching staff.
I’m not saying this roster is tops in the league by any means as far as talent goes, but I would say that they have more talent than the 4-6 record indicates. It’s the coaches job to get that talent to produce between the whistles.
It’s also AJ’s job to ensure that the depth is adequate, which it isn’t, but the majority of the complete lack of urgency and execution is on the coaching staff.
I also am ready to admit that I dislike Manusky
and to a greater extent LaBoy and to a lesser extent Spikes. Here are the Broncos playcall options: McGahee Dive, McGahee Power O, McGahee Inside/outside zone, Tebow Option, Failed pass Attempt
I don't like what Manusky has done this season but he hasn't had a fair shake either
he didn’t get any close to a full offseason to implement his system and the injuries have killed his ability to be effective with basic defenses. I’m not sure this season is an indicator of the best that Manusky can do but I’m not sure that saves his job either.
No Confidence in Replacing Coaches
This is my concern. So we replace the loss of Ron Rivera with Greg Manusky as the DC. Improvement? I don’t think so, at least not right now. What about the ST debacle. Last year they were world class horrible and they replace the ST coach. Has there been a big improvement? Not really, some, but they are still pretty aweful.
So, I don’t have much faith that whoever replaces Norv or the other coaches is going to do any better. Not sure what the solution is, but ready to just accept the fact that as long as Spanos is owner this team will not be champions.
by BoltfromBoston on Nov 27, 2011 3:00 PM PST up reply actions
True, but what about other teams around the league?
No one else had an off-season either. So what about SF 49érs? Harbaugh didn’t seem to have any issues getting players to produce with very little off-season. I am sick of the excuses and the “no-off-season” smells alot like an excuse.
by BoltfromBoston on Nov 27, 2011 3:06 PM PST up reply actions
Not every coach is a Jim Harbaugh
and also Harbaugh really simplified his offense for the players that he had to take that into account…he adapted due to the short offseason.
You named one team that is doing well with a complete regime change in the offseason…I think if you look more around the league you will find that is not the norm, but that SF is a unique case.
Hmmm
and for those of you just interested in the inner-workings of football, this is a really good site: http://smartfootball.com/
Yup that was the article I read too that shows how he adapted his system to his players
and I just started following that site in the last couple weeks and it is great

that's a given
up 6 pts on the worst offense I have ever seen
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
Play to the whistle, Phillips.
That’s just one of this team’s many problems. He’s celebrating his tipped pass before the play is even over.
Wow... wow.
Isn’t this the quarter where we’re supposed to be halfway decent?
Hey, we scored once already
Makes that five straight games scoring on the 1st possession of the 2nd half. That’s some great coaching there, right?
Wow, with such great coaching, we must have gone 4-0 in that stretch.

Although I was firmly in support of keeping Crayton over Robinson at the time the decision was made, I have now changed my mind.

Hard to make that tackle
when you’re being wrapped in a bear hug from behind.
Call the damn hold, ref.
Not meaning to disagree with you on that.
Just that particular one was a little more difficult than most.
Only 3 penalites today.
So far. Knock on wood guys.
watching our guys struggle to reach Tebow
is like watching a bunch of grown men keeping little kids at bay with an outstretched hand on their foreheads
Not many teams have two tackles that can each hold off an elite pass rusher on their own without help
and Von Miller is elite…and Dumerville ain’t half bad either.
Even more obvious with a couple of guys on the practice squad or in street clothes two weeks ago playing next to him

I don't even think Norv will be gone
AJ will blame it on the injuries
and give Norv a break

You underestimate how much the front office has soured on this coaching staff.

I heard an interview with Dean
after last year
He loves AJ and Norv
after having so many losing seasons in the past
They aren’t going anywhere…
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
I still think
they will blame the bad season on injuries
and give Norv another shot
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
that is contrary to everything I have heard
and they gave Norv a 4 year extension after getting beaten by the Jets
in the playoffs
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
man, I feel like I'm in bizarro world...

Why would they care.
They’re probably going to spend the off season having meetings with AEG about moving. The problems with the Chargers can all be traced back to the Spanos family. AJ, Norv, the anemic O-Line are all just symptoms of the Spanos disease.
Nothing can be done about the owners

Then you have your answer to how much they'll care about selling tickets
They won’t. They’ll probably keep AJ and Norv, or worse put Spanos kid in as GM.
How do we know that's worse?

does this mean we can finally say goodbye to norv....please?
Here’s the thing. We all knew Marty had to leave. But the reason fans freaked out about him leaving for years was because of who he was replaced with. Its like being told " hey son we decided to finally upgrade you from that Yugo we bought you….. So here’s your new moped" of course we were pissed and wanted our old coach back. Anyway, I digress…. I hope this means that this sill expirement is done. Everyone but AJ and a few “front pagers” on this blog knew Norv was a bad choice for coach… And while talent carried him a ways, AJ’s Midas touch was quickly fleeting and left us with losses like today and a 6 loss streak. Its been….fun….no….not fun…its been….horrible. horrible watching stars age while AJ strokes his ego and Norv strokes his leathery drooping neck. I’m over it….lets make some changes from the top!

True.
Look at it this way, if we kept Mike Turner we would have never had to trade up for a dude who is unproven and shows “flashes” of quality between injuries. Another screw up by AJ.

you are seriously going to hate on Mathews after that game
he was the only player that seemed to still be playing his ass off out there…he was the only player that played well today.
I have a mad man crush on Matthews
but can he put this team on his shoulders consistently? The team takes turns having a dude show up and the rest of them sucking enough to get the L. Its just frustrating.
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
Most RB's have injury issues their first few years in the NFL
it is hard to replicate the wear and tear that NFL defenses and 16 games (or more) have on you when playing in college…he didn’t seem to get injured after 137 yards tonight. There are a lot of people to give up on with this team, but Ryan Mathews is not one of them.
In truth, I concede you are right
but my emotions make me want to believe there is a conspiracy, haha. Truth be told, I don’t think alot of the players have given up. V. Brown is a player. Matthews, Tolbert, C.Thomas, Hughes, Weddle. I just feel like some bad choices at key positions and an overall malaise seems to have constantly held the team down. When is the last time any player on this team has played at a probowl level?
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
I think Weddle is playing at a Pro Bowl level
but I think I’m in the minority there…Donald Butler is also playing really well
Dont agree with this
If anything the one positive I took from this game was Ryan Matthews. I personally thought he was the only one who showed up. With a beaten up, aweful OL he still managed around 140 yards and showed me that he has the potential to be great.
by BoltfromBoston on Nov 27, 2011 5:05 PM PST up reply actions
He is great, but he is also injury prone.
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
Well, at least we got basketball coming up soon
We might get a nice draft pick next year too, but as long as AJ’s still here it probably won’t be a very smart one.
I don't care what they say...
I just don’t want injuries to be their excuse…
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
I have nothing to say
4-7
Even pessimist fans couldn’t predict something like this
There will still be some
who defend. If you defend this it is the equivalent of defending your choice to stay with a chick who is cheating on you. You are an idiot.

I'll rec that one
I have always been an advocate of Norv, but this team has just given up on him, time to move on.
And it's not like Norv is a really really hot chick. He's merely cute.
by The Land Of Real Beer on Nov 27, 2011 5:07 PM PST up reply actions
Haha, this earns my rec.
Yeah, I came to this same conclusion when his one positive, his offense, sputtered and failed this game. If you’re a rational fan, I think it’s time to realize that this coaching staff has got to go.
How much of it do you think is personnel
as opposed to coaching? Has the coach changed in the past 5 years or the personnel? Just saying. Maybe our drafts and the folks we have let go has limited Norv to this point. Not defending him, but it is easy to blame the mouthpiece/puppet. Why haven’t we heard any quotes from AJ this past month?
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
Hope for 2012
Honestly, I am kind of excited about all of this (the collapse of the Chargers, that is). I have been a fan for almost 20 years and am growing tired of losing year after year because of poor coaching and bad drafting. I am actually hoping to see the Chargers go 4-12 just so that they will clean house.
To me it is much like Congress, we need everyone out and a whole bunch of fresh faces. I don’t mind re-building if the final product is a winning team and a different attitude toward football.
Will anyone bother to watch Dolts @ Jacksonville next week
Oh yeah, Jags fans, because they can actually win.
by The Land Of Real Beer on Nov 27, 2011 5:05 PM PST reply actions
Sadly, this is what we all predicted when Norv was hired as head coach. The slow unraveling of a once talent laden team. I be AJ feels like a total schmuck. Looks like you dont have to know very much to be a GM if you got guys like AJ calling the shots.
