Open Thread: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers, 1st Half

Today's game between the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos follows the tale of two teams headed in very different directions.

Since losing to the Chargers in Denver, Tim Tebow has been named the Denver starting QB and has lead his team to a 4-1 record and into contention for the AFC West. The Broncos' first-year Head Coach, John Fox, has won over his team and the city of Denver. Their first-round draft pick, Von Miller, is probably the leader in the race for Defensive Rookie of the Year.;

Since beating the Broncos, the Chargers have gone 0-5. Their starting QB, Philip Rivers, leads the league in turnovers. Their Head Coach, Norv Turner, has lost the faith of the San Diego fans and is on the verge of losing his team. The team is lacking depth after losing key players to injury and not replenishing the roster with poor drafting.

If the Chargers lose this game, it could be the final straw that breaks the camel's back for Norv Turner in San Diego. If they win, it could be the start of a run that helps him keep his job.
