Ok. This is out of the ordinary but I had to say something about the Chargers and the natural disaster known as Norv Turner (supposedly the head coach).
Last year the Chargers fired Marty Schottenheimer after they lost to New England in the playoffs. Granted, Marty has trouble in the playoffs and did make some bone-headed decisions in that game. BUT, he did coach the Chargers to a 14-2 record. I guess you could rationalize his firing somehow based on his playoff failure. That simply does not explain why you hire Norv Turner! For god's sake the guy has NEVER won as a head coach!!! Surely there was someone more likely to succeed.
The LA Times blamed the Chargers defense (and the coordinator) for giving up 102 points in 4 games. Never mind that the Charger's OFFENSE gave up 14 of those points directly and who knows how many points off their 8 turnovers. The defense has 9 sacks, and forced 9 turnovers. Not stellar, but not too shabby.
The real problem is the offense----River's INTs, the wide receivers can't get open to get the running game going, and Norv making stupid calls.
In the game against KC, they had a golden opportunity to tie the game. They had the ball on the 5 and passed 4 straight plays!! They have the BEST OF ALL TIME RUNNING BACK!!! Give him one of those chances at least. Even worse on one of those, Rivers had LT open on a screen with a clear road to the endzone---he looked his way, didn't throw, scrambled and threw the ball away!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!! These are professionals for crying out loud!
Norv Turner is a hopeless failure as a head coach and if the Chargers make it to the playoffs (doubtful) it will be despite him or because he was fired.
