Nor do I expect the Chargers to beat Tampa Bay in Tampa. Been a bad year.
Not sure about Mi, things are buzzing over at Chargers board. Lots of negative. Wacky year, yes. Charger Oline and Dline have sucked bad this year (except for Dielman and Jamal Williams) . Norv Turner is repeating mistakes made in Washington and Oakland, and it seems that AJ Smith has missed on a few players. Have to give props to NE, many devestating injuries, still doing very good. Props.
Oh yeah, I remember! Dam you Seau! LOL. Now I'm cheering him and the Patriots on. What a difference a year makes! Dude is stand up, he, if any player does, deserves a ring. He is a true warrior and ambassador of the game.
It would be easy to say yes. It's complicated. I believe that most coaches deserve more than two years, especially if they go to the AFCCG in one of them (not to mention they played the best team in history pretty tough in that game). However, some things that are happening are recurrances of problems Norv had in Washington and Oakland. Additionally, there are some tactical decisions and time management stuff that he just misses on. I believe that if he had an Offensive Coordinator that calls the plays he would do much better, there are rumblings that AJ Smith is going to force him to get one. Finally, you ask if I think Norv is done. I would have to say, no, because I don't believe that AJ Smith and Dean Spanos think he is done. I didn't like the Norv hire to begin with, nor did I like Marty S., but gotta support the guy until he either succeeds or is ousted. That's just the way I roll. LOL.
The thing I really appreciated about Seau when he was a Charger is he never threw the organisation under the bus, and God knows he had reason to. Even in the years the Chargers were horrible, dude wouldn't knock the organisation or the HC. He always spoke about the team and how the team needed to do better, including his HOF self. Dude has earned another shot at a SB ring. I'm not sure I agree about him "not angling for a another shot at a ring" part of your post. I believe that if there wasn't a chance for a ring he wouldn't have been asked or accepted. I think you're right about his coming because of WHO asked him though. If it were anyone but BB I doubt Seau comes, chance for a ring or not. GO PATRIOTS!
I understand why you feel that way. I feel the same, but from the Charger POV. LT seems to be proving you guys right. Dude hasn't been a good teamate this year and part of last year, imo.
Definitely props to the NE organisation. They've overcome catastrophic injuries. The Chargers haven't. It helps that you have BB.
Amongst the "Charger folks" it's mostly on Norv. He is widely blamed for all the Chargers problems this year. Imo it's the Oline and Dline. They are getting their ass kicked. When that happens your team is going to suck.
I don't care what RB you have, if the Oline is allowing penetration there won't be success in the running game. Btw, the Chargers didn't trade Michael Turner, he was an unrestricted free agent.
Aside from the Oline and Dline getting their asses kicked I would say the next biggest problem is the players not believing in Norv. Tough to execute a gameplan when you don't believe in the designer. That's the short answer anyway.
