Ravens v. Chargers: Coaching Mismatch

[groundgame]

A good chance in this game, the combo of Norv Turner's bad coaching, and Philip Rivers's bad decisions (T Romo) will prevail on Sunday late game. Harbaugh can sit back and wait for the inevitable implosion.

San Diego will be a team to be reckoned with next year with head coach Andy Reid.

If Reid joins SD, Ryan Mathews can kiss any chance of reaching his "superstar potential" goodbye.

Turner versus anyone is a coaching mismatch, but I happen to think San Diego matches up well with Baltimore, especially the "road version" of Baltimore.

They beat the Ravens last year, and generally play well toward the end of the season. Hopefully they can do it to improve the Pats positioning.

In some ways I prefer the number 3 seed....only 1 team with a number 1 or 2 seed has won the Super Bowl since 2005 (2009 saints).

So prophetic. But Flacco and company excelled at bad decisions as well, and indeed the Ravens needed the ultimate choke job - your "inevitable implosion" - from SD to avoid losing because they would have only scored 10 points in regulation.

Why not fire Norv today? What's the point of going on like this?

Suprisingly, I thought that game was coached/managed well by SD. Rivers was not good but he didn't turn the ball over. They played good special teams and took advantage of each scoring opportunity they had.

Can't really think of any coaching miscues in that one, the problem was the awful tackling and awful Oline. Several missed tackles throughout. On the 4th and 29 play there was a wall of 3 or 4 defenders who if they had just contained their area of the field Rice would not have gotten close to the first down. But for some reason they all broke contain and ran directly to Rice giving him a shot to reverse the field and get there, just inexcusably poor fundamentals by the defenders. It's hard to blame that or the awful OL which led to an inept offense on Turner, it was just a physically dominated game by Bmore. I'm sure if you look at the yardage differential, which I'd imagine Baltimore won by a huge margin it'll be suprising that the game even went into OT.
