Both teams have disappointingly run the ball like girls.

Is disappointingly a werd, Dinsdale?
I'll wait.


Ok ..... KC is feeble up front, and that's a major problem.
They lack speed at WR, and that's a problem.
They have a very mediocre QB, and that's not helping.
Their coach recently used the world 'flustrated' during a Monday morning media session.
I laffed at him.
He's not real bright.

The Hooterville defense isn't half bad, but their nice looking stats are misleading to the simple minded among us.
Other teams know the Chef offense will score as often as jtr, and so their own offense just plays not to lose the game.
Very vanilla stuff -- don't risk, just get some points on the board and it'll be enough to win the game.
So it looks like Hooterville is stopping the other team, but the other team is playing a little bit of turtle.

Bottom line is the Chefs pretty much blow.

SD?
A little better.
Highly dissappointing so far on offense though, and especially running the ball.
Lady T nearly cried after last week's game, and he usually waits for public bawling until the post-season.
The Blots hired themselves a Nancy of a coach.
I'm not a wise GM, owner, or anything such what, but I wouldn't have done that.

[Jimmy the Greek Voice]The Chargless have more horses than KC, and they'll win this game at home.
I see SD scoring a very late 'garbage time' TD to make the margin of victory a little deceiving.[/Jimmy the Greek Voice]

SD - 24
KC - 10

Herm will gameplan hard for this one.

I believe he needs to get about 45 carries and 220 yards out of LJ to have a chance.

It might be possible that he caught on to that by watching the Texans.

Are you sure? He is on the road, and not the home opener. I don't see either coach gameplanning period

Honestly, I have no fuckin' idea how this game will play out.

LT and LJ might suddenly become what everyone thought they'd be before the season started... or not. I guess I'm liking LJ's chances of getting untracked a bit more than LT's for the simple fact that KC's defense is much improved. Then again, on the road, who the fuck knows? LT could light us the fuck up, one way or another. Let's call it a push in this category for now.

Passing game? Well, Bowe is starting to show that he was a legit first round draft pick. Dude has made some sick catches on some poorly thrown balls. They need to throw more balls his way and let him go get 'em. T-Gon is still T-Gon, and will get his. KC needs to open up the playbook some and throw more on 1st down, when they're expecting an LJ run.

Gates? I hates that guy. He can single handedly beat you. 'nuf said.

Huard has looked lost at times, and scared to death, but at least he hasn't been turning the ball over. As for Rivers, haven't seen his play enough yet this year to even comment. I'll leave that up to blot fan.

As previously stated, the Chiefs D is greatly improved. I think they'll keep us in the game. It will probably come down to a special teams play or two and a late FG wins it.

Hmmm, could be.

OR, it will probably come down to a couple of LT TD passes to Gates. We've NEVER seen that before here.

Bolts- 17
Chiefs- 3

The Chargers are certainly feeling the effects of losing both DC Wade Philips and OC Cam Cameron. The offense I think will come around but I'm not sure about the defense. DC Ted Cotrell looks seriously over matched, the blitz packages have been vanilla (dropping Merriman into coverage? :x )and opposing QBs are allowed too much time and comfort in the pocket, hence the team sucks defending the pass. Losing LBs Donnie Edwards and Randal Godfrey also has softened up the middle of the defense.

I think this is the week LT gets back on track, and I do expect the Chiefs to keep it close for a while, but I think the Bolts pull away in the 4th quarter.

Brett Farve has been to the Chargers what Barry Bonds is to the Padres.......a killer. Giving the ball back to Favre with a couple of minutes to go at Lambeau was a mistake.

This week the Chargers won't be facing Tom Brady or Brett Favre on the road.


Chargers 27

Chiefs 17


Oh yeah....Norv still sucks and the Chargers ought to replace Cotrell with Ron Rivera.

It was a last minute deal and Pineappleface is clearly an interim hire. His only recommendation is that he is familiar with the offense and could at least maintain a little continuity. He's gone at the end of the year. Fuck...maybe even sooner if he continues like this.

The team turned over its entire coaching staff. Only an idiot would expect smooth sailing without any hitches.

Save your sob stories for someone who cares.

If the same thing had gone down in Oakland you'd be in here barking about what a screw-up Al is, so take it up your pipe and stfu.
In fact, grind your @ss down on it and enjoy it a little more.

Your 'organization' should have been in position to ride the wave of success for a few yrs to come, but instead has now begun to settle in to the reality that it's all going *poof* before it's moist eyes.

You watched a proven winner exit, only to see him replace by a Barney freaking Rubble.
Critically important coaches have left, players are bent and are crying in post-game interview rooms, fans are pissed, and the overall mood is sour.

In short, you had an organizational meltdown of epic proportions.

In light of your frequent rants about genius Al Davis, I find that very funny.

At least Jerry won a couple superbowls before he fucked up. Charger ownership is fucking horrible at best <insert james' pic of empty superbowl cabinet>.

I think the Norv Turner hire was an easy choice once it was decided Marty was gone. He was a "comfort" hire, bringing the same playbook, the offense was all smiles. Truth is the team needed to be shook up, to be more disciplined and smarter, as opposed to maintaining the status quo.

Nothing? I offered up nice photos of LT and LJ. Not exactly sure how they figure in a game between two shitty AFC West teams, though.

The Tuna might make them more disciplined. Not too sure about smarter though. One thing they will get is a very vanilla 3-4 defensive scheme and mroe than likely a stale offensive playcaller. Not really sure how that would change things from their current situation.

I'm not sure he comes back again. Tuna burns out after 5 years with any team, takes a few years off and then gets lured back. Dude is already almost 70. I think we may have seen the last of the Tuna on the sidelines (without a microphone, that is)

3 games with all new coaches and we're melting down and messing up horribly? Anyone want to expound on how your teams would fare at this point in the same games? We're going to be fine. I'm not worried. I know we've arrived though when I see all the haters. Dallas fan is especially funny.

We'll beat all the AFC west teams this year.

1 new HC and one new OC. You rang?

Trev,

Maybe if your GM wasn't a power hungry SOB, he would have had a chance to hire a HC with some balls. Enjoy the next 5 years of mediocrity.

Isn't it a little early for bragging rights boys? Considering who you've played and all.

What was AJ supposed to do? Marty was not giving SD the results they wanted.

A playoff win or 3.

Cowher wasn't available.

That had nothing to do with it. A.J. Smith learned his craft from John Butler, another power hungry loon who would have ruined the Chargers the same way he did Buffalo had not his 2 pack a day habit finally caught up to him. It was only a matter of time before he would try to impose his own regime on Shottenhiemer. He tried and Marty told him to piss up a rope. By the end of this season you'll be begging for a return to Martyball.

Too bad the Chargers window for winning a championship will have closed by then. In the meantime, they would have been better off hiring Ron Rivera, or Russ Grimm (both of whom were available) instead of picking up the worst possible retread one could imagine. In fact, they could fire Norvell right now and promote Rivera and probably pick up a couple of wins this year in the process. Though it is possible that Turner's damage is irreparable.

WRONG- AJ Smith IS the real douschebag there, and let the best head coach for the job hit the bricks because he's (Smith) a fucking power-hungry ASS. Marty was NOT the reason why they lost that playoff game last January- the apparent lack of leadership in that locker room (Marty, Donnie Edwards among others no longer there) and the fact that Norv's just a "swell guy" will contribute to the Blots not even making the playoffs this year.

AJ Smith has done his job.....MY ASS.

mvscal wrote:Douchenbagger's job was to produce a championship team with that talent and he never even got close.

A 14-2 record with home field advantage throughout was the foundation for a championship team. The fact that you had a couple douches on your team trying to be heros is what cost you this game and more than likely a championship. So to say Marty didn't even come close is a bit exaggerated. One thing that will be clear, is that Norvell will never get close to even sniffing the playoffs. Take that to the bank.

For anyone not named Marty Cockensucker, you mean.

Well, now you'll NEVER know because King AJ got rid of the one guy that probably would've got them there this year.

mvscal wrote:You are a fat, stupid tard, Paul. Has anyone told you that lately?

See, when you hear that a GM of a team that went 14-2, regardless of what happened in the playoffs, let both OC & DC leave and then fires his head coach. you scratch your head and think, AJ HAS to be on drugs. Got to be a douchebag in there somewhere.

Then you remember it was Marty and his lifetime achievement award for first round exits that got shown the door, and all of a sudden it's like. "Ok, I remember now. Marty sucks. They can do better than that guy"

Then they hire Norv and you're back to step one of thinking AJ is a clueless douche.


Chargerfan, don't be surprised as you see all of us travel through this vicious cycle of circular logic. Just know that at all stages you guys come off as fucked.


Sorry you had to find out this way.

The difference between you and I is about 20 years watching the Chargers, most of them shit.

No talent, no coaching, no GM, shit owner.

GM AJ Smith is the best thing that has happened to the Chargers since Bobby Ross. The team actually has some talent and AJ has produced most of it through the draft. He's untouchable IMO, and if he were fired you can bet he wouldn't be out of work long.

When Marty was hired I didn't like the hire and posted so at TNW. My take then was Marty will make the Chargers competitive but wouldn't get it done come playoff time. I know, I know, I'm a genius......

I did appreciate the Marty run Chargers domination over the hated primer & soot though.

After the 14-2 season and first rd exit, firing Marty wasn't real popular here in SD. The Chargers were going to have Marty finish his contract (no extension offered) and I believe AJ wanted Wade Philips to take over in 2008. When Dallas hired Wade they pulled the rug out from under AJ.

I think Philips is a hell of a DC, I'm not sure about HC, perhaps he'll have a better run than in Denver/ Buffalo, but he is winless in the post season as a HC.

Anyway once Marty realized the Chargers were not going to extend him, he made sure not to cooperate when AJ was trying to find a new DC. Hence the firing, with Marty not having to work to receive his full paycheck.

I believe AJ made the mistake of not doing enough of an in depth search before hiring Norv, because the Chargers still run the offense that he implemented when he was the OC. Basically trying to keep Tomlinson, Rivers Gates and the Oline happy. I was hoping Jeff Fisher was going to be let go in TN last year, he wasn’t, but he's the type of coach I'd like to see at the helm in SD.

If Norv stinks it up too bad he won't be around next season. I do believe if Marty was still the HC the Chargers would have many of the same problems, the defense greatly improved under Wade.

Norv's ineptness has been well documented with the Redskins, so HH you're not saying anything that hasn't been written or said out of my mouth a million times.

Too much talk about the Chargeless coaching situation up in this bitch.

The players play the game and ultimately decide the outcome, but that seems to get overlooked.

You want I should go off on a 15 paragraph rant about Herm?

Didn't think so.

You want I should go off on a 15 paragraph rant about Herm?

That will come naturally Sunday evening.

Joe, unfortunately, you may be right.

KC Fan likely will be cryin' in Bud Light and/or Twinkies. Fuck, I hope I'm wrong.

trev, if we were lovers, I'd RACK you.

Only we suck ... KC and SD, that is.

trev wrote:We're going to be fine. I'm not worried.

Best-case scenario, you're 2-2, with a likely season scenario of 8-8.

Whoo hoo!

mvscal wrote:You remember what happened in 1995-96?

Sorry, but that doesn't apply to this "spirited" debate in ANY way.

FACT: The Blots played BETTER when Marty was their coach.
FACT: NOBODY knows how far Norv or Marty or ANYBODY would've taken them in the playoffs (that is, if they even make it) THIS season.

Now PAY ATTENTION R_T_Svscal...this part is CRUCIAL:

FACT: This year's Blots would DEFINITELY be committing FAR less mental errors and executing their plays with FAR more precision if Marty was still there. PERIOD, end of story.

Seriously BlotFan, you really need to STOP blasting the guy that coached your team back to sheer respectability and STOP defending the pock-marked punching bag that replaced him. AJ Smith stepped on his dick with Marty's firing and Norvelous' hire and that simply cannot be defended....unless of course the Blots SOMEHOW get into this year's playoffs and goes farther than last year's team did.

Career Regular Season Records
Marty 200-126-1
Norvy 59-84-1

Who do you want coaching your team?


Post-season speaking, Marty has blown, and Norv has barely been good enough to even get there.

No surprise that your gimp organization has now been led by the both of 'em.

Marty cries. He stills loves the Chargers and will be rooting for them Sunday.

Listen to his interview.

Since Chargertard has proven that thier last 2 brain cells are in a constant struggle for supremecy, its best to remind them that thier fucking shitpile team are the Clippers of football, and that thier owner is one of the dumbest fucks alive and the top 5 worst in sports altogether.


It delights me to no end that the ChargeClips and Pudgays will never win a fucking thing in our lifetime.
