The San Diego Chargers fired the coach that led them to a 14-2 record because they were tired of another playoff loss. Well, they might have solved their playoff losing woes by hiring the one guy capable of keeping this talented team from actually making the postseason. Martyball may be maddening by its ultraconservative nature, but there's a reason Marty Schottenheimer is among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history. Blame him all you want for last year's loss to the Patriots, so long as you blame Norv Turner for fielding a worse football team this season.
Chargers have had a tough schedule, so a 1-2 record isn't stunning. The way they've played is. The feared defense is 22nd in the NFL, and you can thank the Bears ineptness for being that high. Worst of all, offensive genius Norv Turner has made the best player in the NFL irrelevant. LaDainian Tomlinson is 34th in rushing. Martyball laughs quietly on the golf course.
San Diego was my pick to win it all which was a huge mistake. Why did I not take into account the Norv Turner factor.
