Its funny norv has a track record of taking one coaches team to the plaoffs then failing with his own . Whys that you say , because he cant evaluate and motavate personell. I for one will be happy to see him fired,the Spanos family need to also fire A.J. Smith then hire Marty as GM and Bill Cower as head coach this will save a team thats fallen apart at the seams. This does not take a rocket scientist to understand what went wrong.

The only two good things out of yesterday...Malcolm Floyd has been established.

Brandon Siler is the next Rodney Harrison but rather at linebacker...I remember watching Harrison when he was a back up and playing special teams for the Chargers...He was physical, making plays and nasty...I thought someday that kid was going to start and be a pro bowler...I see the same in Siler...nasty, physical, playmaker and passionate...He will be starting next year in his third year...

I see your boy Brees blew another game with three interceptions and they will miss the playoffs for the second straight year...

Jaque wrote on Dec 2, 2008 7:11 AM:The one play I cheered for was one that didn't work out. It was 3rd and goal or something for the Chargers, and a bootleg type of play was called. It caught me by surprise, and that in itself made it a hellova play despite going for no gain.

Wow....look at Eli and the G-men. Another Superbowl win? Maybe he really was thinking when he said he didn't want to play for San Diego.

You know D as in "Denmark" as in "Something is smelly in..."

Jimbo wrote on Dec 2, 2008 7:15 PM:Hey James, better get your facts straight dude. Brees is an NFL MVP candidate (again). Brees is literally carrying the Saints on his back because they can't run the ball. Rivers, OTOH, is meathead from a division II school who couldn't carry the gatorade. Rivers' is not a team player, laughs and smiles when he throws a dump interception, his teammates don't like him, and has a big mouth. Brees is a leader and an inspiration to New Orleans. Rivers' is just a paycheck player. BTW, Brees soundly whipped the Chargers and Rivers this year...nuf 'sed.
