What a 2nd half meltdown.

Unexcusable.

Just like the bikes of last year, just can't finish the game.

 

[MetalMat]

I think this may be Turner's last season as the head coach of San Diego

Him and aj smith need to go. Bring in bill cowher. Draft a new qb as well next season.

Vintage Rivers helped out more than vintage Peyton

Rivers has only has one season like that!

Romo has like...all of his seasons like that.




but good lord that was ugly D:

 

[Adrenaline]

Rivers is awful. There is no other way to put it.

He started his decline last year and has only gotten worse. Wow, he just sucks.

 

[Turbonium]

Didn't see the game, but good to hear vintage Peyton is back (or so it would seem).

first 1/2 would have been great if his team would play at half his level. decker tripping over a blade of grass, the kick returners catching the ball and willis knowing his routes would have been nice

The AFC has only two teams above .500 now, Houston and Baltimore.

The NFC has seven.

You shut your filthy whore mouth!

Bill Cowher can NOT be a coach anywhere in the NFL...abso-fucking-lutely NOT! (Unless Mike Tomlin retires and he goes back to Pittsburgh) :biggrin:

The idea of Cowher coaching anywhere else has been a nightmare for us Steelers fans...

I really doubt Norv is going anywhere. For whatever reason, the Chargers head office seems to like him. Phillip (Cry me a) Rivers should be dumped...I mean traded ASAP. (like 4 years ago)

Norv has compromising photos of someone high up on the team. That's the only reasonable explanation why he wasn't shitcanned long ago.

the steelers have their own problem on the oline and defense as well; they're old and slow

and the steelers is Mike Tomlin's team.

Bill cowher could do well in san diego due to the weather and the surf.

Dean Spanos? Norv and AJ smith turn the chargers into shit after they fired Marty's ball.

 

[fustercluck]

Great watching Peyton work like that in the 2nd half. Elite quarterbacking at it's finest.

Linkys no worky

 

[diesbudt]

I thought Romo turning the ball over 5 times in 1 game was impressive (in a bad way)

Rivers found a way to surpass that with 6 (4 INT 2 Fum). Very impressive Rivers.

And Baltimore won't be there for long. They seem to be the team who will be destroyed by injury this year. Houston is going to take out a lot of frustration on them next weekend.

Baltimore is going to get clobbered by Houston, but after that they have a bye week and then a game against the Browns. That gives them some breathing room. Losing Ray Lewis sucks, but if Terrell Suggs can make it back later on in the season his return will more than make up for Lewis being out. Ray was out for four games last year and the Ravens did fine without him. As much as I hate to say this they'd probably be better off if he retired so they could use his cap space somewhere else.

Juan Castillo fired as Eagles D-coordinator..

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8511166/juan-castillo-fired-philadelphia-eagles

Wow, did not see this coming. Andy is usually far too loyal to do something like this in-season. Scape goat move if ever I saw one but fact is he was not getting the job done at crunch time. Had no business going from offensive line coach to D-coordinator anyway.

Firing Castillo makes pretty much no sense. Yeah, the numbers (tackles, sacks, ints) were down this year, but the defense actually played really well for pretty much all of the first 6 games. I think they're ranked in the upper half of the league. The offense, however, is ranked in the bottom few. If anyone should be fired it's Marty Mornhinweg.

This just seems like a blatant flailing move to try to save Reid's job. What really needs to happen is:
1. Fix the offensive line. You can't really bring anybody in this season that would be an upgrade, so you need to change your scheme to work with what you've got.
2. Run the ball. If outside runs aren't working, run it inside. Don't continue trying to find the edge when your o-linemen are consistently getting beat on the outside.
3. Throw short passes and screens. This helps your o-line, as some of the front 7 on the defense need to hold back a little.
4. Figure out what's wrong with Vick. He's fumbling constantly and making some pretty poor throws. I realize that getting smashed on every play has an effect on a QB. This is why you call more short passes/screens/runs to make the defense back off. Work up some more bootlegs and plays to get Vick out of the pocket.

Which of these will actually happen? We all know #2 isn't happening. #1 takes a whole lot of scheming, though, and collaboration by your o-line coach, OC, and head coach. Your whole offense has to buy into it. With the crazy firing of Castillo, I don't think everyone is going to be onboard, so there will be issues with this. #3 is entirely on the OC/Reid. They've never really seemed like the types that can adjust playcalling though, so I don't have much faith. I don't think #4 will get much time either. I think everyone is scared of a house cleaning at the end of the season, so Vick will be on a very short leash. Foles will start at some point this season and do the typical rookie thing (fumbles, ints, bad throws).

8-8 season, Reid fired, Vick released. Next year's team will probably look much different.
