They aren't excuses if they are true. If I thought he was out of gas, I'd say it. I don't see it, unless that toe injury is going to be a chronic one.

You can look at the numbers all you want, I've seen every snap he's taken this year. Their problems running the ball go far beyond LT being at the end of his career.

Re: Way to go Norv!!!

True the coach and front office is buffoonery at best, but I wait to see what this team looks like going in to next season with the talent healthy (if it does get healthy) and with some re-tooling.

Safety and o-line definitely need to be addressed, and maybe even RB. With those points of emphasis it's time to see if A.J. really is as good as he thinks he is. Then again,most important thing is also for Norv to get the team to not play so damn soft.

Re: Way to go Norv!!!

Last week against the Steelers, on his own 3 yard line, the Offensive Guru known as Norv Turner called not one BUT TWO consecutive 5 step drop passing plays. Results? Incomplete pass and fumble by Rivers that resulted in a safety.

How is that ANYONES fault but the coach? The absolute worst coach in NFL history. Bar None.

Considering how clueless the Chargers front office and ownership have been, Eli defintitely made the right decision. The Giants were in a similar spot as the Chargers with a disciplinarian coach that people claimed could not get over the hump. Unlike the Chargers firing Schott, the Giants stuck with Coughlin and the result is a Super Bowl and a 11-1 record.

I've watched every Chargers game this year and LT has no blocking at all. Yes he is reaching the Senior Citizen point as far as HB go in the NFL however its not a Shaun Alexander situation. Alexander just couldn't move anymore. LT still has his burst and moves but he can't get any blocking to do anything. Yes his toe has bothered him this year and who knows it might be a career ender when its all said and done but as of right know IMHO LT is still good to go. He just needs some help from his teammates.

You put him behind Minnesota's Oline and LT is leading the league in rushing.

Re: Way to go Norv!!!

Wow, this is the game that left me speechless. Pretty much the whole way through.

Norv got the proverbial "keys to the Ferrari", when he inherited the 14-2 team, and dismantled it to a Civic.

Predictable playcalling, no passion on the team, no urgency, no playoffs, season is done fellas.
