Boy, isn’t A.J. Smith of the Chargers the best general manager in the NFL?
Reminds you of John Wayne, doesn’t he?
Boy, Norv Turner sure can coach; can’t he?
You know, he’s going to be the next Bill Belichick and win three Super Bowls in four years with the Chargers.
Pardon me for daydreaming and being among the apologists for the Chargers.
We’ll leave that to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Joe Tutino of 1090 AM Radio and Tom Shanahan of voiceofsandiego.org. (Thank goodness for Coach John Kentera, who went on 1090 this past week and said he wasn’t impressed with the Chargers because they had not beaten anybody this year.)
To put it more bluntly, they still haven’t. What an embarrassment Sunday’s 35-17 loss was to the Minnesota Vikings.
Did you see that awesome Chargers’ rush defense? All they did was allow rookie Adrian Peterson to rush for an NFL record 296 yards (including 253 in the second half.)
He only out-rushed LaDainian Tomlinson by 256 yards, meaning that perhaps he is about ready to surpass LT as the NFL’s most-feared runner.
Sure, Antonio Cromartie did a wonderful job for the Chargers by returning a missed field goal an NFL-record 109 yards for a touchdown before halftime. But that was supposed to give the Chargers momentum; not be their final highlight of the game.
At mid-season, the Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals may be the biggest underachievers in the NFL. Luckily for the Chargers, they are in a horrible division and are tied for first with Kansas City at 4-4.
Come next Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts come to town for a night game.
Don’t be surprised if Charger fans are again chanting "Mar-ty" for former coach Marty Schottenheimer before that game is done.

Norv can't coach. Neither can Cotrell on defense. AJ stood still in the offseason while other teams got better. Spanos, are you paying attention?
Where are you posers now...
