The thing is, we all heard this line back in '04... Marty had changed... he has Brees and Tomlinson now, it's a high flying offense, Martyball is dead, yadda yadda. And they still lost in the playoffs. I do think their defense is better now, but I'm interested in seeing what Marty does late in a close game with a 1st year starting QB. He could change, Cowher did it last year, he came out slinging it against the Colts and Broncos. I think it is very possible, but I'm not giving him credit for it until it happens.

And you won't have it until the playoffs happen. Marty has showed these regular season stripes before, as recently as 2004. And once again, in the playoffs, he shit his bed. You simply cannot say Marty has changed until he proves it IN THE PLAYOFFS. |
Htis is correct. Marty opened it up a bunch in 2004 only to revert to Martyball in the playoff game against the Jets. I recall watching the game and saying to myself "Marty won't make the same mistakes twice, he'll stay aggressive. Oh my God, he's sitting on the ball content to try a long field goal. He can't be that dumb, can he? Won't he ever learn?"
Marty is Charlie Brown. postscript: What was even funnier was watching Herm pull a Marty a week later and not learning from it. |
Well, I think Kaeding is better now. That is one good thing in their favor. I don't have a problem with putting a game on your kicker's foot. Belichick won a lot games with Vinatieri... but Marty has done it with kickers who were struggling/in bad conditions. The unnamed kicker was kicking horribly before that playoff game against the Colts... then last time, Kaeding was a rookie, and the field was wet and slippery.

1995: Nation is skeptical of Chiefs. Me: "But, but, we're 13-3! We have homefield!" 1997: Nation is skeptical of Chiefs. Me: "But, but, this time is different! Our defense is dominant! And no way we'll choke 13-3 again!" I learned my lesson. I understand, Bolt fans. You're excited. But so long as Marty is your coach, the world demands that he prove it when it counts. |

4rth and goal from the one wasn't an automatic field goal call when you had Marcus. |

All sour grapes Cheffies.....relax
I think the Bolts will bring home the bacon.
Your D played excellent rattling Rivers, although 3 of our wides were out: Parker, Floyd and McCardell. These 3 should be ready to play in the PO (thanks to that first round bye). As Madden said last night, "teams are now focusing more on Rivers unlike they used to." Rivers's true worth can be seen in the PO when he dominates in the pass rush. Cam Cameron will have a few surprises for whichever sorry team comes to San Diego...and yes, Marty DOESN'T call the plays anymore! By the way, San Diego thanks Tamba for "Halitosising." Does SOFT equal 270 rushing yards? Happy fishing! LOL. |

Nice to see you made it back for your annual stop in at the Planet. What on earth makes you think Marty is going to let Rivers throw the ball in a playoff game? |

Marty DOESN'T call the plays anymore, Cam Cameron does. SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Chargers are a whole lot of good with what appears to be the right amount of lucky. More than anything else, however, they are a whole lot different than any team Marty Schottenheimer has ever coached. Or maybe it's just that Schottenheimer is a whole lot different than he has ever been, as a 20-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night showed. From a fake punt in the first quarter to a long pass in the final minutes of the game, Schottenheimer continued to play fast and loose. Assuming this continues, the Chargers' highlight video for 2006 might be called "Marty Gone Wild." http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns |
