Football Just want to say good luck... - Page 4

Mile High Mania · 09-10-2009, 10:35 AM

The season starts tonight and while we all enjoy delivering a cyber-kick to the groin every now and then to those with various team affliliations, good luck. It's going to be an interesting season, likely very depressing at times for those of us tied to teams in the AFCW... but, it is what it is.

Have fun and don't get too caught up with it one way or the other. It's just a game and we're all here just to have some good 'spirited fun'. Hopefully, KC and Denver surprise us all and they make a run for being more than 'respectable'. I really can't wait until the AFCW is a tough division again, it's better for everyone when that happens.

So - enjoy, keep slingin' the smack and have a fun season.

Oh, here's to Ray Rice putting a whoopin' on KC... need him to rock in one of my leagues this week.

Amazing.

It's like the NFL version of Stockholm Syndrome or something.

Are there other coaches I'd rather have than Norv Turner? Absolutely.

Do I think that having Norv Turner as the Chargers Head Coach will hinder them from winning a Super Bowl? No.

Do I think its Norv Turner's Fault that the Chargers have had fewer wins than the previous season the last two seasons? No.

Go Ahead and find me a team that has ever won 14 games in back to back seasons. 14 to 11 is not that bad, all things considered. You'd kill for an 11 win season.

I don't see how anybody can blame the 8 win season of last year on Norv Turner. The Chargers were injured, plain and simple. Our O-Line was hampered all year with injuries, Merriman missed the last 15 games of the season. Gates and LT were hobbled much of the season.

Not to mention our horrible Defensive Coordinator Ted Cottrell. As soon as Ron Rivera took over our Defensive improved drastically and we wen't from a 4-8 team to a playoff contender.

The Chargers were also one horribly blown call away from a 9 win season, lets not forget that.

By the way, I don't come in here and act like I know all about the Chiefs (or the Broncos).

I think its funny when you guys think I'm an idiot when I give my opinion about the Chargers when I say they are going to be good. I doubt there is one person on this message board who knows the Chargers more than I do. They are my team, I follow them throughout the entire year, which I doubt anyone else here does with the Chargers.

So yeah, go ahead and laugh now, we'll see what happens.

Yeah, almost up to Herm's standards.

Mile High Mania · 09-10-2009, 02:21 PM

You know... looking back at what he did with CLE, KC and SD, it's a shame Marty was pushed out and is not coaching right now. Sure, the guy had 0 good luck in the playoffs, but he was consistent in the regular season.

Quick who were the 2 star WRs during the Air Coryell days?
What was the nickname of the defense during that same era?

I don't know.

John Jefferson and Wes Chandler?

No clue on the Defense.

Keep in mind I was born in 1986.

That's not our fault.

Guess I never realized that... you weren't even a year old during "The Drive".

You were 11 and 12 when Denver won their SBs.

You were 7 the last time KC won a playoff game.

Some of us are ancient enough to have been watching them for 20 years longer than you. I used to love watching Danny Fouts and the boys get busy on Sundays.
BTW your defense was pretty damn good in the early 80s (I think it was the early 80s), they were called The Bruise Brothers.

You do realize you posted this on Chiefs Planet, right? The only place I know where us Chiefs fans fight amongst ourselves.

It's not fighting it's just spirited debating.

Well thats fine, sure you've been watching them longer, but I guaran-damn-tee you that I know more about their current squad.

And, that should really help Norv.

Good on you, I'm sure you know more about your own team than I do. You better.
You're 23 which means you better be watching your team each Sunday still slightly drunk from the night before while trying to remember who it was you slept with.

I love the default, "Norv" bash. Its the only thing that you guys can come up with.

You are just as good as Raider Fans pointing out how many rings they have any time they want to make fun of your squad.
