Chargers at Steelers Postgame notes

-Steelers WR Nate Washington is a weapon. He's a third receiver that could start for alot of teams. The Ravens have a weak group of corners, and if the Steelers feel comfortable enough with their pass protection, they should run a lot of three wide and even four wide sets.
-If I'm the Chargers, I don't just evaluate Norv Turner through the last six weeks of the season. This still is a supposedly supremely talented that was once 4-8 this year. Even without some of the bad breaks, they still underachieved this year. Think about this: How many elite players did you think the Chargers had at the beginning of this year, and how many elite players would you consider the Chargers have now? These players have been coached poorly, and the most glaring case of this has been the absolute regression of CB's Antonio Cromartie and Quentin Jammer. 
Really the only two bullish players on the Chargers have been Philip Rivers and Darren Sproles. Too many young players, too much raw talent, and to see all of them either be stagnant or regress in their level of play is unacceptable. Should one playoff victory really seal Norv Turner's fate with this team?
-This game could have been much more lopsided. I thought the level of talent on these teams were comparable?

  1. Norv Turner is perhaps the greatest coach in NFL history. He is simply the victim of a lot of bad breaks.
