he made the right choice having the surgery. i think his game last week convinced him that playing wasn't the way to go.

San Diego fans are witnessing the "norvizing" of their beloved chargers. Today, was hardly Norv's fault but it seems like losses like these have followed him throughout his career. Just like week one against the panthers at home.

The Chargers will be lucky to break .500 this year and even luckier to make the playoffs and its not because of talent. Norv is just not a good coach.

That was as bad of a call as you will ever see. It sucks when the zebras can have such an outcomeon the final result. As far as the two point conversion goes, it speaks volumes about how much faith Shanahan must have in his defense.

Clearly the ref made a mistake by blowing his whistle, but once it's blown the play is dead. The proper ruling was made. None of us had to make that quick decision from the angle that EH had, and he was probably caught off guard by it.

As for Shanahan, gutsy call. Guess he figured most OTs are decided on the coin toss. Must've thought his odds were better on one play from the three yard line.

well, he was at the game. turned out to be the correct call, but he'd have gotten quite a lot of heat had it failed.
