Just checking out Charger reaction to their record so far this season. To state that they upset is putting it mildly as you will see. Sure glad Jerry hired Wade & Jason Garrett & not Turner. If Chargers unable to return to 06 winning ways, Turner won't make it through the season. Wonder what Charger players thinking after watching our Cowboys dismantle Bears 37-10 to go 3-0. There might be a lot of FA Charger players after 07 season who interested in playing in Dallas on both sides of the ball.

LUCKY US: I would like to thank the Dolphins, Cowboys, Steelers, Falcons, Raiders and Cardinals for not hiring Norv Turner and saving him for us when you had a head coaching job opening. Happy birthday, Marty Schottenheimer! Bet your day was better than ours (the fans).
PAUL RENDON, Chula Vista
POETRY IN MOTION: The Pack is back, the Chargers are whack, please fire Turner and bring Schottenheimer back.
PAUL CONRAD, Clairemont
PESKY PLAYOFFS: Well, A.J., at least we don't have to worry about the Chargers losing in the first round of the playoffs this year.
CHRIS SCHATZLE, San Diego
AH, THE GOOD OL' DAYS: So, going 14-2 isn't as easy as it seems.
EVANS KONTOPULS, San Diego
NO SUNDAY DRIVE: Norv Turner was given the keys to a Chargers team that was compared to a Ferrari. After two games, it's suddenly driving like a Yugo.
SCOTT GULBRANSEN, Carlsbad
KICKED TO THE CURB: I watched the game and then took out the trash. Taking out the trash was more fun.
R. GRAF, San Diego
KID STUFF: While watching this year's games with a 6-year-old, I listen to his first-grade commentary: “Why does LT keep running into the middle if it doesn't work?” “Why can't our guys make them not catch so many passes?” My adult answers: “Play calling and the secondary.” If a 6-year-old can see the problems, why can't the coaches?

NO DEFENDING THIS: The Chargers don't miss Marty Schottenheimer; they miss Wade Phillips. The defense has been horrible this season – vs. Green Bay, no takeaways, feeble pressure on Brett Favre, 14 fourth-quarter points and opposing receivers running free all day. Marlon McCree gets the award for worst performance. Somebody please tell him that they don't play two-hand touch in the NFL. What a disaster.
DAVID MARSHALL, San Diego
A PAPER CUT: With another embarrassing Chargers loss, it's not surprising that people are asking for paper bags at the supermarket.
JACK BRIGGS, La Jolla
A MARATHON SEASON: Every time the Chargers lose, I go for a long run. I've been running a lot this year.

COTTRELL GETS A 'D': The cure to healing the Chargers defense is firing Ted Cottrell. He single-handedly turned the best defense in the league into one of the most porous. While the offense showed up, the defense remained dormant because Cottrell continues to put the brakes on them. Where is the pass rush? Where are the sacks? History should have taught Dean Spanos a lesson with the Bobby Beathard vs. Bobby Ross ordeal. Next time, Spanos, just ignore the GM when he says it's time to fire a winning football coach. Here's one prayer for Marty Schottenheimer returning to San Diego.
PAUL ROMANENKO, San Diego
TWO MORE W'S THAN BOLTS: The Chargers get a WWW for worst-coached, worst-prepared and worst pass defense two weeks in a row. It's a joke to fans that a 14-2 team thought they could improve this year by removing the head coach who got them there. We had no chance (yesterday) when our offense was high school predictable and our defense could not defend the pass or pressure the quarterback.
JOE DEVLIN, Point Loma
THROWBACK DAY: This was a coach's loss. Norv, you play to win the game, and you didn't do that with your play-calling late in the fourth quarter. Run, run, pass. I thought that maybe Dan Henning was calling the plays. And Ted Cottrell, we have a new scheme in the NFL since you were pushing paper at NFL headquarters: It's called the blitz.
JOE LARKIN, Rancho Bernardo
STARK, RAVEN MAD: Toto, are we in Baltimore again? I thought Martyball was gone. Get a lead, go in your shell, lose the game. At least Marty knew how to get the team ready to play. This is beyond the new coach/new team excuse.
TRAVIS ROBBINS, Oceanside
PICKING ON THE GM: It's really pathetic when an aging Brett Favre can beat “the most talented team in the NFL.” What's next, a loss to the Raiders? A.J. Smith needs to realize that sometimes he needs to swallow his pride. He may be a genius at picking players, but he has no clue how to pick a head coach.
STEVE KANE, Oceanside
TIME MANAGEMENT: When will the Chargers learn that you have to kill the clock to win the game? With less than a touchdown lead, you can't leave that much time on the clock and give the ball back to a team with Brett Favre at quarterback. He knows how to win games at the end. If you manage the clock properly, you may manage to win the game.
MATT TAVAREZ, Oceanside
JUST SAY KNOW: When Philip Rivers stares down his receiver, we all know where he's throwing. When Lorenzo Neal breaks his stance and drifts to his left, we all know where LT will be running. When the Chargers line up first-and-10, we all know the blitz is coming. When we're getting stuffed inside our own 10, we all know a quick slant pass works and sometimes goes for long yards. Why don't our coaches know these things?
