In addition to my annual insistence for anyone to bring me the skull of Norv Turner, I add another request: bring me the skull of Ed Hochuli. I doubt either will be missed.
Not just the one, but remember the fumble call in the first quarter. That set up a Denver TD too. Funny that the review system would be mysteriously "not functioning." That's the sort of thing I'd expect at Gillette Stadium, not Mile High.
I've been thinking about how some coaches' post-game rants rattle off profanity or tirades against officiating and then get fined ludicrous sums. If it had been me, today, after that game, I would've gotten my money's worth, because if I'd have known a profane or incendiary or otherwise forbidden word, I'd have used it as many times as I could. And nobody watching the game can say that it wouldn't have been warranted.
I still expect Norv to be his insipid, gelatinous self, to roll over and take it like a good little marshmallow. If it were Marty, there'd already be four dead and a hostage situation at Mile High, and I'd be driving out to help him reload.
Speaking of spineless coaches, I've finally given up on "Hrm" Edwards. Every shot of him on the sidelines makes him look like he's wondering if he left the iron on. You're down by 8 points with 4 minutes left in the game. You haven't been able to stop the run all day. So what do you do? You kick it deep! Unfortunately, Bernard Pollard, warrior that he is, damn near justified his coach's bad decision. Fortunately, Tyler-don't-call-me-Bobby Thigpen sealed the loss for us.
It's not like Herm hasn't had enough weapons to build a team around. It just seems like he plays his football, regardless of what the talent on his roster is, or what they're capable of.
The West has gone from dominant division to dormant, and we'll get further excruciating examples of this as the non-conference games kick in. I would probably sack every head coach in the West. Norv I'd charge with war crimes.
Yeah, I never understood what people saw in Herm. I thought he was mediocre at best with the Jets; I thought it was highway robbery that they got a fourth-round draft pick for him. I'd have given that up to get rid of him if I were the Jets.
