Did Norv Turner Cause The San Diego Chargers To Lose Monday Night?

Looking at the NFL this year has been tough in a sense. What I mean is I have witness some good football, then watch as coaches put their teams in bad positions.

To me a coaches primary responsibility is to get their team prepared for the upcoming team. Once that is accomplished, it's their responsibilty to put their teams in position to win ball games and not cost them 2-3 games a season with their play calling.

Now last night on Monday night football, we saw as the an Diego Chargers went into halftime with a commanding 24 point lead against the Denver Broncos. Now as a coach, you know adjustments have to be made at halftime.

Down by 24 points at the half, Denver had no choice but to get aggresive on both sides of the ball. The Chargers coaching staff should know this. Instead of working with the clock and just move the ball for first downs with run plays and passes, coaches just continued to let Rivers get hammered and cough up the ball. Even if you don't get but 2 first downs a series, keeping that clock ticking in the second half means less possessions for the Broncos.Points off turnovers in the second half is the coaches fault, even though it was Rivers who coughed it up.

Last monday night, we saw how the Jets coaching staff were calling all their time outs in the game against the Texans because they could not get the right personnel in the game. After Tebow runs one play, they have to call time out because of switching quarterbacks. This happened twice during the game. Not one of these quarterbacks were able to get in a groove because of the switching. Not only were they not controlling the clock, their play calling was just ridiculous. All those trick plays were just not necessary.

After the Jets score and bring the team within 6 points with 6 minutes to go, the dam coach calls an onside kick. The Texans recover with a short field and seals the game with a field goal. So instead of a one possession game and letting your defense do its job, the coaching staff gives the opposing team the ball with a short field and kills their chances.

For the sake of this article, I want get into the calls from the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff. Coaches need to just coach the game and quit causing their team the chance to win each game.

Have you seen any games that you felt coaches caused the team a chance to win the game. Leave your comment below to discuss.

Denver Broncos Makes A Second Half Charge To Defeat The Chargers On Monday Night Football

The San Diego Chargers were on their way to what appeared to be a blowout against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.

Special Teams played a huge factor in the first quarter, as 2 fumbles lead to 10 points for the Chargers. Things didn't get any better as Peyton Manning gets intercepted for another Chargers score. Chargers went into halftime leading the Broncos 24-0.

Second half was totally reversed as we witness the Chargers turning the ball over and not scoring a single point, and the Broncos scoring at will.

The defense of the Broncos really took over this game in the second half getting turnovers and giving the Broncos momentum.

The Broncos gets their first lead in the game with 9:09 left in the fourth quarter, as Manning connects with Stokely for a 21 yard touchdown to give them a 28-24 advantage.

As Phillip Rivers tries to lead his team back, the Broncos intercepts a pass and takes it in for a touchdown and seals the game for Denver 35-24.

On the night Manning completed 24-30 passes for 309 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Houston Texans Defeats New York Jets On Monday Night Football

Last night the Houston Texans remains undefeated as they defeated the New York Jets 23-17. Looking at this game last night, I believe the Jets could have defeated the Texans.

The coaching staffing primary responsibility is to get their team prepared for whoever their playing. Once the game begins, their job is to put their team in a position to win each game.

I thought the Jets coaching staff really cost this team the oppotunity to win this game. I thought I was watching a college game looking at all the trick plays the Jets were trying to run. If you can get away with one trick play in the NFL you have accomplished a goal, but trying to run several is just bad coaching.

Now, I will let you know why I believe the coaching staff were responsible for this lost. In the 4th quarter, the Jets scored a touchdown on special teams, which brought the Jets to within a 1 possession game 6 points). We all know that possessions and time outs are crucial in the 4th quarter.

After scoring this touchdown and putting the team in a position to win the game, the dumb coaching staff kicks an on-side kick, which was recovered by the Texans. It was still 6 minutes or more to go in the game so this was not necessary. The Texans with a SHORT FIELD because of the on-side kick goes on to score a field goal and now makes it a two possession game leading by 9 points. The Jets didn't recover from this and lose the game by 6 points.

In closing, I think the Jets need to quit trying to run Tebow and Sanchez in and out. They cost themselves 2 timeouts because of personnel mistakes. If you are going to play two quarterbacks, then let them play a series. Rex Ryan needs to quit being a cocky coach and costing his team the chance of winning games.
