Is Norv Turner taking over as interim head coach a detrimental move to the team's playoff push?

And?  So have we under Rivera.  Norv and Rivera are the same type of HCs.  Chargers fans complained about Norv for the same reasons people complain about Rivera.

Those Chargers teams underachieved every year after 2007.

Dude, we have 4 teams now that would have to implode for us to make the Playoffs.

4 teams?  We're only behind the Redskins for the #6 seed if the Vikings lose, and the Redskins are guaranteed to continue losing with Colt McCoy at QB.

Again.. and?  That doesn't mean they didn't underachieve - the 2008 team should have been much better than they were.  They made the playoffs three straight years from 2007-2009 (albeit 2008 they were 8-8), but then missed 3 straight years after that.  Panthers haven't missed the playoffs 3 straight years under Rivera.

But go on, tell me how Norv is different from Rivera.

Welp, Seahawks are ahead of us. Redskins as likely as we are to win and hold the tiebreaker. I expect the Vikes to beat GB at home and be ahead of us. Even Philly at 5-6 is a threat. And if GB does win they're 5-5-1 and a problem. Having lost 3 straight and still  have 2 vs the Taints and one against the Falcons we'll be fortunate to go 9-7.

But more to Philly's topic. Norv Turner has shown time and again he is not Head Coach material but rahter a good OC. Might the offense perform better if the Rivera shackles were removed, probably so. But Eric Washington would be flying solo on defense. Yikes.

It's probably kind of a stretch to call where we are now a "playoff push", but I get what you're saying.

Honestly, I don't believe Rivera will or should be fired mid-season. There's really no benefit to it.

But I'm sorry to say that as far as the bandwagon to have him fired when this season ends, I'm officially on board.

This team has enough talent to beat any team in the league. We just have a giant mangina as our “leader”/HC.

Nothing about firing him is going to hurt our chances of making a super bowl run this season. 

Buddy we have two good defensive players, one or two JAGs and the rest will never start for another NFL team

Then it’s the same and the team can get used to the change. If it doesn’t matter than who gives a fug either way. They suck

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
