08:00 AM ET 10.16 | Denver's remarkable comeback win came at the expense of what appears to be a team in decline. [The] Chargers made enough mistakes on both sides of the ball to fill Norv Turner's hate mail box 10 times over, and it's already the size of Australia. Norv was even asked after this one if, with the bye week coming up and all, he thinks this might be the end for him. "I'm not going to comment on that," Turner said. But I can't ever remember Norv being asked that question in public. ... No, it would be surprising if Turner weren't allowed to ride it out to what almost certainly appears will be a bitter end. You look for progress. There isn't any. Just when you think all is well, the sky falls around Norv, who continuously says this can be a good team.

Norv Turner and Andy Reid: two coaches who defy the odds. They could play golf in a thunderstorm and not get struck by lightening.

Nothing new here. Although I don't think Norv threw 4 picks and fumbled twice, he's going to get the blame for this disaster and pundits will continue to say that Phillip Rivers is a great QB.

Seems ole Norv just can't get over the hump. Always pushing that stone up the hill.

And neither of them would break a hundred.

It's OK. He just wants to break in after you're asleep and paint "Hail to the Redskins" in big letters on your living room wall.

He litterally looks lost after games. Like lost as in, "what the bleep happened" with the same stupid look on his face. Like Wade Philips, a great coordinator, terrible, horrible coach.

As bad as Andy Reid's stock is right now, he doesn't deserve to be thrown into the same category as Norv Turner.

Norv's failed in three different cities, has a career losing record and has never gotten as far as Andy Reid in the postseason. There's a notable distance between their resumes.
