Dumb AND Lame Norv Apologist. . .

I love Bill Parcells, but this is downright dumb!

The new coaches also do not have the same understanding of the AFC West. It's almost like playing an out-of-conference game when you don't really know your division opponents extremely well. It goes mostly unseen, but a big part of this season for the Chargers is getting their coaches acclimated to the nuances of playing in that division.

Now I understand why the Chargers have had trouble; not understanding the AFC West means they have a tough schedule of:

Bear (NFC Central)
Pats (AFC East)
Pack (NFC Central)

Maybe it is time to face the facts: Norv is a bad coach. Stop trying to sugar coat it. . . Think about the double standard! Gruden won in his first year in TB with "Dungy's team." He switched conference and division. Must be magic dust at work, because after a switch, it seems like you get no credit for either improvement or taking a step back.

Bill, even if I was to believe you this was so tough, your successor in Dallas seems to be doing OK with the same hurdles. . .
