Yeah, I remember that game clearly (January of 2007)...the Charger DB only needed to bat the ball down on 4th down and the Chargers would have got the ball at midfield with the lead and only a few minutes left. Oh but no, he had to make the intercept on the sideline and run it back towards the middle of the field where it was stripped and recovered by the Pats. That was one of the toughest beats that a team can have. Spanos did fire Schottenheimer because he and the GM A.J. Smith didn't get along. Marty in fact wanted to keep Brees in spite of the injury but Smith nixed the idea and pushed Rivers on him. Also, Spanos mentioned in his firing statement the loss of coaching staff as some sort of proof of instability, hell two of them were offered head coaching jobs (Cam Cameron and Wade Phillips). Spanos was/is a gutless worm and a liar. Then the Chargers hired Norv Turner to replace Schottenheimer and he took the franchise down the toilet. Tomlinson's heart was ripped out when Marty left. Schottenheimer wanted to hire one of his sons to his coaching staff and A.J. Smith who polished Spanos' knob daily nixed that idea also. Schottenheimer never got another head coaching job in the NFL again, I think Spanos blacklisted him...Marty might not have ever won the big one but he sure could game plan on defense and he was a great head coach IMO. McCoy's team got in his first year and they won on the road in Cincy. Then nothing until Lynn took over. I just don't blame Rivers for the front office and poor coaching he has had to overcome.

And he covered the spread, don't forget that part.He went 3-0 ATS in the playoffs that year. Right but the title of the thread was 'has Rivers ever won a big title game'...big to me means meaningful as against a top drawer team or as in a conference championship game and the answer is no, he hasn't. I am not convinced he will this Sunday either. Rivers had a better team in the 2006 season with Tomlinson and a younger Antonio Gates, Michael Turner, Lorenzo Neal et. al. and lost in San Diego. He was 14 of 32 for 230 yards 1 interception, 1 fumble lost and 0 tds. Rivers is 0-7 against Brady so for you guys who believe in revenge, isn't this a worthy spot for it to happen? Yeah, good luck with that revenge theory...old Tom isn't ready for the glue factory just yet. |

Yeah, I had similar thoughts...I remember Rivers always losing in big games. His actual record is 5-5 in postseason play with 11 tds and 9 interceptions...sacked 21 times...was in one conference championship after the 2007 season versus the Patriots in Foxborough and he was 19 for 37 for 211 yards and 2 interceptions and no tds. |

How would LSU do against a college all star team? Take the best players off every other team in college and let them play together for like 5 years. An NFL team is even better than that.
