The first paragraph is here:
At one time, the next four weeks looked very difficult on the Chargers’ schedule:
Baltimore; at Kansas City; at Tennessee; Detroit.
All of a sudden, the schedule does not look quite as imposing.
Baltimore comes here Sunday on a four-game losing streak. Kansas City is out of running backs, among other things.
Tennessee has lost two straight. Detroit is a 6-5 team in a tailspin.

Chargers 23, Ravens 14
Texas Christian University 37, San Diego State 20

It can’t be head coach Norv Turner. (How can you blame him for the fact he has never won anywhere as a head coach and is 10-26 in his last 36 games in such a role?)
Now that we take the tongue out of our cheeks, let’s get serious for a minute.
Sadly, the man who will probably take the fall if the Chargers continue on their path to destruction in 2007 is defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell.
The Chargers will have to blame somebody, and they’re sure not going to blame the fair-haired boys Smith and Turner.
After all, Smith is the best general manager in […]
