It's really rather believable.
We learned all we needed after watching the two men calling plays on the sideline tonight. Norv didn't rise to the occasion...Dungy did.
How you could call a timeout before a FG try and possibly leave an additional 30 seconds on the clock for one of the best QBs of our generation who would only have to take it into game winning FG attempt territory is beyond us. We'll take it one step further though....why not go for it on 4th down instead of attempting a FG from a distance that Nate Kaeding has missed on 6 of his previous 9 attempts? Then you have a chance to not only win the game but you ensure that , at best, Peyton Manning won't touch the ball until the overtime session. The answer to that is quite simple really....Norv Turner has no guts....and he never will.
We Call For Norv's Head based solely on a hypothetical though. What would Norv have done in Dungy's position? A 4th and inches scenario with less than a minute to go in a tie game? Norv would have punted. Dungy went for it...WITH A PASS PLAY! Norv Turner would have punted the football away because he's a cautious little pussy.
We've seen outstanding Defensive Adjustments made by DC Ron Rivera, the kind that actually make watching our D palatable. Where are the offensive adjustments? We had 10 points on the board with 5:40 left in the game against a mediocre defense who was missing Bob Sanders, a former Defensive Player of the Year. Norv Turner, Offensive guru? Terrible.
Our Mixed Fruit Plate is Half Full though.....the Broncos suck, with another home loss, this time to the Oakland Raiders. The Donks' schedule, for the remainder, is a rough one too....that alone provides hope! But when you couple it with a defense on the cum there is reason for optimism....we just need an offensive adjustment from the preeminent offensive mind of our generation.....yes we mean Norv....
...like we said... Half Full!
