Does San Diego Have A Chance

This is a question many people are asking themsleves and it could be real interesting for a couple of different reasons. Of course San Diego has a chance to win against New England. The Patriots want to keep going the role they are on and the Chargers want to prove they belong. It will be a long climb for San Diego, but one they can do.

The key to this game will be the Chargers defense that has played well and will have a stern test this weekend against the No.1 offense in the NFL. It should be a very interesting game and we will just have to wait and see what happens in this one.

Tom Osborne Named Temporary AD

Tom Osborne is once again part of the Nebraska Cornhusker family as he took the job as AD until they can find someone to replace Steve Pederson who was let go Monday. Pederson was the guy that Osborne told Nebraska to hire, but the relationship soured after the firing of his close friend Frank Solich is is now coach the Ohio Bobcats.

Bill Callahan hasn't been asked to quit just yet and I don't look for Osborne to ask him to either. If no improvement is seen than look for changes quickly. Osborne isn't a guy who stands pat especially when you talk about losing. Osborne is use to winning and won't stand long for losing especially by large scores. I'm sure Callahan will be on a very short leash.

Nebraska Fires AD

The Nebraska Cornhuskers fired their athletic director Steve Pederson citing lack of the football program showing progress. Trust me being a longtime Nebraska Cornhusker fan it runs a lot deeper than just the athletic director. First of all firing Frank Solich was a mistake as even though he did struggle he learned under Tom Osborne and knew a lot about the program. In fact Osborne even put in a good word for him and he still got fired.

Nebraska hasn't had a coach in there in awhile that has been able to bring top recruits into the program. Nebraska now gets the 6th and seventh best player around. This is why they are getting blown out all the time and can't stop anyone on defense. In fact for most Nebraska fans it's getting downright embarrassing. Firing the AD might be a start but the truth is they have many problems that are going to take years to fix. So this firing isn't really going to make any big difference. It's going to take time.

Now We Know It's Not Rex Grossman

Rex Grossman was benched in favor of Brian Griese and what has that done for the Bears nothing really. Grossman isn't the problem and until the Bears fix there problems they will keep losing. Griese is finding out that as quarterback of the Chicago bears. Grossman was benched in favor Griese and so far the results haven't really made much of a difference.

Looking deeper into the problems of the Bears you can see many flaws. The wide receivers are at best average. They get no separation from the there defensive man which puts the quarterback in a bad position. The defense isn't very good this year as they are missing some people, but the bottom line you have to make plays. Grossman isn't the problem and until you address the other problems they results will continue to be the same.
