Chargers vs. Broncos "Preview"

This is it, folks. For all the marbles. We win this one and we control our own destiny. Lose and the Broncos are in the driver's seat. Actually in all likelihood the Chargers are in the midst of a late season surge and the Broncos are coming back down to earth, but the drama felt nice didn't it?

Now as far as actual football goes this one should be an open-and-shut case. The Broncos are either starting Kyle Orton's injured ankle or Chris Simms' injured ability to play football. Not a great situation, unless of course you're Shawne Merriman. The Chargers are also one of very few defenses to just-about-shut-down Brandon Marshall this season. As far as talent goes the Bolts are a decent special teams performance away from having this completely sewn up.

But then we get to coaching. In one corner, Josh McDaniels NFL wunderkind coach extraordinaire. The former disciple of the great Bill Belichick, striking out on his own and seeing immediate success. McDaniels has been nothing short of incredible this season. He started off by ousting Jay Cutler (which has turned out to be an awesome decision) and bringing in Tom Brady disguised as Kyle Orton (kidding, but you get the point). In the other corner, Norv Turner. Norv Turner is Norv Turner, and that has never been a good thing.

I'm worried.
