Philip Rivers was upset that Norv Turner went for a 55 yard FG

With just under three minutes left in the second quarter, the San Diego Chargers were on the Saints thirty-six yard line. With his starting kicker out and a back up in Nick Novak in, Head coach Norv Turner decided to try a 55 yard field goal. Novak missed the long field goal and starting quarterback Philip Rivers was not too happy. The video below shows Rivers yelling at the head coach “you’ve gotta punt the ball, Norv”. Rivers yelled for nothing because the Saints blew the good field position and did not score on the following drive. Rivers seems to be going along the same route as Jay Cutler. Both seem to think they are better than they really are. Check out the gif below:

DA BEARS!

Via The Pass Rush  |  October 07, 2012
Top pick this week was DA BEARS. Bears win 41-3. Enough said. No pick for Sunday Night. San Diego Chargers @ New Orleans Saints (-3.5) is a toss up to me. If you want to play it, you’re better off flipping a coin. I’m taking the Chargers +3.5 in the pick ‘em league, but not putting my money on it. I already made a killing thanks to DA BEARS and stand to gain even more if I...
