It's been a long time since 1994-1998. Time heals the wounded heart, and I think there's been some selective amnesia amongst Redskins fans as to how bad those teams really were.

Not saying Norv was flawless, and I'm not calling for his return or anything. But I'll go on record as saying that many in Washington will wonder what might have been once they see what the Chargers do this year.

How about the legendary collapse of '96? That was a talented team that shouldn't have gone 2-6 down the stretch to miss the playoffs.

The '97 team was talented too but couldn't win the games they were supposed to win.

Norv is a dud as a head coach and he's only going to prove it in San Diego. They'll crack under the pressure, just like he always did here.

I think some fans do have some selective amnesia when it comes to Norv and have forgotten how crappy he really was as a head coach.

I'll never understand the support and excuses for a coach who is 58-82-1.
