Some pick your poison thoughts while watching last night's SD-KC game.
One: what is it going to take to finally bring Norv's HC career to a merciful end?
Two: Is it worth the cost of extending Haley's HC tenure with a key divisional win in order to add another wrenching and avoidable loss to Norv's resume?
