I thought they could've maybe gotten a TD if not for Scherff committing a dumb holding penalty and they starting going backwards. It was a 40 yarder at first down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraCommander Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 We need some sort of expansion team draft when we rename. No one will notice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 9 minutes ago, PartyPosse said: Taylor had 16 pass attempts, Fitz had 6. 22 in all. The game plan was to pound the ball repeatedly with a guy who has never done it before. Scott was delusional in how he thought he was gojng to dominate offensively. Pounding it was our only shot. You really think we were going to be able to throw on that secondary with this quarterback and receiver group? With Bosa going up against Cosmi for 35 or 40 snaps? Our offense is garbage and our coaches are mediocre, but even a mediocre coach can see that our only chance of beating that superior opponent was on the ground. We got shown today what an actual good QB and great WR look like. Also got shown what good coaching looks like too. We even got lucky with home cooking officiating and it didn't matter. This is just a flawed team and we're going to struggle put points up and win games where our defense isn't utterly dominant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can still NOT get a franchise quarterback and keep being somewhere between 5-12 and 10-7? Because it’s better than 7-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsman Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 54 minutes ago, PartyPosse said: So we’ve already hit the “should have drafted Herbert over Chase” hyperbole because he picked apart our inept secondary? That was fast. He had all day to throw the ball and plenty of space to step into his throws. Chase at #2 was a mistake, one that I acknowledge a lot of teams would have made. I’m just not convinced the scouts did a good job of analyzing how his strengths and weaknesses would translate to the NFL game. Very unpolished pass rusher who ate up mediocre linemen in college. He’s a good run stopper, I’ll give him that. There was chatter about trading down at the time, so not a far-fetched concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, imagine trading down with Miami for them to draft Tua, and us drafting Herbert at #6 while picking up extra draft capital. This team would be Super Bowl contenders this year.

skinsmarydu Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Still, as well as Herbert was throwing (time, no pressure, yada yada)...and we really couldn't get our offense moving consistently...we're lucky it's only a 4 point loss. (Granted, I just got home, so I haven't read everyone else's take. That's just mine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W/o Gibson's fumble inside the 10, how many points the D give up. Even had 2 takeaways and who knows how lopsided the TOP was. Rivera bet on his bread and butter. Herbert played great. Even the rook cb had tight coverage....Herbert made great throws. Zone cover has to be hella better. Herbert owned this defense, was never in danger. Some turnovers and fortuitous calls that went our way made the score look closer, but this defense got DESTROYED today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he didnt bank on the Chargers running almost 80 plays and converting 3rd downs at will. That'll keep your play count down. They ran for 126 and 4.7 a carry, that part worked out ok. The passing game was just nonexistent really. The gunslinger version of Fitz didn't get off the bus. The big play of the game was a miracle catch by Mclaurin. Otherwise, they made next to no attempt to throw past 10 yards with Fitz in, and Heinicke just isn't particularly accurate past 15-20 yards. He was airmailing throws and the ones he hit were the receiver bailing him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarExpress Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Reading this thread is depressing. I’m out of town and spent so much time trying the links on “where to watch the game” thread. Kinda glad I never got it working. Thanks for all suggestions tho. I’m still gonna hope for a good season. What’s the news on Fitz’s hip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 What today's game showed more than anything else is how far behind the 8 ball you are as a team if you don't have a franchise QB. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectation was the Chargers O line was "meh" and our D line would feast. But the reverse actually happened. They got no excuses for this Thursday -- the Giants O line is legit bad.

clskinsfan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My takeaways: Curl is the real deal. He is heading for a Pro Bowl at some point. WJ3 was a great signing. He is a beast in press. If only JDR would allow him to do it more. Heine was fine. We can win games with him at QB. Gibsons fumble at our own 5 is unacceptable. And it cost us the game. The defense had allowed 13 points until then. Scherff may be the most over payed player in the league right now. I dont know what happened to him. Ignoring Terry in the first half made no sense. Way is a Pro bowl level punter. Hopkins cant kick a field goal over 50 yards. That makes him worthless as an NFL kicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
