Csup Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 It’s Washington. I expect mediocrity. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I think what stings the most about the performance on defense is that they are returning with an upgraded unit on paper. The linebacker position is the only unit I felt was not upgraded and could be a liability, but from what I saw, while they didn't excel today, they weren't the main reason the defense was getting pushed all over the field.

MarkMissoula Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not frustrated, just used to it. This team hasn't been relevant since 91-92 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D’Pablo Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 When offenses are routinely looking at quick hitters against us, do we know to play press coverage? Seemed like pure conservative idiocy to consistently play our guys 5-10 yards off in soft zone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. Seemed like way to many receptions given up in the flat. And of course #53 running around with his head cut off on 3rd and longs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Once people accept that this team is so far away from contending they will start to calm down. We don't have any playmakers on offense aside from McLaurin and our QBs are average at best. As good as our defense is supposed to be, there are still lots of question marks particularly at LB and the secondary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) It’s week one. We played like crap, lost our qb and still hung in there. Thursday is big and I won’t be bringing any preseason week 4 baggage into that game. Edited September 12, 2021 by TryTheBeal! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Nope. Watched most of the game, but I’ve become an extreme casual fan of the team. Such a better way to experience things 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big problem for me because these were the exact problems we had last year. We have the same offense, had to use the same QB at the end of last season, Have terrible linebackers. What exactly did we improve on from last season? We let a starting Tackle walk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D’Pablo Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My issues with the team: bad defensive/offensive schemes, ****ty ****ty tackling, no one on offense can break a tackle outside of Gibson, linebackers and secondary are lost, offensive line is not good at pass blocking or sustaining blocks, and undisciplined overall. This team seemed soft, over confident, and physically incapable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Yep. Frustrated is the emotion for me definitely. From all the good news we heard during training camp, and then to show up like that? Seriously? The team seems like they believed the hype. They have to realize they haven’t proven anything yet. if we lose Thursday night, this season could get away from us quickly.

GOATFrerotte Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not too frustrated. I fully expect a healthy Chargers squad with Herbert in his 2nd year to be very good and we had our chances even if the refs helped a little and Chargers probably should have scored more. I got beat to a pulp last year when I said I expected more from a #2 pick in Chase Young in the pass rush. We’ll see if he picks it up but today wasn’t great. Overall still a chance this year, played bad and had a chance to beat a competitive team. Wasn’t like we lost to the Broncos or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I missed the game but looking at the stats the LAC offense ran 80 plays to the WFT 55. Hard to win games when you let the opponent run 25 more plays than own your offense runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_friend_goo Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Past few seasons I've lasted no more than a couple of games before deciding to instead to pick an interesting matchup on a Sunday (usually my second choice as Sky Sports pick my first, resulting in a 24 hour blackout). I'll watch Washington games after the event if it turns out to be worth the time investment. I'll gladly accept that it's not the sign of a great fan, but the sheer frustration was making my Sunday evenings miserable. This way I maintain a much better mood and it's better for those around me. On the flip side, I find it harder to get as engrossed in a game featuring two teams I have no attachment to. I'm not proud of it, but I was pretty much done with the team in Gruden's last season. Rivera eventually encouraged me to at least give them a shot. It's only week one, but I'm guessing this season is going to be much the same. I expect the giants to make us look stupid as usual in Thursday night. At least with the time difference I can wake up on Friday morning and make a choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profusion Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Yeah, this was a frustrating game. The third-down conversions by the Chargers we're ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBNG Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not sure winning 4 games this year will win us the NFCE again, but at least we'll be in line for our franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Instead of building, it feels like they took two steps back. Hell, two steps is being generous. They look like the team with the rookie head coach whose rested all his players throughout the preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If anything we should have maybe traded a 2nd and 4th or something this year to move up for Mac Jones. Herbert was not on anyone's radar here. Anyone who says otherwise is full of BS. I won't even listen to that arguement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I always like watching Terry. They should have thrown to receivers more. The defense got shredded to my surprise. Rookie St. Juste got handled. We’ve got to get things right for Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) On the plus side, I'm feeling thankful we didn't trade for Aaron Rodgers. Could just be out of gear from the offseason, but he looks kind of washed up. Lots of overthrows. Edited September 12, 2021 by NickyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds good but our O line couldn't block, it's why Fitz got hurt and to me it looked like they called the game knowing they would have no time for those deeper routes to develop.
