Week 1 - Post-game Thread

I give up chase for a cleared Watson.

I would still picked Chase over herbert/ tau at the time of the draft. chase was the sure bet.

We know what watson can do at the time of the draft herbert/tau were still question marks.

We tend to on times here make statements with the power of hindsight.


We also tend to overhype players, coaches and the team in general.

Ala “top 5 defense”

I said this before the game yesterday I said the Chargers are a playoff team. I think now that offense could be a top 5 offense. We will look back and see 20 points is one of the lowest allowed to them all year.

My problem with yesterday is that this team looked completely unprepared to play and I blame that on Rivera. For a guy who talks so much about preparation and execution WFT didn't have either.

A rookie head coach on the other side of the field too. Ron, JDR should be embarrassed

Very reasonable take - couple things I disagree on. This offense is not good enough to win games when the d is not having a good day. And 14/18 on third downs - which ties the single game record for most third downs converted for an opposing team at Fedex - is a bad day for the D.

Totally agree about the offense, that's why I said this loss is on Turner and the offense.

The defense largely didn't look great, especially between the 20s, but holding that team to 20 points or less should result in a win.

If you're looking at giving up 20 points as some sort of victory for the D I don't know what game you were watching. LA basically did what they wanted all game long (gave up 424 yards), they controlled the clock especially in the 4th quarter (36 min TOP for LA), and we gave up 14/19 on 3rd downs including that 3rd and 16. Just a terrible all around performance. This is not an elite defense, hell it's not even decent right now.

I’m not actually mad at this game. A lot of little things caused us to lose. Ron gambling, Gibson fumbling, Scherffs penalty that knocked us out of FG range.

Overall the offense looked like night and day with Heinicke in. I liked that. My main issue isn’t with them.

But that defense especially the LB and CB play was fucking clown shoes. St-Juste was garbage so was Fuller. The only LB I saw making plays was Holcomb. That shit has gotta change.

To hang in and just lose by a couple scores with that terrible defense doesn’t make me mad. It does make me seriously concerned about the D though. And I get it Herbert one of a kind player blah blah but for everyone coming in saying this D is one of the best in the league, they got completely embarrassed.

It could have been worse point wise. Def not a victory for the defense…the 3rd downs were the back breaker.

What is this the Kirk Cousins curse? Ever since he left we've had a big time injury bug at QB.

My 12 YO who happens to be a QB also was cracking up when Fitz went to the tunnel.. He says the same thing we all say.. CURSED
