[quote=OmahaRedskins;1289994]We still do not have a QB. The offense needs to be able to score more than 16 points. We couldn't score touchdowns in the pre-season and we couldn't today.

The defense held them to 20 points.

They lost the turnover battle, missed a FG, and our stud RB put the ball on the turf twice.[/quote]

The defense arguably held them to 13 points -- the TO on our own 4 yard line was a 7 point gift, basically. But let's not confuse that fact with the defense playing well because they didn't. The 3rd down conversion rate is all you need to look at for confirmation; we were dreadful in that department. The offense didn't help for sure, but Herbert had more than enough time and picked us apart, including on some third and very longs. Overall, it didn't seem that the team was ready for prime time. Not so for the Chargers and their rookie coach and staff who looked more the part than our guys today.

So disappointing. Losing to the Giants and starting 0-2 would be pretty bad. We have a bunch of tough opponents ahead of us, and it's hard to see where our wins will come from. Short week, and a gut check ahead folks. I do hope we bounce back with a strong game on Thursday.

[quote=FrenchSkin;1289973]St Juste wasn't that bad, but he's a rookie and him getting targeted as he was was foreseeable...

Call me arm chair GM all you want, but cutting Moreland didn't look like a good decision today.

Nor did not signing any LB...

And (but that'd be the most logical of the 3) neither did cutting Moses.

Those 3 questionable decisions are already biting us in our asses...

Couldn’t agree more, getting rid of Moreland and Moses was a bad idea. I think it’s Ron trying to get rid of the previous regime holdovers which in this case was dumb.

I’m not surprised at all by this loss,Not happy about it but not in the least bit surprised.
The thing that pisses me off the most is Rivera wanting to go back to Fitz! Why! He didn’t look good in preseason, he sucked today,meanwhile Heiney comes in and sparks the team. And the way the off line is blocking we need somebody back there that can scramble.WTF is wrong with you Rivera? Wise the f up man

Nothing against Fitz .. however we need a mobile QB .. saw that first hand today ! As bad of a loss as this is it was not because of Taylor .. actually I believe if we stopped them on the 3rd and 16 we get the ball in good field position and score ..

Agree, I still can’t get over the oline play. What’s Charles doing inactive by the way? Fuckin Leno and Cosmi looked bad. Schreff penalty today backing up the kick?

I thought Ron wanted an improved oline play? Leno and Cosmi < Lucas and Moses round 1.

Flowers looked good…schreff sealed some nice runs.

But I was expecting better pass pro. I look across and Chargers did a better job against our guys.

That’s where I looking for better play Thursday night. I need to see some people pissed off from that bullshit performance.

JDR needs to reevaluate 3rd down defense. You brought people in to play man, i saw zones busted and missed tackles constant today. JFC

Im fuckin livid at this horse shit performance

Re: Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

Glad we franchise tagged Scherff again. He can eat a big full bowl of dicks. Franchise learned absolutely nothing from the Cousins debacle.

Re: Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

I really Collins could move up and get Bostic snaps at LB. I rather have Curl, McLain Collins when we gotta play some more dBs looks. I rather send curl or Collins too at the qb if that’s the call.

Also, chargers and Herbert had zero problems picking up our blizters. Herbert had the ball to the blitzes side like 90% of time for big gains. That’s called being prepared and out coached.

Who by the way went off today for 300 plus and 2 or 3 Tds… Dude was the best QB we’ve had since Rypien by far

Re: Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

Absolutely Cousins was the best we’ve had since Rypien! I just watched the game agian .. we could have won .. there are 5 plays that changed the game .

1- missed facemask call ( offset by horrible pass/fumble against LA)..wash
2-missed FG ( made longer by penalty)
3-Gibson fumble .. gave them TD
4-punt on 4th down ..essentially ended game.. (the 15 yd penalty against Humphries was huge)
5-D giving up 3rd &16

So a questionable coach call, bad officials, penalty,turnover, And D not making any stops late

Any ONE of those go our way and we could have won..I was mad that we lost but as bad as D played we still had a real chance ..

Re: Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

Holding the Chargers to 20 points or less is what you would have hoped to do. They did that, even with gifting LA a touchdown by coughing up the ball on the 4 yard line.

The fact is, you're not going to win many games in this league if you only score 16 points. For me, this loss falls on Turner and the offense.

Anyway, 50% of the league will be 0-1 after tomorrow. It's one game.

True, and the Giants and Dallas lost which helps. The Eagles beat the hapless Falcons who may not win a game this year. Winning today sure would have been nice though.

Re: Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

I don't know if was just me but with Fitzpatrick in there the offence looked exactly like last years. The hope was that with a better QB it would somehow be much better. But I cannot see it. I had no confidence they would get a first down, let alone score in the red zone. Things only started to get better once Heinicke started to improvise when under pressure. It is early, but after so many years of losing there is it seems always more heightened expectation and enthusiasm at the start of the season, "this year we will be relevant", so the let down when they revert to form is so much the greater.

You are largely correct, in fact after the first drive, which being the first drive of the season you could excuse, you could then plausibly argue that the defense limited a great young quarterback with very good receivers to 6 points. You could also argue that the offense being inept allowed them to dominate the time of possession battle which tired our defense
.
However, the bottom line is that when the game was on the line with only a 4 point lead we let them run out the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter without putting up a fight.

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.

Week 1 - Post-game Thread
 

As I said in the gameday thread we did not score enough points to win. Our defense also choked in pressure situations. Drives after scores, third downs. Basically both sides of the ball let us down. So did Ron by punting the ball at their 40 with six minutes left down by 4. That is awful. So did Scott Turner - every time I watch this guy call a game I ask myself if he would be in the league without his last name - resounding no.
The only thing we are clinging to right now is “it was game one, and they are a good team”. They also are playing game one and traveled across the country. What will the excuse be when we lose to the Giants? Because we are going to lose to the Giants.

One more thing….our oline is shit. I had a very bad feeling about it going in. So is our secondary. They looked like chickens with their heads cut off. Completely confused. Our coaching staff is not very good. Unfortunately it is the best we can ever hope to get here. It is not really a mystery as to why we are stuck in a perpetual cycle of poor to mediocre play.

My hopes were up (as always) because I figured if last years team could win 7 this team could win 10. However in the back of my mind I knew this year’s schedule was tougher, now throw in Fitz injury- doesn’t sound like a little injury (its the hip and he is older) Leno not looking like any sort of protection and oh boy. I also said more than once that if we lost to the Chargers we were in for a long year with 8 wins being our ceiling. I think 6-7 is more realistic.

What QB would come to the WFT. We are a qb injury factory. I don't know the stats but our starting qbs must get injured at a way higher rate than other teams.

First of all that's a terrible nickname - step your insult game up. Secondly other than the 50 yarder he did a good job - the XP was fine and his first 3 kicks were all fine. I'm not gonna pick on him for missing a 50 yarder.

With the talent we have on the d-line, there shouldn't be any reason why this team can't generate pressure on an offense.

Even if it means being creative and blitzing on occasion - the talent is there. It's up to the coordinator and/or playcaller to recognize when sending 4 isn't getting it done so they can step it up.
