I don't want to be negative, but all well. There were a couple of things that i really thought did us in. Most can be blamed on coaching.
1) Not giving Willis the Ball
For some reason the coaching staff was unwilling to keep the ball in Willis hands. I know they were blown out, but if they would run the same game plan Holcomb had for then Losman would do just as well. All of Holcombs wins they were commited to running the ball. This game shows why its important. Even when the game was in reach coaches kept throwing the ball. Take some time off the clock keep a hot offense off the field. The Oline can't pass block for crap.
2) At the end of the half, why were they in such a hurry to score.
Giving the chargers back the ball with 55 seconds. Run the ball punch it in with 25-30 seconds left.
3) Gray stop blitzing
Its ok to play coverage once in a while. Especially with a QB that likes to make quick decisions, and thrives on a short passing game. Does every blitz have to be a outside one, all Brees had to do was step up and hit the big play.
4) Gates is the best receiver San Diego has
Why are you covering him with Milloy, Eric King, or Crowell, get number 1 corner on him with safty help.
Thats it, None of these things probally would have lead to a victory, but I am just sick of this team, not showing up on the road.
Good Bye Clements- Top cover corner my ass, How about showing up when needed, and not getting undressed by average receivers.
That is all, I will be going to bed and having nightmares about how our oline, and corners are going to do against Carolina.
