Game 1: Lions @ Chargers Thread

[Cliff]

Is the silver lining that we won't have to worry about another team poaching Austin for Head Coach come seasons end?

If pass blocking didn't completely fall apart in the second half I think we would have been successful enough on offense. Of course the defense game up drove after drive which led to basically no plays for the offense by the end of the game.

Defense couldn't get off the field. Created 3 turnovers and still gave up 480 yards.

Total plays: SD - 74, Lions 47
Time of Possession: SD - 38:12, Lions 21:48

Damn.

It didn't really break down, pass blocking was solid all game. That was the best part of our team, well that and AA. They gave the QB time, he was hardly touched most the game.

Biggest problem with the defense, besides forgetting Keenen Allen was an eligible WR, was they had no middle presence against the run. If they wanted to run up the middle they just moved the DTs out of the way and made a hole.

No fire on Defense. Reactionary not attacking. Rudderless from the coach down. This is where we miss Suh. Like him or hate him he brought the heat every play and that effort is contagious.

I hope getting Levy back will help.

If levy is on the field Allen still catches 15 balls.

Right, I know. I just meant in the contagious hustle that was mentioned. There is definitly a lot to work on.

That's incredible how we can't prevent 15 catches.. Damn.

Ouch. I had a feeling Rivers would rip us in the middle but he whooped us all over.

Missing Gates and having two o-linemen get hurt...it's not possible to put up those numbers. Impossible. No human can overcome injuries like that. Fake stats

no....Rivers has always been good. He just got to play the Lions today!

Rivers is now 10-1 without Gates in the line up.
