Levy out for the opener and possibly longer...

I don't think Caldwell wants Matt to throw into coverage like that. But years past he was and CJ caught a ton of balls. It's a combination of several things.. QB, HC, OC.

Finally, someone with common sense and it comes from the most unlikely source. You're learning, Mitch ;)
 
Calvin was WELL covered in Week 1. Flowers held him to 20 some yards in 2011. Went unnoticed due to 2 TDS and a the Lions dropping 40 on KC.

Flowers and Weddle is Calvin kryptonite. And Verrett did a great job on Tate. He is a baller and handle Tate one on one.

Tate will destroy Newman and Calvin can handle Rhodes/Smith
 
All this talk of Stafford not finding Calvin when the real issue is not running the ball when it was clearly working. I don't care if you have Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, and Megatron. If you're playing in 100 degree weather and the running game is working....YOU RUN THE FUCKING BALL. Their defense will be fucking decimated by the 4th quarter.

Bingo, brother!!!
 
Chargers controlled the clock. Bell wasn't doing well. Short drives lead to less rushing and passing attempts.

Stafford only 30 attempts. He averages way more than that. It's not like we passed 40 times.
 
you guys are so generic in your blame

QB, play calling, lack of mid-game "adjustments"

Nobody here even knows what to adjust or knows the play calls or the checks based on the defensive looks.

Agree but not the reason we lost. Just one of many reasons.. Maybe what started it.

So what should we say thy master of crap?

Say Tulloch coverage, Mathis coverage, Levy out and Oline protection issues (maybe due to Warford and Waddle out) Good coverage on Calvin/Tate by good DBs.

Come on Slick, you missed a big one in that Ebron dropped that 3rd down pass when the D was gassed and the O really needed to sustain a drive. It was only one play, but it was a crucial moment. I'm not hating on Ebron here, I'd say the same if CJ had dropped it. Gotta make that play to help the team.
