Quote:Now we're 2nd and 16 on the San Diego 44 with 9 seconds left and no timeouts. THIS is the time to take a shot down the field. Old gun slinger Bortles. If you're going to chuck it up into triple coverage and hope that ARob comes down with it you might as well do it now.

We line three guys up outside ready for the long one. San Diego is in prevent, they know what's coming...



 

Nah, let's fool the Chargers and throw a screen pass 22 yards behind the 1st down marker with time expiring. That'll show them Chargers for playing prevent.

I can't bring myself to rewatch the second half but this half sums the offense up nicely. The D wasn't all that bad considering we turned the ball over for fun constantly giving the Chargers good field position. The offense stank, Bortles looked awful, Yeldon barely had a chance, we didn't bother throwing it Robinson, we used to the wrong players and plays in key situations and left points on the board.

Thanks for the analysis. This last play call to end the half was a real head scratcher. I by no means have a gifted football mind, but I am assuming the thought was to get Yeldon enough yards and out of bounds in field goal range. If that's the case, I would say that's not a bad idea, except for the fact our screen play has only worked once this season. Your write-up is clearly showing how our coaches are putting players in situations where they can't possibly succeed.
