Quote:Honestly, a couple offensive calls here or there, and the game could have been in our grasp.  Yes, you're right, the Chargers are a better team in certain respects, primarily on offense...  But this game wasn't out of our grasp...  

 

 

Our D is pretty bad, but we held up on occassion...  What kills me is that there are sequences on offense where I'm wondering what the OC is even watching...  And there are times where I think we play a Base D that is comfortable allowing the QB to hang out and pick where to exploit our secondary.

 

I just don't think the coaches even understand the concept of what it means to put your players in the best position to utilize their strengths...  Besides the Raiders, it seems that every other franchise has pretty much figured that out...

This is understandable. I felt the same way on the fourth and 1 run that Gerhart failed to get. Like why did we call that? But on the other had is it out of the realm to believe he would struggle to pick up one yard. 

 

Is that a bad play or poor execution? We also have to realize that another team was out there and they have guys who are just better than ours. To me I think we were fine play calling wise. We just got out manned today. How many times did we see guys covering Rivers and no one even bothered to jump or stick a hand out to grab the guy? They was one blitz I just knew we got him and he just ran out of the way lol. 

 

It frustrating but I do think it's a combination of youth and talent.
