Default quick thoughts on the gay ass chargers

1) i thought reich had some good looks and bad looks. the 2nd half of understanding that we were struggling up front and we needed to pound them was beautiful.

we simply weren't winning up front until we went run heavy. wore that dline down. which is something i didnt think they could do to start out.

that said, we really could have used some playaction to back them off or just win deep. we didn't challenge the chargers deep enough. we have speed. threaten it.

2) brissett was good. hopefully going forward Reich will let him play ball more. he seemed a bit hand cuffed with all the screens and nonsense reich called. i am not worried about brissett throwing downfield.

my only real complaint is he still lacks touch. seemed to look better in the pocket though


3) can't complain about the wrs. they did what they were asked to do for the most part. gotta love ty and that td. just awesome

4) quiet day for the te's. loved that doyle stiff arm. really wish ebron could have hung on to the td

5) glowinski looked bad to start. smith got destroyed by bosa once. overall, once they settled down, they performed really well. still worry about their pass protection but 1st game was not too bad

6) we need beef up front. these dudes are too light. we get ran on. this wont stop. hunt was invisible. ward got blown off the line in the run game. autry had some good snaps but still got pushed around. just not winning the line of scrimmage up front

7) houston has some game left. dude looked real good at times. turay was abusing that backup lt. really quick off the line and showed some good hand usage at times. need to see that against quality tackles. good to see banogu get home unblocked.

8) fuck the pats

9) that hooker int gave me a boner

10) how the refs weren't calling holding is beyond me. on the allen td, the dude had turay in a bear hug. some of those long runs should have been called back.

11) welcome to the nfl willis and rock

12) vinnie was shit and lost us the game. straight up. figure it out or take him behind the barn and end it.

13) more deep passes are needed. more parris campbell.

14) cain and funchess were ok.

Question

Brissett lacks touch but you want him to throw deep more often? Wouldn't that lead to more turnovers? Sure, it would be nice to see the occasional deep ball, but I'm ok with game manager Jacoby since even with all of the crapola, the Colts were still there at the end.

That bogus hitting a defenseless player penalty that led to the Chargers first touchdown really pissed me off. The Chargers did the same thing, only WORSE on every Vinatieri fg attempt, especially the one right before halftime. On that one, 2 players sandwiched the long snapper and knocked him flat on his ass. No call.

That was bullshit.

Agreed. Especially if we can run the ball like that consistently.

I am of the mindset that you go deep at least once per quarter. Brissett has a good deep ball. We were running. playaction that shit and let it fly

Didn't Reich do something like this with Luck at the beginning of last year? It seems like it took several games before he started becoming more aggressive last year. I think some people even thought that there might be something wrong with Lucks arm. Maybe this is Reich's way. Weird to be so conservative though.

True

especially when you have deep threats like TY and Cain

Reich may have just been cautious with this being Brissetts first game as starter in this offense at least, may do that more, I hope as the season progresses

Oh and Rock....come on man, have to knocked down that BS jump ball shit that Rivers threw for the TD.

Yeah that call really sucked.

I thought it was you can't line up over the center. And the Colts didn't. They were lined up outside of him and then rushed the line, you can't avoid hitting the center completely.

Couldn't agree more on just about everything you said.

IMO Ebron deserves more criticism than "would have been nice if he had hung on to that TD pass". He should have had that and it was 1 of the 2 fuck ups from someone other than AV that cost us the game (the FG penalty was the other, but maybe that was just a BS call).

Not going deep was probably influenced by the amount of pressure LAC was able to get on us, especially early on. Although I agree it would have been nice to have taken some deep shots off of play action after we got the running game going.

Overall, pretty encouraging performance as we went to OT and should have won against a really good team on a west coast trip. Fix the fuck ups and the kicking game and we should be good to go.
