LAC @ New Orleans Saints Game Day and Post Game Thread (Week 5)

[jamrock]

It’s a game of inches. Badgely’s kick was inches from kicking inside and being good. KA’s lateral to Ekeler against Car was inches from being a game winning TD

PLEASE, PROMOTE MIKE SMITH (6 yrs experience as DC during week 6 Bye)

[21&500]

Everybody keep saying he is from the Walsh tree of coaching with influences of Parcels, but it looks like he is a more scared version of Marty (without the leader of men attribute).

I’m going to sleep on it, but I’m pretty sure I don’t need my “month to evaluate”
even if we won tonight the same patterns remain
we need someone who can make in game adjustments
I don’t need a few close wins against shit teams to convince me otherwise

The last few years with Rivers there was no question, play for the season and go out swinging
this season I can’t help but feel different
I hate the idea of tanking or rooting for losses
but every loss gets is closer to a legit OT or OC
trying to justify it in my head
maybe in 2 years I’ll be looking back glad we only won 4 games in 2020
idk
conflicted more now that Justin is so young
maybe the losing is best for the long term
idk
really lost fan here

Improvements made:
a) NO stupid turnovers
b) Didn't hurt self w/ boneheaded penalties
c) Run game has a good backup in JJ
d) Herbert got better.
e) Brandon Facyson (give him more playing time.)
f) Momentum creating play made by offense (Unexpected short pass to Green in the 2nd half)
g) Run defense was more effective (be nice to get JJ and Drue Tranquil back.) Ingram too.

I agree with most of that...... its obvious something is not right..... our defense does well unless the other team really needs to score...... when they need a score, we give it to them rather easily.....

Lynn likes close games...... he thinks if games are close you have a chance to win....he forgets that if games are close the opponents also have a better chance to win...... and close games require perfection or near perfection to win...... as in: minimal penalties, no turnovers, no mistakes, no drops, etc.....

and I agree that its extremely tough being a chargers fan and seeing the team lose over and over again the way it does..... getting beat is one thing, but missing kicks, dropping balls, stupid penalties, stupid decisions like not downing ball in end zone.... etc..... it is brutal.....

most teams would have made that game winning kick..... hard to remember Chargers making a game-winning kick in a long time especially against a good team........

The only thing about that, that scares me is TT has shown an amazing ability to screw the pooch when it comes to offensive linemen. I would hate to tank this season and watch TT draft a huge bust with the #2 pick or something.

I’m not as big of a critic of the actual prospects he picked rather, I feel we never developed them
but yes valid, the record is not good
at the same time, there isn’t a viable alternative
TT will be the GM and we should draft offensive linemen, so an inherent risk needs to be taken
fwiw
The X factor for me is Campen, who I would hope has some input/credentials by now

true.....

[KrazyLegs]

This is Anthony Lynn football, folks.

The guy is one step removed from being a RB position coach. And the Spanos family threw him the keys to the Chargers organization.

Hang in there guys. Focus on what's hopeful.
