dont know how the oline did so well against a supposed superior d front of WFT but had a lot more pressure from a cowgirl's D that was missing a couple of their Dline starters. storm was a revolving door that shoulda had some chip help from RBs or TEs.

Telesco and failure to get a decent backup for BulagaTom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:
- 69-74 record
- 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
- Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
- 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
- 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
- Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
- Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

Apart from Norton, the O line wasn’t awful today. About an average day.Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

DL kept trying to jump around blocks and not play their assignments. Pursuit by the ILB and DB could have been better too.
Some of the Cowboys big plays we simply overran the Cowboys players and then they could cut off the out of position guy and make a big play.

This game struck me that it was a little bit like they fell back into some of the bad habits from the McCoy/Lynn era's. Somewhat sloppy ... a lot of guys not playing with situational awareness ...
the 2 DB who were doubling Zeke on the 1st 3rd down of the final drive, got caught inside and let him beat them to the corner on the swing pass...
It's not any one play, or even a couple of plays. There were a lot of plays left on the field. Penalties ... mental mistakes ... bad technique ... it just wasn't pretty.
The one encouraging thing is that I thought Herbert was way off his game vs Washington and he was still way more than good enough to win the game.

Two big things caused the loss.
2 interceptions by Herbert
12 penalties for 99 penalty yards.
Either one of those don't happen, and the Chargers win easy.
If you had been told on Saturday, that the Chargers would hold the Cowboys to 20 points, you would have been happy.
But Charger offense could not over come 2 interceptions and massive penalties.
P.S.
Don't blame the refs, the Chargers were sloppy and made penalties when it hurt them a LOT.

The first Pick KA did not cut short enough..... and the 2nd pick, KA fell down...... Staley confirmed that during his presser......

Listening to Staley, he was a little/moderately upset with:
-Running some DL slants, and one or more of the DL slanted the wrong way, so the LB(s)/S were caught out of position. That speaks to the point I was making
- the secondary players missed the read when the Cowboys WR's were cracking (blocking down) on the secondary force player, and the secondary was supposed to trade off, and didn't. That speaks to the point that Jubei made in response to my point on the lack of positive gap control.
-Tackling could have been better - a lot of people mentioned that.
