Saw recently that the chargers offence is top ten in just about all offensive metrics. The only way Lombardi goes is if he gets a head coaching gig...

Well, it looks like Lombardi finally got the memo. The deep passing game succeeded at a high rate and helped the offense be much more explosive. Guyton clearly established himself as the #3 WR today. He was wide open all over the place and proved to be better on a tougher deep pass than Palmer was.
We could have been using Guyton to make plays like he did today all season long.
And we called an actual RB screen that worked well. If we continue with the deep passing game, the RB screen is going to be there for us a lot.
Honestly, our results could have easily been even better in the deep passing game had Parham and Palmer not both blown plays they should have made.

If we need a backup guard again this season it needs to be someone besides Kelemete, IMO.

Feiler was out last week. Herbert has no time to go deep with Kelemete in there along with the Swiss cheese on the right side.

Who has it better than us?

This week represented a clear shift in focus and Herbert once again proved that he is strong is the deep passing game as is Guyton.
Today's game plan was by far the best one Lombardi has used this season.
The frustrating part to me is that we could have been doing what we did today all season long.

One play we should scrap is the WR screen.
Offense scored 34 points today which will up the average.

This link is a good breakdown of what opponents have been doing to slow down Herbert and force him to throw underneath.
And we also know that if the protection doesn't hold up, then there's no time to make thee deeper throw.
And then of course the opponent is playing a coverage designed to take away the deep pass.
The OC poor play calling argument is vastly overstated and also undermined by a cherry picked stats about air yards in an offensive system that looks at the short horizontal passing game as an extension of the run game. So within a system that uses short passes as part of run game, those plays being included in the stat will obviously lower the overall air yards, making the air yards stat insignificant at best and irrelevant at worst.
Cover 2 is a two-deep, five-under zone defense run out of both base and sub-package personnel (dime, nickel).
By rushing four, and dropping seven into coverage (with eyes on the quarterback), the defense can take away vertical concepts while forcing the ball underneath to the flat or check-down option.
Chargers blocked it well enough on a few plays to get some of those deep shot off vs Bengals. Some of those exact same play calls last week didn't work as the protection broke down.
Who has it better than us?

I'm surprised that no one is talking about Justin Jackson. When healthy he's definitely a good running back and we need someone like that more consistently. Made a huge difference in our running game today.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....
