Good:
Run game - 126 run yards, 27 carries, 4.7 ypr. Interior run game looked pretty good. Seems like they got good initial push, made some holes, held the blocks and Gibson looked assertive.
Red Zone D - held Chargers to 2/6
Run D - held them to 90 yards, 26 carries for 3.1 ypr
Gibson - I thought he stepped his game up. Made guys miss, run through some arm tackles, able to go north south maximizing his yards. Smart runner. The fumble was killer and perhaps the biggest MO changer of the game.
Deandre Carter - 3 KO returns for 65 yards, 2 punt returns for 22. He will help in field position battle.
Bobby McCain - looked like a legit player, flashed, nice find by the FO. This guy can contribute.
Terry/Logan - Terry caught all 4 of his targets, Thomas caught all 3 of his targets
Tress Way - solid, 2 inside the 20
Cheeseman - didnt hear his name called = good job rookie
Bad:
7 of Chargers 9 possession got into the RZ - heard this on radio
334 passing yards allowed - Del Rio got outcoached, especially in the first half and the chargers last possession of 15 plays, 72 yards to run the last 6:43 mins of clock time.
------------------
My biggest problem is that the Chargers did what all the teams did to us in the second half of last year. They would move guys around in motion, isolate a good matchup and then just exploit our LBs or our corners play soft.
5:29 left in a 20-16 game, we had them on a 3rd and 16 at their own 12 yard line. Inexplicably Del Rio goes 4 down lineman, 3 LBS ... you put fucking Jon fucking Bostic to drop back into soft zone coverage against Keenan fucking Allen?
you dumb fuck Del Rio .. the chargers OC was getting matchups and targeting your LBs in coverage all fucking day .. with the game on line with your opponent at 3rd and fucking 16 at their own fucking 11 yard line ...
you put the fucking game in Jon Bostics hands to trust him to cover an acre of open fucking field against Keenan Allen and Justin Herbert.

go to the 3:30 mark for the 3rd and 16
Dont we have a ton of hybrid safeties for THIS VERY FUCKING MOMENT?
Should have had collins, curl, maccain, everett, fuller, jackson, st juste plus the front 4 ... instead you put Holcomb and Jon fucking Bostic out there?
Fuck you Del Rio.
