The 3rd down defense alone, it almost killed me a couple years ago.

Per Rap Sheet, Fitz will be out multiple weeks

Absolutely Cousins was the best we’ve had since Rypien! I just watched the game agian .. we could have won .. there are 5 plays that changed the game .

1- missed facemask call ( offset by horrible pass/fumble against LA)..wash
2-missed FG ( made longer by penalty)
3-Gibson fumble .. gave them TD
4-punt on 4th down ..essentially ended game.. (the 15 yd penalty against Humphries was huge)
5-D giving up 3rd &16

So a questionable coach call, bad officials, penalty,turnover, And D not making any stops late

Any ONE of those go our way and we could have won..I was mad that we lost but as bad as D played we still had a real chance ..

Please stop the we could have signed Herbert over Chase crap. We had a 1st round QB on the team looking to make the expected jump year 2 with a brand new coaching staff that could maximize his potential. And oh yeah, Chase was everyone's dream pick and we were lucky we got him.
What team do you know that would have passed on Chase Young to draft 2 first round QBs in 2 straight years?

You mean the guy who has the maturity level of a 15 year old?

I personally wanted Tua. You take the QB always over a DE. Always...

Holding the Chargers to 20 points or less is what you would have hoped to do. They did that, even with gifting LA a touchdown by coughing up the ball on the 4 yard line.

The fact is, you're not going to win many games in this league if you only score 16 points. For me, this loss falls on Turner and the offense.

Anyway, 50% of the league will be 0-1 after tomorrow. It's one game.

True, and the Giants and Dallas lost which helps. The Eagles beat the hapless Falcons who may not win a game this year. Winning today sure would have been nice though.

You are largely correct, in fact after the first drive, which being the first drive of the season you could excuse, you could then plausibly argue that the defense limited a great young quarterback with very good receivers to 6 points. You could also argue that the offense being inept allowed them to dominate the time of possession battle which tired our defense
.
However, the bottom line is that when the game was on the line with only a 4 point lead we let them run out the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter without putting up a fight.

Charles Leno looks like garbage and got our starting QB killed.

Very reasonable take - couple things I disagree on. This offense is not good enough to win games when the d is not having a good day. And 14/18 on third downs - which ties the single game record for most third downs converted for an opposing team at Fedex - is a bad day for the D.

Totally agree about the offense, that's why I said this loss is on Turner and the offense.

The defense largely didn't look great, especially between the 20s, but holding that team to 20 points or less should result in a win.
