I was actually ok with moving on from Moses. It's always good to get younger on the O-line. Maybe Cosmi didn't have a great day, but I'm not so sure that a 31 year old Moses would have handled Bosa any better. How many holding / false start penalties would we have had? We'll never know, we can only speculate. I will agree though, that the O-line has to do better as a unit moving forward. The entire offense does.

It's funny to me because they absolutely did address the O-line in the offseason. It's deeper than it's been in a while. But there's always that one move that fans want to point out to make the case that the coaches don't know what they are doing, or to discount the fact that they actually did try to improve the team.

Maybe we should give Cosmi more than one NFL game against a premier NFL pass rusher, before we decide that he isn't the answer, or that releasing Moses was dumb.

I feel the same way about the secondary and St-Juste. Moreland was nice here, particularly in run support, but the secondary is now more talented overall and deeper than it has been in a while.

Terry McLaurin- ‘If you want to be a top guy you got to go out there and make plays. Doesnt matter if it’s the 4th string QB.’

That guy is such a fucking winner. He needs to play at least 10 years here, don't care how much it costs.

Agree ^

Might as well put the Watson talk to rest, we've never been mentioned as one of the teams he wants to go to. So that's another wrench in the works.

This is a Washington, D.C.-based tweet.

The local DC-area TV rating for WFT-Chargers was a 15.4 on CBS yesterday. That's down 7% from WFT's opener last year (16.5).

Radio said it was the lowest attendance for an opener in 50 years.

Nowadays though flat tv ratings = increased tv ratings. So many other ways to watch that dont get included in the Neilsen ratings. If you arent going down, youre going up!

Sports biz guy also more urban yuppy areas will have lower traditional tv ratings bc that crowd tends to watch games ways other than tv vs like GB and more older rural areas.

After last week I have zero confidence in this coaching staff,we might win this game,but it will be by the hair of our balls in all likelihood,this team isnt going anywhere.What a over hyped defense and Chase was a big part of it,did he even have his name called? Predicted score 20-17 could go either way.Another prediction,Barkley has his biggest game in 2 years

Ron R played for the 85 Bears and his DC plays a soft zone defense when the game is on the line. Del Rio is no better than Joe Barry or Greg Manusky.

Lol.. Del Rio was the reason why we won NFC East last year - we cannot say the same thing for Joe Barry and Greg Manusky.

Chief X_Phackter · 09-15-2021, 08:37 AM

Yeah, that's a pretty ridiculous statement. Del Rio is a much better D coordinator than we've had here in more than a minute.

You know, sometimes a unit just collectively doesn't have a good day; and it's not all that uncommon for it to happen in week 1.

I totally get the frustration though, because if this defense isn't great, the team has no chance until the offense shows it can muster more than 20 points.

good points ... but Del Rio has to show he can figure out how to adjust to our LBs being targeted in coverage and getting QB pressure. I think the problems go hand in hand. Teams are able to neutralize our pass rush bc they can get easy looks/reads by targeting our LBs in coverage.

I really really thought hed sub Collins and Curl in for a LB on passing plays. On 3rd and 16, we dont need Bostic AND Holcomb on the field.

Im so heated at Del Rio but I hold out hope he and RR can figure the 3rd and long.

We don't know what the dynamic behind the scenes is either, JDR may have been begging for more LB help, but RR and the front office just said do what you can with what we have right now. There is no way they couldn't have upgraded from J.Bostic and the bunch of JAGs they have behind him if they really wanted to. This is after all only year 2 of the rebuild, win now is not necessarily a priority.

And I would say Davis wasn't anywhere to be seen on those downs either.
