what is done is done, there will be another good QB, Chargers drafted Bosa that year and then got their QB later both played a big role yesterday in their win.

It was hard to pass on Chase.

With the talent we have on the d-line, there shouldn't be any reason why this team can't generate pressure on an offense.

Even if it means being creative and blitzing on occasion - the talent is there. It's up to the coordinator and/or playcaller to recognize when sending 4 isn't getting it done so they can step it up.

This is what I don’t understand…trying to convince me that cutting Moses is a good move because it’s a year before the wheels fall off and signing Leno clearly a year after the wheels have fallen off

Martin Mayhew and Ron need to own this logic.

My big 3 takeaways:

#1 the defense is all hype right now, totally overrated
#2 Gibson's fumble was an absolute back breaker
#3 we're going to flounder around with so so QB play again this year

Again first two weeks O has advantage; i think they held a decent power offense to 20 points (really 13 if not for the AG gift)

Agree on 2 and 3.

To be honest, going be unpopular, i rather have a losing record let young guys grow then have higher picks this coming draft as ammunition to get our new QB.

Watson be the quick fix.

My problem with yesterday is that this team looked completely unprepared to play and I blame that on Rivera. For a guy who talks so much about preparation and execution WFT didn't have either.

A rookie head coach on the other side of the field too. Ron, JDR should be embarrassed

If you're looking at giving up 20 points as some sort of victory for the D I don't know what game you were watching. LA basically did what they wanted all game long (gave up 424 yards), they controlled the clock especially in the 4th quarter (36 min TOP for LA), and we gave up 14/19 on 3rd downs including that 3rd and 16. Just a terrible all around performance. This is not an elite defense, hell it's not even decent right now.

It could have been worse point wise. Def not a victory for the defense…the 3rd downs were the back breaker.

I watched the same game as you I'm assuming. It is obvious the defensive game plan was to not give up the big play, and keep them out of the end zone. Largely it worked, with the exception of the opening drive. If Gibson doesn't fumble on the 3 yard line, who knows... I'm sorry, giving up only 20 points should have been good enough.

Here are their possessions:
Opening drive TD
Punt
Punt
FG
FG
Turnover
Turnover
TD (after WFT turnover on the 3)
End of game drive (terrible - but the D was gassed at this point)

Game 1 in the books and it's the same story as last year so far. The offense needs to get it going or it will be the same amount of wins too.

Anyway, the sky is not falling for me - but some of you might need to take cover.

yeah i went back and looked at the stats, you are right. It was a awful performance.

Stats don't tell the whole story.

Look at the Rams/Bears. Rams got two turnovers, Bears won time of possession at a 2-1 click, and had 322 yards of offense. Sound familiar? The difference is the Rams offense can move the ball down the field consistently, and they can score TDs. The WFT offense has not shown that they can do either under Turner.

Maybe that will change with Heinicke, I don't know.

Can't we just say both the defense and the offense stunk yesterday?

Hard not to.

AGREE

With that said it was still a winnable game which should spark some hope.


IDK just trying to be positive, it was typical WFT day lose and lose your QB1 for the season to start the season.

It is just hard to enjoy the NFL with such a miserable team.
