Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. I'll see if I can hunt up the sequence on youtube or something.
While I agree there is plenty of blame to pass around...the players play with the game plan they’re handed. It was the same one for 7 weeks. The real question is ...did the Oline play that bad or did the Chargers just have the plays figured out? I’d lean towards the latter.

From a schematic standpoint our offense hadnt looked super complicated, we werent running a whole lot of counters or variations.
your LBs are "suppose" to read the Guards while looking in the backfield. If your guard pulls, you meet the guard at the point of attack to stifle the flow.
if your the DT you shoot where the guard pulled from and stay on his hip while trying to find the ball.
Combine the exact same plays over several weeks of tape, players almost exclusively the run and the only option the Oline had would be to "Just be better" then the other guys.... That works in High school and college with big talent differences.... It clearly didn't work against San Diego. They were shooting gaps because they knew where we were going based on film + they had no respect for our passing attack

Yes, we all knew this.
But watching the Patriots eat the alive has me seething again. This should have been us. I should be up in New England at this game, watching OUR defense give Brady fits.
This feels sooooooo much like how we wasted the 2006 defense on McNair's decaying body.
If only our offensive coaches had actually gameplanned for Sand Diego. Or if we had opened it up for Lamar a bit earlier (even tho I think his 4th quarter production was garbage time).
Of, if only, the coaching staff took a chance on a former SBMVP sitting on the bench (OR if only management hadn't let the coach approach lame duck status such that he played politics of next season over winning this season).
What a joke. Lets see if Chargers make a game of this but, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nah.
We must be a bigger joke, because they beat us at home!
