Typical Jeff Fisher Style Loss

I didn't see the typical Jeff Fisher sit on a lead really in this game too much, our big problem was our horrible defense gameplan. We noticed that Rivers threw 15 passes in the first half all short within 10 yards and we did nothing to counteract that. I don't even remember seeing more than 1 play where Phillip threw more than 15 yards besides the long Gates TD. Probably why we didn't force any turnovers because every pass was 5 yards to an open guy who could then get 3-4 more yards after the catch.

 

How did we sit on the lead exactly???? We threw it a ton in the second half. Jeff Fisher diddnt make Young overthrow CJ on the 2pt attempt, or Griffin hold Gates on the pick six or CJ drop the easy first down at the end. Watch the game before you make the typical, stupid "it's fisher's fault" posts.

 

Cecil's over aggressive D couldn't stop the screens all day and did nothing to adjust to them. If we don't get to the QB in his system, we are in trouble.

 

Yep, Jeff Fisher's 36 passes vs 15 runs is just typical Fisher. It wouldn't be the 50% completion % or the defense couldn't stop anyone in the 2nd half would it?

 

This is the most frustrating game i have seen in a long time. Honestly, this game has nothing to do with Fisher. It's all on the Defense. We played against nobody today and we couldn't stop them for nothing.

 

Reality check bro. Get one. It's the NFL, Teams lose. You didn't lose anything.
There's 8 more games.

 

No it wasn't a typical jeff fisher loss and there was no "keep it close" strategy" that is stupid. Either you did not watch the game or you don't know what you are watching.

We had 36 passes to 17 running plays. We threw deep many times. We only kicked one field goal all game.

Our defense sucked and that is why we lost. we can't run the ball worth a damn and the only time CJ gets a good run is when he bebops all over the field.

Bad defense and no blocking on running plays is not a strategy.

Bad enough to lose a tough game but we have to read a bunch of hater posts who can't tell one game from the other. Our offense is wide open and we still get the "too predictable" complaint.

 

This could be one of the dumbest threads of all time. We lost because the defense couldn't get off the field and we couldn't run the ball. How can anyone say this was a Jeff Fisher like coached game? The offense opened up the passing game but simply didn't have many opportunities in the 2nd half because our defense couldn't get off the field.

The only beef I have with the coaching was we didn't make adjustments on defense. They had one play maker who could catch the ball and we totally failed to slow the guy down. About the only time Gates wasn't a factor was when he wasn't on the field. With all their injuries at WR Gates was all they had. Also, Griff has to play Gates like a CB playing a WR and back pedal and break on the ball. I have no idea what he was trying to do by going for every fake Gates made. Gates made him look like a grade school kid. Then we let the guy get behind the defense with Spoon covering Gates. What were they thinking?

 

even tho we lost, i like what i saw in this game. jeff is finally getting the young talent involved and taking deep shots. Britt and DWill are going to be like boldin and fitzgerald in their prime. VYs deep ball is on point. We fizzled out in the second half and the VY injury just sealed the deal. plus SD is a great team.
