Nightmare Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 1 minute ago, TheRealMcCoy said: Why did they move on from Musgrave and who is their coordinator now? Todd Downing, who was the QB coach last year. Seems like we let Musgrave walk in order to stop Downing taking the OC job somewhere else. He was a young, up-coming offensive mind and Carr really likes him. Looking like a really bad move right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Also, if Alex Smith could throw the ball accurately that would have also helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had plenty of time. It's not like they were throwing hail marys. They had a minute and 12 seconds left at the Steeler 40 with a timeout left. I really don't think the amount of the deficit had an impact on play calling in that situation. Our first down pass there was like a 10 yard pass to Kelce that was deflected.

Jakuvious Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 1 minute ago, TheRealMcCoy said: True, but Alex wouldn't have had to make those more difficult passes downfield if you didn't need a TD. Maybe he gets in FG range if he takes more of the shorter passes? He threw a short pass to Kelce on 1st and 10. They weren't throwing bombs.

He was flawed himself and his contract was expiring. They could have done a lot better than musgrave....but Downing aint looking too good... And Del Rio's suppose to be a defensive guy....yet, every defense hes had since he got to the raiders has been terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than our run defense, our offensive line, or our run offense. Pass coverage was okay except for the Gaines/Sorensen blunder. Pass rush was bad though. But sure. Ignore the miraculous plays Smith pulled to get us close and just focus on the two misses under pressure down field to a WR Smith has no game time throwing to.

showtime Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I believe the Kansas City Chiefs had six yards of offense in the entire first half. The team scored three points. In the 3rd quarter, on 4th and 2, you decide to go for it. Kicking a FG there puts you down by one possession. Going for it and missing keeps you down by two possession. Bad decision, bad coaching.

Doesn't look like Downing has any play calling history either. Maybe there was more going on between Musgrave and Del Rio. 5 minutes ago, riceman80 said: Cuz Downing, our current OC, was gonna get hired away. And we should've let him go. He's terrible. Are you for sure he was gonna get hired away? If they really think he has great potential, then I kinda get it, but it seems messed up to Musgrave.

You said it yourself, though. They hadn't beaten you guys in 3 years. And the Chargers themselves are a really weak team. So... I mean, this really isn't much different from 3 years ago when you guys notched that first win against the Chargers in a long time (I know, I was a Chargers fan then and witnessed it firsthand). But let's not dwell on lesser California teams. Let's talk about those division-leading, roadwarrior Los Angeles Rams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see major regression in our offense. Poor playcalling and gameflow, lack of adjustments, a power o-line playing zbs concepts. It just looks like a mess with him at the helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
