Why do coaches become complete idiots against the Patriots? Run Gurley, throw to Woods, win the game.

I don't think Ford's penalty was as costly as everyone seems to think. Brady most likely knew he had a free play and took a risk. If Ford had not been lined up in the neutral zone, there is a significant chance Brady never throws that pass.

I'm curious why you say he isn't good. His only exposure was a preseason game where he made more tough catches than all of our receivers made this year combined. Obviously a good preseason game doesn't make someone a quality player, but I always thought it was ridiculous he never even got a chance in a real game considering our lack of talent at that position. Was there something about his practices that made the coaches dismiss him? Or was it just his injuries?

This is funny. "NFL officials that are really good can't be found."

Arians: "If that were one of the top quarterbacks, that would have been a penalty." Bruce telling it like it is. Late hit up high on Allen, yet again.

Well it would work if our receivers ran the route correctly. Gilmore went deep both times and Allen put it where it needed to be both times. Looked like the receivers weren't even expecting it.

We probably get called for that particular penalty more than any other team. Punting, kicking off, returning, offense, defense. I didn't see this one, but most of them are complete horse *****.

Please stay in San Diego. Talk about whiney and insufferable...

I wonder if they ever think "hmm maybe we should get a punt return to go at least five yards before we pack it in this year."

It is insane how bad our receivers are. That's the easiest catch he'll ever see and it goes right through his hands. How many tens of thousands of dollars did he just get paid to ham fist a cake toss?

I don't think so. Fumbling out of your own end zone prevents two scenarios: getting tackled for a safety anyway, or the other team recovering for a touchdown (meaning the other team would end up with at least two points regardless of the outcome). Fumbling out of your opponents' end zone prevents one scenario: you scoring a touchdown (meaning the other team saves 7 points and should count their lucky stars they get a crack at holding you at the spot of the fumble).

Should be treated like a fumble anywhere else on the field. Placed at the spot of the fumble since a fumble can't advance the ball. Currently, it's way too much of a reward to the defense for allowing the other team to get to the goal line and then getting the ball on a fluke. That would be better. Penalize the team that fumbled, but don't reward the other team.

I don't know if I'd call it really bad. He had one that was just a perfect pass and catch against Anderson on the sideline and then a TD to Anderson where he had to cover him for over ten seconds.

McDermott gets out-coached a lot. His greatest strength (and it is a big one) is that he gets maximum effort from his players. But he is continually embarrassed in game planning and in-game decisions.

Darnold had a clean pocket all game. Our defense did not show up today. Allen might have had 3 snaps with a clean pocket and a ton of drops. Our offensive line and receivers did not show up all year.

Yeesh. That was a very winnable game. Poor play all around in key moments.

Have we returned a kickoff past the 20 all year? Our ST's are so bad.

Nice throw, but it was late. Even if Zay caught it there was no way he could have stayed in bounds.

Should not be attempting a 54 yard field goal with a hurt kicker. And Zay could have given us a huge boost by not dropping a piece of cake pass.

I think our RB's are fine. The line can't open any holes and there are defenders in the backfield immediately on every run play.

How many block in the back calls do we get? And they don't call that hit on Hauschka.

That is categorically false. Like a lot of posters here, they will give credit for good plays and criticism for bad ones. You only hear the criticism because you can't fathom that Allen isn't perfect. Also, oh my god are you delusional. Tyrod was probably criticized more than any fanbase has ever criticized a quarterback. I'd wager that a fair amount of people who put 100% of the blame on Clay for that last play also put 100% of the blame on Tyrod for the last play against Carolina last year.

Do you have any evidence of Hughes quitting on plays? That's a pretty outlandish claim considering how many QB pressures he gets.
