Cards v Chargers Post Game

[Jetstream Green]

They have a new coach and a retread QB...they have bottomed out and started the rebuild this year. They have been fairly competitive, all things considered.

Nah, they are very much like the Cardinals. Hold them on third down in the waning moments of the game, no problem, run into the kicker and give the other team a first

there was clearly an option in the play design to hand the ball off then

Watch the video?

And again Maxx falls down coming off the LOS, he's supposed to chip the end but he didn't so the end took away the easy handoff to Conner, which Kyler read correctly. Now the safety reads the play on Trey so that's not there. Hollywood is blocking he's not running a route.

But the wide open play there is as the guy said, in the middle of the field, Maxx can run forever, but he fell down coming off the LOS and then when he got up Kyler had already gotten off that completely and was about to throw the ball to D Hop. If Maxx gets off the LOS cleanly he's wide open there but he fell down.

Kyler's assessment of being "schematically kind of F'd" seems pretty accurate

If you go back and watch the play, the edge rusher to Murray's right is in the backfield on the snap and would have destroyed Conner. Conner barely even got a chip on him then released at the LOS, with Murray looking to McBride on the left. If he comes back to Conner for the pass, that defender is there for the sack or hit on Murray. Kyler is right that it was a bad scheme from jump.

yes, did you? did you see the option to hand off to Conner? there was an option to run. if kyler hands it off it's still not a 1st down.

Only for it get blown by Kyle Van Noy.

Did you not actually watch the video?

Kliff: “ I think our best football is in front of us.”
WHAT??? It can’t get much worse.

 

[SoonerLou]

Steve Keim will act like none of this is his fault.

he's already boozed up somewhere, he cares the least of anyone involved.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

It actually could be worse.

Yes coached by Sean Payton.

Amazing that there were pages of people blaming this play on Kyler.

The play was designed to go 2 places, Conner or McBride, and the defense took away both of them. Kliff is running amateur stuff on 4th and inches instead of punting or pounding the ball.

play never should’ve happened in the 1st place. Should have punted or at least run the ball considering how we were gashing them. I don’t blame K1 for that at all.

I still can't believe Kliff went for it on 4th down at his own 35 in the 2nd quarter with a lead. That is just some world class buffoonary.

 

[Buckybird]

How do we not run on 4th and inches with Connor getting 5 yards a carry. Why does Kliff always scheme long passes on very short yards. Makes no sense and you would think he would learn. We need to throw the vault at Sean Payton

No no no no no! You punt the damn ball!!! You’re on your OWN 35 yard line with the lead & 7 mins left in the half. No excuses. I’m sooo sick & tired of these analytical fools chasing fools gold each & every game, especially out idiot coach. What analytics does not measure into the equation is the consequences of when you fail. It cost us 7 points & probably momentum.

Just reason number 78 to fire Klownsbury!!! Punt the damn ball. Klownsbury put Kyler, & his whole team in a bad situation because he’s sooo brilliant. Ugh

He’s coaching scared now and not making logical decisions. He’s so afraid of losing that he doesn’t even recognize when we actually have the momentum and control of the game.

He’s a total liability to this team. I will be really disappointed if he’s not let go tonight or tomorrow. VJ can be interim coach until the end of the season.

Nope he’s been doing the same questionable 4th down gambles since he’s been here!!! It’s sickening

 

[PJ1]

We had chances at the end and went three and out twice. Did a lot of good things. In the end a gut punch loss.

 

[Arz101]

Guys, this board is near unanimous Kliff is not a good coach. Almost as unanimous about removing Keim too. Only question is what to do with Bidwill who looks clueless since Bruce Arians left the franchise? Why doesn't Bidwill have a VP of football operations instead of bum chilliups Keim?

I didn’t say not to punt. I’m saying if you are going to go for it. Run

 

[Buckybird]

I’m saying if you are going to go for it. Run

Given the score, situation & how both teams had been playing until that point that shouldn’t be an option to a sane NFL coach.

Imo this was one of Klownsbury’s biggest gaffes as a HC to date & that’s saying something

 

[sdscard4]

You punt the damn ball 10 out of 10 times. I lost my damn mind when he went for it. I will never defend that POS coach again

Sadly, I’m concerned that, because of the looking-worse-everyday extension KK was gifted this past offseason, ownership will look at this as a learning experience. As in “It’s only his 4th season, he has another 4 to get this right.” I know, completely insane, but in what sane moves has this franchise engaged of late (or mostly ever)?

Other observations:
1) McBride sucks. Can’t catch the ball.
2) How did Hebert not have anybody within 30 yards of him on that long run?
3) Clement came in and made a nice play then never saw him again.
4) On our fumble recovery reversal. The person that come out of the pile with ball always gets rewarded with the recovery. No whistle blew.
5) Price and his low snaps impact plays. Makes it tough on KM. The guy is a *******.

I really hope this isn’t true…..
