Gase must've had a real brain fart today because some of the play calling was making people really scratch their head. I hope Adam isn't morphing into Joe Philbin Junior.

Too much force-feeding of Landry, I don't like it. Landry was targeted 15 times as a WR. Handled the ball two times as a rusher (one of which ended in a throwaway pass). 17 touches for 71 yards. About 4.18 yards per play.
By comparison, Ajayi had 30 touches (28 rushes and 2 targets) for 126 total yards for a 4.2 yards per play average.
Landry gets the ball too close to or behind the line of scrimmage. Just too low of an opportunity for a big play. I just think these touches could be more productive somewhere else.
Landry gets the ball so much because he's open so much and he's one of two receivers we have that can make people miss once he gets the ball in his hands. Not sure what there is not to like about having a go to guy that you can count on to get you key first downs and make plays once he gets the ball. He would have had a TD too if not for a off target pass. I love it.
I wish we could scrap the WR screen from our playbook. We haven't run it effectively in at least a decade. It nearly cost us the last field goal by Parkeythe landry screen pass is essentially just a wasted down 90-95% of the time. If gase is dead-set on running the wr screen throw it to someone else like grant or stills, landry is probably the best blocking receiver we have. Id prefer we dont even do the play, maybe throw it in once a game but if we must try it to someone else, please.
lets not forget about the absolute crap call of Pass Interference in the endzone on Jones, that ball was uncatchable!! Set up Chargers with 1st and Goal from the 1!!!It wasn't close. Just another typically bad call by NFL officials.
