We need to start playing like a team that knows it’s bad

[ThePeopleShow13]

I don’t start a lot of threads around here, but today’s game was really frustrating to watch. I have said for weeks now that our coaches play call not to lose. Which is great except for the fact that we are 1-5 and have literally nothing to lose by playing more aggressive.

Tua throws 1 INT, that was a terrible decision, and our coaches go straight back to hyper conservative calls. Watch the Chargers play. Watch the Bengals play. Watch any team with a young QB that is playing winning football. When their QB makes a mistake they don’t panic and let him keep playing the game. The reality is that they need said QB to win, so they don’t handcuff him if and when he makes a mistake.

To hand the ball off to Brown, from shotgun, on 4th and 1 with the game on the line is the most mind boggling dumb decision. Put the ball in your QBs hand and let him win or lose you the game. Playing not to lose or to force OT almost always results in the opposite outcome.

You didn't watch the Chargers play today, did you?

…that is quite aware that it’s bad.

Just my opinion, shared by at least 53 other guys…

The Chargers are 4-2 and on top of the AFC West. They lost on the road to great football team that is 5-1 and on top of the AFC North. This post has nothing to do with the outcome of one game today; mind you the Bengals won which is the other team I brought up by name. My point was that teams with a young QB need to put the ball in his hands and rely on him to win. It might not always work out. It’s better than playing not to lose each week.

Referring to the coaches calling the game, not the players. Coaches keep calling plays like we have something to lose.

Tua threw the interception and after that we came out throwing for another scoring drive. Us not throwing the ball at the end of the game wasn't some type of ultra-conservative mindset, it was a team that just brutally outsmarted itself because the coaching staff is completely lost. Coaches don't just become ultra conservative the more lost they get, they just up conservative and aggressive at the wrong time and in the wrong ways.

Just got to evaluate and execute better.

Then I don’t know why you started this thread. You’re rehashing everything that is being said in 50 other threads running right now
Anyway, we are playing like a bad team
