From a holistic standpoint; Raji and other important cogs out of the defense, the offense greatly depleted, I'm not overly concerned about this game. The other team is paid, Rivers is a good QB, Allen is legit as is Gates. Does anyone think the game would have been this close had Raji been on the field?
bobble, I know you were trying to be funny but we were 3 yards away from OT on Sunday but a big play by Peppers and Randall saved the day.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
You think Gunter is better at press coverage than the guys the packers have out there? OK
Still, I think it was a strategic decision that failed. Go man up, but play off to avoid the big play, and allow for doubling of Gates or whomever. None of it really worked.
Allen getting dinged up was a stroke of luck, otherwise he catches 20 for 250.

I think 3irty1 is right, you have to rush no more than 4, 3 when its 3rd and long. Then you play 3 or 4 men in the under area in zone to knock the bejesus out of any crossing route.
But the coverage must be disguised, or they will switch the routes.

Rand, do you think any of the other corners are near as good at jamming off the line than Gunter? Because other than Gunter they're basically incapable of accomplishing a jam.
I dunno really, but I suspect so.
I think it's obvious that the coaches don't want the db's to jam/bump and run. But it looks like more than that. Like they are having them lay off to prevent the deep ball.
If they do that, SD or anyone else should just run the same pattern over and over and pick up 5-8 yards every play. If you counter by rushing 3, you can drop guys into those passing lanes maybe and get some knock downs or tips, but the danger is having all day to throw which allows for double even triple moves. An accurate QB with an arm will tear that crap apart.
