The Chargers beat the Falcons on Sunday, haunting the demons with a 45-0 loss to the Patriots last week. But Los Angeles continues to mismanage sports conditions.
Sunday’s game is more reminiscent of the loss to the buffalo on November 29 than the mistakes of last week’s embarrassing special teams. At the end of the second quarter on Sunday, the Chargers had no time and 22 seconds for Atlanta’s eighth-yard third and 1st game.
The obvious choice – in fact, the only choice – is to get through that situation. If you run and cross the sticks, you can not spike to stop the clock, and there is not enough time to set up and kick the field goal team.
Of course, the Chargers ran Callen Pallege to the middle, and he was stopped without any gain. Despite a heroic effort by the Los Angeles Field Goal Unit, there was no way for enough players to get on and off the field to get that kick in time.
On television, head coach Anthony Lynn appeared A throwing movement To his attack coordinator Shane Steach, Lynn said, “Why didn’t you call the boss?”
After the game, Lynn knew that the game would cost his team three points.
“You can’t run the ball in that situation,” Lynn said through the Southern California news team’s Gilbert Manzano. “You can’t. We try to be aggressive, but in that situation you can’t run the ball, right there, as a coaching staff, it’s part of what we need to improve communication-wise, we do. But you can’t run the ball there. ”
It’s one thing if it’s an isolated incident, but Lynn and her team have been harassing these situations throughout the year. Although Lynn is said to be retaining his job at the end of the season, he still does not have many chances to show that progress is coming.
