Cover 2 zone.. with 2 deep safeties. Corner stay short, and release receiver into the back coverage where the safety should be. They drop it right in between. QB throws after three step drop

It’s still not Cover 2. It’s Cover 4. You need to watch the boundary corner if you want to diagnose what we’re doing.

Sometimes you just have to give the other guys credit and tip your hat. Their receivers and tight ends are far superior to our corners/safeties. They're getting behind the defense by 10 yards in some instances and the QB is putting the ball where it needs to be.

Not a whole lot of fun to watch, but it is what it is.

Maybe I should moved out there to "Silicone Valley". (Isn't that the San Fernando Valley, actually?)

Now that is a case of Brandon actually failing to get off (Or staring down, if you prefer) his read. There’s no throw there.

How much is our HC getting to not know the play clock? And don’t tell me it’s Peters or someone else’s responsibility. The buck stops with Lovie.

Are we trying to get blown out? Why run that terrible play on third down if you’re planning on going for it? Lovie looked like he had no clue there

Reggie running between the tackles isn’t working. Rod Smith - try something else.

Nothing wrong with that play, thought it was a great call actually. It just wasn’t there.

Again, their OC is smarter than on DC. They can’t run on us, so they just throw it up for grabs knowing 1 of 2 things will happen. They will catch it or we will commit a penalty. And the. Throw a TD to the tight end.. again.

They can't run on us? Their back is over 100 with a 7.8 yard average with a quarter and a half to go.

Now, your point about them throwing it up for grabs and then coming down with it....think about what you're saying. It's not about smarts, it's about talent. There's a wide gap.
