Philip Rivers threw two TD passes to pull us ahead of the Panthers in the 4th quarter. but, our defense let Delhomme thread the needle on this pass to Dante Rosario on the last play of the game.
Qualcomm stadium was going off after the last TD pass was caught by Vincent Jackson and it looked like we were going to pull off the comeback but that last play by Delhomme, pump faking the defense then squeezing that pass between two defenders was brutal. what a letdown.
even though this is only week 1 and we’ve got a long way to go this loss was very disappointing. especially, the way our offense played in the 2nd half. Gates, Jackson and Chambers all had TD catches and LT ran for 97 yards.
our defense was just giving up too many yards rushing to the right side of our line and they were also killing us with slant passes over the middle of the field.
we need to get that fixed for next week’s game against Denver at Invesco.
