On the bright side, at least we shouldn't have to face as formidable a duo as Bosa/Ingram are for the rest of the season. Bakhtiari looked terrible and Bulaga just looked old. They completely wrecked the game in the first half for the offense.
Also, that first drive for the Chargers took up half the quarter. Only three drives in the first half, with five offensive penalties, pretty much ensured a worst case scenario type situation. I'm not too terribly concerned about the offense after that game, all things withstanding.
The defense is a completely different matter, though. If they're not going to be able to stop the run, they absolutely have to find a way to force turnovers. And Pettine has gotten increasingly stubborn with his refusal to blitz, and just let the Smiths' try to get home.
