Because as soon as it was 3rd and 10, the offense didn't seem to have a plan. That play never had a chance to do anything and sho 'nuff, it didn't.
They just cannot handle 3rd and long. Now if you're running it at a consistent 4 yards/clip, you're fine. But we weren't. I mean even that mediocre YPC figure from last night came after Pacheco had 3 pretty solid carries on the last drive. Before that, they were struuuuuuuugling.
And unlike the Chargers, who could seeming dial up an easy pitch and catch over the middle on 2nd and 9 to get to 3rd and 1, if our 1st down play didn't work, it seemed our 2nd down play wouldn't either.
I mean, it's just not a very good offensive team right now. There are a LOT of things that simply aren't working.

Theres a reason teams don't win 3 Super Bowls in a row and winning 2 isn't exactly easy. Between father time catching up with Kelce and a team on a torrid playoff win pace is beat up from the last 5 years. Eventually something had to give. Maybe they can figure out enough to will this team to 3, but I think many of the cracks/issues aren't simply going away.
