Between the lack of pressure when they did blitz and Rivers picking them apart in coverage, it was just a sad effort all the way around. They made the old man look like he was in his prime.
Blitzing doesn't work against a QB like Rivers he wants to get the ball out quickly and to the open man.
Also when have three man rushes ever worked in the NFL? It seemed like we were either all out blitzing or 3 man rushes. It seemed like they went from one extreme to the other.
