Fisher creates the conditions for the meltdown.
When
the players are not prepared properly in preseason
the playcalling so predictable
the defense gets easy reads because of the predictability
The team isn't prepared for having to do anything outside the box
Nobody thinks on their feet during the game especially at the left tackle spot
the fundamentals are lacking
The field gets crowded
the running game gets stuffed
there are 3rd and longs
the WRs are not prepared to make route adjustments
and there is a bunch of wounded 3rd down throws with no purpose
Hence, the quarterback performs below his capability and whether you call it a meltdown or just poor ill prepared play is just semantics.
