The consistent theme is he is over-compensating by trying to play without his hands, especially his right hand. He's not getting beat off the speed rush because he's slow. He's getting beat because he's not getting a punch in or engaging the guy in a block. It's interesting to watch how many times he tries to block a guy with only his left hand and how many times he doesn't even use his hands, but instead leads the block with his head or shoulder.
The 4 gifs GoChiefs showed pretty clearly illustrate this. And the play where he falls over, he falls because Knile Davis is darting into the gap.

I honestly think its impossible to overstate how bad he was in that game. That may have been more condensed suck into a single half than I've ever seen from a tackle; Barry Richardson and Jordan Black included.
There was a play where the TE got chipped inside, turned around and pushed backwards into Fisher (who had disengaged from his block) and Fisher fell down. He ****ing fell down when a player got pushed into him.
And anyone with anything remotely resembling a speed rush blew by him.
When I watched that game in real time I was extremely concerned with Smith's passing. And really, I remained concerned when I watched it again (he had 2 very bad plays where he just refused to get rid of the ball). But man, 1/2 those drop backs he had absolutely no chance because Fisher was able to do nothing.
I was floored by how ineffective Fisher was.
EDIT: I see Clay Gif'd him up. Yeah, I forgot to mention the other play where he fell flat on his ass.
He was incredibly bad.
