is this BER?

Is my problem BER? I purchased and planted these Better Boys about 12 weeks ago and almost all my tomatoes have been undersized and 80-90% I have tossed because of what I believe to be BER. Most never ripened like these but most of the ones that did had a very dark brown/black color on bottom that was hard and crusty and had a flat bottom and I assume they suffered from BER from previous pictures I have seen on this forum. However these are similar except the bottom is a light-grayish brown color and the diseased area is mushy. These are in plastic 18 gal containers and many leaves have turned brown the past 2-3 weeks. High daytime temps have been in the 85-93 *F range past few weeks except last week had 4 days when temp did not get into 80's. I water these plants about 1.5 gal during mid-day except might skip a day when temp isn't above 80. Is this BER and am I watering enough or too much?
I have about 8 - 1/4 inch holes about 1/2 to 1 inch up from bottom of container. I am not seeing any water come out of holes when I water. Think they might not be big enough?

It's difficult for a full grown plant in a container to have too much water if you water it manually.
I'm inclined to say too little. Does it wilt during the day?
The dead leaves could also be too little fertilizer. A complete fertilizer (hydroponics formulas) in containers will make your life a lot easier, it's easy to get all sorts of deficiencies otherwise.

It sure is BER. Your new growth looks better, clean up your plants and keep them evenly watered. You can tell if they need water by lifting the container before you water, and right after you water, remember what it feels like. Don't let them get to dry, and you will see that BER usually correct itself in time.
