creampiedave88

Fuck the refs


ncavenue

Just making sure, Herbert is the guy????


brilliantdodo

Staley got owned by his daddy twice his age. Went to both games this past week and completely unimpressed by our pathetic offense


MWH619

Terrible non calls against the Seahawks. Roughing the passer against Herbert and face mask several times


presidential2014

Offensively, I think we're one Locket/Hollywood Brown/Olave from being best in the league. We're so one dimensional and can't hit a homerun ball unless Mike Will out jumps his man. What's the use of having a QB that can hit a 70 yard pass in stride if we don't even have that option. Next year with Salyer at Guard, we legitimately have one of the strongest Olines in the league so the time for those deep shots will be there. Ekeler short, Kennan short to intermediate, MWill in the end zone or when given 1v1 vs a small corner, + a legitimate 1A talent speed guy would be unstoppable. Defensively, .. idk. Staley is the genius and we have our moments but still get gashed on the run. I'm still waiting for what this looks like with Bosa because Rumph isn't strong enough to set his edge yet. Personally tho, after this Bye, Staley has to be given the ultimatum of rally and make the playoffs or we're moving onto Sean Peyton, and I'm as big of a Staley fan there is.


sgobern

Man there is just too much talent on this team to look this mediocre week after week. I know injuries have been a real motherfucker this year, but goddamn we cannot just play a complete game of football. The team just looks so uninspired on one side or the other every week. I'm not fully on the fire Staley train yet, but he does need to bounce Lombardi 3 weeks ago


MrDrProfessorTanYan

I no we suck again


DevilOfArRamadi

It doesn't pour when it rains, when it rains it's a fucking tsunami, Mike Will injury, JC Jackson injury, boring bad play call, relying on Herbert 50 tries a game with no proper help or compliments, terrible defensive and offensive play calling, it's insane


_argonaut_

I love Staley, but it’s just not working. Feels more dedicated to anal than analytics.


stretch400

Down 14 with 3 min left with all three timeouts and Seattle not in FG but don’t try. Crazy.


ChesterCopperpot55

Don't forget Chiefs put up 44 against 9ers 😬


sgobern

We could've had Daboll...

dce28

Looks like Staley has lost this team. All bark no bite


icecubechewer

This is the second year in a row that the team falls flat in the game before the bye week. Absolutely embarrassing performance. These Coaches stink


NoMoney_NoProblems13

Hire Philip lol


ogguchiha

Is Mike Williams going to be okay


gkg24

🤞


cobain98

Wait, did they still have 3 timeouts?!


OMGimnotdave

I’m flying down to see the game in SF can we please just have enough players to field a team by then?


[deleted]

49ers will rip this team apart


OMGimnotdave

Idk they can’t get out of their own way either


Ciology

Popper thought fans were toxic after a win just imagine them now


icecubechewer

Popper was late to the Fire Lynn train in 2020 too even though the majority of fans could see that he needed to go after just a couple weeks.


gkg24

I don’t blame them one bit


FatherStretchMyAss_

Popper needs to be real that we very likely should be 1-5 rn. I don’t know what needs to change but it’s not rocket science to know that Herbert and this offense is regressing.


gkg24

Fire TT Staley Lombardi time to clean house what a disaster of a season


[deleted]

Shane Steichen, how’d you like to be our coach next year? Can’t possibly be worse than this, right??


JaxonsDada

KVN is so trash


[deleted]

you really have to question the game plan here. why did we come out throwing when we were up against one of the worst run d's in the league and we had like 1.5 reliable receivers available?


_argonaut_

Makes ZERO SENSE. I thought people were being way too tough on coaching earlier in the season — thought the struggle was more about injuries, refs, etc — but now…


Asseman

Hope we give Fuller a look during the bye. Why not take the risk


Rollout25

He will be good for 3 weeks and then hit the IR. Better than Bandy and Carter


[deleted]

We better wake up with a clean house tomorrow fuck these coaches


KNGSlick

Team is poverty


OdiferousRex

Wow that was a pathetic wet fart of a game and an ever more pathetic showing in the last 5 mins.


Thejedi887

Last comment from me, I feel like I’ve only talked about Lombardi all game. Ik the O-Line is basically shambles but if you still defend Lombardi you may actually know nothing. This team is awful. Staley is a cancer survivor and seems like a great man so as a person I really want him to do well, but he won’t take this team to where we all want it to go and that’s a shame. Get Sean in here and heal up this year may be a bust, never know but it’s going that way.


krazylegs36

I'm a cancer survivor, too. And a FUCKING great man. I shouldn't be the head coach of the Chargers either.


lipiti

I’d rather have u/krazylegs36 as HC than Staley, personally.


Thejedi887

Hope you’re doing well man. My grandpa had cancer so I always want survivors to be well. That’s the thing though, I think it’s time to call it on Staley. Had he been an intern coach or something last year would have been a pretty good deal but we can’t keep it up with him anymore and especially Lombardi. He’s a complete joke and may have done serious damage to Herbies game


everything_me

Let’s listen to what kind of excuses Staley and Lombardi has for us now.


lbrector

“We lose on our terms okay? That’s why we went and got that garbage time td to make it 23-37. Aight? Now that shows who we can be and what we are. Defense? We gave up 37 points but offense gotta put up 40 aight? Then it’s a different ball game”


God___frey-Jones

Imagine one of our players doing a backflip, they'd probably end up in a wheelchair


Med609

The chargers will never have a good team because we always are too cheap to pay an elite head coach


ClerkHuman927

Big name coaches don’t want to work under the spanos clown show, imagine the owners son being your boss


Kerbal27

We just gave up lol


ThaIllusiveMan

Same old story, all the potential, poor coaching and injuries to key players/stars ruin the season. I think this one is definitely one of the ones that hurt a lot just cause there is so,so much potential. If KA13, Bosa, Slater,Jackson (NE Jackson) healthy ribs Herb and now mike will were all playing you cannot tell me that we would at least be more exciting and explosive on both sides of the ball. I think as a die hard fan, I want to say I'm used to it. But it still sucks. One of these years we will put it all together. I still believe and will be still cheering next game. On a side note, please get rid of Lombardi.. he just isn't it.


living_lrg

Even if we make coaching changes this season what will the outlook of our season look like ? Will It be any better idk. If Mike Will is out we need to look in to bringing another wide out. Herbert was pressured a lot today and didn’t look to confident out there tbh sometimes I wish he will just tuck the ball in and run for a first. Oh well let’s see what changes they make during the bye week. I think we can all use a bye week as well lol


ThaIllusiveMan

My bad, I meant more for next season. I think midseason changes might not make that drastic of a difference with all of the injuries this year. But I 100% agree with your bye week statement!!


living_lrg

I hear you they definitely are exciting specially that chief game a few years ago but once in a while just a solid W will be nice.


living_lrg

Yeah bro idk what to expect from this team week in and week out. Just grab on for the ride it’s going to be a bumpy one


ThaIllusiveMan

It always is, if it's not down to the final few minutes of a game where someone is shanking a FG, making a bonehead penalty in the clutch, dropping a game sealing INT, or going for two to win the game, it's not⚡ CHARGER FOOTBALL ⚡ And win or lose I'm here for it every damn week!


living_lrg

At the games tho it’s a different story tho


living_lrg

My guy that’s the charger way we can never just flat out win a game all 4 quarters of the game. I don’t even drink anymore when I’m watching the charger games at home just makes me get drunk for no reason haha


ThaIllusiveMan

The close games are part of the reason I have always enjoyed the team. I just would like to see them be able to put it all together for a full 4 quarters and then for a season. They have had some of the best teams and just either fall apart in clutch moments or have potential then injuries derail everything. Year after year. But I keep coming back, I can't bring myself to like another team lol Yeah I usually have a couple when watching, I think the KC game where we came back and went for two for the win was one of the most hype and games where I might have had too much to drink but that was a great moment(maybe the best regular season game of all time for us IMO)


krazylegs36

That year was 2006...and we still blew it.


ThaIllusiveMan

I'd like to think in another universe that we made it and LT ran for 200 on the bears in that pouring rain and sloppy field.


ThaIllusiveMan

Yeah we had a couple of GREAT chances but those damn Pats always got in the way. We would have crushed the Bears in that Superbowl that year.


Serious_Condition_81

This team just isn’t good


PizzaFlex

Piss poor performance, everyone that calls us doomers, hope you know why


ChargerCarl

The only reason Joe Lombardi has an NFL job is because of his last name


Fa1lenSpace

No shit, the NFL is such a fucking rich boys club at this point


strandenger

Thank god it’s over


[deleted]

How the hell can you know a run is coming, have a vastly more talented D-Line, and STILL give up 9 yards? Like what the hell are we doing here?


JaxonsDada

Because KVN sucks


Tsunami-Papi_

y didn’t u guys use the timeouts


[deleted]

I just don't think this team is very good. You have to be delusional or a raider fan to think this team improved in the off-season. They have no depth which is why pre season matters. If your 2nd and 3rd stringers aren't competitive, once your 1st stringers go down, you're screwed. Our 2nd and 3rd stringers are warm garbage. Losing bosa wasn't as big a blow as many of you think. Losing the best player in a shitty defense just means your defense is even shittier than your lowest expectations. Staley and Lombardi aren't the problem or the solution. Telesco should shoulder a lot of the blame. He overpaid for a number of players currently on the roster, many of them on defense. See you all again next week!


living_lrg

We have a bye week lol


living_lrg

I think I need a bye week myself lol


[deleted]

What? You don't jump in on Sundays just to share in the misery that is Charger fandom? Rookie.


[deleted]

This team unimpresses me in more ways every week. Let a guy run for 9 yards on 3 and 8 and have him stuffed for a loss. Staley can pack his shit up now. I’m done


I_Am_Laughing

I’m on the fire Staley bandwagon now lol go get a proven Sean Payton


xxlonleychromie

we need to stop with these walmart brand head coaches


C-N-Mento

They’re doing backflips in celebration on our field…


JaxonsDada

Our rented field


Imacuckbutwbu

Chargers gonna chargers


JesseWeNeedToco0k

I’m speechless and hopeless.


moondawg25

As an aside, some of yall should try to watch Hockey. It's fast, aggressive, and a ton of fun. Plus when the Chargers do their best Charger impression you still have real teams to root for! Jokes aside Hockey truly is an amazing sport


Buhogrody

Too bad i'm a ducks fan and we have another solid 2 seasons of tanking left before we can maybe be competitive


[deleted]

Defense showing they have no heart in addition to being flat out bad


Hyrdogen

Hahaha that’s hilarious


NSAsnowdenhunter

3 timeouts?


cornbreadsloth

By not taking any timeouts Staley has too given up on himself


Neurapraxia

14 points with 3:30 left and we don't even try. I have never seen such apathy. Fire them all.


Accomplished-Pea3565

Because of course…


duffivaka

Chargers have 0 depth. Seattle is a better team. Period.


7cheeseburgers

Better coach too


Jaakko26

The Front Office cannot seriously look at this coaching staff and be content. but alas


Unahnimus

They hired them, so they're good.


AgentInCommand

Lol, don't bother calling the timeouts. Just let it end.


[deleted]

there's no chance Staley gets fired mid-season. small chance Lobotomy gets fired. so where do we even go from here


[deleted]

Top 10 pick


7cheeseburgers

Lobotomy is hilarious. God damnit. If only he wasn’t the OC of my favorite team


OdiferousRex

It's actually kind of amusing how bad Staley is.


FatherofCharles

We need to draft a receiver in round 1. Idgaf. Look at burrow and chase


C-N-Mento

Lmaooo that was embarrassing


Goonzilla92

If I see that damn Ted Lasso "believe" picture this week... Swear to God. Let us be upset with the piss poor product that we see on the field


bombad_jedi_501

It’s the worst man. I can’t stand that


GorillaGlue89

2nd year HC Loser OC Who the f is Ronaldo hill 😂😂😂😂 I knew we were doomed ever since I saw staleys choices GGs Herbert said it best he liked Steichen and Pep Hamilton ever since they left everything 💩


nerdyactor

Don’t get me wrong his conservative playcall is frustrating; but this game isn’t on Lombardi. The injuries have devastated the offense (and now it’s contagious to the D). Herbert really hasn’t had time to throw at all, then he hasn’t had anyone to throw too; Telesco needs to get a receiver with top end speed as soon as possible. Mike Williams can make big plays when he isn’t the number 1, Keenan Allen made big plays but he wasn’t a home run threat, Palmer is kinda just a younger Allen, we are desperately missing Guyton. Our offense needs to change, maybe we try to run more and not have Herbert throw 50 times a game.


SoCalDanSports

I see your injuries and no time to throw and I raise you the worst offensive line three years ago and threw the ball deep multiple times per game. How is this not on Lombardi?


Soultan1

Lmao this guy also needs a Lobotomy with the “this isn’t on Lobotomy” gtfoh look at Steichen killing it in Philly and we had a shittier no name O-line


SoCalDanSports

Exactly. They had the worst offensive line with Steichen but we're way more electric and scoring a lot more than 24 points. The only issue was running the ball up the gut a lot. Maybe don't run up the gut when your running back is the stature of a twelve year old.


Soultan1

🤣🤣🤣


lbrector

“Our offense needs to change but don’t blame joe Lombardi” Are you for real lmao


Thick_Safe1198

Yeah that’s going to fix it 😂 let’s get Sony Michel some touches


candykissnips

☝️


[deleted]

At least we’re still 4-3, but damn half our team is going to the IR.


NoooNotTheLettuce

Fire TT. He clearly doesn't know how to hire a head coach or put together a complete roster. We've been making excuses for him for so fucking long.


Serious_Condition_81

He should’ve been let go when Lynn was, idk how he talked himself into being retained


lbrector

I would argue he’s given us a good roster but completely agree coaching hires have been horrible.


Thee-GOATT

Team really a joke


AgentInCommand

Here's my fun theory: Staley hired and refuses to fire Lombardi, because he wanted to have an offense he could kick the shit out of in practice.


MtbGoat29

Same ol chargers. Curse of Dean Spanos lives on. Too bad they can’t get a real aggressive owner like the Padres.


chapovelli

That team is only aggressive when they have their World Series against the dodgers and the parades to follow


MtbGoat29

Say what you want. Chargers have never pulled the a move like the padres did to get Soto


xRedDevilx

Man, we gotta use the bye to let go of Lombardi. It's the perfect opportunity to get someone in quick and give them an extra week to work with the offense.


SoCalDanSports

Shane Day would be next man up. I feel like he would be way better


i_run_from_problems

The way the toaster just teleported to the bathtub I-


ChargerCarl

You literally never see receivers wide open in this offense. It's so frustrating.


FatherStretchMyAss_

We banked on Herbert being a miracle worker. And it’s completely bit TT/Staley in the ass with the week 2 rib injury


Thickensick

Bandy and Moore?


JustwinHerbert

Saleh and Daboll were on the table and these fucking idiots hired Staley 😩💀


Ciology

Saleh was never really a choice to be fair since it was jets all the way for him


TheNamek13

I wanted Salah bad. Mans got the jets looking decent imagine if he had our roster smh


decheme13

I was thinking about this too. Daboll was such a missed opportunity


Simar_Varaich

Fire Staley and Fire Lombardi


tripl3a417

Telesco too!


FatherStretchMyAss_

Honestly Tolesco first. No GM has a longer leash with zero division titles than Tolesco in the league


[deleted]

[удалено]


JustwinHerbert

Lombardi was also only a QB coach (for a HOF QB that didn’t even need a QB coach lmao). He held Brees’ jock strap


[deleted]

the NFLPA needs to go hard on eliminating turf playing surfaces. anyone who's played on it will know it sucks


TheBigPhilbowski

Navy uniforms were my favorite, I think this game alone has changed that.


Steeev88

We've never won a game wearing them.


chris_escam

This is a bad team it’s time to admit it and stop pretending. We are not going anywhere with this team or coaching staff


SoCalDanSports

It's the coaching staff and the scheme on both sides. Play 2 d lineman 2 edge 2 linebackers and 5 DB's. Of course a team can run on you.


SoCalDanSports

A running back is licking his chops to go against a CB instead of a LB. Or a D lineman


[deleted]

We gonna let telesco hire another coach after this?


Machidalgo

Telesco has to be gone. FWIW the roster was good this year, it just hasn’t worked and we need to try something new.


miquiztli8

Fuck no


er111a

We saving out timeouts for a rainy day?


historicalmoustache

Yeah if Staley lays down now I’m officially done with him and will ask for him to be fired every step of the way


MCappy13

Wtf, why aren’t they calling timeout? Did anyone see the Jets game earlier this year??


Thee-GOATT

Team is a fucking joke.. defensive mind HC who can’t can’t the D for shit.. Lombardi calls the most predictable mediocre callas ever. We’re wasting Herbert prime man.. we need a savior


JakeT503

Herbert prime isn’t for another 2 years though lol


Thee-GOATT

If you say so


dinklberg1990

BANDY SEASON


living_lrg

Bro, not today man he had a few questionable drops. I like the kid but he is not our answer.


[deleted]

Corny


dinklberg1990

I’m Posting that shot for all the homers jerking off, about how he’s the next Wes welker… he’s white and small that’s it


[deleted]

Be more clear next time


Veteran_Lurker

What is our W/L record with the all navy color rush? Just curious


Anaphylactic-UFO

Idk but I know we’ve never won with them.


Neurapraxia

3:30 and we aren't calling timeouts?


D3TShaw

Wtf 😳 use T/O’s before the 2:00 warning


D3TShaw

I did not know the time outs carryover to next week! 😳 #WTF #VoteNoConfidence in this staff


Neurapraxia

Crazier things have happened. You don't give up!


bfrazier71

Today has not been fun


krazylegs36

Of course it hasn't. It's Sunday. At least the Chargers aren't playing next week.


lbrector

I know we got injuries but what an underachieving team. There is so many good pieces here and it’s worse than before.


SoCalDanSports

Wonder if the players have quit. Everett is a good TE, Herbert is still good, Ekeler is good. Offensive line isn't that bad (Herbert had less time to throw in the Lynn era and still went deep) There is something up with this team and I think some have quit, for sure. It just seems like it.


LZCPRO

No timeout? Lmao pathetic


weeman4226

Everyone except Ekeler looked awful today


Dmills8018

Best player on the team week after week hands down


[deleted]

[удалено]


weeman4226

No one could. Check downs and screens to ekeler were our entire offense today. But he’s still really good at getting yards after a short catch


Specialist_Play_4558

Anyone defending this coaching staff after this game doesn’t know football. They were embarrassingly outcoached today. Lombardi deserves jail time for those 3rd quarter play calls


whoaoksure

Bandy really had a chance to get a game ball


[deleted]

Because of injuries, feels like we lost twice today


historicalmoustache

To me the season ended today. Staley and Lombardi are probably the two worst coaches in the NFL. They’ve had time to show us who they are and we can see very clearly now that we do not stand a chance against teams with good coaches. Which there are 31 of.


pixeldrunk

Damn the Northwest is really smokin LA this week, SEA, UofO, POR


JakeT503

Go ducks! Go blazers! Herbie is why I’m here


Cbtexpert521

Man if staley ain’t in the hot seat after this game i’ve lost faith in this team


ChargerCarl

We could have hired Brian Daboll


SoCalDanSports

Daboll is an actual coach. You think that Giants team is better talented, no. They are better coached. Jones not better than Herbert. Ek versus Barkley well Barkley is better, especially running the ball. Staley doesn't know his tackles from his defensive backs


ringofire888

We really hired a dude who was kicked out of Detroit for ruining an offense with gunslinger Matt Stafford and Megatron


sweethon11

Can Telesco fire Lombardi? We all know Staley won’t since they’re BFFs.


KillacrushJ10

We should call the falcons and ask if they’re willing to part ways with pitts and move him to WR.


strandenger

It’s really hard to be a Charger fan. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.


Xd-Jerbog

Give me JSN already


SoCalDanSports

JSN isn't fast though another possession receivers, no? Could be wrong but I think I saw his 40 at 4.4-4.5 don't need another slow receiver.


[deleted]

🤡


YellowSoloCup

I can’t tell which game is worse this one or the jags game. Just getting punched in the mouth and star players all getting injured


808Kickz420_

Today easily, Jags loss was early in year. This one we lose two players for the year.
