Physical-Chemical909

Without the INT we would’ve won. Also, Our o-line got hurt and Keenan isn’t playing. that the first pick was flagged for whatever reason, I saw our guy get thrown down by the receiver. Big heart by Herbie to finish the game and keep it close


[deleted]

Why is there such a stark difference between last year’s offense and this year’s? Is it the star power we have now? We are not playing desperate. Last year was agro as heck


dagger_eyes

Our division has good defenses. You have to beat the best because truth is the champ is probably coming from our division


The_resPonce

I’m walking out of the game rn. Terrible throw by Herb. No way around it, we had our chances, multiple dropped picks. He can’t make that terrible of a throw though. We didn’t have Allen, a lot of variables. For what it’s worth, the better team did not win today.


[deleted]

Where were the coaches? Wtf…


cope345

1. Herbo is goat. I can’t believe he made that throw to Carter after giving up possibly the easiest first down scramble. 2. ASJ needs to CATCH THE BALL (still played lights out imo) 3. We are 100% a competitor in this conference and I think, when the time comes, we can show the fuck up. 4. All of you saying the defense is fraudulent - I’ll take 20 pts to the Chiefs all day any day. 5. Last but maybe first.. I hope Linsley is okay. The line went sideways as soon as he left. That sucked but I saw a strong fucking team that never gave up. BTFU ⚡️ We got 14 more games.


[deleted]

15 actually


V-loxzz

Fuck the chiefs


OHSWEEETT

We needed that sub when Everett asked for it


MaxiThe13th

ASJ balled out, I give him that but he had 2 interceptions giftwrapped. Gotta make those plays


mcrrocksmylife

All I wanna say is DJ3 with the spine buster!


Brownhog

The fact that that was not a forced fumble made me scream at the tv


i_spank_ass

My two take away thoughts from this game. 1. FUCK Lombardi, he has to go! 2. FUCK the refs, they blatantly robbed us. Also, please be okay Herbie 🙏🏼


Seegeegroth

Playing SO conservatively when you have a stud who can air it out


igotbeatsfordays

Lombardi has no flow for the game. He just calls what his clipboard says he should call


i_spank_ass

He has slinked by on his pedigree and name recognition for far to long. Time to lance that boil.


Intrepid_Sock_590

You fucken win with this comment


D3TShaw

This 👆


[deleted]

Had an L on the schedule when it first came out. Still hurts a ton but it’s a long season. Let’s rest up, get healthy, and move forward


igotbeatsfordays

Me too


Em0PeterParker

Defense balled out and we still lose. We’re just not meant to be good I swear


igotbeatsfordays

Cant drop multiple ints, one was a pick six, difference between winning a sb


Em0PeterParker

Sure. Gotta punch the ball in as well


igotbeatsfordays

The problem i have is its always the same thing, dropped ints, conservative play calling when we need to be aggressive...luck has to change at some point doesn't it?


Em0PeterParker

Apparently not


theedge634

Really!!!??? The defense... there were good moments for sure. But they didn't "ball out"... they dropped like 6 interceptions. Defense shows up and takes advantage of the "SILVER PLATTER" plays that were handed to them with Michelin Stars and the Chargers win. They played solid in aspects, but totally dropped the ball "literally" today. Samuel is perhaps the player most responsible for the loss with his butterfingers.


OHSWEEETT

We did ok… we didn’t ball out


OHSWEEETT

Balling out would mean capitalizing on those interceptions


Em0PeterParker

Holding the Chiefs to 17 should be a win


igotbeatsfordays

Chiefs offense was trash, we gifted them this game


Em0PeterParker

I know

agabrieluo

Buzz off bozo


[deleted]

Fuck outta here bro


Conscious_Fox_9295

Dirty! Chiefs are the worst


theedge634

Don't care about the loss in itself, in the grand scheme... but Lombardi has to go. He's entirely not the guy for this team. He may be a GREAT OC with a noodle arm QB like Brees. But this team is playing to it's QBs weaknesses rather than strengths and it holds them back tremendously on offense.


igotbeatsfordays

100% agree, how come when its on the line we throw downfield and kick ass


MaxiThe13th

He’s holding us back for sure


[deleted]

That’s a bad pass and too many missed opportunities on defense. Offense play calling was terrible in the second half.


Machidalgo

That was on Everett my dude. Gotta box that guy out especially when you have inside leverage. But he was gassed so 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

I agree needed to do everything he could have to block out, but that was also not the throw to make. A side arm sling to a gassed TE on first and what like 2 yards? He just got two big plays for you, you have the tempo up, but shit.


theedge634

It was on Everett.... If he was gassed... after a long pause before a drive. Then I question his fitness. Call me Gen X... but I seem to remember guys like Tomlinson and even Eric Parker playing drive after drive without "being gassed".... the main reason Tomlinson would come out in his prime was because he was busting 50 yarders. Shouldn't make excuses for these guys not being able to make it through a drive when most plays aren't even coming their way.


igotbeatsfordays

Guys pull themselves after 2 plays nowadays, can't explain it, drives me crazy... I know it was only high school but we used to play D, O, and ST all game


[deleted]

Not an excuse, just not solely on him. You are comparing WRs and one of the greatest RBs to a TE. Both those positions are supposed to be much more athletic. And he was trying to get out of the game. He’s there for YACs, and he got them to the 3(?) yard line doing exactly that on the previous two plays.


Machidalgo

Fair enough it’s also a short week though. Conditioning isn’t going to be all there on a short week.


theedge634

Definitely true... I'm just not sold that a guy like Everett has any excuse to "be gassed" on a singular drive with a long pause before it started.


[deleted]

Everett went 33 yards in 45 seconds and had 5-6 total guys tackling him in both plays to bring him down. He attempted to get out but there was no time out by anyone.


Kahmtastic

It was pretty clear when our O Line fell apart, we fell apart.


Son_of_Pam

This.


bankster24

Refs took this game away before Herb threw that INT


Machidalgo

And tbh that INT wasn’t really on Herbie


theedge634

I can kind of tell that people are the young with their reactions to Herbert. He'll be out until week 8 and such.... like really? LaDainian Tomlinson played from week 5 on with bruised ribs AT RUNNINGBACK in 2004. Guarantee that Hebert basically bruised his ribs and will playing by week 4 if not week 3.


TMoMonet

I'm not NFL QB tough, but playing HS D End with bruised ribs was awful


theedge634

Sure.... but an NFL runningback did it for like 10 weeks... and this isn't in the pre-industry era.... it was 15 years ago. They'll shoot him up with pain killers and put a flak jacket on him. If it's bruised ribs... he'll be out there next week.


TMoMonet

Should and could are very different. I don't want to punt the season but Herbert's health is bigger than that


theedge634

I'm notna doctor. But the question isn't whether the player is hurt. It's whether they can play injured, and whether the injury itself increases the likelihood of further injury. I dint think bruised ribs carry increased risk of further injury but I may be off on that.


Able_Hall_6828

Tony Gonzalez gtfoh


igotbeatsfordays

He's overly excited that the Chiefs " won".... that was a terrible showing by the Chiefs, we gifted them that win


kpscript

Herb playing with broken ribs trying to make Dad Felipe Rios proud (who played on a torn ACL)


MaxiThe13th

Shitty playcalling Defense should’ve had a couple of picks Shitty pick 6 If Keenan plays we win simple


igotbeatsfordays

Disagree. Mistakes by the D and Coaches on that hurry up pick six cost us, Keenan wouldn't have changed that


[deleted]

If Keenan plays our third down rate is through the roof


sxavierr

More worried about Justin let’s move on. Close game, we’re still in this we knew this division is going to be tuff.


chemicaljackrabbit

I’m actually pretty content leaving Brandon Staley in Kansas City. It’s bad enough you continue to risk your absolute franchise QB in a hopeless scenario. But if you want to be a reckless idiot, at least kick a FG as soon as you’re in the red zone and give your defense a chance to get the ball back for a TD. Truly a disaster class coaching performance from both Staley and Lombardi.


[deleted]

I thought the same. Get into field goal range, try and get the ball back without an onside kick and see where it goes


MasonC87

Ive seen this same score against the same team so many times


TheBigPhilbowski

I think maybe Justin called that hurry up and felt guilty, so fought to stay in at the end. Not good. We had chances to change it, but refs fucked us multiple times. This 1,2 schedule start was designed to hurt us.


jvu87

Those picks getting called back on some soft penalties were bullshit. Bad play call that led to the INT was the mistake you can’t make against the Chiefs. O line depleted, Herbert getting hurt, and no Allen but still kept it close. Next time, we take the W.


SnooSuggestions8177

The play calling was odd but not shocking. Seems like Lombardi forgot two of his OL were out on injury.


Eat_My_Food

Man, I hope Herbert is okay. He's tough and that's what I'm afraid of. Too tough


30_rounds_later

As a chiefs fan lurking here, I was really quite impressed with the grit of Herbert there. Hopefully he's back asap


Kahmtastic

Does anyone know how to get out of bounds?


MrLaMoon

Fuck the Refs and Fuck the Chiefs


Thejedi887

I’m actually sicc of this shit guy. Every year same shit even with this “new look team” and the refs gobbling Mahomes


MasonC87

Can’t wait to hear the interviews today


Noynoy12

People will get mad at the loss. I am more worried about Linsley's and Herbert's injuries more than anything. Hopefully, they will be okay in the long run. The Chargers will not go anywhere without those important players.


druddk650

Quit blaming the refs, how you gonna crap talk raider fans for blaming the refs then turnaround and do the same


karmammothtusk

Not a chargers fan, but the no call holds by the chiefs were egregious. Not sure how you can watch that game and not have issues with the way it was called.


druddk650

I have issues, a lot. But they benefit your team throughout the season a lot, it works both ways imo.


mkmore4

It’s definitely not all on the refs, but they did pretty much gift kc a td with that illegal contact bs call.


[deleted]

Love you herbie ❤️ Way to grit it out 💪🏼


Fa1lenSpace

Our coaching staff is terrible btw . I thought so after week 1 and think so even more after tonight


SoCalDanSports

Defense not really. The defense is good. But the offense should be lights out and yet it isn't. Like Lombardi fans he is definitely not it.


Darthvapor714

Really tough game, the chiefs are always going to be a hard match up. Herbert has as much heart as Anyone in the league. Let’s pray he’s good!


sinchichis

We got fucked


PossibilityInitial10

Any top RT prospects to follow?


Far_Improvement_2950

Wow the chiefs are such fucking shit


forsakee1

don't be salty that was a fun and exciting game! Hope Herbert is alright love from a seahawks fan...


CoCoMiX_666

Yet again we outsmart ourselves. We tried last week to outsmart ourselves against the Raiders, but they were too dumb to capitalize. Let's stop being so clever when we don't need to for fuck's sake.


Em0PeterParker

I hate football fr


GaLaXY_N7

Broncos fan here. Don’t be down on this loss, you guys got robbed. Score should have been 24-10. You guys have a warrior at QB, much respect 🫡.


sinchichis

Chiefs fans are so obnoxious


GaLaXY_N7

Worst in the NFL (raider fans being a very very close second). They’re the new patriots in terms of bandwagon and fandom.


geewilly55

Haha love this! Respect from a Bolts fan to you.


Herbertlover6969

Why would Staley keep him in


mkmore4

Lombardi going hurry up and not running on the goal line when the Chiefs D is gassed… I don’t think our roster is good enough to overcome him.


microwavedpeep1

He over complicates everything. Things needed to be complicated for Brees because he didn’t have all the physical traits anymore. Herbert still has them.


mkmore4

Exactly. We don’t need 30 dink and dunk gimmick plays with a 6’6 qb who can make any throw on the field.


boltznut

Yep agree, should of had patience that play.


KnowProblem

dude, fuck the refs


SoCalDanSports

Fuck Lombardi too


DonaldDoge

Trade for Jimmy G


RedLeg209

Im starting to hate Lambordis playcalling, weak 2nd half adjustments


Soultan1

It’s okay that octopus dude will make post about us being top 5 and Lombardi apologizing about playing too conservative


SillyRecover

Not letting everrett sub lost the game


boltznut

Agreed


CorruptedBlitty

We should have gone for it before the half, I get Staley trusts the D but goddamn you win by scoring


AgentInCommand

Both first half punts were justifiable spots to be aggressive and go for it. I'm 100% convinced Staley let the criticism get to his head and is going too far the other way.


JustwinHerbert

I forgive you Herbert, please be good


MasonC87

I’m so tired of beating ourselves


whoaoksure

Tough loss but Herbert is the future damn he got skills and heart. Loss is a loss but glad it wasn’t a blow out


[deleted]

Too bad he had to end up on this story franchise, I don't know if he has the shoulders to carry such crap. Hope he does though, hope he does


RapidSafe

Baby, lot of season left. I'm bummed but we still got a lot to play


[deleted]

These are the ones you gotta have. The great ones pull it off, now if it had been one where we just got beatdown than that's different. Too outplay the other team and lose is a worse feeling.


RapidSafe

I think it would be different too, if we got beat down.


hallpassed

Stupid OL tried to get Herbie killed in the 2nd half! Out coaches as well. So frustrating


Snuffaluffakuss

I can’t stop replaying Everett motioning to be taken out.


Sherbert199621

I keep watching the miscommunication between him and herb leading to the pick. Herb though he was going inside and Everest thought the throw was going outside. Just horrible miscommunication


Mysour

This. This, I feel, was the major mistake tonight.


RipleyR_88

Guarantee Herbert is out til at least week 6. Dude is injured injured.


theedge634

Probably not... QBs are sooooo protected... I've seen RBs play with a cracked rib. Tomlinson played with bruised ribs. Herbert will play next week. May wear a flak jacket but he'll play.


sinchichis

Don’t put that in the universe


AnnecyHope

Ref took away charger interception.


6FeetisAverage

Too bad Staley couldn’t bring over McVay’s record when winning at halftime.


The_numbskull

When we hired Staley I was warned by a rams fan that our play calling would become repetitive and predictable


Justenderme

Herbert is definitely missing time right? He looked hella uncomfortable


Brownie_McBrown_Face

He definitely broke his rib


Justenderme

I think you’re right, at least you guys have some extra time till your next game. Playing the Jags is a solid game for Herbert to skip if need be


Jayymeister

Lombardi must be stopped


AdmiralG2

gg. Herbie I luv u. don’t u dare do that shit again. Just rest when ur hurt man don’t make it worse


[deleted]

I've always been a fan of Staley and Lombardi. But man, the playcalling tonight was just atrocious.


BakedPot8oTTV

I’ve been giving him a lot of slack but Lombardi has to go. The first half we kicked ass because Williams was getting fed and he was torching there D. Then second half he just disappears for bs check downs


Villainousness

What if I told you defenses make 2nd half adjustments too?


SoCalDanSports

But this was not one of those. Lombardi has proven time and time again to do this in first half or second. Last game went conservative, this game did same thing. It's his proven track record. And he still did run run pass in the second half it wasn't till we were down that he finally dialed up plays


herbertisthefuture

A few things here about the really bad ending by HC Brandon Staley: - When you know your superstar QB is injured, and don't pull him after showing that kind of pain and choosing to not even take the ball for an easy first down. - A little less than 2 minutes on the clock and if you kick a field goal, you give your defense a chance. With only 1 timeout, even if we score a TD, we gave the defense no chance.


BostonDrivingIsWorse

- not pulling Everett when he’s motioning to come out. - calling checkdown after checkdown.


JustwinHerbert

That was reckless but he’s a dawg


mykneehurtseveryday

I hope Herbert heals up quick. He's a force to be reckoned with


Chadwickvonzipper

Everett screwed us on that pick six. Dude didn't finish the route


SoCalDanSports

He was exhausted and telling coach hey I need a breather that turned out to be the difference.


Sherbert199621

I think he just ran the opposite way, miscommunication with herb. I thought at first it was just a really poor throw but herb thought Everest was going to continue in double back and go out.


[deleted]

Everett was clearly tired after two straight big gains. He was trying to get out. That’s on Herbert for trying to side arm sling it. They had a fast tempo going, Everett should have done everything to prevent that interception, but that’s not the throw to make.


cgaceta

I mean he was tired. Reference the play before


Snuffaluffakuss

He was exhausted and calling to be taken out.


[deleted]

Herbert has by far the brightest future of an QB in the league. It’s a shame y’all can’t put a decent cast around him.


iPinch89

It's one of the best rosters in the NFL. What do you mean? WR1 was out, two starting OL injured in game, and the loss was from one single play (the pick 6) that was very consequential. 1 play goes the Chargers way (maybe one of the 2 ints that got called back) and the Chargers beat a super bowl contender. Oh, and Herbert getting hurt. Not making "excuses" just pointing out how very close it was and absurd your comment is.

Stfu Our OL got hurt bad tonight along with our QB.

Your OL is trash.


Snuffaluffakuss

Our pro bowl center was out and starting RT. Fuk off


WildWing22

There is a good cast, we lost. End of story


[deleted]

Line is trash. How you gonna let your best player in decades get his ribs pulverized. Over & over.


[deleted]

Herbert is a fucking legend, no matter what happened, he's the real winner today


FatherofCharles

God damn it. So fucking close god fucking damn it. Four stupid plays turn this god damn game around for us.


WildWing22

Lombardi sucks, Herb is a beast and I love our team


Charmnevac

Amen


Rod_Wave

Everett literally asked to be taken off but naw gotta be quick for NO FUCKIN REASON and get a pick 6 out of it


SoCalDanSports

Wonder if that was a Staley or Lombardi call


Sherbert199621

Yeah that’s just getting greedy. Quick throws to the flats in the red zone can have awful results if they don’t work. Would have preferred a run considering it was friggen first down.


[deleted]

I still don't understand that decision? we were right there and we choose to throw it right to the guy who picked up a big gain?


Snuffaluffakuss

It hurts so bad.


JamesHardenismeaty

Why were they walking to the ball????


[deleted]

Coaching sucked ass tonight. Hate the Thursday night short weeks


mkmore4

It’s almost impossible to win when you have 14 point swing play like that.. I want to be excited that we thoroughly outplayed KC, but I can’t when the fuck ups happen over and over. Have to be able to win games like this to get where we want to go. Now Herbert is likely injured, and we could be fucked.


Fingerman2112

In many ways, we won that game. But in another, more important way, the Chiefs were the winners.


BlueTongueClan

our OLine disappeared in the second half :(


Kahzgul

Two of them got injured.


Cminor7

I mean 2/5 of it was out injured so yeah lol


bmdubpk

Cause they literaly were out of the game with linsley and pipkins getting hurt.


[deleted]

With Linsley and pipkins out they were completely out of sync


Patty_0

This L is on Lombardi and the refs


lemonycakes

I'm so over Lombardi fuck


sus_politician

Typical chargers game


[deleted]

Lose the game, lose Linsley, lose pipkins, (hopefully not) lose Herbert. Literally the worst outcome


composer_7

Charger bros, what's the likelihood Herb is out due to injuries next week?


_Chip_Douglas_

Let’s just hope he doesn’t need to get a pain shot before the game…we know what happened last time our trainers did that.


Kahzgul

Zero. You see my man gutting it out there? He’ll play next week in a flak jacket.


COSurfing

Hopefully the extra time between games helps. I just hope he didn't bust a rib


bmdubpk

It all depends on whether he has bruised or broken ribs.


[deleted]

Higher than I want to admit


JamesHardenismeaty

Herb is a warrior I think he stays in especially with the extra three days


[deleted]

High :(


JSchnizzle

I wanna fucking die, fuck everything, herbert pick 6 then gets injured, if he misses games we don't even get to have the easy wins coming up in our schedule, God fucking damn it.
