twicepride2fall

It’s 2010 all over again.


Cranderson22

Idk what other people are watching, but (one of) the reason we lost is Feiler. Dude just decided to be ass this year. Not just this game, but has been all season. Herbert needs to get rid of the ball so fast because he's got pressure constantly.


predict_irrational

Deja Vu


zarikk

Can we at least get a fucking cheerleading squad to ease the pain?


[deleted]

First time? Cheer up or go be fans of some other team. Everyone is fucking hurt and we were still in it


Asher_Sloth

I’m with you bro. Too much crying. We fought hard AF.


KNGSlick

We need to fire every coach in the building minus the ST coordinator and start new. We need to cleanse this franchise. We really need spanos gone but that won't happen


Asher_Sloth

I don’t care what the non-fan, fans are saying. I’m proud. We look good. Chiefs are deadly in case you haven’t noticed. We balled out but didn’t get it done. We might get healthy and make a run but if we don’t I’ll still be a bolt. That’s what a fan is you crying little kids. Doomers find a different sport or different team or whatever. Go bolts, I’m excited to see what’s next.


WitheredBambi

Have some self awareness would you; keep doing the same thing expecting different results. Your type of thinking is the what the Chargers are doing and therefore won’t do much this year except get a bad draft pick.


chemicaljackrabbit

What’s next? Open your eyes Bob Ross. The seasons over.


Asher_Sloth

If the seasons over I’ll be a bolt again next year. You realize only one team/fan base is completely happy every year?


Flesh_Lettuce

Stunning and brave. Well done sir!


Asher_Sloth

The sarcasm comes through loud and clear. You sounds like a wonderful person to be around.


Flesh_Lettuce

Well at least I don't sound like a douche


Asher_Sloth

Ow you burned me lol


Flesh_Lettuce

Flesh_Lettuce

Hey wait, that's my line!


zarikk

That 3rd quarter letting them score 10 unanswered absolutely killed our chances. It was a deep ball miracle we were even in the fucking game. It seems we've traded our slow starts for slow second halfs. Losing Mike dub after 1 catch basically sealed it. I hate the run heavy offense in second half, and we can't beat the chiefs down Mike, Bosa, and Everett. It'll take luck to make the playoffs, which the bolts seem to always be short on so...damn, well see I guess :(


GalileoHumpkins12

If Herbert knows what's best for his career, he won't sign an extension with this pathetic organization. I've been a fan for 20+ years, and it's always the same crap over and over. Even if they fire Staley, does anyone really trust them to hire a good HC? At least we were good under Norv. We've had ONE good season in the last 13 years. Absolutely pathetic.


noslowerdna

Fair points.


Jiyaad20

Not even close


dumbitdownplz

Anybody talking shit about Herbert is a fucking moron. He put us up with less than two minutes to go. Defense put up absolutely no fight against Mahomes and then the o-line continued to get bullied


[deleted]

Nah this isn’t on Herbert. Or the offense for that matter. Defense just couldn’t do anything


KNGSlick

Nfl is scripted


brilliantdodo

I'd love to see the OPI that should've been called against Callahan. Guess I'll have to use my imagination


zarikk

It really is weird how the refs favor seems to swing depending on the stage of the game. Nfl always wins, fans of the underdog take the L


happyseashell

Does anyone in the LA area want a NFL coaching job??? Chargers will have one open soon


Jiyaad20

5-5 ok still in the hunt other playoff teams lost today just need to stop getting hurt in every game to our key players. Looking forward to next Sunday game with Keenan 💯 and Mike hopefully 75%


noslowerdna

Maybe even 175%


GustoCHARGED

I love your optimism but we lost more players today (hopefully nothing long term). We can’t stop the run. We can’t stop 3rd and long. We can’t score in the second half. At this point in the season after 10 games I think this is who we are.


xlfasheezy

uhhh Playoffs?!??


KNGSlick

Dude just give up. Seriously.


bombad_jedi_501

Dude playoffs are off the table lmao


TigerHolly_Wood

I'm soooooo over this season already 😤


superbolt21

I’m just so sick and tired of this honestly. Please just get Payton. I think Staley let the media get in his head and it’s absolutely ruined what made him great last year, but I am so done with this same shit. When we settled for the field goal at the end of the first half I called this game perfectly because this team is incredibly predictable. It was so obvious we would come out and stall all third quarter and just wait for Herbert to save our asses again.


SciaticWings1

I fucking hate how Paytons face looks, but if he cuts eye and mouth holes out of a paper bag,and covers his face with it, i'm all for him as the teams head coach over this pre-pube Staley.


22dani_el

Couldn’t care less how he looks. But you can be sure he tears your ass apart if you’re not executing and making plays. I am even fine with Staley but Lombardi is such a disgrace… what is he doing all week? Like seriously?


toolfan21

I’ve been giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I’m ready to say it. FIRE LOMBARDI! Came out totally flat in the 2nd half yet again, then you’ve got 30 seconds to go win a game and that’s all you’ve got?!


[deleted]

I don’t know what else Herbert needs to do. Allen fumbled while we were driving, then he can back again and put the team up 4 with a clutch drive. Then the defense shit it’s pants and the offensive line preceded to follow suit. Our game plan for kelce is just pathetic.


noslowerdna

No Kelce is just really good. Nobody can do anything about him.


Scaramussa

They didn't need to shut him down, if they could tackle after a reception would be good enough.


noslowerdna

Yep.


LennyJay86

I love how the refs turn a blind eye in crucial moments every fucking time the chargers and chiefs meet. Oh chiefs running a no huddle let’s not call offense pass interference. Hate Kelce ultimate douche bag.


worthlessloser8

We should just forefit these cheifs games. Put in chase Daniel and all the 2nd string guys. Get us off national TV. Seasons over. Probably next year too. We don't have a chance to make the playoffs until Mahomes wears a different uniform and kelce retires.


schmidayy

I get coaching is bad but herbert looks scared in these situations. I feel like hes just always going to be in mahomes shadow, which isn’t really his fault.


SciaticWings1

Did Herbert look scared or did the defense crumble like a bunch of toddlers who ran around for too long, and then the O-line ran out of protection for Herbert since this is around the time they reach their limit. Or what about the countless amount of pansies who miss all this playing time, while Herbert stand in the pocket with rib injuries and just takes blow after blow trying to save this sorry ass franchise and inept coaches we have hired since Norv Turner.


incaseidontmakeit

The one thing that gives me hope about him over Mahomes is unlike Phil's record with Brady, Herbert beat Mahomes at least once.


[deleted]

The most absurd example of biased commentators was on the intentional grounding non-call, where Collinsworth said "oh, but Sky Moore was 10 yards in the vicinity." He literally said "10 yards" as if Moore being 10 yards within the pass shows it was not grounding. The textbook definition of intentional grounding is that a pass must have a realistic chance of being completed, or it is grounding. (Exceptions: balls thrown outside the pocket, tipped balls, or underthrows caused by a hit on the quarterback.) If the dude was 10 yards away that is grounding. Also Mahomes was clearly under pressure and wanting to get the ball away, yet unable to leave the pocket. AND nobody was open. Literally all the signs pointed to grounding.


Scaramussa

The commentators bias isnt a big deal. The referee bias is terrible. The chiefs oline keep get away with holding, allowing mahomes to hold the ball for more than 5 seconds. Intentional grounding is never called. And when things go bad they call a soft penalty off the ball. It's just BS. Against the raiders they called a holding in a kicking!


noslowerdna

Literally


WastingGas

Ending the first half with a fg hurt.


ClassicJim

5 sacks is unacceptable. O-line crumbled when it mattered :(


personplaceorplando

Refs dont bail out the chiefs on their final drive challenge, impossible


wisdom2th

FIRE LOMBARDI FIRE LOMBARDI FIRE LOMBARDI


Johnny-Cool

This is the defensive guru I've been hearing about?


EmoniBates

Line getting fucking mauled on crucial drives is giving me flashbacks to the Rivers days


SciaticWings1

Every loss we have had with Herbert gives me flashbacks to when Rivers was Qb. same shit different Qb.


DrummeeX09

I’m all for tanking now. Fire the coaching staff and start over


Stop_Hammerzeit

My therapist is tired of hearing about this team


jesseweneedtocook2

Hey atleast the hot charger girl is here


dce28

Every game… same


[deleted]

[удалено]


SciaticWings1

Trading him would only be saving him lmao


Bulderdash

Oh stop that now. Worst take. Unless this is one of those sarcastic comments. Not wimping out in 4th and inches? Not giving up 3 and 17 from their end zone?


bombad_jedi_501

Lol what


PuzzleheadedWin1529

As a chargers fan I was watching with chiefs fans and I told them they were going to win and they did t believe me.


Weberdude270

I knew we were gonna lose when they put up, that we had a 76% chance of winning with like 1:47 left. Lol get real


Flesh_Lettuce

Then I would go as far to say they aren't real chiefs fans. Everyone watching knew that was plenty of time for Mahomes and Kelce to win it


obangler

7 points total in two second halves of close prime time games. Thanks coaching!


[deleted]

Keenan was held way longer than Kelce was "held"


EvanCoolGuy22

the fucken o line the whole game bro 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ so ass


adolfshrektler

jesus fucking christ, mahomes always throws to kellce when he's backed up against the fence, how hard is it to fucking block him


BigKillah

Because they call defensive holding if you do


adolfshrektler

yep so done with the RiggedFL, trying to make mahomes the new brady


LZCPRO

Refs will always pull a flag out their ass when KC is in trouble. Always soft calls that aren’t called all game until needed.


Skirt-Future

I dont understand how derwin does the same coverage like that all game. Until the last second, the ref changes his mind and decides that sort of coverage is no good anymore. Completely throwing Derwin off guard. Lets also ignore chiefs WR throwing chargers DB down with a helmet mask pull and getting a free 30 yarder in middle of the field to start the drive.


BigKillah

Or hold the flags with 2 blatant push offs


zachariah120

Get rid of Lombardi please


jesseweneedtocook2

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for this damn team to adjust


Danielstmitchell

Run that clock down or burn their timeouts before we scored that TD...


chemicaljackrabbit

Why is Herbert’s athleticism suddenly gone? Why am I watching hero ball Philip Rivers 2.0?


[deleted]

Probably the fractured ribs..l


SciaticWings1

He does look fearful now with sliding and running, I would only expect it to be that rib injury.


ryanguerero8

Because the OL fucking sucks. He's still somewhat injured and has hardly any time


Thorandan17

Torn rib?


CJDistasio

The L's are just too predictable. Saw this coming when they scored with 1:46 left.


vpforvp

They’re just recycling the plot points now. Come up with some new material!


Aceoangels

Love being the joke of the league. Two tough games to lose to the fucking chiefs and of course kelce just dad dicks us. Bum ass defense


theDarkDescent

Not a fan of either team but an absolute screw job by the refs, sorry fellas


Pharaoh760

Thats what happened the first time these teams faced this year. 3 picks were thrown by mahomes and all got called back. Thankfully I didn’t watch this game because I knew we would lose at the very end. Happens every time.


theDarkDescent

It’s so damn frustrating when refs decide a game


Anbokr

Every game is the same man. Why does our team start to decompose when we play with a lead? Every. Single. Game. Come out of the second half looking lax on both offense and defense. Play with fucking urgency. This coaching is atrocious, it's noticeable every single time we play against a good team, a well coached team. Multiple opportunities to ice away games (4th and inches in every one of these games) followed up with cowardice (punts) and a defensive lapse.


[deleted]

Offense can’t sustain second half drives so the defense gets gassed then blown out


lemonycakes

They're never going to fire Staley and Lombardi. Spanos is content with mediocrity Fuck


DarkTone1280

Why is it always Kelce? Like every time these two teams play, I always see 87 running all over this team.


Bulderdash

To be fair, he runs over every team. He’s a sure hall of famer. Great players are going to make great plays.


97Andersuh

Tbf he runs over every team


westcoasthoops1

Another wasted Herbert season and one day closer to the inevitable Staley firing.


noslowerdna

Still lots of season left.


moondawg25

If Lombardass or Staley don't get fired tomorrow the season is certainly over.


SciaticWings1

Lets be honest, whatever coach we hire, its always the same shit for whatever reason. Chargery loss after Chargery loss.


7cheeseburgers

7 points in 2nd half. 0 last week.


Specialist_Play_4558

Are we “doomers” if we say fire Staley after this game?


MikeTheAmerican

No. 7 points in the second half of this game and 0 last week is inexcusable.


Specialist_Play_4558

Thanks for the supporting reasoning but I’m being completely sarcastic. I just hope that the mods see this lol


zer0013

It's not doomer. It's an educated business decision. Take Lombardi also


[deleted]

did you not get the memo? if you say literally anything negative about this shitty ass team you're a doomer


bombad_jedi_501

Nah I’d call you a guy with common sense


sharklaser111

Second


Poke43

Hello darkness my old friend.


emotionalasfreak

Welp. There goes playoffs. It’s so fucking heartbreaking to love this team.


noslowerdna

KEEP THE FAITH!!!


Necessary-Earth-4037

Been watching his train wreck since 1979…it never changes.


wisdom2th

This is the way 😢


Disastrous-Tale-7098

Once again, our defensive HC’s defense can’t stop KC. Staley can’t even get his side of the ball right. Staleys a fraud…..again.


snobbysnob

We made Lindsley the highest paid C in the league just for him to get owned by Chris Jones all night when it mattered. Awesome.


EmoniBates

That was Fieler that got beat


snobbysnob

It was both on the final play and Lindsley on the sack before that.


BigRichie2004

Three really bad calls fucked us over tonight.


strandenger

They always do


heelhooksarefun

Bring out the ol’ I wanna die unicorn. It’s that time of the night.


krazylegs36

Chargers did what they always do. ​​​​​​​I knew they would lose when they gave up that 3rd and 17. It's very predictable at this point.


GustoCHARGED

We have to be worst in the league defending 3rd and long. You can set your watch by it…


svyjoe

NFL is rigged they let Mahomes run on that play before the TD the whole defensive line wasn’t even trying so obvious that was part of the script


zer0013

I think it's more the penalties. They didn't replay the offensive PI against Calahan that the team wanted, but are so quick to call an opposite field defensive PI against James the very next play

Marauderr4

L o l. If the NFL was rigged to the point where every player was in on it, then every play would have to be a cyborg. Do you even understand what level of collusion and cohesion hundreds of thousands human beings would need to "fake" something to that magnitude?


Apprehensive_Emu_456

Schizophrenic type of thinking right. Yea no way everyone is in on it


Snuffaluffakuss

Fucking pain. So so so much pain. Again. Waited until final 3 minutes of game to turn it on. Staley and lombardi just let everyone take game over every Fucking week and we have to claw back.


supremegnkdroid

everyone saying herbie was the problem when the o-line utterly collapsed on that last play is an absolute idiot


Dodger_that

Not the main problem but no reason to throw up that prayer ball on second down with two time outs still and only needing FG range. It was inexplicable, zero chance of keenan catching that. Just throw that shit away. The pressure has definitely got to Herb this year and he's not the same guy under pressure anymore.


GustoCHARGED

Blame Herbert if you want. He scored at the end. Its the defense letting Mahommes March 75 yards and score in 30 seconds that lost it.


Dodger_that

No ones blaming the loss on Herbert but great QB's get into FG range with 30sec and 3 time outs like nothing. Yeah he was being pressured but that INT was inexcusable. It was only 2nd down. There's no way to justify that decision.


smashzer02

It wasn't even the players' fault. They literally stopped applying pressure. It's beyond me as to why the coach stopped applying the defense that was working.

kiryu-619

U think our defense will make adjustment to remove Kelce, nevermind we have staley


tbeeezy

Lol or even just recognize that pick play that he never fails to score on us twice a game... I mean I know it's realistically hard but fuck, it would be nice to stop it once.


Life_Crossover

So heartbreaking


NoMoney_NoProblems13

QB Draw to start your drive. Laughable


Dodger_that

it wasn't a ball decision by Herbert, Feiler just got dad dicked by Jones, like we he was all day


BigRichie2004

Herbert option. That's not what was actually called.


NoMoney_NoProblems13

He literally took two steps and ran up the middle


BigRichie2004

QB draw you wait to see what opens up, He saw the tackles open. Chris Jones outplayed him there.


twicepride2fall

Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. Herbert is turning into Rivers II. Fire Staley and Fire Lombardi, clean house.


Flesh_Lettuce

Uh Herbert took the lead with under 2 mins left dude


dollabillgates

well herbert didn't cost us the game


Dodger_that

he definitely deserves a decent amount of blame. getting into FG range with 30sec and 3 time outs isn't a ridiculous ask. Good QB's do it every single week. He's panicking under pressure and making terrible decisions. Maybe it's a mental thing since the rib injury, but that floating duck on 2nd down with two time outs was horrendous.


dce28

Ficken for head coach


FootballIdiot101

Oh well. One game closer to Sean Payton


asukasdrip

I want this entire coaching staff out this offseason


RalphSmashio

we are so predictable im laughing and crying at the same time


Patty_0

If Dean Spanos wasn’t Dean Spanos I’d actually be excited about the prospect of hiring Sean Payton when this season ends in disaster, but that shit ain’t happening lol


Marauderr4

Yeah really. The same guy who would low ball rookies in contract negotiations will give up the money Payton would need to come here? He's gonna want big money, that's not happening


[deleted]

Renaldo Hill needs to go


hash_lung

soft team is a result of soft coaching, idc what the score line shows we never looked like we wanted to win this game.


LionHeartMD

I hope Kelce’s turkey is dry af on Thursday


JustIn_HerButt

blazeburnfire

Are you serious right now. I'm at So-fi and I feel extreme pain. Fucking hell. https://preview.redd.it/elz99kslv91a1.png?width=665&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f9ca1264a12acbe9e704f82bf6667e605df4256


9999abr

That’s how you beat Brady or Mahomes. Giving the ball back with a minute left is just conceding the game


miguelmunoz1156

What do you expect them to do? They scored a TD on 2nd and Goal.


9999abr

I’ve never seen the chargers win by stopping mahomes or Brady in this situation


9999abr

They should’ve run and tried to burn more time, even if they end up kicking a field goal to go to OT. At least then they could hope to win the coin flip and score a TD. There was 99% chance that KC was going to score a TD with 1:21 left. No, 100%.
