Been a Bolt fan since 2005. I've always been a person that would rather watch the game on TV. I went to my first Chargers game against the Falcons in 2022. It changed my opinion. The atmosphere, seeing other chargers fans, and seeing the players in the flesh. It hits different. Hopefully you get to go to a Chargers Game soon!
@@MrBwkhattab ya ya I’ve been a fan since I was born in 2000…when they moved to LA I was able to go SOOO many games…it is a different atmosphere…I lose my voice everytime…luckily they’ve won 12 out of the 14 times I’ve been…but loses hurt 1000x more lol
Hart's penalty is the one big "mistake" the Chargers made in that game I don't care about. The guy played well enough for a rookie all game and that was a soft penalty. He was doing what he's paid to do, play football.
The drops were real. This game crushed me like the Packers game last year. The officiating was terrible, and honestly it shouldn't have been close enough that these calls mattered, but at the end of the day they did.
I wouldn't count on Bosa. He sits out more than he plays during most seasons. He can't be counted on. And if he does play, he will only be good for part of a game before he's injured again.
I feel like Adam Thielen would be a great trade target. Could acquire him for a late round pick, has one more year under contract and it allows our current WRs to continue developing
Im not going to make a big deal of the fumble by reager, that play happened so fast he had almost no time to switch the ball to his left side. I want to see more of him, he was drafted highly for a reason, and his speed can create the separation we desperately need. Im actually excited to see what he can do.
That Cardinals loss was so AGGRIVATING, it felt super unfortunate for us. Johnston and Chark being out was big too, we have 1/4th the passing weapons of other playoff teams currently
"The Arizona Cardinals were the bully that game." This quote from Addae sums up the entire game. Period. The Cardinals players were *spanked* by Gannon during the week for lackluster play. They came out on Monday night focused like a laser, angry and brutally physical. They beat up the Chargers *everywhere* the ball went (and a lot of places it didn't go). They Harbaugh'ed Harbaugh. The first two series set the tone for the entire game. Yay, interception; damn, fumbled the INT. Yay, longest completion of the year: damn, fumbled out of the end zone. 17 points won that game. That should *never* happen, but especially with Justin Herbert throwing dimes. this was so disappointing, They cannot afford to give away winnable games.
If we don’t get a red zone threat kinda guy by the trade deadline , I’m gonna lose some faith in the front office because if you have eyeballs , you can see we desperately need one.
I hope we grab a WR1. Imagine us with Chark AND another beast WR. It would injury-proof our passing game somewhat, although we saw Dub and Slayer both down a few times.
@BratatoChip yea move on to another pointless season lmao. These guys are literally delusional. The game was obviously scripted...last 2 BS flags decided the game & anyone who knows that sports are simply for entertainment knows that too. let's wake up to reality for a change. not to mention, Spanos is still too cheap to sign a top-tier WR. Hortiz ain't no chef either. The only bright side of this team is the defense period...
Dunno why Matt is talking about Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Teams don’t trade good players on rookie contracts. Period. Not to mention the Jets are all in and aren’t trading their best receiver
Olave is much more likely than Wilson, the saints are probably going to realize that they have an expensive and not very good team that needs a teardown. Draft capital will be more valuable to them than a WR who will be due an extension soon
If you can't run the ball, it affects the pass. If you can't find capable receivers, it affects the run. If the defense isn't afraid of the long ball, they can load the box and stop the run, which they did. All the teams know that are weakness is in the receiving corps and the interior line, so they can exploit that weakness, which they do. We have to accept the fact we're rebuilding this year. And we need more than just Chark. Injuries will come, we need depth in the receiving corps, as well as a quality TE.
This was always a rebuilding year and we all knew the WR room was a disaster heading into the season. Everyone knew we had zero weapons and we still don’t. Interior offensive line really should not be this bad given the coaching staff.
You’d take Chargers pass rush over Denver’s? Why? They have a top 5 pressure rate and we have a bottom 5. Our pass rush outside of Khalil and the game and a half Bosa played has been a disaster
Saw Joey Bosa interview today. He said he’s playing some on Sunday. How come he doesn’t realize that his shit cereal he eats causes inflammation in the body and enables injuries!? Sugar will make you chronically ill no matter what form it comes in. Diet is everything! And along come more athletes like the Kelsey brothers putting their name on cereal boxes!🤪🤪🤑🤑
The interior right side of the O-Line is the weak link. I have yet to see any game video where Pipken is doing anything useful, and a third of the time, he's getting in his teammates' way. Bozeman is no star, but if you simply cannot trust the man on your right, your performance will suffer.
It could be. The run won't be affective until the passing game is a threat. Look at the niners or rams. Teams will be ok giving Herbert 350 passing yards since they know we have no receivers who can separate in the end zone
Don't play Bosa even if he's healthy. Make him want to be on the field. Sit him until he asks to be on the field. The Chargers are going to pay Bosa's salary no matter what. Don't put Bosa in if there is the hint of him not being 100%.
Everyone wants these receivers. What we really need is a center and 2 guards that can actually pass block. Can’t throw the ball in the intermediate zones or deep without any time. The interior pressure rate is too high
Unless we get a true WR1 in FA or via trade I can't see how they don't take the best available WR in round 1. The line needs help but that can be addressed in later rounds. A top tier WR1 cannot. We got McConkey early round 2. He'll be a great WR2, but he's not a WR1
You guys are assuming Chark will stay healthy if he does return. This team is too good to waste another Herbert prime year. Go get Williams and Njoku draft picks be damned.
Probably i will get hate about this next comment but honestly, we need to check how Keenan and Mike Williams are doing in their actual teams, neither of them are WR 1 there, both have being in and out with small injuries and doing decently but neither of them are doing as when they were with the Chargers, for me this means that Herbert was the one making those 2 guys WR1, imagine Herbert with a REAL WR1 like DK Metcalf or Justin Jefferson
This comes off as a delusional take considering neither player was expected to be the #1 wr with their new team. Plus, Williams is coming off a major injury and hasn’t been that explosive playmaker for a few seasons. Perhaps you have a misconception of your own team & know very little about the teams they are on.
Your take would have weight if they both weren’t previously very good with Rivers. But they were. Mike helped beat the chiefs in ‘18 IN ARROWHEAD. And Slay was a No. 1 since like 2014, injuries just derailed his consistency.
@@hellalyfe - his take has no weight regardless of their success with Rivers considering they weren’t expected to be the #1 wr with their new team. And the fact that Williams is coming off a major injury and hasn’t been that explosive playmaker for a few seasons.
@@hellalyfe - the original post illustrates a misconception of their own team as well as knowing very little about the Bears & Jets. Overall, it seems delusional & not having a good grasp for the game.
This shows that Herbert can't win throwing the ball. He doesn't throw well when in the red zone. Need to fire the passing game coordinator. If the players can't catch the ball, they should be let go.
Chargers will never be good on Offense until we have a good Center. When Corey Linsley was healthy in 2021, Chargers were the #4 Offense with Lombardi as OC. Bozeman is a bum. I have no idea why the Chargers didn't get a Center in the draft. Offensive tackles was not our main issue coming out of 2023. We coulda had Malik Nabers (best receiver in the draft) and Zach Frazier (best center in the draft). Instead we got a redundant right tackle and a small, injury prone slot receiver.
MW is 2A. He is not #1 (I love him but he is not #1). Olave is 2A. He is not #1. Diontae Johnson is 2B. He is not #1. Kirk is 2B. He is not #1. Ridley is 2B. He is not #1. Garrett Wilson is the only #1, but the Jets won't let him go.
Wasn’t helmet to helmet it was just below the helmet great play but the league is soft and it picks on the chargers DBs because they play old school ball
Why the refs are untouchable? What’s wrong with reviewing calls they do?. In soccer the same refs review their calls and sometimes they overturn the calls they go from yellow to red and viseversa, like that hit to jr. he was going down as he was hit it should be insidental hit , we see very fíen when the runners lower their heads when they see the hit coming and they all ways call it on the defender, other instance when Mac slapped the head Because He Was Pushed by the linesman nothing you can control if you are in the air
Matt wanted the chargers to draft a tackle and didn’t want nabors, bcuz he was on IG looking for a house in LA… now he speaks about the receiving corp. how ironic.
I wanted Alt at 5 from the beginning; protecting Justin as first priority. This is fluid - player injuries and development, fluidity of each game, etc. I'm leaning now to thinking we could use a decent veteran receiver to amp it up. I like Diontae Johnson.
What is that dude talking about we haven't ran the ball since the first two weeks and if you take out those 3 45 yd runs we haven't run the ball at all on anybody we are not a bully team
JK almost a couple yards shy of 100 yds against Denver. Steelers and the Chiefs are both tough defenses. I don't think the Chiefs have given up a 50 yd rusher this year. Outside PIT, KC, and more AZ. LAC has been running well. But with no do threat, everyone is 10 yds off the ball making it harder to run.
Jahleel sucked as a player and he sucks as a commentary analyst...first thing out his mouth "not playing Monday morning quarterback" well then don't come on

With the way refs are calling games, Herbert’s best shot at a championship is throwing an inning at Chavez Ravine.
