Brandon staley goes to the 49ners and the their defense looked awful. Telesco goes to the raiders, they win 4 games and he gets fired after 1 season. The fact that we dealt with telesco for 11 years just speaks volumes to the disadvantages we had as an organization
I don’t think telesco was bad honestly, we got Herbert, James, Keenan, Mike, Melvin Jr, Bosa. The coaching was always terrible though. As a bolt fan myself I think he got a bad wrap at the raiders.
@garrettcunningham9671 in my opinion telesco was a terrible drafter. Herbert was best qb available when we got him at #6. Bosa was 3rd over selection in his draft, m. Williams was the 7th overall draft pick, derwin fell to 17 and we should have never been able to get him but we got lucky, Melvin gordan was a top 10 all time running back in college and we needed to replace ryan matthews. Keenan was a third round steal (I'll give him credit for that one). We constantly had high draft picks because our team was bad a lot. Telesco was 50/50 with draft picks in the 1st and 2nd round. And when you're drafting in the top 10 you have a pretty good chance of getting a solid player. Any gm can pick generational players when theyre picking in the top 10. The 3rd round and on.......telesco was absolutely terrible. And he really sucked at drafting offensive lineman and defensive tackles. That's why we never had good depth, he couldn't draft serviceable late round picks. Maybe one or two every few years would be OK, but majority of the time, they were bad. Never made in season trades, rarely went after free agents, he would never make adjustments mid season when we had glaring needs. He sucked, good riddens
I hope everyone is safe from the wildfires. I am looking forward to Zeke coming to the Chargers. Although he is on the downhill side of his career, place him with Dobbins in short yardage red zone attempts - they will certainly give the opposing defenses something to think about. Zeke should be good for a couple of points which could be important. Remember, except for the Buccaneers blowout - the Chargers were very close in all their defeats.
Tuli takes over for bosa next year. MASSIVE cap savings and tuli has produced more. Not injured like bosa. I love bosa but he has to go unless he comes back at a VERY reasonable price tag.
Andy Bernard: “I wish there was a way to know you were in the good ole days while you were still actually in them.” The Director: “We’re in the good ole days.”
Im making the trip to see the new era's first playoff win. Im stoked ⚡️ got off work plumbing all day in Austin and was hoping the ride home I could listen to some director 💯
This is the only matchup where we aren't the underdogs. No home field advantage, but this game its going to be an uphill battle getting to the Super Bowl. We will mist likely have to beat the Ravens or Bills and the Chiefs if we want to get to the biggest stage. I am doubtful we will get past the "Big 3" in the AFC but we are trending upwards. Win or lose this is going to be a great experience for our Chargers and I feel like we will be making a regular return to the playoffs for the next few years.
I grew up a San Diego fan when we had LT, Rivers, and gates. I was like 8. I remember losing to the jets and being so sad. It’s almost like that game cursed us. This year is the first year the bolts exceeded my expectations. I’ve grown accustomed to mediocre seasons. But this year is different, we’re built for any situation. We ain’t running from nobody. I think we’re gunna shake things up more than people think. Let’s go bolts!
True we did well against Denver at avoiding many sacks, on the other hand, against Atlanta (team with fewest sacks) we gave them a season high100 sacks (or so it felt).
I’ve been recovering from being sick, but I sent my son to Houston to spend weekend with my brother his uncle and enjoy the chargers vs Texans! Excited for my son he’s hyped!
Hoping Palmer can play on Saturday, would be helpful to have our top 3 WR against this tough Texans secondary. Don’t underestimate that unit, but regardless if he plays or not the run game has to be effective so that we can have Herb keep his hot streak going with PA. Hopeful that Herb and Mack get their first playoff win⚡️ the fan base needs at least one playoff win
Palmer is out with a foot injury, QJ is questionable. We damn sure need him. Semi looks like he'll be playing. They cut McFadden, of all things!! They didn't say why though. TEXAN'S offense has been struggling Big time the last 4 games, so that's great! Cj not thrown more than 200 yds the last 4 games. Running game is way off too!
Feels exciting, but because of the history (Fan since 1977), I still have a "I'll believe it when I see it." approach. Been heartbroken way too often almost 50 years now. We've had great players and even great coaches, but something, a bad call, a bad bounce and we back to "well, maybe next year." So, holding my breath and following all my superstitions. I will be routing as hard as I possibly can, not wanting to be a downer, just been conditioned to be let down.
I hear ya , fan since 1979 here, a lot of let down over the years. Let's hope this next couple years are different. I never liked Harbaugh as a QB, but he does seem to be a good coach. I feel the best since Marty. Let go Chargers⚡⚡⚡
@@vicvaldez9323 I wasn't a fan of Harbaugh as a QB. Thought he was alright and better than what he had before him. He was no Dan Fouts certainly. What I find interesting is a former QB who prefers a run game *shrug*. ;P
i really hope the guys can get the fire situation going on in LA out of their minds, i live in the middle of the san Fernando valley and I'm stressing about it.
GOOD MORNING DIRECTOR, IT'S ME TIMOTHY FROM VISTA CA. I hope the Chargers gives their new running back Ezekiel Elliot #24 into the game to help protect the Chargers QB and get him into the running game world be great 👍.
Director, I generally do not agree with your characterizations that Herbert gets "hot" or "cold". IMO, he nearly always balls out, and whenever "cold" spots happen it is due to injuries around him (WRs, Oline, etc), or he's the one injured bad but still playing, or the play calling is pedestrian. No matter how "Hot" Herbert plays, he can't single handedly elevate frozen play around him.
Director where is Asante Samuel was he just not a good fit in the scheme or what’s going on with my boy he’s a ball hawk I liked his play style he was a lil aggressive but he’s good I think.
director can you make a slight tweak to the thumbnail please. its bothering me how the “W” in “wild card” is behind herbert while the other letters are in front
I’ve seen a lot of people online really overlooking the Texans. However, I think that is the last thing that Harbaugh and the players are doing. I think they’ve learned their lesson from their last postseason game experience and they’re out for vengeance, especially Justin. I think that a game between two elite defenses surprisingly comes down to the offenses and more specifically 4th quarter situational football, and I’m trusting Justin and Jim more in that situation. Chargers 27-21 ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Someone stated in a previous post that he is doing a movie or something that has to do with acting since that's his side gig. Nonetheless hope he is doing well
I think the Chargers destroy the Texans this week. I can’t tell you how many games they’ve been on tv and it’s so tough to watch them this year. The offense is sluggish and Stroud/Dell definitely weren’t the same this year. I think the Chargers shut down Mixon, Ladd has a huge day, Chargers win 27-17.
We can beat the Texans. And we can beat the chiefs after that. We would probably lose at the AFC championship against either the ravens or the bills. But if we even make it to the AFC championship then watch out because next year are going to win the Super Bowl.
Fresh news, QJ good to go, Slater good to go! Let’s put Salyer at RG and run it down their throats and make every rush a 4 man stunt and have Derwin come off the backside in 3rd and short
Keys too victory on Offense don’t let Anderson Hunter an Stingley wreck the game an take care of football which they been great at all year On Defense The pass rush get in Stroud face an create havoc don’t let Nico Collins go off don’t let Joe Mixon run wild if that happens our Bolts win ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Win or lose, we won this year! Lets appreciate where we are, know where we are going, and work hard for each other!⚡️⚡️⚡️ Bolt up! Cheer hard! Have fun!⚡️⚡️⚡️
Director, me and my dad decided to fly out to Houston and cheer on the bolts live! Can’t wait to witness Justin Herbert’s first playoff win in person!
Hey I used to listen in Houston idk if you like seafood but lotus seafood is a MUST TRY
BTFU!!! Support the hell out of us over there!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Bosa is gonna have to play his best game of the year. We need him big time
Best game of his career. He hasn’t had many good ones in while.
We gonna need everyone,Big Time!!!
I guarantee you Bosa got this
Actually we need Mack to eat this game...Bosa gonna have to deal with Tunsil
He can do his best by giving all of his reps to tuli, Mack, and Dupree

I personally believe we're set up to make a run to the afc championship! We CAN beat the chiefs with our coaching staff
Image the Philip Rivers era with Jim Harbaugh running the team
Have not thought of this that would have been wild
Under Harbor Rivers would have won two and three Super Bowls
@@ThomasBiondo-sierra2 or dan
Philip Rivers reminds me of a young Jim Harbaugh
Rivers had LT and Neal in thier prime and couldn't get the job done. I think I am quite happy with Herbert. Justin will get us to the Trophy.
Tuli takes over for bosa next year. MASSIVE cap savings and tuli has produced more. Not injured like bosa. I love bosa but he has to go unless he comes back at a VERY reasonable price tag.

Does anyone have any information about Asante Samuel Jr. I’m dying over here
It seems like everyone forgot about him. I can't find news anywhere about him.

According to Harbaugh he isn't medically ready to return. He may be done playing for the Chargers since he is a free agent in 2025.
