2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[sonorajim]

All the Chargers team, players & coaches made mistakes. We lost. End of season, period.

What I took from 2021 & especially the raiders game: Herbert is the gold standard. An Elite young QB.
Can't wait to see the '22 campaign.

just think about this for a second: we could be the Colts, with Wentz to look forward to....

So you took from 2021 the same thing you took from 2020? Isn’t the fact that there was nothing else to take at least somewhat concerning?

I didn't see anything in his post that said there's nothing else. I just read it as a complement to our QB.

I feel this too. That is why I'm really disappointed in the defense. Herbert was epic bringing the team back to tie at the end of regulation. When the Raiders scored a FG in overtime, Herbert again drove the offense down the field to put Hopkins in position to tie it. Then all the defense had to do was make a stop, they knew the Raiders were going to run the ball, all the defense had to do was not get beat by the run. But the defense failed, and all of Herbert's heroics and hard work was for nothing. I feel badly for the kid this morning.

I was at the game with three friends. One of my friends (who is a Cowboys fan but was pulling for us) kept looking at me on the final drive and asking (almost challenging me), "Do you believe they're gonna do it?!? Is Herbert gonna do it?!?"

I kept saying yes. But the more I said yes, the more I believed it.

I love Philip Rivers. I hope to be in Canton when he's inducted. For a decade and a half, Rivers was our guy. But I knew he had his flaws. After last night (and frankly even before last night), I believe in Justin Herbert more than I ever did Philip Rivers. And that's not any sort of indictment on Rivers. I will always have a special place in my heart for that guy.

It was a painful loss...probably the worst loss since losing at home to the Jets in January 2010 after a 13-3 season. But the future is bright. We've got Herbert, and I genuinely believe that he is going to get even better.

I believe.

Belichick once went for it on his own 28 yard line against Indy and failed near the end of a game.....they lost.

He never repeated that mistake.

Staley keeps on blabbing about analytics driven decisions......he'll never learn with that mindset.
Coming up with exact percentages on the success and winning percentage of any given play in the 3rd quarter is absurd...monumentally absurd.
Success leaves you with the ball on the 20 yard line...
what's been gained with success?

He needs to rethink that aspect of his coaching.

Yep...one of my biggest disappointments with Staley...if he can't correct these bonehead blunders, after next season he should be fired...and I'll start up the poll...

Justin Herbert 38TDs 15Ints
6-0 when he had 0int
3-4 when he had 1int
0-4 when he had 2int

Teams needs some upgrades on defense and right side of O-line. But 15ints is a bit too high 27th in the league. Herbert needs to find a way to keep his total interceptions at 10 or less. He is very capable of getting that done next year.

Front office needs to add a CB1 and RT.

The 15 interceptions are kind of skewed by the number of pass attempts. If you look at the percentage of passes intercepted, he is 15th at 2.2%. Someone posted an article a few weeks ago where he had the lowest turnover worthy number of passes in the league, IIRC.

In 2 seasons, he has passed for 9350 yards with 69 TDs and 25 interceptions to go along with 8 rushing TDs. I don't think we could possibly expect anything better from a second year QB - and he will only get better!

I agree. He's been amazing.
I still think he needs to find a way. Meaning watch all 15 interception. Talk to teammates and coaches and say how do we eliminate some of these which I think he is likely to do. I think he is fully capable of making it happen.

Those are the top two needs on my list. Should be doable.
