Here's what Heyward said after the game,

That’s called trying to avoid a hefty fine

I don’t think AK is fond of Herbert. I think he is a Tua kind of guy when reading his posts.

Yes i gathered that lol. I didnt want Tua at all so im glad Miami picked him....and Tua has missed many games already in his career as he has been injury prone and a big reason i didnt want him.

He does process slow. But last night he ran when he was unsure. That made a difference. But he still missed some reads and locked on to Allen a lot. However, a better game overall.

May have been the best game a Charger QB has ever played

Winning play in crunch time and shout out to Ek who not only had 4 TDs but picked up the blitz on that play giving Herbert time to hit MW

I agree that’s why we need Ek on key downs. Kelley would have missed that. I think Ek was pissed for not converting the 4th down and gave him an extra juice.

I’m happy to see McKitty contributing last night.

Those blue and white Charger uniforms colors last night my new fave. Not a huge fan of last weeks orange and blue. They look dated.

Just stick with your Raiders, don't come in here with your hate the Chargers take, it's getting really old.

Don't let a little thing like the fact that nobody in the history of the NFL has ever done what he did last night get in the way of just how terrible he is.......

Raider fan AKFlyfisher's act was old, now its just getting stupid. Its like the guy does not realize everyone is laughing at him, not with him.

Yep! Saw that! Ekkie cut the blitzer's legs out from under him and totally upended him! Wow, Ekkie is a man of many talents--he runs, he scores, he catches and he blocks!

That is hyperbole. Look at past games and adjust for the modern game. That is like saying Devin Booker scoring 50 now is the equivalent of MJ doing it vs the Knicks in the late 80s.

It was a good game. Ill admit. But it was against a depleted defense and where he still was missing reads. If he can up his processing, I think he can be successful. Keep in mind, Rodgers put up 340 yards on the Vikings when Herbert struggled. Processing matters.

Also, I think people get too high and too low with each game. Consistency matters.

Wrong. I loathed Tua coming out. It was a one QB draft imho; ie Burrow and all the rest. Herbert has his moments, but is way behind Burrow on the mental side. We will see if he figures out the mental game. He didn't against the Vikings, Pats, or Ravens. He looked good against a depleted Steelers defense. We will see what next week brings.

That was a lame call, sending Ekkie up the gut on a 3rd and short against a stacked box...correct call should have been Herbie on the sneak, or Herbie fakes to Ekkie up the gut, and scrambles around the end for an easy 3-5 yards...
