Chargers @ Raiders Game Day Thread | Post Game Reaction (Wk 13)

[QSmokey]

When can we officially stick a fork in this season?

Three weeks ago.

[Florida fan]

Chargers won’t be healthy until we are out of PO contention.

I'll take the dark days with Herbert over the darker days without him.

I mean, we did it with Rivers right? Why can’t we build around our great QB’s. Fouts (no defense), Rivers (same) and now Herbert

[Hadl2Alworth]

I don't know what will happen - I know what needs to happen. I'm not holding my breath or losing any sleep over it either way

Yeah, me too. But I do feel bad for Herbert. Such a good guy that is so easy to root for. It would be great seeing him on a winner...anywhere. And with a team that won't get him killed.

[Charge!]

Payton is under Saints control for 2 more years.
Chargers would have to trade draft picks to add him..
Not happening.

true..... but real reason Spanos will never hire a real coach..... is $$$$$........ players salaries are paid for with required Cap money.... coaches salaries come out of profits outside of cap..... so that is why they hire the cheapest GM and coaches they can find and they have to be nice soft yes men...... or they wont be hired..... Spanos will never pay a real coach or give a real coach full control, like Payton would require.....

wu's patented orange alert truth bombs:

With 14:44 left in the game
TPB decided LAC was eliminated from the playoffs.
The game was decided on the final play.
Tua was doubled up on the scoreboard
By a quarterback named "Purdy."
If we beat MIA next week
We will be one game behind MIA,
With the tiebreaker.
Proud to be a Pollyanna from Muskogee...

There are many possibilities. But given the circumstances, most of those possibilities are not probabilities.

Its one thing to get upset after a loss like this, but to go from pissed to stupid is uncalled for. We don't need to trade Allen or Herbert. Come back off the ledge, put it in reverse and back away from stupid.

^^^ he speaks truths.

the only things that need to change next year is ownership, GM, coaches

Chargers won’t be healthy until we are out of PO contention.

The running joke in the league is the Chargers are the most dangerous team in the NFL after we get eliminated from the playoffs

[SDBORN]

That's not the point.The point is if this SpAnus owned shitshow can't make the playoffs with Herbert we will never,Never win a trophy or hell be a perennial PO team with these owners.If they don't put a man in charge that actually knows football instead of Dean's ugly ass, ratfaced, undersized lil puke of a kid why stay a fan?Fool me once shame on you.............

We are pretty much saying the same thing.

I said it earlier this season - if they can't make playoffs 3 years in a row with Herbert, I fear he leaves unless a major shift towards winning staff culture is brought in.

How about they try something different for a change with Herbert still at the helm and see if it works.
Will they hire proven staff? Who knows but is it possible? Sure, it still is.

I'm not holding my breath either way even though I would love to see it happen

We were healthy week one but still played horrible on defense and struggled to barely beat a bad raiders team.... we should have lost that game too....

[victoriaboltfan]

Staley will be back next year,can't really tell how good this team may be with the amount of injuries they've had.Payton is a pipe dream and this team can't afford to give up any draft picks.Staley needs to get Fangio as his dc so he can focus on being a head coach.Telesco in my opinion is the guy who needs to go !!!

[SDBORN]

So it helped the Chargers? I do not see your point.

Maybe I misread your post. All I'm saying is people put too much emphasis on the 1 missed flag. The game was about lot more than just that.
