Chargers Vs Jaguars Post Game Discussion

[electricgold]

Have to admit Bosa lining up off sides has to go down in our history along with what the Safety did in the pats game! Bosa had a meltdown and had little impact on the game! Staley picking up his helmet twice and handing it to him was strange. The one thing about Staley is he sure knows how to take the fun out of football! He really is like Mike Mccoy on steroids, and he's like a used car salesman and I bet that's what got him hired when they interviewed him.

[Boltx]

He's proved by his tenure at Michigan that he can stay at a job a long time, he's about to be 60 and he seems like he's matured and it looks like he wants to take on the NFL now which he is better suited for. Everyone loved Marty, and he was a strong personality! Los Angeles would be a perfect city for him to be in and he would hire the GM, DC and OC that he would want to work with! After this game its time for the Chargers owners to turn to tried and proven great football mind people! It has to be either Harbaugh or Peyton! But I would go Harbaugh over Peyton because we don't need another short passing mind here! We need a Coach that will bring in a work horse RB and hire qualified assistants!

There probably won't be another offseason like this where a Harbaugh and Peyton is on the market. Next year once Staley pulls another Staley and is fired, knowing our past luck next season the market will probably be a bunch of OC and DC who are flavors of the month. TT has proven he doesn't know how to hire a HC so he needs to go. I just heard the game yesterday was the biggest comeback in NFL history! Can't continue with Staley based on this fact and so much more reasons.

Like 2013 when we missed out on Reid to hire McCoy.

Spanos, you want to be the Lakers of the NFL in LA? Then you absolutely need to hire the right football people.

next year we are stuck choosing between Frank Reich and Lovie Smith.

Make a bold fucking move - you got nothing to lose, the trophy case and your honor remain empty.

You know that blank stare you sometimes get when you tell someone for the first time your a Chargers fan?

I get it.

Bolts scored 30 and forced 5 turnovers

Jags scored 31 without the benefit of a single turnover

[QuiteFrankly]

Maybe not Bosa for Payton but maybe trade Bosa somehwere.
Bears would be the first team - but others have cap space
His decision to not take off his helmet on the sideline - like 10 feet away
Just do it on the sideline - knock over the bench, the water coolers, whatever - just not on the damn field

Bosa lost his cool. He was probably frustrated overall about not being in shape and able to play like himself. Junior Seau I recall jumped offsides many times. Bosa has made a few dumb plays but these guys are not geniuses. No way to let that guy go because of a few plays. The loss was not his fault it was a team loss IMO

A pass rusher other than QB is the most important thing to have.

Hello Boltfam. New to this website. I wanted to make an account to express this rage I felt today. I’ve been watching Chargers since 2007, this is by far the most embarrassing game Ive ever seen from this Organization. I hate to admit it as a grown man but I was so infuriated that I was close to crying. I’ve only cried once in sports and it was when I was a kid. This took a lot out of me. I think we all know what needs to happen next but I have no hope for the front office. I just hope that this lost will make the organization better from this point on. I still have faith. ⚡️

First off, welcome.

Second, congrats for jumping on board after 2006. At least you didn’t have to experience that nightmare ending. It’s one that still haunts my dreams. And the last time I had faith — true faith — in a Chargers team.

I just think we didn't make enough winning plays in the second half where everyone is performing their assignments doing it with the right technique with the right type of energy
-Brandon Staley

Again this HC has never once said I needed to do better in my coaching or I needed to be better, when they lose he always throws the team under the bus. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear the official announcement from the organization on what they are going to announce in regard to Staley! Is there any way they are going to say Staley will be back next year?

[Hadl2Alworth]

FWIW...This is going to sound weird but so be it. I kind of saw the final score except I saw 29-27, Jags in my mind a few hours before gametime. That happened a couple times after taking naps during the day. So I strongly suspected the Jags were going to come back from that 27-0 deficit. But I wasn't too upset about it - after they did - for some reason. hmm. I'm still not all that upset. It's a real blessing to be so non-reactive for me. There's more to life than a football game I suppose.

The jags in the 2nd half were blitzing a lot more and Herbert was getting pressured and sacked, unlike the first half. Yet we had no adjustment or answer for that. None at all. I thought the big plan this time was to use Ekeler catching balls out of the backfield. We just did not seem to have an answer for their blitzing. I would submit lack of a running game. Or maybe that just falls back to our OL. No blocking. dunno

if we somehow got Harbaugh that would be franchise changing, but I have heard no rumors at all in the regard...so probably a pipe dream.

the lack of second half adjustments all year - thats why the third quarters are so bad

The Jags went to uptempo on offense, shorter passes - chargers missed a lot of tackles

on defense, they pressured more and Lombo and /or Staley didn't adjust pass protection

Staley is a defensive guru, supposedly, and he couldn't get one stop after the botched end around sweep. NOT ONE. Thats all they needed - maybe force a FG attempt

[Boltinloudguy]

If the Spanos family wants a fanbase, they have to fire Staley and Lombardi. The only 2 coaches this team should be keeping are Ficken and Jay Rodgers.

If they can get Harbaugh, see if he can sway Fangio his way. A bit of a reunion some will say. If Fangio is a no go, I think you give Jay Rodgers a shot at DC. He knows the system and is a no nonsense type coach.

I think with some of these contracts you might look into making some trades. I think trying to trade Bosa is a great idea. An unpopular one some might say is Allen. I know he’s still playing really well, but that means you can probably get the most for him now after the finish to his season. For Bosa I’d be happy with an early 2nd and a 4th. Allen maybe shoot for a 2nd. But out of respect to Allen, I’d try to trade him to a contender, maybe SF or NYG.

Next moves would be to release players and restructure. I would release Feiler and restructure Linsley.

now resign players like Tranquill, Callahan, Fox, Pipkins and Herbert to long term deals.

All these moves that can be made, and Harbaugh would have money for free agency and more draft capital to build this team.

There is some talent and good depth available on the market and they need that at WR, Edge, LBer and Dline.

I don’t know, but does all this seem impossible to do or unrealistic?



And as far as all these balls being batted and bouncing off helmets. To me, that is straight up on coaching not getting after him about standing taller in the pocket and working on release point. So who does that land on, Shane Day and Lombardi.

And who's fault was it that Bandy was in the game at that point to botch the end around? Mike Williams should of at best played a few series but the HC wanted to have his starters in! If the Giants beat the Vikings today it will be more salt on the wound.

Calling a play where Bandy does an end a round on a 3rd and short is grounds alone to fire the whole staff.
