Concerning the Chargers. Was it a comeback by the Jags or a choke job by the Chargers?
FYI, The Atlanta debacle is considered a choke job by the Falcons.

Jags came back, no question. Our D was smoking hot 1st half, CB Davis went out and it was a new ballgame for Lawrence.
Meanwhile our offense was flat, used very little clock and gave Jax all the time they needed. See ya, Lombardi.

the great silver lining loss of that loss. the 2nd half exposed the biggest issues of our team - stagnant offense and a swiss cheese defense.

It’s been that way for years.

true, the stagnant offense and swiss cheese defense "resurfaced" would be a better description.

I was thinking more about the general playoff viewers, who do not know the chargers as well as we do. the general population thinks Herbert and the offense were rolling along all season. charger fans know the reality.

All we needed in 2nd half was take time off the clock. Running for no gain would probably have won it after our "swiss cheese D" .took the ball away repeatedly and set the O up on short fields for 27-0. 2nd half we were down to our #5 rookie CB vs top WRs and the O play calling got Lombardi fired..
Getting Moore is THE Silver Lining.

We did help them along a bit. 3rd and 1 foot in the first half failure resulted in 27-7 at half time instead of 27 or 30 to zip. Big momentum change right there.
Then there was the missed FG........don't get me started.

We didn’t gave anybody step up after Vato went down.

True that. 6B rookie draft pick, #5 CB JaSir Taylor has 4.3 speed, very little pro experience.
CBs were Mr Int (IR), Vato (inj), Asante, Callahan, Taylor, Leonard.

Jags came back, but also, our O didn't generate a whole lot of points...thanks mostly to Lombo...

Disagree with you on that - if you roll the 5-0 turnover ratio into the evaluation, is was a monumental collapse. Chargering on a whole new level.

The evaluation given by Kurt Warner essentially says it wasn't on Lambo. And we did take Chargering to a different level.
Getting 5 turnovers is difficult at best. But what's even more improbable is getting 5 turnovers and not turning the ball over
even once AND wait for the drum roll....................losing the game.
