Chargers at Jets MNF Game Day Thread / Post Game Reaction (Wk 9)

[sonorajim]

Sure doesn't seem like I watched the same game as some of the other posters did.

The reality is Herbert did enough to win and did not turn the ball over, a big deal against the Jets D. Josh Allen had 3 turnovers and his O scored 16 points in the Bills loss to the Jets. Jalen Hurts had 3 interceptions and the Eagles scored 14 points in their loss to the Jets. Mahomes had 2 interceptions and fumbled once in the Chiefs 23-20 win. The Chiefs won but Mahomes put up a 63 QB rating. The reality is we didn't turn it over and won going away.

W's are good Period.
I enjoyed winning with dominant D vs NYJ who were supposed to be the more dominant defense.
Not in this game.

although it was a win against a pretty darn bad O it was refreshing to see the D be so dominant. the Oline concerns me a lot the way they couldnt protect JH or open any holes. Cameron is so good and I think he is getting better. You can see the confidence in him and the confidence the coaches have in him. He's NAILING those 50+ yarders with plenty to spare. Those 55 yarders woulda been good from about 60. punter is inconsistent...seems his punts are higher than they are long. Need more plays for Darius Davis...some bubble screens for him with blockers ahead of him.
I will give credit for the W tonight but I wanna see this type of game against the Lions. I dont even care if it isnt as dominant so long as they play sound and win.

I thought we were cooked at 2-4; not confident for the long run but we have a chance. Detroit isn't as good as their record so we've got a shot

I’m sure the defense heard everything leading up to the game about how good the Jets defense plays. They went out and showed themselves to be just as good if not better. Their turnovers were huge

I’m not a Staley fan but at least he exudes positivity. Robert Saleh looked like a beaten dog for most of the game. He needs to improve his body language immensely. You can’t pass that message off to your team.

Saleah looked like he was being tied up and forced to watch Barbie.

Good one! Make me chuckle. I would probably self-combust if I had to watch Barbie.

To think some of us thought he was a reach in the 2nd.

If there were a re-draft now, where do you think Tuli would be selected? I'm thinking Top 15 - 20.

The Jets defense is for real.

Herbert did not play well, at all he but did enough to win. Wilson actually had better stats except he fumbled the ball away and Herb didn't.

Got to give most of the credit to the defense in this one.

Zach Wilson is a non factor but they held Breece Hall to 50 yards and a 3.1 YPC.

STs played well and Dicker the Kicker is an amazing pickup and has solidified our kicking game and I actually expect 3 points now when he lines up as opposed to being very negative in years past with our kicking game.

Moores playcalling wasn't that great either.

The Chargers lead the league in fumble recoveries with 9, I believe. They are also at the top or near the top in turnover ratio.

[sonorajim]

I've noticed that Herb rarely threw to his first two reads, which I took to mean that those receivers weren't open. After that, the pass rush was all over him.

Herbert was being careful about turnovers. The only way we were going to lose was if we helped them. Open vs Bears was not open vs Jets. The Jets D is fast and smart. We did OK. Our D (and DD) kicked their asses. Chargers O did enough.

[Boltjolt]

Gotta find a way to restructure and keep Mack, Bosa and Tuli will obviously be here.

We'll see. Still not sold on keeping Joey.
I mean sure he was great today but he has still missed too many games.

He is good when he is good to play but it isn't often enough for a 38 mil cap hit next year.

We'll see how the season plays out.

Yeah, I didn't know who he was and I didn't think much of the pick at all at the time. In a draft do-over, he's definitely a 1st round pick. The Raiders used the #7 overall pick on edge rusher Tyree Wilson but Tuli has been better.
