Chargers at Texans Game Day Thread (Wild Card Round) | Post Game Discussion

There is a 0.00001% chance this happens due to cap but if somehow it became a Madden game it would be funny to see what we could get for Herbert it has to be like 3 firsts probably more, Stafford brought two. Then you trade for JJ Mcarthy and get Jeanty and a bunch of help. It COULD work out but if it doesn’t it would be a huge whiff of historic proportions.

Harbaugh loves Herbert too much imho, but there is a reality where something like this is going to occur lol

If the roster is significantly improved next year and Herbert has another similar performance or misses the playoffs entirely - you need to pick up the phone and at least start talking to other GMs.

Coaching lost this game. Two special teams fuck ups? Dicker not knowing what to do with a blocked kick? Can’t stop their O or D? We will be better.

[Budsman]

Ok based on what I’m reading a trade of Herbert isn’t crazy cap wise. We lose 12 million but if we can get a haul for him and still get JJ Mcarthy it’s out of the realm of bat shit crazy and more into the realm of cray cray. 🤪

We caught a break this year that the AFC had like 5 good teams and then the rest was mediocrity. Harbaugh was able to take advantage of that and he delivered.
First order of business in the spring should be to sign a top notch receiver. Maybe we can find a team to take QJ for a 5th or 6th round pick. QJ, to me, has proven he is never going to be a number 1 receiver. Chark was a non eventful signing.

I still like Herbie, i am not one saying trade him or anything rash like that, but i am done making excuses for him and cant really question the pundits who wont include him in their top QB group either.

I mean, he's not even on the same planet as guys like Allen, Mahomes, Lamar, Burrow right now.

Maybe he can have a bit of a resurgence like Goff did when surrounded by more talent (minus getting traded of course).

I dunno, it just feels like a gut punch after the way he had played all year and especially the final month of the season. Was it just a one time bad game, or now a pattern of poor playoff performance?

Just doesn't leave you with a great feeling going into year freaking 6...

We must now recognize that the Bosa/Mack combo never got us there.

And they are damned expensive.

We could not run today...what was that ?

Blow up this IOL...use one of them MOABs.

Can we expect Poona/Tart to resign and repeat ?

I KNOW we need weapons.

But give me trenches !!

They definitely need to get younger and faster on the edges. They look like they are plodding through mud when they run.

QJ reminds me of Mike Williams never a number 1 receiver but can excel if he’s the number 2. He’s never going to be the guy but as a number two as the 3rd or 4th option he could be serviceable.

When you blame 1 person (Herbert) and him alone you are in fact giving everyone else a free pass. No Herbert did not have a good game but the ball watchers will not see anything other than the QB.

Who is blaming only Herbert? I could throttle Will Dissly right now. Those 2 drops were agregious and directly caused an 11 point swing and huge loss of opportunity. The line was a sieve.

But are you ok with your 275 million franchise QB being 14/32 , a 40 QB rating and more picks in the playoff game than he had all season? On the biggest stage he played thw worst game I can ever recall. Not good enough 5 years in.

And if you want to be included with the elite top 4, the first that must go is all the excuses

From what I hear, Ole Miss was happy that Judkins left. Not the best team guy. Now Henderson on the other hand, game changer IMO. Right now I am torn between them drafting either of the TEs or OG/OT Savaiinaea. Then sign C Ryan Kelly and draft C McGlaughlin in the 6th.

Just wait and see what they do in FAncy it will help guide you and the rest of us.

[QuiteFrankly]

Herbert is not into the Harbaugh pre-game shoulder pad-helmet thing. He looks like a cat with a mouse in his mouth or someone who crapped his pants...something....mojo killer.

[Budsman]

Not going to argue the point that Herbert had a horrible game because he did. The Chargers ran into a buzzsaw tonight. Stroud had a running game. The Chargers not so much.

And time to throw, a critical element to a good passing offense.

Would love to hear about Herbert working out this offseason with Brady, Rivers, WHOEVER. Something different. Maybe he needs to go to Gruden's QB camp again.
