Herbert totally outplayed Mahones. But the Chargers were the Chargers. They did just enough to lose. I fear what is coming. The Chargers finally put together a Super Bowl type team and injuries will destroy their year.
On the positive side the Chargers defense is much improved and Mike Williams actually justified his draft position.
I watched the whole game. Herbert threw a 99 yard pic 6. That’s a 10 pt turnover. Whenever Mahomes gets pressured he simply runs away and makes a play or dumps the ball. Ole Herbert stands in the pocket because he’s immobile and takes a hit or forces a bad throw. I watched the same thing for 4 years at Oregon. Sure, with no pressure and a WR with a step he has the arm to complete a pass. Any pressure and it’s a disaster. I could have told the Chargers they were in for another decade of sucking by drafting Herbert. You need a mobile QB. Look at SC with Williams this year from 4-8 to a top 5 team. All because of a mobile QB. Chargers now know this now, that’s why they keep drafting OL , but the guys they drafted suck. They were Swiss cheese last night against the Chiefs. If Chargers were smart they would trade Herbert now for a future pick or it’s gonna be a long ten years.
One thing the Chargers did was cover the wideouts pretty well and take away the deep ball. Chiefs did miss Hill this week for sure. Credit the Chargers defensive plan and db's for forcing the chiefs to take the short reads most of the night.
Sure. But it’s the same ole same ole. Another loss. No playoffs again. You would think with ten years straight of top ten picks you could put together a team that could get to the playoffs.
Odd hearing that. Because just a couple weeks ago someone said he was the greatest they’d ever seen. Forget who. But I think it was a guy who had ayer with Tom Brady. Maybe even Peyton. It was a shocking statement but the guy said he was serious
Gotta give a little credit to the chiefs there. 20 some straight points at one stretch. Did they get a little lucky? Yes, but they also made plays when they had to. Mahomes had a bad day and they still won. Reid had a weird day imho not his best.
The pick was the TE’s fault. He ran a sloppy route and jumped outside when Herbert clearly expected him to be where he threw it.
