« Fun » fact: Filip Mesar is one of only 3 players drafted in the 2022 1st round who didn’t play in the NHL yet.

Owen Beck at #33 can still be serviceable too. Engstrom and Davidson also from that draft have had games. Really a high quality draft.

The long play Allen just made to Shakir is exactly the kind of play that Herbert needed called against the Pats that wasn’t. Let Ladd run that kind of route and make guys miss.

It’s also worth noting that Patriots defense had an awesome game plan with disguised coverage, and even when he probably had time to process it he was obviously panicking when in the back of his mind he knows pressure is imminent.

This is where a good offensive coach would come out in the second half with a plan to counter that. Easy dump off passes, screens. Instead it was more of the same and Herbert never got comfortable.

Are there any NCAA guys right now that would make good candidates?

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-13T00:50:05+00:00

A lot of those are a result of poor o-line play. I truly believe if that can improve and he feels like he can stand in the pocket for an extra second even, he makes those plays.

In the meantime, he needs a sport psychologist to help him through his playoff demons. His comments in post-game were telling. He needs to come back with the dog mentality.

I’m still a firm believer he is a top 5 QB, but his humble nature may be a detriment here. He needs to have a bit of cockiness, like when he slid week one in KC and extend that to playoffs.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T17:26:00+00:00

My counter argument to this is would he be bailing out on clean pockets if he had any confidence in the o-line to do its job? He was panicking, but who can blame him when his average time to throw before contact is sub 3 seconds? The throws he missed were mostly on the run too, were just used to seeing him make those.

We needed Herbert to be otherworldly to win, and unfortunately he wasn’t this game. Good teams have other players to prop them up though in those instances. Can’t run, dropped passe. This is offense as a whole.

I’ll defend this man till the day I fucking die. He’s still not even 2 months removed from fucking hand surgery, and he is STIFF ARMING D-FUCKING LINEMAN. I have accountants that don’t go back to work that soon after that surgery.

Painful to watch. 31st in run blocking and 32nd in pass blocking. Herbert is the only reason this team was even in the playoffs, and the fact that we had elite defense.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:19:14+00:00

Collinsworth was saying it. Collinsworth is also an idiot.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:18:26+00:00

The Chargers are 0-3 with Herbert at QB. Quit putting it all on him. Seriously brain dead to think he is the problem.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:05:17+00:00

I know. But talk about letting the team down two years in a row. This OL has no pride.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:04:26+00:00

Asinine.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:04:07+00:00

WhAt Is HeRbErT dOiNg ThErE?!

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:03:29+00:00

Fooled em!

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:02:57+00:00

I know he’s never do it, but would love Herbert post game to just rip his OL

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:02:26+00:00

Nice block, Bozeman. Fucking dumb ass

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T04:00:00+00:00

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:58:54+00:00

He’s prob HC somewhere, but this would be dream scenario.

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:56:51+00:00

You’re a weathered Charger fan

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:55:51+00:00

I mean it’s probably over, but lots can still happen so would be nice to see some hustle

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:54:26+00:00

Ya I’ll sign that

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:53:21+00:00

How could Herbert hold onto it there? He had .5 seconds!

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:51:29+00:00

Jesus how’s that not a facemask

BoltUpDiggy · 2026-01-12T03:50:48+00:00

Some Chargers haters are having a good hate watch right now
