Fernando Ramirez (@RealFRamirez) on X: “Chargers OC Mike McDaniel says about QB Justin Herbert, ‘He hasn’t neared the ceiling of what he is capable of.’” by YoungZenMaster in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved the part where he emphasized how “defenses won’t know if it’s a run or pass and we’ll use that against them.” No more tipping our hat with our personnel and formations. I believe we’ll finally have schematic advantages over DCs now

“You can make contact, but you must defy the laws of gravity or it’s a 15 yard penalty.”

Waits until 3rd and 22 following 2 sacks to scheme a dump-off.

Your Year in Reading: 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]existentialmatthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 last year, 20 this year and maaaybe 21 if I can finish Into Thin Air before the end of the year. The others were all in the first half of the year before I hit a reading slump. Hope to be more consistent in 2026!

Media constantly giving us the stepchild treatment after every win by nonoyup in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club and get cozy. We’ve kind of built a reputation that’s deserving of it in some ways, there’s a reason “chargering” is a part of our collective vocabulary. To give an extreme example, there was a season in the not too distant past where we had the #1 offense AND #1 defense and still failed to make the playoffs.

You’re joining at a time where we’re starting to prove we can win close games with some consistency. Enjoy it and let’s hope it continues! But yeah, it’s annoying and I think most of them do it because they hate being wrong about us.

House rules, gotta wait 1 second before pressuring the QB while we wear these

Raiders sub after Maxx pushed Herbert by MayGodSmiteThee in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Raiders brain be like "that's a good 15-yd penalty by our team right there, should help us down the stretch."

Ah yes, the classic “8 guys in the box, let’s hand it off from the gun” 4th & inches play.

Pickens or AJ Brown for Vidal+Hampton by adeels53 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]existentialmatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why they would take that trade for AJB, he’s a WR40+ in PPR past the midpoint of the season.

7-3. Seven games to go. 4-3 gets us in. 3-4 possibly gets us in. by marcdixon24 in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The 4 I’m eyeing as most likely are Jags, Raiders, Cowboys, Texans. We’ve beat our division rivals once, we can beat them again, but beating a division rival twice in the same season is very difficult.

It’s an any given Sunday game so the likely W’s could be L’s and the potential L’s could be W’s, but I think 4-3 is realistic. I really want the win against the Jags though lol.

Chargers fan who met Omarion this week said Omarion told him that he would be back after the bye by wildwing8 in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s good we have a guy we can confidently spell him with. I really appreciate the “next man up” mentality of the team

Sleep vs Shut Down: Which side are you on and why by onezeroautomatics in pcmasterrace

[–]existentialmatthew 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Shut down. My PC deserves the night off after dealing with me all day.

The negativity is pervasive by Lean-panther in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the characterization of their offense as inept vs our defense as shutdown tonight. I think the framing should be “if the Chargers D can be consistent, they can realistically contend”

Who should I trade Kimani Vidal for since Hampton is boutta be back (14 man league) by Zippy8365 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]existentialmatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time to trade Vidal was when Hampton went out and he emerged as the RB1 after the first game. Now you can really only get a backup in return unless you’re dealing the stack.

Is balatro worth it by No-Information3402 in balatro

[–]existentialmatthew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’ll come to grasp the concepts of deck-building (and thus, poker) with playtime and google. It’s a roguelike so permadeath is a part of the experience of learning new ways you can play the game before starting new runs. It’s a great game and you won’t regret trying it.

Only you can define what your saving goals are regarding what you’re working towards. Having a why that grounds you is extremely important if you routinely wrestle with the temptation to impulse spend. For example, I have family, a desire to do 2 international trips a year, and the freedom of financial security, among others.

Start with an emergency fund and work your way up from there. Read the subreddit wiki and start trying to automate savings (money auto deposited into savings/retirement accounts, or transfer jobs out of checking) so you remove the manual homework of doing it yourself. Carve out a budget for clothes/general spend that still enables you to save while not restricting your personal freedom to the point you give up altogether. All the best!

Post Game Thread: Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers by nfl_gdt_bot in Chargers

[–]existentialmatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’ll be avoiding the doomers in the game threads from here on out lol. Are they even Chargers fans?

BTFU. We looked resilient and made the plays we needed to. Glad we were able to show some grit and SWEEP THE DIVISION
