Chargers vs Falcons Game Recap & Reactions | Defense Dominates, Ladd McConkey Shines in “Ugly” Win

[@Angi_Ybarra99]

8-4. I’m happy about that I was frustrated with this win at first but after thinking about it I saw it differently…. We went cross country, on a short week and to the Falcons house after they had a bi-week and took that win. It was ugly for sure, and I wished J10 had more weapons, but with all that said I’m happy with this win…any other year it would’ve been a loss.

[@stephensullivan1011]

Were we not already there for the Monday night game in Baltimore? Still, almost harder to do a 2 week road trip. 💁‍♂️

[@Azula_7]

Sometimes it feels like we’re the only fan base that complains after a win. Cmon guys, it’s only year 1 with Harbaugh! We’re winning games we would have lost years prior!. I’d say we’re doing solid with the situation that hortiz and these coaches were put in. Our draft picks are solid and next year, we’ll have money to spend that we didn’t have this year. We’ll be okay guys.

[@HH4-th6gu]

The offense is absolutely horrible 💯

[@Angi_Ybarra99]

@@HH4-th6gu agreed

[@Azula_7]

@@HH4-th6gu you can say what you want, we’re still winning games. I would rather our offense look horrible and win games than look like last year. Offense balling out and we still losing.

[@Marcus419OO]

Here’s the deal, you can be a playoff team but there is only one winner every season. You will not convince me that our offense is superbowl caliber in any universe. We might be a decent team but if you aren’t going to contend for a Super Bowl seriously we can celebrate the wins but not be so ridiculous in thinking we have a chance. No SB team EVER had a below average offense. We will not win it all. “Winning season” means over .500 but truly there is 31 losers and 1 winner. I can still get excited but be realistic in voicing concern about the team. We have folded against good teams and it will be a miracle to beat the refs and the Chiefs this week.

[@Azula_7]

@ i can understand that and i feel the same. But my gripe is all i ever hear from most fans is bitching about the negative stuff. I agree our offense bellow average. But under the circumstances of what we had to give up to make this season work, I’m excited that more than likely we’re a play off team and we’re winning games we would of chargered in the past. Feels great to not live with hype we gonna at half time and depression at the end of the game lol.

[@jameswagner2116]

BOLT UP, GREAT SHOW AGAIN, and yes you are among the absolute best in the BIZZZ....I admire your open dialog for FANS, I honestly don't know how you guys seriously stomach the vomit that I heard from some of them...I BOAST all the time about the HIGH CLASS FAN BASE we have....but these calls have got to be the RARE OCCASIONAL SIMPLE MINDS...MUCH RESPECT for you two, I COULD NOT LOL...GOD BLESS YOU GUYS AND LET'S RIDE BOLT NATION...!!!

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Jesse Minter is fantastic at making in game adjustments.

[@JLM_79]

If the Charger's have this same success with the 2025 draft as the 2024, I can only imagine. I have a feeling they will be drafting TE and alot of interior OL and DL. Maybe use FA to get a number 1 WR, also bring back Keenan Allen to retire here. He said he would come back.

[@BoltBrethren]

Our fanbase is so used to “Herbert saves the day” that they don’t know how to react to team wins 😂

[@ButtersID]

yeah, i'm not a fan of the "we're in rebuild mode this season" or "our superbowl chances are next years" - we're 8-4 and have achance at the playoffs THIS year. We don't know what awaits us next season or the seasons after. Who knows, week 5 of next year, herbert can go down with a season ending injury and that ruins next years. What about the year after that? the team gets decimated with injuries. Sometimes people need to focus on the present. Even if they don't go far, making the playoffs now is an opportunity worth celebrating.

[@BillBrasky5351]

I trust Harbaugh over you.

[@ButtersID]

​@BillBrasky5351 - that was completely unrelated to my comment. you must be a new chargers fan 😂

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

For anyone who didn't watch Harbaugh's Monday press conference he basically intimated that DJ Chark missing weeks of practice while injured has put him behind everyone else and that is the reason he hasn't been getting much playing time.

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Thanks for not mentioning the fake punt!😂😂

OK, Dan Jake my voice I have sent two voicemail Sunday bold prediction, and draft question for Jake. Love you cannot wait.

[@jonsand3102]

Happy players want to come back next year

[@Hi_Its_Chris]

I think the real frustration is that the offense can’t get anything going in spite of Herbert playing objectively excellent football. There also seems to be a lack of progress with IOL and WR performance.

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Your callers are making me feel not as nuts!😂😂😂

[@BootLegger-im7kd]

Slow your roll you are not well

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Cam Hart had shoulder injuries in college and that will likely be an issue moving forward.I'm very familiar with shoulder issues. Having my 5th surgery on Thursday.

[@kevincurnick]

Voicemails were crazzzy 😂😂🤡⚡

[@realitycheck2482]

Tyler from GAC had an insane take after the game where he said he felt “better about the ravens loss than this falcons win”. Absolute nonsense 😂 Expecting better from the offense is fine but to say we can’t win games in the future this way when we’ve won several games this season with the defense carrying us and keeping us in games we lost is bananas. Not every game is the offense gonna play that poorly and not every game the defense is going to play that well. We are finding ways to win as opposed to the past 20 years where we found ways to lose. Call it what you call it but cliche as it is a W is a W. 🤷‍♂️⚡️💪⚡️

[@jonsand3102]

The interior line has been the biggest problem all year long, there are not all pro linemen running around out there or any they can trade for before the deadline, Hortiz and Harbaugh can only change that in the Draft, they know how to draft, next year is going to be a bad ass team when they make the changes, they will look more like Detroit, have faith.

[@Squeezy-85]

Again, why are we surprised this team’s won 8 out of 12? This team NEVERRRRR lacked the talent. This team lacked the coaching and front office. It’s that simple. Why are we so shocked?

[@robertd.7060]

I said, at the start of the season . " Jim was worth at least 3 to 5 MORE wins then Staley was worth in a given season .

[@ericborchers9447]

Love your podcast! I’m dumbfounded at our offense. We looked unstoppable the first half of the Bengals game and since then, we haven’t even been average. I can’t decide if this is a G-Ro issue or WRs, other than McConkey aren’t doing their job. Did you see how pissed McConkey was at QJ for missing that screen block? Love to get your take?

[@enemy805]

Where 8-4 with a rebuild very happy about that. I want to see us make a mark in playoffs and have all tms fear us in 2025

[@aircoryell6472]

It’s been pretty evident for weeks that once the offense is off the script it’s been lock in on Ladd or complete trash. Palmer can’t separate and QJ can’t locate/fight for a ball if it was stuck in his facemask. Now, compounded by JK All Day gone for at least four weeks. I was high on Kimani and he’s showed flashes so we’ll see. Def think we should still get into playoffs but we gotta get the 5 or 6 seed!

[@ByTheWillOfCromYouTube]

I'm still extremely concerned about the interior O-line. They are so bad that even a great running back could not be effective.

[@MbroAllStarz]

Preach Dan 😂

[@alanteague2799]

Faith is not my problem. I just think Herbert should be making his recievers look better than what they are. Obviously, Ladd is not in that pool of recievers. That is on the game planning and the O.C. is not the last word there. Having said that....I would NOT want a different head coach. Let's do better on offensive planning and execution, please. The defensive game has not a problem. And yes, as far as the front office and coaching...heads and shoulders above the last ten years.

[@dimmer52]

Why u guys keep blaming Justin when no one can get open except Ladd 😂

[@robertd.7060]

This offense DID get down to the 30 to 25 yard line 2 times , in the 1st half ? Then the flags came & they shot them self in the foot ! And had to take LONG FG"S to even score .

[@omegakek1]

lol some of those phone calls. our fans are a miserable bunch

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Just an observation. I absolutely love Herbert but he didn't play well against the falcons.He seemed out of sync.Especially navigating the pocket.Everyone has off days occasionally and this was just one of those for him.

[@DaveCorning-m4v]

An ugly (lucky) scary 😨 😮 game. But a win is a 🏆... Chiefs next... BTFU...

[@robertd.7060]

I miss DARTH DAN g it !

[@jeffbounds7025]

I’m just confused by the offensive game plans sometimes. We have one WR but Chark can’t get any love? Eventually you just have to throw him the ball in a game and see what happens; Did he kill Harbaugh’s puppy or something, what’s really going on?

[@jackdavidson7853]

Put derwin at wr, we know he can catch the ball

[@jonsand3102]

I will laugh my ass off, if this offense plays badly and the defense whips KC ass next week.😂😂😂😂

[@ByTheWillOfCromYouTube]

People were sold by the pundits these recent opponents were terrible defensive teams yet the Chargers couldn't score. This is part and parcel to the frustrations of the fan base.

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Atlanta just came off a bye and had a lot of time to prepare for the chargers.

[@luisma7142]

[@ericborchers9447]

I do NOT want Samuel Jr. back in the line up! He plays off the ball and tries to get an INT every time. I’ll take Hart all day, every day!

[@emiliohuerta2790]

I think are defense exposed the TE Pitts for the falcons, he's a bust

[@robertneumeyer3047]

If the Chargers of 2023 had a schedule Chargers of 2024, Staley would still be the head coach.
