This last game showed how badly we need a veteran receiver. All those drops hurt so much and Herbert was getting the ball where it needed to be. Sad.

[@marshallnmoonshine]

Man I hope we get Chark back. If not, I think we’re gonna regret not grabbing a big name WR. But if we patch that interior OL, Herbert can elevate the WRs on hand. It’s like “What does your car need more? Tires or gas?” Well, both.

[@chaneystcgstore4692]

It's hard to teach speed

[@marshallnmoonshine]

@@chaneystcgstore4692 for sure. But they can teach catching and ball security. Fumbles cost us the game in Arizona. Take back those fumbles and maybe it’s not even a close game.

Gas. You can drive with cheap tires but just easy and steady....Either way, the interior OL needs to protect better

Does he HAVE to block at the 2 guards & center spots ? Does he HAVE to get [ 1 sack ] in a game ? Does he have to get picks OR fumbles in games [ NO ] Not his job ? Plays hurt all the time , UNLIKE [ BOSA , Chark ] !!!!! ***PS *** now IF you & the other FOOLS must talk about contracts ? BRING up BOSA"S $ 30 mill per year for NOTHING !!!!!

Exactly but it’s because TT gave out all that money and they had to fix the books but it’s time man we need to get a WR

The Chargers fix one problem and another problem pops up.

Rattler has said many times he will target Olave. If the Chargers Blitz Rattler and double team Olave then Rattler is shut down.

It will be really nice to see Bosa back for the 8 snaps he plays before he gets hurt again.

[@bugz23]

If we lose to saints, IDK what to say.

[@christopherwilson5213]

So I’m going to throw this out there Jim Harbaugh was supposed to bring physicality and accountability but looks like Minter has held his end up while Roman needs to be held accountable for this miserable offense scheme. The interior line is horrible and soft, needs to address this ASAP!!!

[@rickpeterson8825]

Are you slow? This team was 5--12 last yr, they wrre terrible! Harbaugh is a huge part of this success! Be mad at Tom Telesco for royaly fucking up the cap! And b4 you say " we should have kept KA, he's already missed 3 n half games! And Mike Williams can't run anymore!

[@DesiFR25]

The ⚡️ offense is garbage

[@Zetler]

You know this team is in the gutter when DJ Chark makes the headline. The Saints can order their defense off Temu and hold this historically trash offense to 13 points.

[@ianwilson7632]

trade for Calvin Ridley

[@tomaseduardo8951]

I like that idea.

[@AshS85]

No

[@jonjones655]

Oh yea, Joey back on the field so he can get an unsportsmanship or injured in the first quarter usual result.

[@davegarcia7905]

OR 2 snaps OUT of him , before his balls get hurt ! If he has a pair on him ?

[@rickpeterson8825]

Stop f'n crying

[@jeffogden8168]

starts at the head coach. relax everybody their goal is to only win 9 games this season. they're never going to show with the a team's abilities are in the league's. until we have a second string quarterback that can set up and come in when our first string gets an ahwea. and the coach figures it out, chargers will not advance

[@Joel-mu5lk]

The Chargers don't need Joey Bosa. The defense is just fine without him. I can imagine this scenario on Sunday. Bosa plays 3 plays and goes to the bench feigning an injury again. Need to get rid of him. Really don't care what his cap hit is, he's a cancer. I'm tried of hearing all the talking heads (this ones for you David) saying Bosa is a threat and an elite player. He's a girl and should be on the bench wearing a dress and adjusting his bra straps.

[@SamSanatorium]

I'm going to bet on New Orleans, we never beat this team lol

[@Zetler]

You gotta insane to pick the Chargers in this game. Greg Roman will make the Saints look like the 84 Bears.
