Justin Herbert Comes Through Clutch for the Chargers As They Avoid Disaster Against the Bengals

[@sparaz]

I was at this game in person and the energy in the first half was intense. The second half had me with my head in hands watching it all fall apart. It was a roller coaster of emotions until the very end when the entire stadium jumped in the air on that final TD. I was so happy to have them seal the deal at the end, what a relief.

[@COACHTY1]

I feel you I felt the same way at Home watching. It still felt like we were a weapon short for some reason. Imagine if we had just a Higgins the difference in what our offense would look like ? I know we have a few drops and some unnecessary penalties but it seem like they started figuring us out

[@keroutson]

The Chargers defense finally played against a very good offense and they got exposed in the 2nd half. Their defense is very good but they’ve had a favorable schedule.

[@ernestogastelum9123]

@@keroutson Chargers defense proved they where good at the first half. they just got tired in the second half because the offense was getting a lot of 3 and outs

[@fatheremmet2003]

Cannot believe I saw so many Chargers fans moaning on social media about the manner of a... VICTORY! Yes we nearly "Chargered" the second half, but we finally flipped the script!🎉🎉. I think a win like that is actually better in the long run, because it exorcises the ghost of Chargers past and gives the team and Herbert in particular a huge psychological breakthru moment to carry forward.

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Let's be real. I'm a Bolts fan, but chargers fans have to complain even in victory.

[@arose112]

@@JohnLee-ud2gmlet’s be real, anyone who has been a Charger fan for longer than Herbert has been a Charger knows that there is a ton of PTSD about games like this being losses. Charger fans would like to just comfortably beat some teams when they’re up by 2-3 scores to avoid the inevitable heart attack.

[@silasrobertshaw8122]

​@@JohnLee-ud2gm call it a shared psychosis then. Whatever you want to call it, we have seen this before for decades. Chargers are notorious for losing these types of games. Even Harbaugh has lost a 21 point lead at home when he was the Niners coach; against the Chargers no less. I don't fault anyone for thinking it was going to happen again. It was a stressful game no matter someone's previous fandom.

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

@silasrobertshaw8122 Agreed

[@richardpcrowe]

What no one has mentioned is the block that Quentin Johnson made to allow J.K. Dobbins final and game winning run. Q.J. was written off last year as a bum pick but, with great coaching, he has proven otherwise.

[@marshallnmoonshine]

Probably both candidates for Comeback of the Year.

[@keroutson]

QJ was 0 for 6 in contested catches! He still hasn’t improved in that area.

[@thomasjones2377]

In my eyes, he is getting better but he was just 2 of 8 he has too keep working... he is definitely so much better than last year.. I'm sure he's definitely going to be a decently better than a average wr. He just has to hang on to the ball, herbert is putting it right in his hands... when he gets the consistency go up, we will see him definitely start to shine. He has proven he can get it done. Now he's just has to string some games together.

[@MarkDavis-ge3rz]

The D has been so good you expect they'll never give up Any Big Plays...I just hope Playoff Time they are HEALTHY

[@wiggybruce7938]

exciting football like the old days ....but this time we win !!!

[@Michael_BoltMan]

Very good show gentleman. The biggest takeaway from this game for me was when they faced adversity, they found a way to overcome it and get the win. To me, that was so important because it changes the way the players think of themselves. Now they can start believing they will win the close games, even if the opponent makes a comeback like the Bengals did. Remember.. the Bengals were fighting for their playoff lives, and the Chargers still won. Great reminder why Harbaugh was brought in.. Bring on the Ravens!

[@smh0825]

Pretty sure that was the best QB played game I’ve ever seen. Both were on absolute 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

Agreed,but Herbert missed a couple of easy throws. That one where he over threw McConkey when he was wide open. Overall, he was amazing, though.

[@texmcboog]

Slater did not give up the sack. Zion did. They ran a stunt, Slater took the outside rusher and Zion missed the handoff.

[@dicktrickle741]

Zion gonna Zion, he never picks up the stunt

[@HakunaMontano]

Buy or sell: Justin Herbert's legs and his ability to escape and get up field, is one of the top three reasons the Chargers are winning more games this year and putting the rest of the NFL on notice. Long time listener. Love the show gentlemen. David, thank you for your great service and Daniel, Thank you for your great fatherhood

Halelujah! I like that. I say that too when God blesses us or when good overcomes evil (not saying the Bengals are evil, but I root for the Chargers!).

It just goes to show, the fear/ptsd we have as fans is not what the team believes anymore. They have the confidence and coaching to believe in themselves in clutch moments. Great win

[@alancleary4660]

Glad we won. But we've got a lot more work to do on closing out games. I can't believe our defence let them back in the game like that. Along with our offence being stagnant the 2nd half until that last drive.

[@Rodricktyrone]

That’s a top 3 offense in the league. They were gonna get something going. We were throwing the ball a lil too much, but adjustments were made but that fumble was the real momentum killer lol

[@JohnLee-ud2gm]

[@Rodricktyrone]

@@keroutson I wasn’t being statistical when I said top 3. More so name 3 offenses you’d rather have. (lions for sure. Maybe ravens. & maybe eagles) Seahawks are probably statistically better but I’m not picking their offense over the bengals.

I really thought people saying the Chargers would get 12 wins, or even 11, were crazy. I thought 10 wins was being very optimisitc, but its a possibility.

[@PokepoppinTV]

We went 3 and out, they went 3 and out, we went 3 and out, they went 3 and out, and then we won. Both teams had a rough 4th quarter, but the better team came out off the funk and out on top in the end. BOLT TF UP ⚡️⚡️⚡️

McKonkey or Henley for next jersey, this decision is impossible!

[@Electric_Funeral]

I didn’t want to spend the money on Tee Higgins until I watched this game. First of all, the dude is a freaking beast, if Derwin weren’t Derwin he would have caught that hail mary. 2nd I really don’t need to see any more contested go balls to QJ ever. If we let go of Palmer, who is just meh, and had a receiving corps of Ladd QJ and Tee and we just let QJ run crossers and slants and let Tee do those 80/20 balls, with Ladd cutting up the slot, add Tyler Warren in the draft, get a center… now that’s a brutal offense

[@arturohernandez7625]

@ we can probably cut Bosa and clear enough to pay for it too

[@giamarshall6323]

Cam Hart went out the game with an injury .. it’s simple as that . He was able to lock up Higgins … while Fulton covered chase with the safety shadowing .It’s as simple as that

[@texmcboog]

Did Gus get hurt? That was working well in the first half with him running between the tackles. Could have used more of that in the second to slow things down and kill the clock.

[@larrycipriani351]

Last year, we loose this game, no question. That's in the past folks. This is only the beginning.

[@asymmetrickmusic]

If our D stopped them on just ONE of those 4th down TDs, the negative momentum most likely would've stalled and the final score wouldn't have been close. Glad they stepped up in the end! ⚡

Dobbins may be the greatest move we made.

After re-watching it, the Bengals, definitely let Dobbins score so they can get the ball back one last time

[@prestonfen27]

2nd half adjustments are an issue. I'm glad they won and I love the 1st half...but they keep going 3 and out repeatedly in the 2nd half. Leaving our defense out there till they're gassed. Looks like Roman is getting out coached at halftime. Keep doing that and there will be another Jaguars kind of loss in the playoffs. Thank goodness they got the win.

[@MarkDavis-ge3rz]

They will also study tape n Always get better....

[@blood_sausage9620]

With Otito almost costing us the win, do we see Egboigbe? We used a 4th on him, before guys like Cam Hart and Tarheeb.

[@therealrickytan]

The two negatives from this game to learn from: 1. Herbert not sliding. There was no reason for him to try to duke it out in that situation. I doubt we’ll see him do that again. 2. Sending the house leaving a WR completely open on the slant for the TD. That was just too easy for Burrow.
