[@ryansuter4424]

@@chrisb3892 Defense rocked!

[@kalvinkalen3871]

Next Gen stat of the game: Chargers rookie RT Joe Alt allowed zero QB pressures in 11 pass-rush matchups against the Raiders’ Maxx Crosby, all in 1-on-1 situations. Crosby had not been held to zero pressures in a matchup against an offensive lineman since Week 9, 2022 (minimum 10 matchups). On the day, Alt allowed three pressures across his 28 total pass-blocking snaps (10.7% pressure rate).

[@anthonychanning3954]

Good call. I was watching that matchup all game, overall, considering it was his first start. I gave him A-. Very impressive of his part

This team reminds me and is reminiscent of the 1994 Super Bowl team. They always came out after the halftime a completely different team from the first half. Different in a good dominant way.

New coaches, new systems, the third youngest squad in the NFL. Dicker is money. And how many of you were crying about the Alt pick? Zero sacks or pressures given up on 1on1s to MadMax. They will settle in. Harbaugh as the HC won that game by not making stupid decisions. Minter was amazing with his half time adjustments.

[@brandonmatlock2616]

Joe Alt was so good this game crosby couldnt get by him

[@nicklutu]

That was a typical Harbaugh game.

[@someguy2690]

One thing to remember is this offense is COMPLETELY different from last year. We only have 2 skill position players on this team from last season (Palmer, QJ). Both of them are also now playing completely different roles as well. Herbert hasn't played at all in the preseason and missed a good portion of training camp. Dobbins in particular hasn't played a meaningful NFL game while healthy in 2 seasons. That one break-away was his first in a long time. I just got done watching his interview with reporters and he noted that he still needs to get back in top shape, which means this is only a small percentage of what he's capable of. Knock on wood, but if he stays healthy, he's going to be a monster and fantasy football league winner. The sky's the limit if the offense starts to click. This is the defense that we've been waiting such a long time for. I'll be so pumped if the Chargers build a reputation for being a scary, intimidating team.

[@RoyFizzle]

Palmer dropped an easy td

[@lyleabrahams]

He did, but he doesnt drop many... it was a pretty rare occurrence.

[@freedomtrucker2332]

Agree ..it was a little behind him ..but very catchable ..he has to make that ..cmon ..it was amplified by the fact that Allen and Williams were allowed to walk ..he has to step up his game or we’ll see the rookie in ..I would like to see Rice get a few snaps in the next few games ..

[@WTMNNJR]

Herbert hasnt played in a long time. he didnt have herbert level stats here but lete not worry, he will be back in week 2. This was like a pre season game for him.

[@robertd.7060]

Josh Palmer DID drop 2 KEYS passes , 1 for a TD . Those could have HELPED out a ton !

[@Squirmish999]

[@tahu300]

I liked how QJ looked and I really wish we had run the ball a little better. We had a hard time finishing drives. Even after huge plays like JK Dobbins' run down to about the 5 yard line I was telling my friend we really could've used those extra 5 yards and we ended up settling for a field goal. We gotta find ways to be a little more consistent because the Raiders aren't the top challenge for this team moving forward.

[@dontnonowuno9953]

But the Raiders were the number one defense for the last 8 weeks of the season allowing only 16 pts a game after AP became HC.Including beating Mahomes.They brought everyone back and added a beast on their d- line Sooo its a big challenge

New coaches, new systems, very few reps together, first live reps for the whole offense in a game situation.

[@thatchadbrad]

I’m a Michigan and a chargers fan. I’ve been telling my friends all offseason that the chargers are a double digit win team and they will have a top 10 defense in points allowed and turnovers, and they are a steal for a fantasy football team because you don’t have to draft a defense because everyone was sleeping on them. Minter is a genius at installing and running this ravens system even back to 2021 at Vanderbilt. You give him talented players like Derwin, bosa, Mack, and Samuel, he’ll get everyone else on that defense to do their job and do it well. That will allow those talented players to become difference makers.

[@bbchester6]

Whoa, slow it down big guy. It’s the first game of the year and it showed at times. These guys are under talented and play in the toughest division so a double digit season is pretty unrealistic.

[@brockmatthews7584]

Our run game is LEGIT. I kinda predict it will go back and forth each week with Gus and JK, but the formula to our success is THERE. In time I think it’ll gel together better - but also, Raiders have a LEGIT defense. Gotta give em credit for that - but again, THIS is why we got Harbaugh and G Ro. Offensive minded geniuses that know how to overcome a tenacious defense like Vegas has. Also, on the other side of the ball, our defense.. man.. our defense WILL be a top 5 defense this season. We limited Devante to 59 yards, where in recent years he’s TORCHED us. And the fact that we can rotate between Mack and Bosa with Bud and Tuli is UNBELIEVABLE. My goodness our defense was on POINT today. Great win for us ⚡️
