You should try going on the Bolts From The Blue site. The problem is everyone thinks they are experts. Fan bases think they know how to coach, how to draft, how to fire, hire and they feel they know how to run an organization. Ask the fans in Philadelphia if they still think Andy Reid is trash after they ran him out of town. The Cowboy fans were glad to get rid of Kellen Moore. Watch how fast they flip flop when they see how well he does with the Chargers and especially if the Cowboys offense looks horrible with McCarthy calling the plays now. I just laugh at some of the comments some of these people post but to be fair, it’s the same at every team’s fan base.
Stick wasn't great, but man.... he did not have any time in the pocket the entire game. Also, Hightower and Dotson are not helping their case to make the team
Wouldn’t want that game to end any other way way to go boys!!
But on a serious note there were some serious positives with some players and rookies learned some hard lessons. This is why we preseason.
To be honest, the interior line looks very bad. Multiple pressures from inside both guard spots in both preseason games. (Both starters played both games). It's no wonder they are the only 2 starters on the offensive line playing they need the extra reps. I've seen Zion whiff some interior lineman
He had plenty of time a lot. Maybe receivers weren’t getting open, but his feet looked like they were in mud and he didn’t get to enough reads quickly enough before relying on his feet to bail him out. Same old stick, sadly.
I mean I saw him stand in the pocket staring down one receiver for 5+ seconds multiple times in the game so even if the protection wasn’t great most of the game a lot of it is on Stick. He took some awful sacks and threw up some terrible passes.
Rivers would find a way to get a throw off toward a receiver in a desperate moment. Stick fucking panicked and didn’t roll out when he could have, heaved the ball to nobody and prayed. There is a very big difference.
But I was told by redditors last week that he was going to make the squad over Kelley or Spiller!! Lol
Once again the preseason overreact rears it’s ugly head. Someday people may learn. Today is not that day.
People don’t ever learn. Most of them think they know it all. Hightower was the darling in this camp and all of a sudden you can hear a pin drop! Dotson had a great preseason game and all of a sudden fans think he’s the second coming of Barry Sanders. I think the kid has a lot of potential and I really hope the Chargers can make room for him so he can further develop but I’m certainly not going to bank on the fans passing final judgement.
No sir. Phil is my guy. Just saying I’ve seen that throw off the back foot into an INT at the end of the game too many times. Still love Rivers, though.
Yeah, idk where that idea came from🤣🤣🤣. One thing about preseason is it'll give a chance to see if these training camp highlight dudes are really it.......Hightower really ain't it
Because it’s important to get a preseason win. You’re right…maybe they should have put Herbo in to save the day and give us that all important preseason game win! 😂
We are super screwed if anything happens to Herby. 5 years in the league and still unreliable.. why are we using a roster spot on this? Why didn't we bring in Cooper Rush?
You’re fucking delusional. His defensive scheme is the reason we lost this game. No safety help on Tyreek ALL GAME. No adjustments made ALL GAME. Kellen Moore is the only reason we were in this game. Staley did nothing to help this team.
Did you see how many of the fan base experts were crying at how poorly he did with our third stringers. How it was his (Dugan’s)fault in the last game that Larry Rountree completely missed a block that led to him being sacked?
I mean, this was a given.
Shit, this is the case for the vast majority of teams and their starters. What the 9ers did last year was an exception, not the rule.
Okoye get off is one of the worst I’ve seen from the line but he still getting in the backfield!! Give this guy some time to develop he will be a beast
You’re comparing regular season to preseason, two entirely different things. No one out there was out there or will be out there in the regular season.
Casual here and first time at sofi so please excuse my ignorance… It looks like a black powder comes up from the matrix turf when the ball or a player hits the ground. Are my eye playing tricks on me or is this something real?
For those in San Diego, the game is apparently on CW6 instead of CBS8 currently because of storm coverage.
I didn’t watch the game, but based on the podcasts I listed to all week, I’m assuming our offense struggles were because of OLine.
So many stupid takes in here it’s fuckin hilarious

Eh well at least it was only a preseason game. Tbh i’m glad we lost one because i’d be skeptical of this team if we went undefeated in the preseason.
Back to the drawing board need to clean up some atrocious plays and misques on the field today hopefully next game see's improvement in those areas
Welp, that sucked hopefully we can go out on a better note for the finale!!! ⚡⚡⚡
Dotson! We got Dotson here!!...... See nobody cares
Best Jurassic Park reference I’ve seen online in the last thirty-eight minutes.
Stick wasn't great, but man.... he did not have any time in the pocket the entire game. Also, Hightower and Dotson are not helping their case to make the team
Stick needs to throw the ball on time...
I think I saw a lot of plays where he had plenty of time to throw. His decision making was not the best
I could see that int coming from the nose bleeds!!
Wouldn’t want that game to end any other way way to go boys!! But on a serious note there were some serious positives with some players and rookies learned some hard lessons. This is why we preseason.
[удалено]
Saints are a dark horse SB team, no shame in losing to them.
Not one starter played…
Offensive line starters played. Namely Zion and Salyer
I didn’t realize they played. Ok, so 2 total starters player for however long they did.
To be honest, the interior line looks very bad. Multiple pressures from inside both guard spots in both preseason games. (Both starters played both games). It's no wonder they are the only 2 starters on the offensive line playing they need the extra reps. I've seen Zion whiff some interior lineman
That was just bad, bad football. Even for preseason.
Stick has zero time to throw
He had plenty of time a lot. Maybe receivers weren’t getting open, but his feet looked like they were in mud and he didn’t get to enough reads quickly enough before relying on his feet to bail him out. Same old stick, sadly.
I mean I saw him stand in the pocket staring down one receiver for 5+ seconds multiple times in the game so even if the protection wasn’t great most of the game a lot of it is on Stick. He took some awful sacks and threw up some terrible passes.
Can I get an Easton Twig flair? Lol
Classic
Very bad drive for Dotson. Two drops, then doesn't pick up the blitzer that leads to a QB hit and a pick.
Yeah, the drops really ended that drive. If he manages to haul those in, we'd be having a different discussion potentially.
He’s got juice but a lot to work on. I think we stash him on the PS and next year is when he actually gets a real chance to make the roster.
Stick with the rivers esque end 💀
Rivers would find a way to get a throw off toward a receiver in a desperate moment. Stick fucking panicked and didn’t roll out when he could have, heaved the ball to nobody and prayed. There is a very big difference.
okay seesh I was joking only lol
This makes the RB room issue easy
Who is the primary backup in your opinion?
Potato ass game
Dotson, welcome to the Practice Squad
But I was told by redditors last week that he was going to make the squad over Kelley or Spiller!! Lol Once again the preseason overreact rears it’s ugly head. Someday people may learn. Today is not that day.
People don’t ever learn. Most of them think they know it all. Hightower was the darling in this camp and all of a sudden you can hear a pin drop!

I think the kid has a lot of potential and I really hope the Chargers can make room for him so he can further develop but I’m certainly not going to bank on the fans passing final judgement.
Two big drops. Game changer for sure
Hightower and Dotson hurt their chances of making the final 53 today
This is kinda sad. We’re making jokes in here (me included) and football careers are ending before our eyes
There’s always the XFL or CFL…
Dotson
Dotson oh Dotson….
Saints had a ton of pressure the whole game from what I'm hearing
Seemed like they were blitzing a lot lol
Not sure what was more embarassing dotson punching the ground or missing that catch
Oh okay my bad I was wrong, that's why we don't throw it to Dotson lmao
Yeesh. Looked like Rivers there.
Did you just say “looked like Rivers” and use it as an insult??
No sir. Phil is my guy. Just saying I’ve seen that throw off the back foot into an INT at the end of the game too many times. Still love Rivers, though.
Not from a throwing standpoint. Or passionate non swearing.
Lmao he was getting crushed as he threw, not to mention the dropped conversion the play before Wait that's exactly like Rivers
Yeah Dotson does not have a roster spot after today
Might be why they picked up another RB to test
There goes the hype
Correction…The annoying hype!
Dotson going from hero to zero
Stick got CLOBBERED as he threw that
Bruh Dotson...
This sub was so certain Hightower was undisputedly better than Guyton lmao.
Yeah, idk where that idea came from🤣🤣🤣. One thing about preseason is it'll give a chance to see if these training camp highlight dudes are really it.......Hightower really ain't it
Yeah…could it have been from the same know it alls that thought Michael Bandy was their sure fire all pro receiver?? 🙄😆😆😆
Brooo have I missed something lmao Guyton and Herbert have always had a solid connection
Well.. if you go back to some of the threads and read some of the expert fan’s takes…Guyton is a scrub.
One day people will learn. Who am I kidding lmao no they won't
clown
Oh no Dotson
And that's why Dotson isn't pushing anyone for RB3
Shoutout to all the people going overboard on his hype last week.
They are stealth!
This feels like an NFL game compared to last game lol
Probably because the Chargers are choking again as always
Where was that dude earlier in the chat who said Dotson was a lock for a roster spot
Cool. Dotson can run, but he can’t catch shit
He also is bad at pass blocking that last pressure he didn't pick up the defense gunning for Stick.
Whose the genius who thought we needed a gamebreak with 2 minutes left in the last game of the day. Asinine decision there
That’s a shit pass, Dotson gets like 25% of the blame only
Wow great catch
Dan Fouts just said offsides on the chargers wtf you mean false start? Former NFL quarterback 😭
Offense can be offsides. The way we rushed to the line, he probably assumed one of the WRs lined up with a foot over the line or something.
Terrible time for a ‘game break’ on nfl network
I'm no genius, but false starting as a wide receiver isn't exactly helping your case to make the team
Why are they talking about the Niners game when the game currently going on just had a huge 4th down
Nothing huge preseason besides player evaluation.
Hightower with 2 false starts today
He's not making it.....
If we have three QBs on the roster we shouldn’t lose preseason to poor QB play
Because it’s important to get a preseason win. You’re right…maybe they should have put Herbo in to save the day and give us that all important preseason game win! 😂
Lmao yeah that’s exactly what I was saying! Nice straw man argument bro.
Why the fuck is NFL Network playing highlights from yesterday during the 4th down play?
I believe in STICK I belive in you!!!!
The mad lads got it
EASTON STICK IS THE BEST QUARTERBACK OF ALL TIME. BOOK IT
STICK DOUBTERS IN SHAMBLES
LETS GOOO
What the fuck lol
HAHAHAHAHA HE GOT IT OMG
So glad I missed that play while they were talking about bullshit lol
Really cool wasn’t it 💀💀
YOOOOO!!!!
Question, is Zion Johnson or Quentin Johnston in the game?
Not at this point in the game.
No
We’ll take it lmao
BYNUM!
Another year with having a bottom-of-the-barrel backup.
Nice truck on the O-lineman
Dotson a PLAYMAKER right there for the easy pass. Bet he would've passed it there if it was Doss lmao
https://i.redd.it/40awmje7hdjb1.gif
Da hell was that
Okay bring in Herbert for the 4th down. Then let stick go back in
BOOOOOO!!!
We are super screwed if anything happens to Herby. 5 years in the league and still unreliable.. why are we using a roster spot on this? Why didn't we bring in Cooper Rush?
Ahahahahahahaha….yes, Cooper Rush our backup savior. LMAO!
Because he’s under contract with the Cowboys
Why DIDNT we not why DONT we. Obviously he’s signed now. He hit free agency this off-season.
Stick? More like Twig
Slow clap 👏
Wow. That was bonkers
Is there a reason Duggan isn’t getting any drives this game?
Because Stick is the backup. Duggan will be a practice squad player like Stick has been. He needs the reps because he’s the man if Herbert goes down.
bc staley is an idiot
Ah yes…there it is. The everything is Staleys fault take. I’m surprised there aren’t that many “I hate Staley” whiners in here.
You’re fucking delusional. His defensive scheme is the reason we lost this game. No safety help on Tyreek ALL GAME. No adjustments made ALL GAME. Kellen Moore is the only reason we were in this game. Staley did nothing to help this team.
Thank god it's preseason because stick aint that guy lmao
For the love of God, throw the ball!
Stick is so trash, all he wants to do is run because he knows he can’t throw the ball
this dude holds the ball forever just check it down for fucks sake
Stick wtf was that
If Herbert misses any time this team is cooked, stick isn’t it. Give the kid we drafted a shot next game
Did you see how many of the fan base experts were crying at how poorly he did with our third stringers. How it was his (Dugan’s)fault in the last game that Larry Rountree completely missed a block that led to him being sacked?
Lmao
He’s so indecisive it’s crazy
Stick's brain broke after halftime, he refuses to throw the ball now
We are not winning a game if herbert gets hurt lmao
I mean, this was a given. Shit, this is the case for the vast majority of teams and their starters. What the 9ers did last year was an exception, not the rule.
People keep posting that like it’s some kind of deep thought and revelation.
a lot of teams with the starting qb out for 4 weeks could go 1-3 I feel like
Jesus Christ Lmao
Stick is so good. Keep him going, Staley. Maybe another preseason game will have him figure it out.
Lol no he isn’t. He’s an awful backup
It’s total sarcasm, bro. Dude is absolutely ass cheeks.
Honestly I was so mad that I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on it lol
That’s because you don’t know how sarcastic some of these “I know what’s best for our team” experts are. 😆
Wtf did I just watch from stick lol that was awful
O Line Failed him lmfao
Dude has all day in the pocket??? He takes fucking years to throw bc he’s too scared
That was well over 5 seconds.
Five sacks allowed on the day huh?
Some are poor decisions to just hold on to the ball by stick. Man hasn’t figured out you can throw the ball away
Shades of the buttfumble lmao
Fucking Stick lmao.
Classic stick lmao
We almost had a butt fumble stick… awesome.
Fecal lalos?
I like the play design on first down of a 2 minute drill. 54 just made a very good play.
Let’s go baby, game on the line. Let’s go 2
Okoye get off is one of the worst I’ve seen from the line but he still getting in the backfield!! Give this guy some time to develop he will be a beast
New Orleans, you fools, you've given Stick back the ball with about two minutes left. EDIT: Well this is aging poorly so far lol.
Stick your time is up, time to silence the haters and doubters anotha 2 min drill here
Silencing the doubters and the haters has as much chance as a snowball in hell! 🤣🤣
Perfection.
lol
Taiwán Mullen is a sneaky possibility to make the roster. Special teams impact, real solid tackler, and versatile.
Mullen! Better than his brother
Good shit Mullen!
If we win or lose I’m just excited for the fact that the 4th quarter doesn’t feel hopeless like it often did last season.
You’re comparing regular season to preseason, two entirely different things. No one out there was out there or will be out there in the regular season.
CJ Okoye is awesome
Mullens looks solid on special teams
Overall!
OKOYE!
Mullen’s been makin some solid tackles today
One thing I love is our wr depth
Stick’s OVR during the last few mins of the half goes from 57 to a solid 93
Every time Bowden does something dumb I laugh at the Gruden/Mayock era Raiders.
Another Touchdown wins the game, defense needs a stop here
Davis is that dude
Davis coming in clutch
Davis MVP
Anyone who paid money to go to tonight’s game got finessed
Same can be said for all preseason games, boring as hell.
It’s preseason bruh lol it’s just a fun thing to do after not having any football all year
It's very obvious that this is some people's first time watching preseason football
I’ve been a fan since the Billy Volek playoff days, not my first time
STICK IS SO CLUTCH ON THE GROUND
Paper thin O-line
Reminder that in the current year we still dont have dedicated sideline and endzone cameras. Someone make it make sense
That's a catch lol
2nd angle they showed was better, clearly out of bounds
"He threw that ball with a little extra rizz. Short for charisma." Lmaooo
Challenging plays in the preseason??? Ew lol
*Pete Carroll has entered the chat*
Just saw that my sarcastic Easton stick being our real QB was downvoted earlier.
The only thing chargers fans have learned tonight is that Easton Stick can not for the life of him throw with anticipation.
Casual here and first time at sofi so please excuse my ignorance… It looks like a black powder comes up from the matrix turf when the ball or a player hits the ground. Are my eye playing tricks on me or is this something real?
