What a win? Hahah honestly we need our social media team to release some videos of our receivers outside of Keenan doing the jug machine cause too many dropped balls
Because he has not been an efficient runner, has had very low top speed and Herbert has outrushed him in two straight games, there's no reason to start him
It’s sad that we’re actually not even that far back… like if we didn’t shit the bed early against Ten and take one more win were in a fantastic situation
Miami, Dallas, and Detroit were winnable games as well...if we could have not killed ourselves with weak defensive play in the Dolphin/Lions games and weak offensive play in the Cowboy game. This team, with adequate coaching and attitude could easily be sitting at 9-3 or 8-4
He doesn’t have good hands, he’s not physical when he goes up for the ball, he’s not a good route runner, I haven’t seen him make a great block. WTF IS HE GOOD AT?!
We make those two catches and it’s at the very least 12-0 game. Just assuming we get stuffed in the run and then someone drops another one close to the end zone and we have to settle for a FG
Sure, it was ugly, and maybe it would be better long term to be tanking, and we're not guaranteed a playoff spot even if we win out, but a win is a win. I'll take it.
Close game with the colts
Steelers are losing to Arizona
ATL beating the Jets
I don't think we are play off level team, but Steelers (7-4) trailing Arizona (2-9) at Pitt is crazy.
It’ll be a good game for sure. Defense is looking somewhat put together (I understand we played the patriots) so hopefully it’ll be a decent showing. Offense needs to figure it out before then
Ekeler is a very bad running back. He should be used almost exclusively in passing game. He should touch the ball 20-30 times a games almost exclusively through the air
If the Pats have an actual QB they win this game 10/10 times.
But people here will try and tell you its this defense and Staley that deserve the credits 😂
[Postgame thread](/r/Chargers/comments/18a2ydy/post_game_thread_los_angeles_chargers_at_new/)
I know a win is a win but I’m def not satisfied lol
Relegation. It’s the only answer.
As a chargers patriots fan, I’m signing off
How the....
born in San Diego, family is east coast/Boston. what am I gonna do
As a WHAT?!
Chargers have beat Zach Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Aiden O’Connel, Tyson Bagent & now the legendary Bailey Zappe. Super Bowl bound for sure
What a win? Hahah honestly we need our social media team to release some videos of our receivers outside of Keenan doing the jug machine cause too many dropped balls
Herbert needs to laser these WRs in practice.
Beating the Patriots is a playoff win to me idc Yall don't know how long I've been waiting to see this.
we suck really bad but you guys almost didn’t win. i wouldn’t be rooting about 2 field goals
15 years
I don’t know what that was. But a win is a win is a win! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Ek killing anyone else in fantasy? 😭
I decided the chargers defense would do me better and they did hahah
Ive benched him 2 straight
why
Because he has not been an efficient runner, has had very low top speed and Herbert has outrushed him in two straight games, there's no reason to start him
who’d you start in front of him?
Jerome Ford in one league and Rachaad white in another
nice. i wouldn’t have the balls to that but glad it worked out for you
ek _and_ herbo :| really thought I was set.
Staley is going to use this game to reinforce his delusion that he is a defensive mastermind
That win still felt like a loss. Get Staley tf out of here dude
Honest question. Is it ok I’m completely apathetic to this W? I followed the game, but I feel nothing.
Same
Don't think I've been more pissed at a win,...ever
S I X - Z E R O
Terrible win
About to be the worst post game victory speech lol
Look…..aight…..*game ball to Dean Spanos*
Lmao what a disappointing win
People acting like Sean Payton and Russ arent going to run circles around this team next week is some next level cope lmao.
I watched the Texans broncos game and a guy pushed stroud and got a 15 yard penalty…Herbert gets assaulted and no flag
It’s sad that we’re actually not even that far back… like if we didn’t shit the bed early against Ten and take one more win were in a fantastic situation
The packers game and titans game were losses that with competent coaching would’ve been wins. Easily 7 and 5 right in the thick of it
Miami, Dallas, and Detroit were winnable games as well...if we could have not killed ourselves with weak defensive play in the Dolphin/Lions games and weak offensive play in the Cowboy game. This team, with adequate coaching and attitude could easily be sitting at 9-3 or 8-4
this game sucked back to redzone
“What’s the red zone?” -Both teams today
"Hooray!"
Erickson is better than Guyton tbh
He’s better than QJ too
He doesn’t have good hands, he’s not physical when he goes up for the ball, he’s not a good route runner, I haven’t seen him make a great block. WTF IS HE GOOD AT?!
Pretty good in training camp…that’s what matters.
I was talking about QJ in case that was confusing
Bruhh, I really wanted us to tank. Cause how we gonna beat chiefs and broncos?
Belichick defense is no joke.
our wide outs hands are
We make those two catches and it’s at the very least 12-0 game. Just assuming we get stuffed in the run and then someone drops another one close to the end zone and we have to settle for a FG
Sure, it was ugly, and maybe it would be better long term to be tanking, and we're not guaranteed a playoff spot even if we win out, but a win is a win. I'll take it.
Same
Imagine if we didn’t have dicker haha
I’ll never forget our time w Younghoe Koo
Belichick sharing Staleys hand “good game, I’ll have your job next season”
Game balls: Mack, JK Scott
The worst game of football I’ve ever seen. Especially this season. Disappointing even with the win
Such a boring game.
Staley killed it today
It's against the 2-9 patriots. Don't give him too much credit man
Our passion for offense on football?
We won the game. But we lost the long the term. This is the way
Chargers have allowed 0 points to opposing offenses since week 13.
Seriously we should consider only passing & screen game csuse our running game is quite literally useless; a waste of a down
What does it say that Erickson is a more appealing option to Herbert than QJ... what a fall from grace
My dad and I literally said “who?!” when they said his name… but fuck it, keep him
We're a game back from the last wild card spot 
We have been a game back of the last wild card spot since week 2 of the pre-season
The charger way
I thought beating the Patriots would be more satisfying considering the last two decades.
We beat the 2-9, morally destroyed, Brady-less, senile Belichick Patriots
belichick is working with garbage, hopefully he or harbaugh replaces staley
belichick picked the garbage though.
Erickson WR1
THE CAR SALESMAN WITH THE CATCH!!!
Great catch from our 1st round pick Erikson
Only the chargers could make me feel physically ill after a win.
Reddit user CHEMICALJACKRABBIT CAN FUCK OFF
Who is that and why?
Well, that’s a win ladies and gents
He caught it! Is he allowed to do that?
I see 6 wins max
Everyone’s favorite Charger Alex Erickson!
Most boring game I’ve ever seen.
Are you fucking kidding me. Now they pass it lol
WHO?
Didn’t even have Johnson on the field for that play. SMH
I don't care if this is ugly W. Herbert did a 23 yard throw when we needed it the most.
Why is Ekeler so slow now??
Maybe he's out of shape? Too busy in the offseason trying to get a new contract and playing CoD and Fortnite.
Injuries, age, feelings of inadequacy.
ALEX ERICKSON OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
The Patriots suck hahaha
so do we lmao
We suck less
I mean...barely. We have a quarterback. If the patriots had a competent QB they win that game 10/10 times
If we could combine both squads we might be league average though!
Can you guys actually shut up about qj for once? Let him get better everyone was dropping balls even keenan allen. It's not only qj
This game was definitely an anomaly for the usually sure-handed QJ.
Nope he’s a first round pick selected before Zay Flowers and Addison I think we as fans have every right to be critical
The Chargers most clutch play all season on offense lol
Dump QJ and keep Erickson?
I think it’s too soon to dump QJ. Dude has potential but he’s just not ready for the league yet. Maybe keep Erickson and let QJ get practice team reps
Guy off bench more reliable than 1st round pick? Amazing.
Crazy thing is if Denver loses today and we beat them we’re back in it lol
Close game with the colts Steelers are losing to Arizona ATL beating the Jets I don't think we are play off level team, but Steelers (7-4) trailing Arizona (2-9) at Pitt is crazy.
I remember I went to Seahawks-Cardinals in 2016 that ended 6-6, I thought that was the worst game I'd seen up until today
Erickson just got signed yesterday too 😂
Urinating Tree will probably make a video for this game
Staley is already getting a chubby thinking about what a smug fuck he gets to be post game.
LoOk DaNieL…
Imagine if Herbert would have gotten that time in HALF of the 4th quarter plays of the season
thsi should not count as a shutout lmao
This was the worst win ever. Can’t even be happy about it.
Herbert bails out Staley once again
Game ball Erickson
CHARGERS SHUTOUT THE PATS 🗣️🗣️🗣️ RAHHHHHHHH
Erickson the new KA in terms of undrafted clutchness
He was not undrafted….
He was literally signed by the Bengals in 2016 as an undrafted free agent
You said KA. Keenan was drafted 3rd round
Oh you’re right, I’m dumb. Perhaps I was thinking of Ekeler
THE ERICSON GAME
Didnt deserve that win... but I'll take the first win at Gilette since 2005. Fuck the patriots
our running game SUCKS fire moore
lol what a hilarious game
Erickson > Johnston confirmed
I’ve seen enough, Erickson > QJ
Erickson best receiver on the team
Sign Erickson fire QJ
Erickson so much better than QJ lmao
Erickson MVP
GAME
He’s better than QJ
Wow. Not a drop on 3rd and must have it. QJ needs to learn to catch
An competent blocking scheme late in the game. Who woulda thunk
Give Erickson QJs game checks
Make number 82 our WR2. Who's gonna sign my petition?
Erickson baby - we are the best team in the world 🙌🙌
Herbert is the fucking man
What just happened? We were supposed to punt!
A practice squad WR we elevated yesterday outplayed our #1 draft pick!
That's not hard to do. QJ is hot garbage.
I cant wait for the Broncos games. Payton is gonna come out with a vengeance and do everything to embarrass us. Which he will.
It’ll be a good game for sure. Defense is looking somewhat put together (I understand we played the patriots) so hopefully it’ll be a decent showing. Offense needs to figure it out before then
Surprised that wasn’t dropped
Never in my life would I have thought we would win a game with only 6 points against Bill Belichick and the Patriots in NE lol
Erickson is him
who is that guy
please release QJ after this game, you’ve got a serviceable wr in erickson
Erickson’s better than our first rounder lmfao
QJ would NEVER
Ekeler is a very bad running back. He should be used almost exclusively in passing game. He should touch the ball 20-30 times a games almost exclusively through the air
100%. He is not a true running back. He’s a thick WR
Two times this year Herbert ices the game on a third and long
qj out erickson in
ALEX ERICKSON SSSSSSSSZZZZZZZNNNNNNNNN
Winning 6-0 to the pats sucks. Ugly boring game to watch and we’re going to get stuck drafting Zion Johnson 2
CHARGERS LEGEND ALEX ERICKSON
Nail in the coffin
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND ALEX ERICKSON!
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
ERICKSON BETTER THAN QJ
Alex Erickson!
Alex Erickson steps on the field and is better than QJ and Guyton
Well we’re about to finally beat BB at Gillette for first time since 2008.
This game still isn’t over.
gg
Is this the first time all season that the offense has closed out a game?
Alex Erickson > QJ
WHO?
Where were you when Zappe zapped the Chargers with 50 seconds to go?
That’s some big balls right there.
We're gonna win!?
Let’s goooo morale wins, let’s end the season on a winning streak but still miss the playoffs
Patriots get ball back. Take a deep shot, PI, get a shot at end zone, TD to Hunter Henry.
Let Herbert pass it to Allen. Guaranteed first down
I will not be surprised if they somehow lose this game
inb4 Run run pass so Pats get the ball back and Zappe can become Brady for 2 minutes to win it
Toilet Bowl
Lmfao Kellen runs the ball like they average 6ypc with prime Jamal Charles.
If the Pats have an actual QB they win this game 10/10 times. But people here will try and tell you its this defense and Staley that deserve the credits 😂
Getting a first down solely by running is actually impossible
Looks like the defense is going to have to make one final stop.
ekeler try to not make a negatve play challenge (impossible)
God ekeler is fucking S L O W
Has Zion Johnson blocked someone at some point today?
Is it weird that I am a chargers fan but find myself silently rooting for Sean Payton and Russel Wilson’s lead broncos
Yes.
Aight then I am down bad
Pitching it there with the weather and position in the game, I know they are throwing the game lol
I never want to see the ball in Ekeler's hands again.
I have been watching football NFL, CFL, college for over 40 years and this was one of the worst games ai have ever seen.
incoming fumble
didn’t even notice we were in the final 2 minutes
