Ridiculous that this is a Chargers home game. Should not have been allowed to move.

It's crazy that LA went from having 0 teams to 2, and we expect the fans to actually show up. This is like when Florida went from 0 MLB teams to 2. Nobody is shocked that even when those teams are pretty good, they have no fans.

NFL needs a more robust targeting rule. That hit from James deserves an ejection.

I'd rather have an 11YO playing Madden manage the clock at the end of halves than Mike McCarthy.

Shouldn’t be missed that McCarthy shockingly flubbed the time management there. Pissed 20 seconds down the drain with 2 TO, next play was a scramble that went nowhere and holding call.

Then willingly let the clock run down from eight to three and took a timeout to kick a field goal inside the 15 with a $40M QB.

It’s amazing how many iterations of the Chargers we’ve witnessed over the last 20 or so years that are this exact combination of talented and self-defeating.

Should have challenged that.

Herbert's knee hit but didnt look like he was touched right away.

It wasnt a slide, he should have gotten all the yardage until he was touched and by then was clearly a 1st down.

What's crazy is that neither Aikman or Buck even thought about that.

Re-thinking about this.. A QB can give himself up going head first. If he was deemed to have been giving himself up there then the spot was correct.

This seems like a lot of effort on the NFL's part to promote flag football in the Olympics

I don’t know why this is and I picked them to be good this year, but the particular way the Chargers fail reads like a comedy skit to me. The coaches beard makes me think he is in on the bit.

"Big play by Justin Herbert" - ball was thrown behind Allen, who made a great catch.

We opened the season with the ref expert explaining how the league explicitly doesn’t want OL penalties called, and yet here we are.

So which of these teams accustomed to making foolish mistakes will fulfill its destiny
