jim harbaugh
I believe we will make a run and we will win this game 23-21 over the Patriots because Justin Herbert has been here before and this is Drake maze first playoff but not only do the Patriots have to watch out for Justin Herbert's throwing the football but they also have to watch out for him running the football as well so protect Herbert run the football no penalties no turnovers and we will win the game Bolta let's go😊😊😊😊
Hampton is going to play, we'll make the Bowl 🎉😊❤
Shhh….OH is ahem NOT playing…..shhhh 😮
Let Vidal/Patterson cook if Hampton still isn't healthy
No point in starting injured players
I can’t wait for the day we hear from Joe Hortiz
As long as we don’t blow early TDs like we did against Houston, then we are golden
Hampton and Vidal are the true WOMBO COMBO 🔥😎 need to see em light up New England
Chargers are going to do what they always do in the playoffs… CHOKE. Herbert, Rivers, Fouts… CHOKE artists. New England is going to make they 2007 AFC Championship game look like child's play. 38-11 Patriots. Same old same old form the Chargers. You guys can re-visit my comment when this comes to fruition(which it will). MAGA!!
We will go as far as the OLine allows us to … they better put up 😤 #BoltUp ⚡️@chargers ⚡️

Don’t pull a Mccree
Come on my boys !! You guys are so much better than the Patriots and the fkn broncos !! Let's get these dubs !!! Herberts a way better qb than these fkn guys ! Protect the man at all cost ! Let's get these dubs and take us to the ship!!! 🏆
Greg Roman runs better pay off with deep play action passes later or we’re cooked
This isn’t Coach Harbaugh’s first rodeo. He is operating on a level of football genius most of us will never understand. The Chargers are exactly in the position they want to be in.
Coach has made it clear since day one, he is here to win SBs (yes, plural) not division titles (ask BUF if division titles mean anything).
It was clear as the season was ending, they had no chance at the #1 seed and a bye week. So the number of games they would have to play to reach the SB remains the same. So it was time to start planning which opponents would give them the best chance of moving on. Clearly that would be the teams with the two weakest schedules of all the teams in the playoffs (NE, DEN). They needed to do two things. Lock in the 7 seed and ensure Denver was the #1.
By intentionally losing to HOU (explaining the uncharacteristic deep ball TDs and Dicker missing chip shots), they were able to give their key players an extra week of rest, which is now only reserved for the 1 seeds. By resting and allowing DEN to win, they ensured NE was the #2 seed, setting up the perfect scenario. Sometimes, controlling your own destiny doesn’t mean just winning games.
There is a slight disadvantage to being the road team (only 10-15% less), but they determined playing NE and DEN on the road still gave them better odds than playing BUF or HOU at home in the first round.
And then the NFL got on board and helped the Bolts by scheduling a late kickoff instead of the traditional East coast advantage early start time.
This may not work, but Harbaugh has cleverly put the Chargers in the best position possible to get to the SB. It’s up to the rest of the team (Minter and Roman) to take it from here.
Boys, I bought two tickets to the divisional round in Denver. That’s the kind of confidence I got. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
coaches body energy says Omarion is out Sunday… wtf
Run , play action and solid D
Jim is confident. BTFU⚡️⚡️⚡️
Our second string defense held the #1 seed broncos offense to 3 points last week. Only touchdown they had was a pick-6.
I believe this team will make a run. Love these guys. Time to Bolt up.! We've been banged up all season and still made play offs… Let's shock the haters..
Go pats
Chargers 23 Patriots 17 ⚡🏈
Bolt up let's go
