1. Colinsworth was saying the line play wasn’t the problem. Ok dude.

2. Herbert had two big misses. 1 to keenan and 1 to the fb in the red zone. He hits those, were up 14… i dont know, he just didn't have it that night

3. They don’t have enough difference makers now? Like the pats have stars throughout their roster? Herbert and harbaugh are supposed to be difference makers

4. That was quite the choke job by Sherbert

5. It wasn't the just inquires. They got outplayed AND outcoached. Herbert choked. But yall keep hating on the Patriots, and they'll just keep winning.

6. Isn't the Chargers roster better than Bills? Yeah kinda, the difference is that Herbert isn't remotely on the same plane as Allen.

7. Greg Romans playcalling is outdated, but at the same time, this was the worst ranked offensive line EVER to get into the playoffs. If Slater and Alt come back, that already makes Chargers twice as good of an offense. All offensive line draft, maybe pick up 1 more weapons for offense in FA, things will get better fast.

8. Now lets hear all the excuses for Herbert;

   What’s it going to be this time??

9. Greg Roman called the worst game I have ever seen. He did not come prepared

10. The AFC is weak , the NFC team will win the Superbowl this year anyway. No big loss Chargers still got to the playoffs with the ol issues, just wait until the OL is healthy, good things are coming.

11. Chargers made the Patriots look like the '80s Bears' D.

12. Justin Herbum

13. The patriots got 0 pressure in the first half and couldn’t block a soul the entire game. I can’t stand people pretending like this patriots roster, even with chargers injuries, was any better than that chargers team.

14. If either Roman or Bozeman are still on this team next year, I'm not sure it's worth watching. You can't blame injuries when the worst lineman is your starting center, and your OC can't even scheme a check down

15. all i hear are excuses

16. The funniest thing about this is every Charger fan is yelling at their screen because when Harbaugh came in they had just finished building a state of the art practice facility and hired Herbert’s guy Ben Herbert all with the promise of making players “harder to break.” I’m not shocked they didn’t know this story but this issue was addressed two years ago it just hasn’t worked apparently

17. Weak schedule, banged up chargers team, one excuse after another. Not saying the Pats are headed to the super bowl but the AFC is wide open. Anyone can get in, except the steelers 🤣

18. Good thing the 49ers didn’t have any injuries…. Oh wait stop, giving Herbert a pass

19. Here comes the Herbert excuse train, right on time!

20. Harbaugh got his bad karma, that's what happens when you lose on purpose for seeding. If they won last week, the Patriots would have got the 1 seed and this situation would be avoided

21. Herbert is 0-3 in the playoffs, bad losses in all 3 games. They say you are what your record says you are, thus Herbert is not a championship level QB, he's a Kurt Cousins level QB, nothing more nothing less.

22. I don’t want to hear injury excuses when the Pats were playing rookies at LT and LG. Take the “L” and enjoy your vacation

23. Isn't that amazing that everybody else can see the injury problem except for the offensive coordinator Greg Roman. He literally handed Herbert over on a silver platter to the Patriots defense. Constantly running receiver routes to the same area and running the ball right at the strength of the defense instead of sticking with what worked

24. Drake Maye is undefeated in the post season. Let’s go!

25. Some habit the Chargrs offense just doesn’t seem right.

26. Making Excuses Again, Bro Lamar went 0-3 and you guys basically called him a Bust lol and What’s crazy is that this Chargers Team is more talented than the team Lamar had his first 3 years and you guys are saying Herbert needs more🤣

27. Chargers keep charger-ing

28. There was no offensive game plan for this game other than, "Herbert do it again." They leaned on their worst part of the team – interior offensive line – against the Patriots best defensive part – defensive line.

29. It’s funny people love to hate on Herbert when he’s the toughest and most humble MF out there. He’s missed throws and performed poorly on the playoff stage, despite the lack of help he has he could have pulled the team into the game last night. He’s gonna have to look within himself to fix that problem, but you know who knows that? Herbert. You won’t hear him making excuses or crying about his teammates not picking up slack, so all this hate for this guy really is mind blowing.

30. I dont know whats worse, the lack of integrity in the league, the awful elementary referees, the lackluster journalism, or the toxic extremists and fanatics of the sport. panem et circenses at its finest.

31. This florio abuse won’t be tolerated!

32. talent matters,,,,,so do injuries. There are maybe 4 or 5 guys on a team when they go down they are not replaceable , the quality drops off.

33. Simms didn’t pick the Pats to win over the Chargers

34. They still need a ton of help, Star WR, Interior Line and a new OC

35. Chargers had no offense at all. They need a WR1 and all they can do hope Alt and Slater stay healthy.

36. The last two games the Chargers only scored 6 points. Two different QBs, same OC. If the players were trying to get him fired, hopefully that should do it 😂

37. Haters still think Pats haven't beaten anyone good because everyone they beat is suddenly considered not good.

38. Everything about the offense stunk!J Herb was off target, and when he wasn’t off, the receivers had bricks for hands. Play calling was abysmal at best. O line was serviceable in the first half and turned into a toll free turnstile in the 2nd half.

    Wishlist, game breaker WR round 1, Stud Center round 2 and an innovative, clever OC. Also maybe some of those metal leg braces for the entire O line to use to reduce the lower limb injuries

39. Chargers and injuries tale as old as time.
