Film Study: What went WRONG for Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers Vs the Patriots

30 comments

1. Mark Sanchez without the playoff wins

2. The "San Diego Curse" continues to hold up. SD refused to support the winningest team in history: the SD Sockers. The hex has affected every SD team in every sport since.

3. Seems like Herbert gets so many passes,, yet Purdy is always being scrutinized

4. What went wrong for Chargers is that Harbaugh put Greg Roman in charge of offense. He clearly proved over two seasons is that he is a liability and not an asset for Herbert and the offense.

5. I didn't watch the game I really don't want to hear anything about them Herbert is overrated and they always break our heart at the end of the season and play like they haven't played all year

6. Imo herb is the last person on this team that should be blamed. Everyone around him is dogshit. The franchise and the owner needs to be who people blame. Dogshit chargers owner has never done what's best for the team and it shows.

7. The story of this game is the Patriots D more than anything else. I cannot believe that the Chargers only scored 3 points

8. The reason why Coach was gobsmacked , was because he whiteness firsthand , his QB , seemingly not a smart Qb. No blitz beaters.EVER! He seems to only diagnose his fears

9. Coaches don’t play but sure can screw a game up from the sidelines.
   All the talent in the world won’t get you a first down, if they don’t call the right play.
   Offense has got to be more creative , way more creative!
   If you are predictable don’t go on 4th down.

10. It’s Greg Roman
    – a Ravens fan

11. Can someone please explain to me why Keenan didn't try to catch that pass that went right above his head? I paused the game to see it and it was totally catchable.

12. What u think rdj as dr doom ? Crazy right he going play good villain rdj we all know dude could act his ass off

13. I personally think the hits mounted and he started seeing ghost even when he wasn’t pressured he was so worried he would run early or get scared which I can’t blame the guy he been getting smoked

14. As a charger fan trying to not be bias. My opinion. Terrible scheme from the OC. Hes gone now as he should be. I wish I could watch the all 22 cause I don't think from what I saw many of the receivers got open at all. There were 3 throws I think Herbert missed that may or may not have changed the game. Two he under threw. Ladd down the left side of the field.he allowed the defender to catch up and break to up. The other to QJ down the right side. He had him and he under threw it. I don't agree with your analysis of the first fumble where Vidal picks it up. Yes he sees pressure but did not look like he had an outlet. He avoids first guy who is up the middle unblocked and then pressured by outside rusher. I just don't think there was much there for him in that game. And when you are pressured over half the drop backs or 3 linemen on one play just don't touch anyone rushing up the middle. What are you supposed to do. The tackle injuries changed everything. If they had even one of them they had a good chance in this game. But no run game hurts. Defense played great. Wasn't Herbert's best game. But he was massacred and no one open. Also 2 key Allen drops.

15. After the Chargers playoff loss in Jacksonville (up 27-3) was when I knew Herbert didn't have the goods.

16. I disagree that there are two Herberts, the regular season and the playoff Herbert. This game was the same issues of the regular season. The results were bad, but it also was the same bad process as the regular season. The same flaws. Herbert's mistakes in this game also happened during the regular season.

17. keep making excuses for this guy LMFAO i would love to see the chargers give him a huge contract and continue to suffer

18. I mean Herbert aint perfect but he had no chance with the O line and Greg roman

19. Great to watch. I dont feel bad 😄

20. sounds like your are talking about lamar jackson

21. What went wrong for the Chargers just got fired…goodbye, Greg Roman…

22. He’s running for his life and barely missed receivers

23. Go to 6:43seconds , & watch the Center from snap to collapse. That has been the season in a nutshell. Bozoman better be released/cut/ fired immediately

24. THEY PLAYED A MUCH BETTER TEAM, THATS WHAT HAPPENED….

25. JH missed couple wide open McConkey touch downs all season long slinging the rock once come to play offs he chokes. Every one talking about the oline he been balling out all year regardless punk was scared been a chargers fan for 28 years now but this guys just keeps choking

26. i blame 90% on herbert especially after his last 2 playoff games dude hes a complete choke like our defence plays great

27. What's the problem? Justin Herbert. He's had 5 coaches — doesn't make any difference. He's had three playoff opportunities — doesn't make any difference. He's had six years in the NFL — doesn't make any difference. He's had six years of offensive lines — doesn't make any difference. I wish him the best, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but it's Justin Herbert who is the problem. He is not confident out there, never adjusts the playcalling to read defenses, cannot see any weaknesses in the defense (except for the Raiders and the Jets), and ultimately cannot find the end zone.

28. Tim Tebow has more playoff wins than Justin Herbert.

29. It was his worst beating yet as a Pro. The young, Burrow-nized Star seemed to be "seeing ghosts" all game long in his third playoff appearance and may have hit his ceiling with a hapless Charger team that never fully regained its winning touch since the highflying years of Air-Coryell. ✈⚡

30. Herbert has a wrist band with all plays for any personnel, use that mf, it flaps around all game but he never audibles
