Misery Index · Euphoric
Chargers fans letting themselves love O.Vidal out loud after a 37-10 stomping that almost felt too easy.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Herbert carved up the short middle all afternoon — finding O.Gadsden, K.Allen, and L.McConkey on the opening drive script — and the defense made C.Wentz miserable from the J.Eboigbe sack onward. The J.Metellus interception in the third was the lone blemish on an otherwise clinical 37-10. The real question now isn't whether this was real, but whether the backfield rotation fans suddenly want to build around can hold up once a defense actually shows up.
What fans said
“If this version of Vidal is legit, the Chargers will be just fine with a Hampton/Vidal backfield going forward.”

“I legitimately feel for Wentz. Dude probably shouldn’t have played at all tonight.”

“I cant believe they kept him in for so long. He's was obviously in so much pain it was affecting his play”

“Vidal is currently living up to my daydreams when we drafted him. I knew something was there... It's good to be right.”
