Misery Index · Despair
Chargers fans are debating whether to blame McDaniel, Hortiz or the Spanos family for ruining J.Herbert.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
J.Herbert's first-quarter interception, a short throw for C.Kolar that Q.Lake returned 45 yards to the LAC 19, set the tone for a 24-9 loss in which the Chargers never reached the end zone. By the time B.Corum ran in from 23 yards and T.McDuffie picked off another pass meant for C.Kolar in the third, the fanbase had moved on to ranking its quarterback among the league's worst. The line can't block, the passes keep finding the wrong jerseys, and nobody can say which problem is causing the other.
What fans said
“Herbert looks like the worst QB in the league. The offensive line is completely dysfunctional.”

“Every touchdown the Chargers give up gets us one day closer to them trading Khalil Mack to the #Bears”

“It’s indefensible at this point. Brandon Staley was fired for less.”

“A win is a win. Proud of the #Rams in this one.”

“This is a franchise that clearly exists to just make money. The Spanos family don’t care about winning.”

Spanos, please sell the team. Nothing will change while this family owns the Chargers. Forty-two years of awful coaching hires, front-office decisions and wasted talent. Fouts. Brees. Rivers. Herbert. FOUR Hall of Fame-caliber QBs. Plus Tomlinson, Gates, Seau, Harrison and
