“CHARGERING…THE REAL BOLTS”
========

Chargering…You know, losing games they should not lose at the wrong time of the year.

I told you this was coming, and it has.

The Chargers, with a battered quarterback, a struggling offensive line, a collapsing defense, and a bunch of false platitudes, have fallen on hard times.

Yes the NFL standings today show them (8-6) and hanging on to the last wildcard playoff slot.

It will show you 3-losses in the last 4-games.

It should really be a worse slide than that, the aftermath of the torch job Tampa Bay did on them on Sunday at So Fi Stadium, that sounded more like a Bucs home game, than a game in Los Angeles.

Baker Mayfield was brilliant.  Throwing laser shot fastball passes everywhere, finishing with (288P-4TD), running his season count to 32-TD passes.

#13 is not an unlucky number,unless you have to cover him.  When Mike Evans was done with the Bolts secondary, he had (9R-159Y) thru the air.

And Bucky Irving, the rookie RB-from Oregon muscled his way for 117R-as Tampa piled up (222R) in a 505-yard offensive day.

Justin Herbert got rocked, sacked, hurried.  No points in the second half, standing on the sidelines watching Tampa reel off 27-straight points in a terrible homefield beat down.

It was an awful day.  Herbert’s NFL streak of 357-straight passes without a pick,   is over,picked off in the 3rd quarter.  He was sacked 3-times, took 6-hits and 5-pressures and was overwhelmed, without a running game and with shoddy protection upfront.

Guilty parties everywhere.  Anybody hear Joey Bosa-Khalil Mack’s name mentioned?

Quit praising  Kris Fulton, who gave up 6-passes and a TD.  Derwin James fame never showed up Sunday either, 3-missed tackles, blown coverages and a TD allowed.  Tarheeb Still got roasted on a TD pass by Evans.

The Bucs skewered Jesse Minter’s defense for 13-chunk plays including dagger in the heart plays of 21-22-24-35-26-35-54-57 yards.

So much for the Jim Harbaigh sales pitches about changing culture, the defensive toughness, the brilliance of his QB and all the other things said in this suddenly in trouble season.

I said a month ago, prove to me how good you are, now that you are playing someone.  Joe Burrow of the Bengals and Kirk Cousins of Atlanta should have beaten them.  Baltimore punched them in the mouth, the Steelers slugged them, Kansas City took alot out of them at Arrowhead, and now big play after big play by Tampa Bay and their flame throwing QB.  They should have a 5-game losing streak.

Next week Denver, which has 9-wins, can you believe that, 9-wins, comes to town.  Followed by dreadful New England and the even worse Raiders.

The Chargers should win all 3-if they can round up enough healthy players to put on the field.  But it is an unimpressive, beat up, struggling team, regardless of what Harbaugh says in his next tent revival press conference.

I fear this has become the real Chargers team.  Not enough solid players around a QB-who is taking a fierce pounding Sunday after Sunday.

You can call it Chargering if you want.  I will just say team in trouble.  And by the way, they play on a short work week-Thursday night against Denver.

And maybe the real words should be said now.  Playoff team that will be 1-and-done.
