WTF was that?
No easy way to describe what happened on Sunday, this ugly loss to the Washington Commanders.
All you needed to see was the ‘glazed’ look on the face of coach Jim Harbaugh, running out of ways to avoid using coach-speak to talk about the demise of his team, losing first to the winless NY Giants and then the badly banged up Commanders.
Shell-shocked is about the way to describe QB-Justin Herbert-battered again by a pass rush, betrayed by a sagging offensive line.
Stunning the mess that piled up after the Bolts had a (10-0) lead go away
..Washington had 5-sacks, 6-tackles for loss, 9-hits and a ton of pressures.
..The Commanders sealed the game with a 99-yard TD drive in the 4th quarter.
..Jayden Daniels threw for (231Y)..ran for (66Y) and scrambled well.
..Rookie RB-Bill Merritt grinded out (111Y) in the win
..WR-Deebo Samuel ran open all day (8R-96Y).
..Quinton Johnston fumbled a ball away after a 19Y-catch
..The Chargers wiped out a punt return TD-by Ladd McConkey-penalties
..The Chargers had 24-41 yard pass plays voided by flags
..OT-Trey Pipkens took back to back flags
..The Bolts roughed the punter in the end zone
..There were pass interference penalties and 10-more flags in all
It went on and on.
Herbert made big plays despite taking big hits.
No one else did anything else.
The record may be (3-2) but the last two losses have been gruesome, the injury list keeps growing, and a head coach remains unwilling to call out his team in public. His GM, Joe Hortiz, does not have many options either to go find any offensive lineman unless he is willing to trade a decent draft pick to take on someone else.
Not what we expected. What should have been a (5-0) start has now been stained by an awful loss to a winless Giants team, and then another loss to a Washington team that came across the country with a two game losing streak, and hit the Powder Blue with a Black Eye shot to the face.
Like I said, WTF-Chargers.
