I still want to see whether Mike Williams was out of bounds at the 4 yard line yesterday

After reading that Popper article posted above, I get the feeling the internal dissention is going to get ugly.
2-6 currently, following a 5-11 season record.......only a Spanos run club keeps that.

I know the refs are screwing us. I just want to know how badly they’re screwing us

Few thoughts on article, game and future: 1. Agreed Herbert's development is a priority, but only 1B. 1A is winning f**king games. 2. Save yourself some emotional heartbreak and just come to terms that Lynn ain't getting fired this season. Chargers are not going to playoffs, so more losses equal better draft position which in theory equal better talent, especially backup talent. For the record, I am not a fan of losing games for draft picks. 3. The potential return of Derwin James won't erase the fact that SOMEONE ELSE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE TEAM is going to get hurt next year. It happens EVERY SEASON!!! 4. Gus Bradley will probably get fired because SOMEONE HAS TOO. Maybe the special teams coach goes first. 5. Be honest. Who in this forum believed the Charges would actually win that game? You all know AND EXPECTED, either a fumble, an interception, a stop inches from the goal line or the clock to simply run out. I know I did and hate admitting that every game I come to expect another soul-crushing loss. That said, I still keep coming back because I'm a true Chargers Fan. I have hope for the future and trust that a BleuMoon will rise victorious in my life time. Go Bolts!

I am very proud and impressed ( and admittedly, surprised!) at how well Herbert has played. My worry now is he may get physically hurt behind the wall of shame offensive line of the Chargers. I'm only just slightly concerned with how his mental health may suffer in the culture of losing surrounding this team, and its staff that is so crippled by failure they become paralyzed in the final minutes and vapidly stutter out bad decisions.

I think they made reasonably solid decisions in the final minutes yesterday. I was stunned that MW was called in bounds, and that kept the clock moving. Bolts still had two very close plays, either of which would have given them the win. Both of those calls by the refs at the end were good calls. In the end, beat up D, lacking talented OL, and an average HC were far too much to overcome. None of which gets fixed before season ends.

Another thing......Herbert isn't going to be 'ruined' by any of this.

Popper’s latest. INGLEWOOD, Calif. — <snip> As the head coach, Lynn is responsible for the team’s losses. In that same vein, though, he also is responsible for the good developments, like Herbert’s rise. I would attribute Herbert is rising on his own, not because of Lynn. If anyone is to get credit for Herbert's rapid rise, it is Pep and the team doctor's bad needlework. I do think Lynn deserves some credit for our plug & play running game. We are taking cast off players from a loser team and they shine in this system. I bet Lynn has a lot to do with that. Popper’s latest. INGLEWOOD, Calif. — <snip> Continuity is absolutely essential to success for a young quarterback early in his career. The lack of continuity was Herbert's norm in college. I think he would be used to change. He certainly adapted to the NFL quickly.

Its inevitable with the line and the way he fails to protect himself outside the pocket... This needs to be fixed ASAP! The evidence is him losing a snap in the final play of the 2nd quarter. It will happen again and the next time may not be so minor.

Have any of you seen the Marcus Peters INT of Rivers? In what universe is that a catch and Parham’s not a catch?

Its a complete freak show every week. Finding new ways to lose is in an art form right now. Memo to Lynn: You are not successful in the NFL if you are competitive; you are successful when you W_I_N.
