Tua looked bad tonight. I was expecting much more from him.

Herbert's mobility was also on display in this win. Per Next Gen Stats, he evaded a career-high five pressures and completed 13 passes on the run, which is two more than any other player in a game since 2016. This has been an area that Herbert has thrived in all season as he leads the NFL in completions, yards and touchdown passes on the run.

Five pressures? It seemed like 30.

I can't wait until the Chargers get Slater and Pipkins back.

Does Zion seem like he's been regressing recently? He was so stout early on, but recently he's been beaten easily fairly often.

Here's a brazen, ridiculous, nonsense hot take -- The Chargers defense will keep Tua under 120 yards passing, and the Dolphins will not score a TD in the game. Lombardi secretly has play calling duties revoked and given to Shane Day during the game allowing us to open up the passing game, and Jay Rodgers is given more say in defensive calls and scheme. We win, and sing kumbaya.

Staley purposely avoided mentioning Jay Rodgers (unless I missed it) while giving credit to Renaldo Hill in his post-game presser to troll me, but we did see adjustment to scheme today akin to somewhat how the 49ers played their scheme against us, and Fehoko and Dline performed admirably today -- credit to Jay Rodgers. Wilhoite had his linebacker unit play well too. Keep on trolling, Brandon.

Not watching Zion keenly, but I assume he's trying to cover somewhat for Sarrell's deficiencies.

Zion has been pretty bad the past month or so. Teams have film on him now - can he be coached up?

[AZBolt]

Perhaps the best performance by the Bolt’s defensive backfield I can remember.

I love tough, physical man to man coverage.

Don’t concede an inch.

I have been waiting all year for Lombardi to roll out JH frequently, glad he finally started to see the light……perhaps he rib injury had something to do with it…..the past is the past keep Herbert rolling.

Amazing job by Bolts D today, I’m in awe of what they accomplished today….probably the whole nation watching too

im thrilled,,,, keep the momentum flowing …….GoChargers!!

He isnt bad. He was rolled up on a few games back and has been playing hobbled since. Jaimes actually got to play some because of it. His weakness is being a one legged man in an ass kicking contest

[Formula 21]

After an off season, Herbie stepped up tonight and showed the world what he’s got. And it was good, it was real good.

Someone yelled out "light box" at 1:48 while Staley was praising the defense in his post-game locker room speech. Such trolls.

The performance by the Chargers d was a surprise given the injuries to Derwin and Callahan and Day. We all expected a shoot out and they held it down.

so we now go back to the big question of whether and how much injuries can be an excuse. The defense played its best game with key guys out. The offense can’t function without it’s key guys in.
