****OFFICIAL Chargers HYPE Megathread****
 

Now that they are a threat, I figure the Chargers need their own repository so we can track how great everyone thinks they are.

They were fortunate enough to win this prestigious award today!

Los Angeles Super Chargers just doesn't have the same ring to it!

hyped to beat them again next year!

wait. the chargers are supposed to be a horse? what is this i don't even

What is a social team?

Kind of odd since they have more fans from other teams in their stadium every game.

the kids who run twitter, facebook and instagram

Perhaps it is because they are such gracious hosts? My future son in law adopted the Chargers when he and my daughter relocated to Pasadena for grad school at Cal Tech a couple years back. He decided on rooting for the Chargers over the Rams. He has already soured a bit on Staley and his approach to in game situations. My daughter has stayed true to her hometown team and is thoroughly enjoying how the season has played out so far....

Wait, they're staying home for the playoffs? That doesn't seem very social to me!

Head Coach is a Head Case

They are clearly winning the offseason so far

A hearty congratulations to next year’s prognosticated Super Bowl champions!

By comparison, 14 other teams haven’t even started their offseason yet.

Chargers are ahead of the curve.

How can this be? We have Jackson Mahomes, he's socialer than Chargers fans.

Who?

Congrats to the Chargers.
Now get the **** away from me.

All seven of their fans are celebrating

LMAO

Every offseason it’s the same ****ing thing

I know the regular season is about to start because the chargers are the favorite to win the division. then around week 6 it becomes obvious they are in the process of shitting the bed.

it's my favorite time of year

The same fall candy apple on a steek. Two bites, the apple is very green & goes into the trash

First year the Chargers won't be preseason Super Bowl Champ favorites in 22 years. Boy have the Chiefs gotten good!

Yeah, I was gonna say how this is the first off-season in many years where I haven't heard any crying about the Chargers getting a tiny bit of media praise.
This is a good omen.

2 pages. ROFL

It used to be a thread for every article, soooo...

Boltman sounds like a really lame Mega Man boss

I guess, to be fair. There really is a lot smoke going on out there every summer

Um...that's a little cringey...Here's a touching photo of our silly ass mascot having a moment of reflection for Jr. Seau...

Hiding face(seriously) moment, turned into promo

-ooch

Did they show where he went to the hall of trophies and didn’t see a single one for the Sharters?

Will no media hype= Charger success this season?

Or the less popular brother of Duff Man.

What the **** is social team of the year LMAO

I remember the camera showing him dancing and trying to pump up the crowd right before Brady converted that huge 3rd and long to beat them in the playoffs during Marty’s 14-2 season.

SO GRITTY LMAO

Chargers only giving up 3 points to the Titans on Sunday.
I know it's the Chargers but it's also the Titans.
What am I missing??

LAC defense can’t stop the run.

Derrick Henry

Just a guess. Haven’t seen the injury report yet

Kenneth Murray looked like shit in that game. Not sure why CP was obsessed with him in that draft.

Staley is a clown that they should have fired. He's a DC that was handed really good defensive talent and his defense sucks. He's massively overrated.

Haha, man that is pathetic.

Chargers/Dolphins was pretty much the only entertaining game on last week. Well, unless you count the clown show that was Bills/Jets. But that's a different kind of entertaining.

That team if their defense can even be ok they can sneak into the playoffs.

Kellen Moore seems to have committed that they are going to run more, Josh Kelley finally looked like an NFL player giving Ekeler a lighter load..their OL actually run blocked pretty well.

If they continue that aspect of what they showed they can win 10-11 games and get in.

Herbert is anti-clutch.

The idea would be if you are splitting 30-35 productive touches between 2 RBs, he won't have to be clutch for them to win most weeks.

They lost that game because some genius thought singling up Tyreek a bunch of times was a good idea...newsflash it's not.

While it is early, I think I can comfortably say that the Chargers are already playing for their lives this week vs MIN. MIN will also be playing for their lives.

They have the Cowboys and Chiefs coming up in the next month and could possibly be facing being 1-5 after the Chiefs beat them. I don't think they can climb out of a 1-5 hole.

I'm sure they'll play JJ in single coverage with either a gimpy or absent Bosa.

I love Brandon Staley.

It's an interesting thought. CLE and BAL are in the drivers seat and CIN almost in the same boat if they lose to the Rams next Monday.

Wow, Bosa and Burrow are gimpy. Man oh man.

I am just stunned...I tell ya...stunned that the Chargers arent good. Flabbergasted! No way you could have predicted this!

So the offseason champs aren't doing so good when the games count? Inconceivable!

Damn, yeah, I just checked and you’re right. I think they’re better than the Vikings but both franchises seem to have a knack for ripping defeat from the jaws of victory so I wouldn’t be shocked either way. Either way, could easily see 2-2 in the next four games.

Lucky for them, they have the Bears and Jets immediately after that stretch.

If everything goes as you’d imagine, they’ll probably be looking at 5-3 before hitting the final stretch:

DET
@GB
BAL
@NE
DEN
@LV
BUF
@DEN
@KC

It’s a long season and things change. The Chargers are also a strange team. They’ll probably lose one or two you’d expect them to win and then turn around to beat a contender like the Ravens or Bills.

I’d expect them to land around 10-7.

Nobody, including www.chiefsplanet.com really cares about the Chargers. Media darlings for sure, but the whole LA experiment seems to have failed.

Their defense just isn't very good it seems so I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets beat them. The Jets defense is really good.

If they don't atleast go 2-2 the next 4, Staley and company are all getting fired.

Watched highlights of the Chargers game this morning since I missed it all during the Chiefs game yesterday. A few takeaways:

1. Herbert looks good, but not seeing the downfield passing game that Kellen Moore was supposed to bring. Seems like the reason is they don't have time before the pass rush gets there.
2. No running game without Ekeler. I think what we saw last week with the Chargers running game looking great was probably more about the Dolphins defense.
3. Titans had some deep passes that were pretty well defended but WRs just made great plays.
4. Derwin James should have a fine coming his way for a cheap shot helmet to helmet against a defenseless WR.

Derwin James out with a hamstring injury as well. As I type this Jefferson housed a 52 yard pass through the middle of the field where James should be.

In case you missed it in the game today, Staley went for it on 4th down from their own 24-yard line while up 28-24 with a few minutes left in the game.

I really wish the Vikings were worth a shit and made him pay for that terrible decision.

We’re lucky Choke Cousins didn’t win it for the Bikings, otherwise Staley shoukd have been summarily fired in the locker room after the game for yet another asinine decision. What a tool.

Welp...

oooof.

Quinten Johnston, come on down.

Mike Williams cap hit is scheduled to be $32m next year. I’d imagine he took his last snap as a Charger yesterday.

Mike Williams out for the year, Ekeler injured, Derwin James with hamstring issues, Bosa will likely be injured soon... typical Chargers.

Kid Sheldon is an incredibly bad decision maker. The Vikings should have made him pay dearly for that. If that didn't work out that would be a fire-able, day of game, epic miscalculation. And this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.
Really bad.

Edit: Holy dog shit, an online program and $300 fine. That's it.

Henry Ruggs could’ve afforded an Uber

Is that why Jackson was a healthy scratch yesterday?

I assumed it was just because he sucks.

Last I heard he was behind Josh Palmer on the depth chart and when Williams was out it was Palmer in...Johnston got 2 targets in a game Mike Williams got injured in.
