So I...well don't want to go into that bullshit that will make you feel bad.

But you're all in on Herbert from now on (even if it's horrendously unfair to Tyrod who exists to be put in this situation)? I saw no reason not to do that today. I think he'll get more hype than he deserves, but at the same time I saw him do just fine other than one absolutely horrid decision on one hand and on the other make a throw very few people could make that was good.

I was pleasantly surprised with Herbert. He made a few rookie mistakes, but he definitely looked like he belonged. That TD pass, and the 25 yard hookup with Keenan in the 3rd quarter were gorgeous.

The defense player out of its mind and aside from that Tyreek TD, played pretty mkstake free other than the offsides issues. And if you lose on two 58 yard field goals, so be it.

I thought we were gonna lose by 20, so there's that

I can't believe Butker had to kick from 53, 58 and 58 for that final 3 points and drilled all of them

He also made another 58 yarder earlier in the game lol

Yeah assuming this is about the Chiefs I agree. Stupid homers aside no one expects the Chiefs defense to be good. We do expect the offense to be a hell of a lot more than it was.

Ha, just realized Melvin Gordon would have been a useful player today if you guys weren't going to use Ekeler any more than you did.



I really like Josh Kelley, our rookie RB

Herbert also has a lot more talent around him than Burrow does.

Play posted:

Burrow has been getting first team reps all summer and has been preparing to start since being drafted. It's a different situation considering the Bengals don't have anybody to put in front of Burrow and never did whereas the Chargers always planned for Herbert to sit as long as possible.

Personally I'm not saying it's smoke and mirrors at all, in fact it was an amazing debut, but I am saying the coaches probably know better than us how ready he is. And there were some indications that he could use more practice with the first team despite all the good things he did do in the game

How does he get practice with the first team if you're starting tyrod and he takes the first team reps

You wait until next year, like the rest of the Chargers franchise was planning on doing.
