The Lightning Round Podcast#301: The Offense Let The Chargers Down

Garrett and Jamie recap the Chargers Sunday night loss over the San Francisco 49ers on the Lightning Round Podcast: After Hours. They live streamed their reactions about how the Chargers lost and some turning points in that game.

Defensively the Chargers did an admiral job limiting the 49ers top two players makers: Deebo Samuel and George Kittle to 3 catches for 45 yards. They also stifled a lot of big plays on the ground that have plagued them all year. The run defense, even being down Christian Covington and Otito Ogbonnia, held Elijah Mitchell under 85 yards and Christian McCaffrey only averaged 2.7 yards per carry. Most importantly, the Chargers defense gave the team two chances to win at the end of game. It was the offense that lost them this game.

Offensively the Chargers scored 0 points in the second half after having a strong start to the game. The guys talk about the play calling from Joe Lombardi and how Justin Herbert has been reliant on the check downs. They also give record predictions for the end of the season and whether or not it has improved since their predictions at the beginning of the year. Garrett and Jamie share what they would do with the team going forward and how to beat the Chiefs next week so the Chargers don’t fall further down the AFC West standings. That and more is all on the Lightning Round Podcast: After Hours!
