I called it as soon as you guys scored going into the half. I looked at my wife and said “they’re gonna fuck this up”

Got the kids fed and bathed and the jaguars were within 3 points of taking the lead. Went and played some Tarkov, checked my phone about an hour later to see that we’d lost. I know I’m peak chargers fan because I was neither surprised nor upset. This is chargers football. Poor Herbert.

Not a charger fan trying to wrap around my head around this stat no way you should lose if you got no turnovers 100% defense fault period

Someone bet 1.4 million dollars on the chargers winning at half time. Potential payout if he was right was only like $11k because the odds were so likely.

Aside from the video game, we're twins. 2 min before the half I said, "If they score, the Chargers will find a way to blow this." It was like a work of art. 40 years of not making adjustments while opponents do...

I still can’t believe the jags were able to come back , it was super impressive since the first half of the game was awful for them with Trevor Lawrence throwing 4 INTS

Chargers got 17 points off turnovers, from what I can tell, all in the first half. They outscored also the Jaguars 27-7 in the first half. The second half, different story, Jaguars score 24 points in the second half of the game, Chargers score 3 and miss a FG.

Why'd the Chargers lose? Abandoned the run. Herbert was 25/43. Probably should have mixed at least 10 more runs into the play calls. They had the lead for the majority of the game, 10 runs is about another 5 minutes of possession time, that could have put a lot of extra pressure on Jacksonville, but instead the clock stood still after a ton of incomplete passes.

Play calling is the issue, IMO.

We must be triplets. Because right before the score I texted my Buddy, “Time to make Herbert feel like Matt Ryan.” While I wasn’t as certain as either of you- I felt something was brewing.

I’m a Jags fan, btw.

Dude probably saw it as a guaranteed "investment". Way to make a cool $11k since it was nearly a sure thing

But just wait until someone tells him how much he could have made off of $1.4 million if he dropped it in an even less risky CD

*(with current interest rates...over $60k a year, easily)

I decided to give it a look after reading your comment. I know I responded to the other user though and thought I commented in r/NFL before you replied.

Did watch the first half, had condensed game in the morning.

Well now it’s obviously 0%…right?!? Hahaha Like next time a team is up 4 turnovers, they just drop any potential interceptions and stareat the ball after fumbles until the fumbling team recovers hahaha!!

So I had bet on the Jags before the game, got like +110 or something and I genuinely tried to live bet and double down when they were down 27-0 but my book wasn't offering a line sadly

Enough with the outrages stats already. It’s getting out of control and unneeded. First professional player out of LSU with the number 3, under the age of 24, to catch X amount of passes in the first half of the season, while rushing for X amount of yards during the second half of the season. WTF cares!

When a game is that one sided the bookie usually takes an entire 0 off the odds as their commission. For example you would get -10000 on the winning team but only +1000 on the losing team

So what you're saying is.. Jacksonville was the better team but only fell behind 27 to nothing because they kept turning the ball over? Like, the Chargers were way out of their league?

This one’s not too bad. Turnovers are usually how you make comebacks happen, so greatest 0-turnover comeback has some meaning.

Not nearly as egregious as something like:

> Luka is the only player under 23 to average 40/8/7/3 for a 5-game span

Where points, assists, rebounds, steals, age, and number of games are all largely unrelated stats, and thus giving you six degrees of freedom to make almost any stat line unique.

I could feel it coming. The offense was stalling and the turnovers likely weren't going to keep coming. I still expected the Chargers to win, but i thought the Jaguars would come back. It took so many huge mistakes. Joey Bosa should be absolutely ashamed of himself.

Yeah I actually kinda like this one, it taught me something new. So much better than the Luka example, which I feel like the NBA is rife with.

Though it is the 5th largest comeback of all time, so it's not really all that hard to find one thing to add to make it the biggest comeback with [x modifier] lol.

Wisdomlost t1_j4pv4rs wrote

I missed the start of the game so when I turned it on was when Lawrence threw his 3rd pick. The first thing I thought was wait Lawrence has thrown 3 picks now and the chargers only have 10 points? That's really not good. I never believed the jags would come back and win it but after seeing that I knew they definitely had a chance.

You can look at the drive chart; it’s pretty amazing. Starting w 3:11 in the 2nd quarter and the Chargers w the 27-0 lead and the ball, the drives are:

Chargers, 3 plays, punt; Jaguars, 7 plays, TD; C, 7p, Punt; J, 14p, TD; C, 7p, FG; J, 5p, TD; C, 14p, missed FG; J, 9p, TD; C, 3p, punt; J, 10p, game winning FG.

Complete collapse on both sides of the ball.

It wasn’t just 17 points off turnovers. It was 17 points on drives that started in the red zone. They had 3 drives go for a total of 35 yards and scored 17 points on those 3 drives. Outside of that, the offense put up 13 points. This game is mostly on the offense.

Couldn’t score a TD when they started the drive 6 yards out.

Bad snap on 3rd and 1 near the end of the first half. Jags never should have gotten that ball back and scored the first TD.

First drive of the second half: 3 straight incompletions that took a total of 14 seconds off the clock.

Nearly abandoning the run. From the time that they went up 27-0 to the end of the game, they only called 7 run plays. That’s inexcusable. Even a few more runs would have run the clock down and put more pressure on Jacksonville.

johnjohnsonsdickhole t1_j4qlgc3 wrote

Everybody is blaming the defense but this is clearly on the chargers offense.

We couldn’t score except on multiple short fields. Then, we couldn’t even garner enough first downs to run down the clock with a 4 possession lead, let alone score the 4 points required to win it. The defense is going to break at some point when the offense gets THAT many possessions.

The chargers were bad all game. Couldn’t do a single thing unless we literally handed them the ball near the goal line. Once we stopped doing that it went how it should have the whole game.

Jags outscored the Chargers 31-3 the chargers got 5 turnovers with I wanna say 3 of them resulting in great field position.

All they needed was 1 TD in the ENTIRE SECOND HALF and the jags have to get a TD instead of a field goal to win.

How can you put that solely on the D?

The Jags did a similar thing to the cowboys several weeks ago. Down 21-3 IIRC and came back to win 40-36 or something like that.

If they can play a complete game they could give the chiefs a run for their money. Granted that’s a big IF.

Replying to acromaine (#1,388,942)

That's a little revisionist and disingenuous. It's always tough to move the ball in the red zone because the field is condensed and there's less to defend and they were mostly the ones making the plays to get the the takeaways on defense (save for the ball off the helmet). And you can only go as far as the end zone on any drive so you shouldn't hold the starting position against them on those drives.

The fact is they were still outgaining the jags 170-50 when they went up 27-0, even with all those short fields limiting their potential to gain yards (16 and a 18 yard TD drives). If they were bad, what were the jags? They definitely weren't perfect, but calling them bad the whole game is pretty stupid. Jags also were aided by two big in-game injuries to the chargers that affected their second half (LT on offense and their best CB on defense).

Chargers never change. On paper & in regular season play a good team. And then come the playoffs.

Once many seasons ago they had league's best TE, best RB, good wideouts & a good QB and still couldn't get anywhere.

If there is a paper tiger in the NFL its the chargers.
