Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

I think we’ve had a lead in 8 out of our 9 games with under 4 minutes to play this season.

We’re 4-5.

[–] Thel_Odan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Chargers have assumed the role of the Same Old Lions.

[–] BugO_OEyes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The chargers defense has been killing yall this year you guys should be like 6-3

[–] foodbard12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

bolt up! (your eyes)

[–] TheMemeStar24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

it's alright buddy, our teams will figure out how to finish games at some point

I feel like this is on brand for the Chargers. You're usually a good team that's horribly mismanaged.

We wouldn’t be the Chargers without Chargering

[–] SerenadeSwift@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s wild how no matter how much of a shitshow our team is we almost always somehow end up slightly better than the Chargers. I always expect us to be like 5-12 while they’re 12-5 but here we are.

[–] bunnibly@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And, the Vikings totally Chargered their game versus the Chargers, which was interesting to see another team Chargering against the Chargers.

[–] Infamous_Ad9839@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We are 15 points away from being 8-1.

[–] CopeHarders@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How has Kellen Moore been for you guys? Serious non-trolling question. Just wondering if he got a hot start then cooled down.

[–] Quatro_Leches@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

that's just chargering

[–] jfkgoblue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think the Chargers are the most talented team overall in the AFC, but your coach is an idiot

I feel like the Eagles keep teams in games a lot. I can't even imagine being a Chargers fan

[–] Royal---Flush@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So the upcoming game against the Ravens is going to be "who throws the 4th harder"?

[–] ElCunado619@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

So just a normal Charger season then?

[–] Coltsbro84@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Even when Rivers was playing they were RedZone challenged.

Reigning, defending, undisputed offseason Champs for what, 10 years running?

Until you guys KO'd them taking the title and are running with it (so far)

[–] SaintArkweather@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most of these stereotypes of teams are really only true for a few years and then the narrative will change, but the Chargers have been playing this way for decades. Truly is a spectacle.

[–] ElCunado619@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I spent twenty years rooting for the Dolts in San Diego and it was always the same story. My personal favorite was when they had the number 1 offense and defense and still missed the playoffs. Now L.A. fans get to deal with that bullshit and probably will deal with it while that goon Spanos owns the team.

[–] TB1289@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Best team of the 2000s to not win dick.

[–] Karellacan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, but be honest. Parts of your coaching staff belong at 4-5.

Also, were we the first team to not let you have the lead under 4 minutes (or at all)? Damn.

[–] Dragondrew99@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As a Lions fan I feel your pain. I get it. You’ll be ok, you guys have talent you just need the right staff to fully utilize it.

[–] pickleparty16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I saw a stat today that was win probability added by opponents dropping interceptions, dropping their own passes, missing field goals, and fumble recoveries (either team). By that combined the metric the chargers were the luckiest team in the league

[–] SlapHappyDude@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The question is if it is bad luck or bad coaching.

[–] rcap1977@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m generally indifferent on the Chargers, but I am a Herbert fan and I’ve watched quite a few of his games since he’s come into the league. The dude should absolutely have been in the playoffs in every season of his career. The way the Chargers lose games is absolutely inexplicable. Staley is a disaster.

[–] f1engineering@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds really familiar to the Phillip Rivers era...Good QB that just can't get a winning team around him

[–] DoktorTakt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. We almost always almost win.

[–] Diemonx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Chargers are really better than their record but they are also really worst than their record.
