The misery just keeps piling up for Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers, man. They slumped to a brutal 0-7 record on Sunday after a totally lackluster 24-9 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s tough to watch, seriously.
The Offense Is A Mess, But Harbaugh Won’t Budge
The offense was straight-up brutal again, everyone saw it. They couldn’t get anything going, scoring only nine points against the Rams. But after the game, Harbaugh dropped a bomb: he’s still sticking with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Can you believe it? The team is 0-7, the offense is sputtering, and the head coach is doubling down. It’s hard to wrap your head around that loyalty right now.
Herbert’s Turnovers Are Piling Up, And So Is The Frustration
Nothing is clicking for the Chargers, especially on the offensive side of the ball. On Sunday, they only managed a measly 64 rushing yards. Quarterback Justin Herbert threw a pair of interceptions, bringing his season total to a shocking 10 picks through seven games. And the dude himself knows it’s bad. “That’s part of the game…,” Herbert told reporters about his turnover issues. “I’d love to have played better and made better decisions, but I haven’t.” That’s a rough quote to hear, especially when your team is winless.
Remember that wild play? At the end of the first half, Ladd McConkey somehow caught a Hail Mary that bounced right out of Quentin Johnston’s hands, but he was stopped literally inches short of scoring. Just inches! It feels like that play pretty much sums up their whole season right now: close, but never quite getting there.
It’s getting harder by the week to see McDaniel surviving this offensive mess for much longer. The numbers just aren’t there. But for now, Harbaugh is standing by his guy, even as the Chargers dig themselves deeper into this 0-7 hole. What’s it gonna take for something to change? We’ll have to wait and see what happens next with this Chargers squad.
