Chargers fans have had enough of Bud Dupree after Week 8 win

There was a lot to like about the Los Angeles Chargers’ 26-8 takedown of the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.

One of the things that doesn’t qualify, it seems, is edge defender Bud Dupree.

Dupree has steadily drawn the ire of Chargers fans over the course of his first season with the team. The former first-round pick has struggled to the tune of a 38.5 PFF grade on a rotational basis.

Things seemed to boil overboard on Sunday for the fanbase when Dupree had a few mistakes, including a critical roughing-the-passer penalty that wiped a game-sealing interception off the board.

On a day of so many positives, it was Dupree getting the negative reactions from Chargers fans:

Bud Dupree needs to be banned from the field, man.

Every week, he's allowing big plays to happen at an alarming clip. What we just saw on that Kamara run is so far past inexcusable.

Not Elijah Molden’s day.

Had an interception earlier that was called incomplete and on the last play of the game gets another taken away by a Bud Dupree roughing the passer.

Incredibly foolish penalty from Bud Dupree wipes out Elijah Molden’s game sealing interception.

Bud Dupree had Alvin Kamara for a TFL but went for the strip and let him escape for a big gain.

Bud Dupree has not finished a single play this season

How many times do I have to bring up Bud Dupree? An absolute boneheaded penalty for spearing Jake Haener with his helmet rips ANOTHER interception from Elijah Molden.

Why did Bud Dupree just headbutt buddy for no reason 😂😂😂
