Jim Harbaugh's Chargers 'poorly coached' and other reactions after shocking loss

The Los Angeles Chargers flopped against the Jacksonville Jaguars, to put it kindly.

But the 35-6 beatdown at the hands of a so-so club felt familiar to Chargers fans. For whatever reason, this is a Chargers team that loses big when it decides to lose.

The Chargers are 7-4. But one of those was the 27-10 beatdown at the hands of Washington. They took a 38-24 shellacking at the hands of Indianapolis. And now the 35-6 loss on Sunday before the bye.

Fans? Not thrilled.

Chargers, Jim Harbaugh slammed for ugly loss

The Chargers got weird in Jacksonville. Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman failed Justin Herbert right out of the gates with their personnel decisions. So much so, it was like they hallucinated Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater were still out there.

The result? Just 81 passing yards for Herbert, massive hits and a trip to the blue medical tent. The ground game ran for 2.6 yards per carry.

A usually strong Jesse Minter defense, meanwhile, coughed up four rushing touchdowns.

Chargers fans aren’t calling for coaches to lose their jobs. But the trends of steady play before massive blowouts doesn't exactly have the team looking like a legit contender, either.

Reactions:

Greg Roman's time has passed in the NFL. He's too archaic. Maybe it works if they have a top OLine, but he doesn't help with any easy options.

Nick Cross (Colts Safety who got the INT vs. Chargers in the End Zone) pretty much said he seen the play in Madden.

Cody Barton (LB…

This Chargers team is just inconsistent and poorly coached. There’s no other way to look at it. They went 3-0 and then fumbled away the division, managed to scrape together a winning record and win big against the Steelers in primetime but get dog walked by the Jags the following…

Jim Harbaugh refuses to go for it on 4th and short but doesn’t hesitate to go for it on 4th and 7 ?

They messed up letting Harbaugh bring in his own guys. Greg Roman is stuck with this franchise unless Harbaugh gets fired 🤷‍♂️

I’ve watched Greg Roman have some good game plans, especially with the line issues. Winning game plans. Then he forgets all about the line deficiencies and calls nothing but 22 step drops. Gets lured into a falls sense of security. Greg was calling the game like Joe Alt was out…
