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

It's not possible to blow a lead this big without contributions from everyone.

Everybody did really good the first half so, as a treat, they got a little high during halftime.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
