NFL community ridicules Chargers after awful performance

After an abysmal display from the Los Angeles Chargers, the NFL community was rife with criticism for the players and their head coach Brandon Staley. It looked as if Staley was made the scapegoat after this defeat, considering that his job was already on the line.

One user commented, “If Brandon Staley isn’t fired tomorrow then his chances of having the job in 2024 grow exponentially. If they were serious about firing him, it would happen after this game. The Chargers haven’t fired a coach before their fourth season since 2001.” while another quipped, “Brandon Staley shouldn’t have been allowed back in the building after last season. it was clear then … and it’s very clear now — he ISN’T the head coach this talented Chargers team needs or deserves”

Some others also hurled abuses at the outfit as a whole, with the opinions going viral in no time. What are your thoughts on this game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders? Let us know in the comments.
