Chargers Daily Links: End of season grief thread

Story byMichael PetersonMon, January 12, 2026 at 2:50 PM UTC·3 min readGood morning, Chargers fans!I truly don’t have the words after last night’s loss to the Patriots. An elite performance by the defense was completely overshadowed by a worst-case scenario for Justin Herbert and the offense. I’ve spent so much time on social media since the game end that I simply feel that anything else I have to say is redundant at this point.

Key Highlights

  • So underwhelming and unprepared that anything less than some major changes would be yet another gigantic slap in the face of the fan base in regards to what they so rightfully deserve. Since Jim Harbaugh was hired in 2024, some things have changed for the better.
  • There absolutely has been a culture shift in the building.
  • That’s a great start and a foundational piece of building this team into what it wants to be, but this season showed exactly where there is still a notable shortfall. It happened under Brandon Staley and it’s seemingly happening right now under Harbaugh.
  • A decision to hire an offensive coordinator NOT because it’s what is best for Herbert, but because there’s familiarity and a friendship there, is once again backfiring on the franchise and further wasting the prime years of a franchise quarterback. The change from Joe Lombardi came too late.
  • The only thing stopping the Roman decision from being “too late” for Harbaugh is due to the amount of wins he’s earned these first two seasons.
