The Chargers’ 2022 season ended on Saturday night after they lost full grasp of a 27-0 lead, only to be defeated by the Jaguars, 31-30.
What seemed to be a ticket punched to the AFC Divisional Round turned into a ticket back to Los Angeles, where the team now has questions looming surrounding the state of the team, from top to bottom.
Following the Bolts’ loss to Jacksonville, here is how social media reacted.
Justin Herbert deserves better man.
So do Chargers fans. Embarrassing.

Congratulations @SeanPayton. Welcome to Los Angeles as the new coach is the @chargers. There is no way Brandon Staley can keep his job after blowing this lead. Thereās no coming back from this for him!

An all-time playoff loss. It didnāt feel like it as it was happening and then all of the sudden Dicker missed the FG at 30-20 and the blood started coming out of the walls of the Chargers Amityville Horror house. https://t.co/nrffO7seBH

Of all the heartbreaking, awful, soul crushing Chargers moments, this has to be the absolute worst heartbreaking, awful, soul crushing Chargers moment of them all.

Another fan said this to meā¦Itās a good thing that we lost because now the Chargers have to make a coaching change. If we won weād be stuck with them & waste Herbertās best years and a talented roster. Our players deserve better. I can agree with this opinion. ā”ļø

The Chargers just enacted āChargeringā in a way Iām not sure Iāve seen before.
Unreal how that even happened. Zero excuses for the Chargers, unbelievable stuff from the Jaguars.
One of the craziest things Iāve seen happen in the NFL and thatās saying something.

Sean Payton wants the Chargers job. Itās the only job he has really wanted as he watched this season from his home in Manhattan Beach, which is a few miles from where the Chargers are building their new training facility. The question now is how badly do the Chargers want him?

I can't believe what we just watched, and at the same time it's completely predictable.
Chargers did it again.

Herbert wears this in a major way. The Chargers scored three points in the second half. He missed a lay-up TD to Keenan Allen in the second quarter, costing them four points.
Was Herbert the main culprit? No, the coaching is absurd, but Herbert has to take blame too. https://t.co/udfBLYC1LL
