Fresh off their bye, many thought the Chargers made the necessary changes after the blowout loss to the Ravens when they took the field against the Patriots.
After trading touchdowns early on, the same mistakes continued to bite the Bolts, with those being lack of early-down execution, the run defense, punt coverage unit, dropped passes, and penalties.
Furthermore, quarterback Justin Herbert was not at his best for the second straight week, as he was held a completion percentage of nearly 50 and was picked off twice.
With that said, here’s a look at how the general population reacted following Los Angeles’ 27-24 loss to New England:

Stay positive chargers Twitter ⚡️ if you’re a bandwagon, don’t even tweet when we win again when y’all are shook at a loss. Y’all are providing all the negative energy.

Despite all the concerns, it’s highly likely the Chargers win today were it not for a miscommunication that ended in a fluke interception for TD. Two of this team’s three losses have been pretty close to pretty good teams. #BoltUp

Outplayed, outcoached @Chargers

I’m just saying, the past two weeks the Chargers have looked like the worst offense in the NFL. https://t.co/uRQvzjUexy

FINAL: Patriots 27, #Chargers 24
A really concerning performance from Justin Herbert and the LAC offense. Garbage time TD made the numbers look better than they were. Some serious work to do. Chargers fall to 4-3 on the season. They have lost two games in a row.

The Chargers fixed one problem: Kicker (I hope), which had nothing to do with coaching. Maybe returner, TBD.
Otherwise, their problems before the BYE are their same after it. First down offense. Run defense. STs. Drops. Penalties.
Bad look right now.
