He had a great first season for us and the nickname actually was around for longer than this sub realizes. We quite liked it until he sucked ass the next year
If by super wild card weekend you mean week 18 to the 7-9 Broncos in a win-and-in game, then yes. You'll still be the favorite for the wild card spot until the bills somehow lose to the pats creating a three way tie that you lose on conference record.
He’s definitely not the *only* reason, just the most glaring one. Chargers still should’ve won the game, despite all the boneheaded mistakes.
Some other reasons:
Marty stopped running LT in the 2nd half after he had over 100 rushing yards in the first
Eric Parker muffed punt return and dropped 3rd down catch
Drayton Florence headbutt on 3rd down which gave the pats a new set of downs
Nate kaeding being Nate kaeding in the playoffs
Rivers did not play well (I blame a lot of it on the play calling)
the 16 game season has sexy records. Records that made sense. 11-6? Idgaf about your work hours man we're talking football here! ***16*** games, ***32*** teams, ***4*** teams per ***4*** divisions in each conference. The math felt good. It was raw and real. 17 games isn't even an even number.
I miss it :'(
Roger has no patience for your half measures. Straight to 32 games! Teams must now field 108 man rosters in order to play with their 7th string come playoffs.
Hey, it was one less loss for your Lions every year, too. I can understand why you long for the good ole days. (As a 20 year recovering former Browns fan I can say this because I know your pain.) Go get em Lions!
The Chargers have proven that LA can definitely support two teams at the same time
The Rams and *insert whatever team the Chargers are playing this week*
It really is. I remember watching the Steelers play the Chargers in San Diego a while back. On TV, it sounded like a home game for the Steelers. BRUTAL.
With the new scheduling format you can actually win 12 road games in one season. Probably won’t ever happen but is a neat fact
You’d need to be in the conference that plays nine road games and win them all, but still lose enough home games to be a wild card. Then win 3 road games to make the super bowl.
Wow, I can't believe I've never seen this one.
This absolutely demonstrates the importance of solid special teams play. Best offense and best defense in the league, but start the season 2-5? Yikes.
Hey man, at least you got to see your team in the Super Bowl twice in your time. I know you didn't get the outcome you'd have preferred, but at least you made it to the big game.
In my entire Lions fandom I've only seen them win one single playoff game, and I was only 8 years old when it happened.
Been downhill ever since.
The last time you guys drafted a 1st round qb your oline and medical staff treated him so bad that he retired in his prime. You have no room to talk, my friend.
"You look at a guy like Kobayashi, okay? He breaks the hotdogs in half, and he dips them in the water, and, you know, it's the little things,"
\-Nick Sirianni
Could you imagine if he played with Baltimore Ravens legend Lorenzo Neal? I bet they'd win a super bowl!
(As the chargers have always been my AFC team, this pains me to write)
Growing up in San Diego county I hated the chargers. When I graduated in 2016 I moved to LA County, stupid fuckin team followed me. Spanos stop fucking following me!
A lot of people rag on the Chargers for "abandoning" San Diego, but as a Raiders fan I know better than most that "where you play" doesn't really matter much if you have a strong culture.
And say what you will about the Bolts, the Chargers culture is so strong that even with a young, hotshot QB, brilliant head coach, and some outright scary A-list players, they still continue the Chargers legacy by having no fans and not making the playoffs.
I wanted the structure of the joke to reflect the structure of every Chargers season where there's a lot of build up only for it to end in the same old punchline.
The best player in Chargers history is LT and he's not even the best LT.
Also you guys should've stayed in SD. I don't have a roast for that, I just hate that you moved to LA
I love the homage to The Fifth Element the Chargers are doing to reach out to their movie industry fans. In the Fifth Element, the protagonist (Korben Dallas) never interacts with the antagonist(Zorg). Likewise, Justin Herbert has never interacted with The Chargers’ biggest antagonist, the playoffs.
The Chargers are loaded with talent with a great qb like ~~Hadl~~ ~~Fouts~~ ~~Humphries~~ ~~Brees~~ ~~Rivers~~ Herbert, they are sure to win the Super Bowl!
I remember a long time ago on a Madden game when the Chargers scored the announcer would sing “SAN DEIGOOOO SUPER CHARGERS” in this weird voice. That’s it, that’s the roast.
The HoF game day is the perfect day to roast the Chargers, it's pretty much the same as their whole season.
Before it kicks off you're excited but by the time you are half way through you are wondering who the fuck are half of the players and by the time it ends you just feel relieved.
Roasting Rivers today is also the closest he'll get to the hall too.
All the great potential in this roast. Surely the one to watch this year. Just like last year
And the year before that
And the one before that
You know what maybe don’t get your hopes up for this one
The Chargers could shock the world. I mean,look at Justin Herbert! Man's proving everyone wrong. Everyone knows the pieces. O-linemen like Slater and Lindsey. Underrated running back Austin Ekeler. The acquisitions of Khali Mack and JC Jackson! Look at those pieces and tell me they don't have potential. And that's why they could surprise people. Check the first letter of every sentence.

It's a lot easier like this.
Because it allowed the Raiders to eliminate you on a field goal.
A field goal is when the kicker kicks the ball through the uprights.
It's something I have to explain to Chargers fans because they're not used to seeing their team do it.
This entire thread is wrong! We're going to win it all this year!! We're getting 14 wins, going to the playoffs, winning the AFC Champ-... ...
...
...
...
-ionship then winning the Super Bowl!!
Sorry for that long pause. As a Chargers fan, I'm trying to get used to taking timeouts at inappropriate times.
Like many others before them, the Chargers moved to LA with bright hopes and dreams just to see said dreams be crushed before their very eyes. Now they're yet another nobody face in the crowd who has to crash on their friend's couch to get by.
It's tragic, really.
Justin Herbert takes my breath away. Hopefully your medical staff doesn’t take his.
Any comeback to this is going to miss worse than the “money badger”
Wait, was there an attempt for someone’s nickname to be money badger?
Lmao dude their former kicker Michael badgley I think it was. He made a clutch kick or two, then went downhill.
He had a great first season for us and the nickname actually was around for longer than this sub realizes. We quite liked it until he sucked ass the next year
i believe it was almost immediately after he tried to trademark it is when his career actually started going down hill
Never trademark a nickname, as it will all go downhill.
Right, just trademark phrases, like Let Russ Cook
What's weird is that he was great for the Colts for the most part.
Michael Badgely, yeah lol
Insert top gun music
This is the one. Enshrine it.
Herbert was studying biology in college and planned on going to medical school if football didn't work out. Are we sure it was the staff?
Not even sure I would mind if Herbert turned out to be a diabolical villain.
He’s dreamy enough to get away with it
The doc prescribed a new QB1 for the team. [Meet the Charger's doc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wcI10CNuxU)
Justin Herbert has given Chargers fans new hope that they can go 13-3 and lose in the divisional
Jokes on you. It'll be 14-3 and an excruciating loss on Super Wild Card Weekend.
If by super wild card weekend you mean week 18 to the 7-9 Broncos in a win-and-in game, then yes. You'll still be the favorite for the wild card spot until the bills somehow lose to the pats creating a three way tie that you lose on conference record.
This one hurt
Its still weird how the bills are favored against the pats now
Staley gets fired after JC Jackson fumbles a game sealing INT return vs the Patriots Everyone blames Marlon McCree for existing
I would vomit, shit myself, and die on the spot if that happens again.
I just hope the first two for the laughs. Not the third.
I know this is a comedy thread but was Marlon McCree the one and only reason they lost that game?
He’s definitely not the *only* reason, just the most glaring one. Chargers still should’ve won the game, despite all the boneheaded mistakes. Some other reasons: Marty stopped running LT in the 2nd half after he had over 100 rushing yards in the first Eric Parker muffed punt return and dropped 3rd down catch Drayton Florence headbutt on 3rd down which gave the pats a new set of downs Nate kaeding being Nate kaeding in the playoffs Rivers did not play well (I blame a lot of it on the play calling)
Pretty much. That int would have iced the game. Because he didn’t it gave the patriots first down and the opportunity to get back in the game.
We’re playing 17 games now. 13-4. They’re no 14-3 team!
the 16 game season has sexy records. Records that made sense. 11-6? Idgaf about your work hours man we're talking football here! ***16*** games, ***32*** teams, ***4*** teams per ***4*** divisions in each conference. The math felt good. It was raw and real. 17 games isn't even an even number. I miss it :'(
> 17 games isn't even an even number. No professional sport should have a prime number for the number of regular season games.
Roger has heard your complaints and increased the number of games to 18
Roger has no patience for your half measures. Straight to 32 games! Teams must now field 108 man rosters in order to play with their 7th string come playoffs.
162 games, rotate starting qbs like pitchers with relief qbs in the bullpen
Hey, it was one less loss for your Lions every year, too. I can understand why you long for the good ole days. (As a 20 year recovering former Browns fan I can say this because I know your pain.) Go get em Lions!
hey now it's OUR day to get roasted. the lions can have the other 364.
That's a funny way of saying 11-6 because Special teams/defense cost them half of those in the final drive
It could have been any other team to make this joke
The chargers are a great team, but here’s the kicker
I’ll kill you I’ll kill you I’ll kill you
In the 2013 NFL Draft, the Chargers traded up to draft a guy who had a girlfriend that didn’t exist. There it is boys.
Holy shit how did I forget about Manti Teo?!?!?!?!?
Because he's had a career not so dissimilar from his girlfriend
Netflix is releasing a documentary about the whole situation with him included on the 16th!
Oh for real? I actually kinda want to watch that. That whole situation was just so weird
Yup for real. I think it is called The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist.
“We don’t really follow college football, how did the title game go?”
Whenever someone in LA is thinking about the Chargers, it’s because their phone is almost dead.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Laugh it up fuzzball, see you in 3 hours!
I have high expectations for this roast, which means it’ll get injured and disappoint, again.
The chargers have a higher injury rate than green bottles standing on a wall
Which means it will go into overtime and call a timeout and lose.
One of these years, they will have competent Special Teams…then all the other roasts will have to watch out!
The Chargers have proven that LA can definitely support two teams at the same time The Rams and *insert whatever team the Chargers are playing this week*
This is probably the best one I've read so far.
It really is. I remember watching the Steelers play the Chargers in San Diego a while back. On TV, it sounded like a home game for the Steelers. BRUTAL.
I like this one.
Damn, that one's pretty good
Chargers lost to 2021 Texans. That's it. That's the joke.
They were the 1 win for the Browns in Hue Jackson's 1-31
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Chargers football
Correct
Honestly the Bills losing to the Urban Meyer Jags was way worse lol
Niners losing to Jonny Mansiels browns
Losing to the worst Seahawks team in a decade. Twice. Toss in losing to Colt McCoy in the same season and that’s Niners football baby!
I raise you Rams losing to the winless Adam Gase coached Jets
at home!
Rams losing to the 2016 Niners, twice 🤮
The Steelers losing to Tim Tebow's Broncos
When you just let Josh Allen have his way with you, it's going to be a long day
We have a history of losing to some of the worst teams every season
Yeah, what kinda shit tier team would do that?
With arguably the most stacked roster in their history, the Chargers are poised to continue to not bring a title to San Diego.
Thankfully the Padres have a decent shot to do that. ;)
UNDEFEATED IN THE SOTO ERA
Please stop, my Nats heart cant take much more
Per san diegan tradition if one of us is going down we are taking everyone with us
On pace to be the first team to win 12 road games in one season.
I’ll take the 12 wins anytime, no matter if there was no one at the stadium
2018 I think they were 8-0 in games outside of LA? Lost a road game to the rams. Won a “home” game in London.
By that logic we already did so in 2018 ;)
With the new scheduling format you can actually win 12 road games in one season. Probably won’t ever happen but is a neat fact You’d need to be in the conference that plays nine road games and win them all, but still lose enough home games to be a wild card. Then win 3 road games to make the super bowl.
The Chargers make the Vikings look like a successful team
We both hate our kickers.
reading this thread makes me believe we are kindred spirits in different divisions.
I’ve always felt like the Vikings are our NFC comparable. Middle of the pack every single time. Extremely depressing.
For every roast in this comment section, Phillip Rivers has a new kid.
There's no way that reddit can produce that many jokes.
If we do the usual thing of making the same handful of jokes 600 different times, we might be able to keep up with Mr. Boycott Contraception
You underestimate the power of this website
You underestimate the power of rivers
The seed is strong
Let the boy watch
We are all Philip Rivers' kids on this day.
He’s all “dad-gummit! How the heck are all these darn kids poppin up? What the flip is goin on?”
Chargers once had the number 1 offense and defense and missed the playoffs.
Ahhh yes the 2010 Chargers,aka why Special Teams matter.
[If you haven't watched this yet, please do yourself a favor. It's mesmerizing](https://youtu.be/UAL5X3TRA2A)
Wow, I can't believe I've never seen this one. This absolutely demonstrates the importance of solid special teams play. Best offense and best defense in the league, but start the season 2-5? Yikes.

It's ok my dude. I've been a Lions fan for over 30 years. I more than understand your pain.
Falcons fan since '90. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for nearly 50 years.
Hey man, at least you got to see your team in the Super Bowl twice in your time. I know you didn't get the outcome you'd have preferred, but at least you made it to the big game. In my entire Lions fandom I've only seen them win one single playoff game, and I was only 8 years old when it happened. Been downhill ever since.
Blink twice if you want me to mercy kill you
I cant watch it again, Ill die
Hahahahahaha
A proper burial of Chargers special teams wouldn’t be complete without [this beauty](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDa6gsVv19o&t=145s).
Norv Turner wanted to challenge this comment, but he'd used up all of his timeouts already.
When your team is such a cruel joke that simply listing stats about previous seasons qualifies as a roast
Only by yards allowed, there were better defenses that year.
In a recent poll of “most popular teams in Los Angeles” the Chargers received less votes than a WNBA team and an MLS team.
Is this legit?
lol yea, it was an LA Times poll last winter.
Think of how much better Watson-gate would have been if you guys didn't ruin the Browns' back-to-back 0-16 seasons by losing
I've got feelings... and you hurt damn near every one of them...
All that talent only to go .500 every year
The only thing more nonexistent than the chargers fans are their super bowl trophies
Get those reps in, Philly fan. Feels good don't it?
Only thing better is that you gave us a first round pick for Carson Wentz lol
We'll give you a first for Hurts too if you promise to use it to draft a real quarterback
The last time you guys drafted a 1st round qb your oline and medical staff treated him so bad that he retired in his prime. You have no room to talk, my friend.
Some of us pay Ryan Grigson, some of us pay Sam Bradford Live and learn I guess
At least you’re smart enough to not pay Brock Osweiler, unlike the “team” in Houston
How do you like Sirianni? Haven't paid attention at all, just noticed y'all ran a lot and I'm about it
"You look at a guy like Kobayashi, okay? He breaks the hotdogs in half, and he dips them in the water, and, you know, it's the little things," \-Nick Sirianni
I still laugh about that 2010 team, they were basically the best team ever assembled on paper, and then special teams showed up.
The epitome of that three headed dragon image
[удалено]
Not a roast joke, but I like it.
fuck you spanos
Fuck spanos, all my other nfl team homies say fuck spanos
You’re supposed to upset us, not agree with us.
Spanos is a great owner, provided he pays rent on time 😛
"Here you go, Kroenke! One dollar."
About that rent..... we might need an extension.
Fuck Spanos. They belong in San Diego
Fuck Spanos.
Spanos did ~~nothing~~ everything wrong
Y'all remember NY jets legend LaDainian Tomlinson?
This is actually the most hurtful one in this thread
Could you imagine if he played with Baltimore Ravens legend Lorenzo Neal? I bet they'd win a super bowl! (As the chargers have always been my AFC team, this pains me to write)
Yea that was a low blow
The rest was fair game. But this one got you on some hit list.
More people need to see this. This is important.
Colts legend Philip Rivers
Growing up in San Diego county I hated the chargers. When I graduated in 2016 I moved to LA County, stupid fuckin team followed me. Spanos stop fucking following me!

A little lengthy on the build up.

Kudos to the counter. That’s the real blow.
Boomed (x4)
I’m putting /u/nimoto on the list of Raiders fans I want to roast with this summer
The Chargers wanted to book a playoff spot last season, but they were all tied up
If your team was as good as your social media you’d have won several Super Bowls by now. Maybe you should put them on the field?
Thank you for at least showing Megan some love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I appreciate that SoFi gives a world class experience; it makes any Chargers game seem like a home game, regardless of team.
And they get treated to all the exquisite cuisine this side of your old high school’s leftovers.
At least Los Angeles fans are all happy about having the Lombardi trophy there
The best player in Chargers history is LT and he's not even the best LT. Also you guys should've stayed in SD. I don't have a roast for that, I just hate that you moved to LA

Shouldn't you be grateful?
Thier social media team is more popular than the actual football team. And way better at thier jobs.
The Chargers are loaded with talent with a great qb like ~~Hadl~~ ~~Fouts~~ ~~Humphries~~ ~~Brees~~ ~~Rivers~~ Herbert, they are sure to win the Super Bowl!
Chargers do not even have the worst owner in their city. They cant win anything.
I remember a long time ago on a Madden game when the Chargers scored the announcer would sing “SAN DEIGOOOO SUPER CHARGERS” in this weird voice. That’s it, that’s the roast.
“in this weird voice…” Gentlemen, prepare your ears for the [San Diego Super Chargers anthem](https://youtu.be/j6T0WqD7KxM).
Best anthem
LOL I remember this holy shit. [Found the link](https://youtu.be/Bj_amVT4Wjs) [The inspiration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naB5_32y1UQ)
That’s the one lol after basically every TD. Got super annoying when you played against them.
Imagine playing as them...
The cardinals of the AFC
Damn we're taking strays
List of all-time great chargers: 1. USB-C 2. iPhone Lightning 3. Micro USB 4. Apple MagSafe 5. LaDainian Tomlinson

The Chargers missed the playoffs by losing to a team that wasn’t trying to win
You guys rooted for a player named Alge Crumpler
Madden legend
All the great potential in this roast. Surely the one to watch this year. Just like last year And the year before that And the one before that You know what maybe don’t get your hopes up for this one
The Chargers have lost more one possession games in the past few seasons than women Deshaun Watson has raped.
The Chargers could shock the world. I mean,look at Justin Herbert! Man's proving everyone wrong. Everyone knows the pieces. O-linemen like Slater and Lindsey. Underrated running back Austin Ekeler.

I still don’t get why timeout would be a roast of the chargers?
Because it allowed the Raiders to eliminate you on a field goal. A field goal is when the kicker kicks the ball through the uprights. It's something I have to explain to Chargers fans because they're not used to seeing their team do it.
People really still believe this narrative lol. They were always going to kick the field goal. Fair play on the joke though
Thanks boog
Well shit lol
Nah, sorry, you got some 'splainin to do
“TIMEOUT LAC”

Brilliant!
This entire thread is wrong! We're going to win it all this year!! We're getting 14 wins, going to the playoffs, winning the AFC Champ-... ... ... ... ... -ionship then winning the Super Bowl!! Sorry for that long pause. As a Chargers fan, I'm trying to get used to taking timeouts at inappropriate times.
Feels kinda mean to roast a team without any fans to come to its defense. Also a little boring since it's not like we're going to upset anyone.
The chargers biggest rival is their own home crowd.
Your username hurts more lol
Like many others before them, the Chargers moved to LA with bright hopes and dreams just to see said dreams be crushed before their very eyes. Now they're yet another nobody face in the crowd who has to crash on their friend's couch to get by. It's tragic, really.
Brandon Staley only has sex with his wife if the analytics tell him it could help win on Sunday.
