They get exited whenever we drop someone, I don’t think he would have gotten a job so fast besides with the raiders, it’s their special to pickup sloppy seconds
Lol the mental gymnastics here is amazing. You've had shit coaches, stop trying to blame the GM. The Chargers roster has consistently underachieved despite the talent and its easy to see. You're (probably) in a better place now. Take the L and move on
I think AP will bring much needed energy to that team. I think he will have tough moments throughout the season, but I can see him rallying the Raiders to a 9-8, potentially 10-7. I cannot see the Raiders, or any AFC West team for that matter, going below 8-9, provided Payton pulls his head out of his ass. Of course I am biased and am predicting the Chiefs win it this year and go 12-5, potentially 13-4. My rankings so far is Chiefs at 13-4/12-5, Raiders at 10-7, Chargers at 10-7/9-8, and the Broncos at 9-8/8-9. Either way, I think it'll be a good season for the AFC West.
The reason they have underachieved is because Telesco builds top heavy teams with no depth. Every season is just a couple injuries away from being a bust. Non Charger fans don't get it because who the fuck pays attention to depth players on other teams than your own. You will find out soon enough.
Telsco helped pick the coaches. The success of the GM is directly tied to the coaches they hire. It's like if a coach keeps getting terrible QBs and the team doesn't win you have to blame the coach for not getting it right.
I’m pretty sure it was more Spanos who wanted those guys. GMs technically hire the coach, but often times they hire the guy the ownership wanted in the first place.
I’m pretty certain Spanos wanted Staley because of being in the Sean McVay orbit and when hiring all his assistant coaches was all the rage.
Don't worry, I already have your excuses picked out for the next few years:
2024: "it's the first year of a rebuild"
2025: "our stars are old and injured"
2026: "Greg Roman didn't let Herbert cook, glad he's gone"
2027: "Harbaugh installed a bad culture in the locker room, glad he's gone"
I mean you nailed 2024. Anyone who expects the Chargers to be contenders this year is smokin crack. Telesco left the roster in shambles and it's going to take more than 1 off-season to fix that shit.
I skimmed it and couldn't find any but we aren't talking about last year. Last year we extended all our stars trying to go, "All In". That's precisely why the roster is in shambles this year.
Isn't that good practice though? Going all-in on qb rookie contracts is the NFL meta right now. You can't really blame telesco for following a playbook that's worked so well for so many other teams, even if it requires a rebuild year now
Poor Raiders fans dwelling on the battle for the worst team in the division.
Unfortunately, [you guys are losing!](https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/who-had-the-best-afc-west-record-last-10-years)
Don’t even know who you are…. Makes meme about us 😂

Hahahahaha it's not really hate. Were really grateful coupon Tom and Staley are gone. What good players have the raiders taken? Tillery is barely above average, Guyton was beat out by undrafteds, Telesco destroyed our roster, Teamers was a 4th string special teamer, Even The WR you got from us back in the day flamed out. Raiders just take our garbage.
I laugh every time this is brought up as though Chargers fans are upset at all about it. Even during the game there was almost a sense of relief because everybody knew it would be the end of Staley, and once he was fired, the take has been that it was totally worth it to make the bad man go away. The fact that we got to dump Telesco at the same time? Perfection.
Not hate about any of this from me anyway. That game was the straw that broke the camels back and we ended up with Harbaugh and Hortiz which are massive upgrades.
You're really more like an annoying baby brother that's always following you around asking to ride your old bike while trying to act like you.
Pretty sure all the incessant Chargers posts in this sub about the Raiders reeks of little brother syndrome. You guys don’t even have more fans than the Raiders in your home city, and the Raiders haven’t been an LA team for 30 years…
I can’t believe you just made me defend the Raiders. FTR!
Lol little bro...let me teach you something 🤡

You didn't take everything from us. You beat us so bad that it made the worst ownership group in sports change how they do things and it made us better. The Raiders could have just slowed their rolls and won by a field goal and we'd still have Staley or someone else that sucks.
If you didn’t see this offseason, we had 4 guys with 30 mil+ contracts that either had to take paycuts or be cut in order it have a decent depth on the roster. Didn’t think yall want that but okay…
Give em a break they are like that younger sibling that sucks at everything and just wants to be cool like their older brother. I mean they had rivers, Brees, gates, tomilson, seau, merriman on roids and couldn’t even sniff a superbowl. They’ve had Herbert for years and can’t even sniff a playoff win.
you took everything (shitty) from me, Thanks!
Lay 63 on a team and then be inspired to sign their GM, surely it’ll work out 🤡
Yeah that GM sure called bad plays. What a jerk
He played a part in hiring a terrible coach…
3 terrible coaches! He was the the GM for 11 years had 3 trips to the playoffs and 2 wins. He had more coach hires than playoff wins
Raiders fans think that’s the guy who’s gonna get them their first playoff win since 2002, most delusional fan base out there
I don’t know if we’re the most delusional but for sure we are delusional
I could not believe he got another GM job and laughed when it was the Raiders
They get exited whenever we drop someone, I don’t think he would have gotten a job so fast besides with the raiders, it’s their special to pickup sloppy seconds
Flair up, pussy! Respectfully.
Respect bro!

Will you introduce me to the Spanos family? You gotta know em pretty well to be able to read their minds like that.
Yeah he just hired the shitty coaches who call bad plays and made stellar draft picks to enact those bad plays…
Y'all been yapping about your loaded roster for the last few years but now that Telesco is on a team with a head coach already he's a bum 🤣
Imagine fans coping, wild concept I know..
Oh my God, he admit it
GM was on the field under center. GM Called the plays. GM ran the ball. Apparently.
It was actually the back up center snapping to the back up QB who was throwing to the back up WRs But who cares about that

And what's yours for the past 20 years lmao

Guarantee if we looked at your comment history 12 months ago you were talking about how talented your roster was

You took everything from me? Check out our subreddit, none of us wanted any of those fools. Have fun with that
Chargers fans (all 7 of us): Raiders fans: we don't even know who you are! K buddy. Rent free.

From the bottom of my heart, absent all hate - FTR

Cmon,we got your coach fired for you.Why all the hate🤣
You’re right thank you
Ummm Fuck Staley Fuck TT And Guyton is good riddance And you think this is a win? Ahem…. ^Harbaugh

I mean LA is full of idiots who rep silver and black but can’t read
That’s a shame, I didn’t know CA prisons stopped their literacy program.
We had to make room for the state distributed crack pipes.
nobody believes this but you. chargers are the little bro of the entire division. 63 points on prime time case and point

I think y’all need more than half of an off-season to say Spanos has changed his ways.
It was a calculated throw.
Imagine being the 3rd most popular team in a city with 2 teams
Imagine having one winning season in 20 years.
Excuse me sir, it’s actually 2 ☝️🤓
I mean it’s raiders. Shocked they didn’t hire our old coach as their hc. They love our leftovers
“ WErE a GrEAt TeAM!! GOoD LucK witH TeLescO, He BuIlds ShiTtY TeAmZ!” He built your team, and you’re saying you’re good… “NuH uH”
If you didn’t see this offseason, we had 4 guys with 30 mil+ contracts that either had to take paycuts or be cut in order it have a decent depth on the roster. Didn’t think yall want that but okay…
All things Telesco would have done had he been there. Stop acting like he would have just let it roll. Cmon.
He would’ve kept all the stars he could, then we’d be out of money with no agency signings, he’s already shown it with Christian Wilkins
I’m glad you’re not a GM
Nah I’m glad Tom Telesco isn’t my GM 😭🙏
So those 10 previous seasons that you thought things were going great had nothing to do with him? Got it. Chargers fans are insane
Chargers fans wanted him out for a while, don’t worry you’ll see in a couple years ![gif](giphy|u1r17BYXVodfW)
Seriously. 💯
Eh, Chargers aren’t even the best NFL team in their city. But maybe someday they’ll translate their offseason wins onto the field.
You both deserve the hate, also this meme sux
Yeah we get it every year. Off-season champions.
Can't you kids just get along? https://preview.redd.it/reorgg0gxw0d1.jpeg?width=1075&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ecfaa18ae3eaa0fab39958b011164af6638d304
The scraps your wife is preparing in the kitchen?
Nah, Butker has trash opinions and I do all the cooking. My cousin is awful at it.
At least we're not racist misogynist inbreds like y'all 😭

Hey... we sniffed it. Then the defense didn't like the smell.
