I was upset for like maybe 5 minutes post-game. This team looks very formidable in year one under Harbaugh and theres A-LOT to look forward to. Thank you guys for your coverage this season! Glad i subscribed and i can’t wait for more content ❤
Money it was great seeing you at Allegiant Stadium. Thanks for taking a picture with us. Hey we got money and more experience, so it's all good my man.
Mr. Neal, always an honor, from a longtime Fresno Chargers fan. You epitomized toughness. Money, I have said it b4 and I’ll say it again, always says it like it is. No bs, great analysis, and fan-friendly. OBTW, slightly off-topic, the radio call by Money & DJ is the best in the BI-ZI-NESS. Won’t even listen to the TV call, always sync up your radio call when watching the Bolts. Great job guys!
You guys are awesome. I love seeing Lo Neal around Fresno. The Chargers have an opportunity to kick the Raiders to the curb and expand their fan base in the Central Valley. Keep on spreading the Bolt Up Message!
I don’t like many podcasters and announcers and stuff But Matt Money Smith is my go to. I love listening to him on the radio 98.7 when I’m not home. Thank you for all you do Matt!!🤘🏼💙⚡️💙⚡️💙⚡️
Thank you, Money and Lo, for a great season. Yours was always a podcast that I looked forward to every week. The Bolts are on a steep upward trajectory. They had a terrific season, albeit the manner of their loss in the end was disappointing. It should be a fun off season watching how Hortiz goes about his business with $100M in cap space and at least 10 draft picks. Go Bolts.
My only criticism of Herbert in that game is that he didn’t scramble when it was clear that HOU secondary outclassed our pass catchers, even Nix and Daniel’s did that shit
I was there. Not TV. He didn’t really have anywhere to go. He was better off trying to chuck it for more yards than maybe a couple yards. The Texans really dominated our undermanned offense in every way. Interior OLine was playing on roller skates and Ladd was the only one that could get open.
@@texmcboog doesn't matter. he didnt' even try, that's the point. no risk no reward. He is a big boy, PULL IT DOWN, BREAK A FRIGGIN TACKLE, FAKE A PASS..ETC...
@@baliscotsurf Again, I was there, high seats, 50 yard line. He wasn’t going to break anything. The Texans had our offense on lock down. He had “better” chances for more yards trying to hit a receiver. There just wasn’t anywhere to go. It was very frustrating to watch. Maybe a few 3-5 yard gains, but nothing open field. Remember on a pass play, the QB on the drop back still has to go 5-10 yards just to get back to the LOS. The Texans are fast and close quickly. Believe me I would be the first to criticize, I don’t play fanboy to anyone. Herbert had NO HELP except for Ladd. They were exposed.
@ You're still stuck on nowhere to go n missing my point. OK U R RIGHT nowhere to go. SO...GO ANYWAY! Like I said TAKE A FRIGGIN RISK, BREAK A TACKLE, FAKE A PASS. NO RISK NO REWARD. NOT ONE RUN. Alot of us are seeing the same thing.
Love you guys & already looking forward to next season! Lo, I love your Ali photo behind you - I used to have the same one as a poster that said, “Impossible is nothing”! Thanks for the recap & look forward as always!! Best podcast ever IMHO.
Honestly, on the 1 yard line botched snap, when the ball perfectly bounces back into his hands it was so deflating. When things like that are happening, dropped passes (leading to a Pick 6).. weird plays time n time again just ruins the feel of the game. To bounce back mentally after all that is insanely hard and gets the team into a fight or flight panic mode. What can ya do.. I am so hopeful for this team moving forward though and all this herb slander is insane. Dude is such a stud. 2025 here we come!
When that botched snap happened, I told my wife, that's it. The tide has turned, and we're going to lose. I've seen these strange turnarounds often with the Chargers and the handwriting on the wall.
Yes, bouncing back mentally is hard. Winning playoff games is hard. So far, Justin Herbert hasn't been up to the challenge. Maybe that's different next year or the year after, but at this point he's lost his three biggest games as a Charger and his performances are getting worse. (Those games are the 2021 week 18 game against the Raiders where a win gets them in the playoffs and the Chargers lose in OT. The second game is the Jacksonville playoff game where the Chargers scored 3 points in the second half to turn a 27-0 2nd quarter lead to a 31-30 loss despite being favored, and this game where the team scored a total of 12 points and lost by 20 despite being favored.)
@@Willtellthetruth yea i know it's frustrating but how many games has he willed us to a win that people don't mention. In the jaguars game, if they don't have that missed fg, we win. In this game, the narrative that we were going to go in there an essentially have a bi week was absurd. Watching their D, they were massively underrated going in. Could he have done some stuff differently, of course but to put those losses solely on him is essentially watching football with your eyes closed. Plays happen in each of those games that he has impact on that flip the outcome of the game. I'm riding with herb and harbaugh. For the people that say otherwise, show me your alternative. Bills aren't trading allen, chiefs aren't trading mahomes, bengals not trading Burrow, ravens not trading LJ, so where do you think we can improve? Sam darnald probably gona be on the market 🙃
I don’t understand… the experts said the Chargers had no talent around Herbert..Herbert Carries a bunch of former injured players/ nfl rejects on one year deals to 11 wins and now the experts say the Chargers lost because of Herbert? Lol what a clown show🤡
Yes, they said that at the beginning if the season. But going into this game, the Chargers were favored, which is why most were surprised at the a$$ kicking that the Chargers received. The only solace there is that the Broncos (the only good team the Chargers beat all season) also got pounded, so there's that.
@nicknecochea-f9c How many passes did he miss from a clean pocket? How many open receivers did he miss? Stop repeating garbage from the national media and watch the game for yourself
Herbert had a lot to do with it. You have to eb honest. Herbert is paid at elite level. So he's not supposed to implode. Yes there were other factors for the loss, but HE should not have been one of the reasons.
Plus, if Bosa doesn't stay with the team, our cap space will be almost 100 million. I think Mack may be leaving and Bosa is not worth over 30 million, even when he stays healthy.
I’m a season ticket holder since the Chargers moved to LA. Finally Dean Spanos decided to get winners into front office. We’ve had the players in the past but coaching and the front office lacked football IQ (skill) and real leadership. Brandon Staley proved to be a fraud. President of Football Operations was a failure until Dean Spanos decided to get real football guys in the organization. Bringing in Jim Harbaugh and letting him get the coaches he wanted and Joe Hortiz as GM… wow! What a 1st year they put in the books! This season was a profound success regardless of the outcome versus the Texans. Looking forward to the offseason and 2025 season. ⚡️⚡️BOLT UP!⚡️⚡️
If you think about it..the interior offensive line & the tight end positions lost the playoff game..1st pick is a trade up for Warren or a stay put for Loveland.. second has to be the best center or guard..cause I don't see good free agent pickups in that department..just 🤔🤔🤔...stay ⚡⚡⚡⚡ up my friends
Thinking out loud. We didn't have a lot of money last year so now that we do this year no excuses if the same outcome comes next year! Herbert has shown he doesn't have that killer instinct in the post season. He has showed similar in games during the year when he settles for field goals or no points at all. They say three strikes and you're out so if you want to give Herbert the benefit of the doubt he has to show in his next post season appearance he can get over the hump. If he can't then it might be time to look towards the future with someone else. Having ice in ones veins isn't a every player thing so if he doesn't have it he is still a nice guy and I wish him all the best if down the road we have to move on from him. While his weapons didn't do him any favors by dropping normal balls they would catch, other QB's have worked with the same, did more and actually ran the ball! Herbert has wheels and we don't use it at all! At least give this team maybe a 4 for 40 each game and we can build off that. To wrap all this up they say this is the worse we will see this team but again it comes down to the QB. We will see happens this year and also just something to keep in mind since Roman isn't creative that as long as he remains with this team this will prolong and kind of positive progress so lets hope someone scoops him from our team to get a more creative OFF coordinator. Great pod by the way!
I'm looking forward to the draft after seeing how seriously Hortiz's guys had scouted prospects for their skills and how they eould fit with team culture. We'll see what ultimately happens with the late rounders, but it's pretty clear that we didn't draft a single dud in terms of fit. And these guys knew what they were doing. They knew exactly who they wanted in each slot. They obviously WANTED McConkey because they traded up to make sure they got him. I trust that they've been working hard all season putting together their picks for the board. I think we'll see some interesting picks that pan out well just like last year's. But this time, Harbaugh and his other coaches, as well as the scouts, have a season of experience to reference in assessing their draft needs.
IOL. The only coach I got questions about is Devlin. Not sure if it was coaching, personnel or both....Chargers will address the personnel side, but there were some OL issues that were exposed in the WC game that looked more organizational than personnel.
Guys,i've been living in a hole(away from the media crap about Herbert)since the game.I disagree with Lo Neal.I actually think that Houstons defense came to play and is better than people were giving them credit.All in all we can't complain about the season with all the one year prove it deals.Be patient everyone. This is going to get much better.Yes,Herbert didn't play his best but the media crap is ridiculous.
Just stop. You're living ancient history. Spanos did a great job going out and getting Harbaugh, and Hortiz. Chargers are ascending. The worm has turned...
Correct me if I am wrong, I did not have the All-22 film, but even on the replay of the network broadcast of the heave across the field to QJ that ended in the INT, I saw Ladd getting separation on a corner in front of Justin on the right side. If I saw correctly, that was the second TD to Ladd that Justin just plain missed. Tee Higgins is my dream WR. He is *exactly* what Justin needs to couple with Ladd. As Money points out, this is not a very good WR draft, so getting a vet, especially a young vet like Tee, is critical. Cam Skattebo is also one of my favorite picks and may be available. Tyler Warren is a dream pick, but will go early. Perhaps Loveland will be there at 22. Bosa is a great player, but the old adage applies here: The best ability is availability. Plus, releasing him, if necessary, would get relief from $36M cap hit down to $11M, if released. As noted, this is a good draft for edge help and Tuli needs a young edge to start working with. Center is also a position that would best be filled with a vet. Fun season; fun off season upcoming. Go Bolts.
I've got the game DVR'd to rewatch, and zero in on what you and Lo talked about. What about that Michigan TE Colson ?? - I read a good article about him.
Herbert has to move his body and make things happen and overthrowing wide open receivers did both all season. The NFL your measured by winning Big games and beating teams in the PO's just putting up stats against bad teams wont get you that Elite Top 5 Label.
I dig that everyone is trying to temper expectations in year 1 and be positive. But as a long suffering Charger fan, this is just bad. The optics are bad. I still believe in Harbaugh and Joe but the commentary on Herbert is accurate right now. Sure other QB''s started 0-2. But these losses carry a weight. We have seen some of the worst losses and or embarrassment in the past 3 years and I have been a fan since 1988. Yes things will get better and I believe in Herbert, but this needs to change. They need to fix the O-line. It was dismal.
Too bad we couldn't get Derrick Henry or Barkley, thats what we need. Build an awesome O line with a monster RB so Herbert only has to throw like 12-15 times a game because he clearly struggles against teams with winning records and hes nowhere close to elite. Treat him like a QB at Michigan where you dont want him throwing it much and you run 50 times. Thats how you win.
I want a big powerful back to pair with dobbins go get Harris from steelers or go find a mike tolbert tired of us not being able to covert or short downs. Love the sneak but we need to be able to bulldoze ppl
Herbert had a down year. the defense is why they won most of those games thi year. they wont have a last place schedule next year. CUT Pipkens and Bosa. Let Palmer walk. he's always injured and not available.
Draft talk: 1st round: Mike Green Edge Rusher from Marshall - he's currently talked about as a 2nd round pick, he's going top 25 guaranteed. 2nd round: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami 3rd round: [developmental G/C] there isn't a true Center in this draft, but there are several collegiate tackles where because height/weight & arm length, some experts think these tackles can/should convert to Center.
Good post-loss therapy for us fans…Hope the Chargers just get over the hump and win a playoff game next season. Herbert says” I gotta play better” so…at $265 Million PLEASE play “Better” when it truly matters….he must get that media monkey off his back. This will only happen if he wins a playoff game. Love me some Justin Herbert, but he’s gotta put more Dawg in his fight. No need to affirm his talent, would like to see him step it up with more adrenaline, be unshakable and get in the face of his team mates when things are on the line. BTFU!
Where the hell did Stone Smart disappear to? He was making plays left and right while dissly was out. He was clearly a better receiver than dissly. Why didn't they stick with him and give Herbert another weapon to throw to. I'm a little nervous about some of these small decisions in who to play. Ja sir Taylor should never touch the field for the chargers again. Please don't talk to me about injuries either. It's part of the game and should be prepared for.
Heads up and bolt up everyone
Thank you Money and Neal for having the best bleav pod during our season
I was upset for like maybe 5 minutes post-game. This team looks very formidable in year one under Harbaugh and theres A-LOT to look forward to. Thank you guys for your coverage this season! Glad i subscribed and i can’t wait for more content ❤
I’m already over the lose. I’m ready for next season.
Same!
Over the losee or over the loss?
Lose never really bothered me I know this team is a year or 2 away from Championship
Thanks see you next year .bolt up ..from me a over sixty years being a fan from San Diego yes ..now I'm 73 ok much love great show as usual....❤
Literally every Chargers (except ladd) either had their worse game or top 3 worse game in their careers in that one game. So crushing
Would have to agree, It wasn't just Herbert. It was most of the players, and coaching staff too.
Man I'm excited for this draft and free agency season.

Bosa is gone 100%, and i think he knows it ! We should sign Allen to his retirement 1 year contract and Mack to a 1 year retirement contract.
Agreed, Bosa needs to go Im afraid. We missed Keenan, whether they want to admit it or not. Bosa's impact is viable, but not at that salary.
Seems the Chargers were always best when they had a healthy, good center (ala Linsley, Pouncey, Hardwick). We need to find one, ASAP.

Thoughts on herbert not using his leg?
As a proud san diegan and big group of friends of EX charger fans. They will never come around as long as spanos is the owner
Just stop. You're living ancient history. Spanos did a great job going out and getting Harbaugh, and Hortiz. Chargers are ascending. The worm has turned...
Tyler Moore from Alabama would be awesome for the 0 line. Might have to trade up in the draft to get him.
Correct me if I am wrong, I did not have the All-22 film, but even on the replay of the network broadcast of the heave across the field to QJ that ended in the INT, I saw Ladd getting separation on a corner in front of Justin on the right side.

I bet Hortiz and his gang of scouts already have 80% of their draft board filled out
They know exactly who they are gonna get. No doubt.
Can the Chargers sign Lo Neal as a run game/O Line assistant coach??
I've got the game DVR'd to rewatch, and zero in on what you and Lo talked about. What about that Michigan TE Colson ?? - I read a good article about him.
Herbert has to move his body and make things happen and overthrowing wide open receivers did both all season. The NFL your measured by winning Big games and beating teams in the PO's just putting up stats against bad teams wont get you that Elite Top 5 Label.

IOL has to be The point of emphasis this off-season. Then tight end. Then a legit 1-2 receiver.
Don't dwell on it. We're on to 2025.
Jimmy smashed ohio, now he smashes for the Chargers. He will get it going again next season.
Too bad we couldn't get Derrick Henry or Barkley, thats what we need.

Ya but w that arm don't you want to utilize that weapon? I think you want a good balance of run n pass.
How much would we save by parting with bosa?
A lot of disappointment.

3rd round: [developmental G/C] there isn't a true Center in this draft, but there are several collegiate tackles where because height/weight & arm length, some experts think these tackles can/should convert to Center.
TE T. Ferguson
Good post-loss therapy for us fans…Hope the Chargers just get over the hump and win a playoff game next season. Herbert says” I gotta play better” so…at $265 Million PLEASE play “Better” when it truly matters….he must get that media monkey off his back. This will only happen if he wins a playoff game. Love me some Justin Herbert, but he’s gotta put more Dawg in his fight. No need to affirm his talent, would like to see him step it up with more adrenaline, be unshakable and get in the face of his team mates when things are on the line. BTFU!
Stroud threw the ball at the top of his drop, he was NOT outside the pocket. Should have been a safety. Home cooking.
Need to draft a guard in the first. Tyler Booker.
100 million in cap space after Bosa retires or is released.
Draft Kaleb Johnson RB from Iowa and bring back Dobbins as well.
Herbert didn't QB sneak or run...I have a feeling there is an injury we have not been told about.
He was wearing sleeves on both legs, so I suspect his legs were pretty banged up to move around, but he would never say that...
@ Mack alluded to some behind the scenes issue.
The edelman comp to mcconkey is so lazy. He’s more like a young antonio brown with a good head on his shoulders
This will be the worst team we have under this harbaugh regime
What about Justin’s brother we need a TE lol
Yes we need the duo! I was thinking this when he was being interviewed recently
⚡️🙌
No matter who they get chargers will never win a playoff game Herbert can't handle the pressure it's a proven fact he chokes
3rd times the charm hopefully🙏

Imo, greg roman needs to be replaced. he lacks creativity in his play calls. They need to upgrade the O line and Wide Receivers.
Where the hell did Stone Smart disappear to? He was making plays left and right while dissly was out. He was clearly a better receiver than dissly. Why didn't they stick with him and give Herbert another weapon to throw to. I'm a little nervous about some of these small decisions in who to play. Ja sir Taylor should never touch the field for the chargers again. Please don't talk to me about injuries either. It's part of the game and should be prepared for.
