Anthony Lynn and the Chargers coaching staff might want to start packing their bags

Los Angeles and rookie QB Justin Herbert are learning the hard way that clock management can quite literally be the difference between wins and losses. The Chargers have far outplayed their now 3-8 record this season, but after a loss to the Bills in Week 12, they’re all but certain to miss the postseason barring a miracle run in the final weeks.

Lynn’s Chargers completed a Hail Mary — the second the Bills defense has given up in just a few short weeks — with 40 seconds remaining in the game. Down double digits, any comeback attempt was dire, but the Chargers should’ve at least gone down swinging. Instead, Lynn and Herbert went with two running plays, and let the clock run out on them.

Chargers fans are furious with Lynn postgame

Lynn’s Chargers made the postseason just two years ago, but have since seen a downgrade in talent and the exodus on Philip Rivers. Herbert is promising, but Dean Spanos and Co. ought to pare him with his long-term coach, perhaps one of better offensive mind, and one that can handle the basic head coaching duties of clock management.

He proved incapable of doing so on Sunday, and several times over the course of this season. In a year that will define his head coaching tenure in San Diego/Los Angeles, Lynn hasn’t provided much hope for Chargers fans.

dark. Next. Justin Herbert has succeeded under pressure right out of the gate
