Shock Therapy: A Los Angeles Chargers Podcast

  • Shock Therapy Season Ender

    20 JAN 2023 · The Los Angeles Chargers had their season ended with heartbreak. After starting with a 27-0 lead, the Chargers fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars by a last-second field goal. In Justin Herbert’s playoff debut, the Bolts failed to score points in the second half of the game and embarrassingly lost in one of the biggest playoff comebacks in NFL history. Last year, it was the Charger's inability to defend the run on defense that lost them games. This year, it was their inability to establish the run on offense. They managed just seven total rushing yards in the second half of the wildcard round, paving the way for Jaguar's epic comeback and leading to the loss of employment for Joe Lombardi and Shane Day. We touch on some offensive coordinator replacements to close out the season. The guys refused to fall into the doom and gloom of the wildcard loss and opted for some exciting news. Great things are in store for Shock Therapy, including joining a new network: Belly Up Sports. Get ready for Season 3!

  • Chargers - Broncos Recap | Wildcard Round: Jaguars Preview

    11 JAN 2023 · Lots going on as the Los Angeles Chargers are headed to playoffs. First, the Chargers lost to the Denver Broncos in a meaningless game. To add insult to injury, Brandon Staley took quite a bit of slack for letting his starters play as much as he did with scared to Mike Williams, Joey Bosa, and Kenneth Murray, and keeping Justin Herbert in as long as he did. Nothing major, but the entire NFL world has had something to say about it. Now the Chargers travel to Jacksonville to play the 4th seed and AFC South Divisional winners. The Jaguars are the most surprising team to make playoffs, and if the Chargers are as good as the preseason hype indicated, they should make short work of Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars.

The NFL regular season may be coming to an end, but there are still nearly two months of football left if the Chargers can keep this win streak alive. The Chargers started 2023 off with a jolt of lightning.

  • Los Angeles Chargers @ Indianapolis Colts Recap and Los Angeles Rams Preview

    30 DEC 2022 · The Los Angeles Chargers punched their ticket to the NFL Playoffs following a 20-3 beatdown over the Indianapolis Colts last week on Monday Night Football. Head Coach Brandon Staley has his defense playing at an elite level over the past three weeks and it all culminated into one of the best performances of the year against Indy. The Bolts finished the game with three interceptions and seven sacks while holding the Colts to 173 total yards of offense.

If the Chargers can do that, they will be an absolute force come playoff time. This week the Chargers will wrap up their 2022 home slate as they welcome their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, to SoFi Stadium. The Rams may be wounded but they still boast some great playmakers and will enter the game with nothing to lose.

    17 DEC 2022 · The debate between Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa is over, and it wasn't particularly close.

  • Los Angeles Chargers at Arizona Cardinals Recap

    1 DEC 2022 · It wasn’t always pretty, but the Los Angeles Chargers got it done in crunch time and kept their playoff hopes alive, narrowly defeating the Arizona Cardinals 25-24 last Sunday. Despite being gashed on the ground and allowing 181 rushing yards, the Bolts' defense dug in late in the fourth quarter and didn’t allow a single first down over Arizona’s final four drives. This kept L.A. in the game and opened the door for a majestic game-winning drive led by Justin Herbert who finished 35-for-47 with 274 yards and three touchdowns. Instead of kicking the extra point to push the game to overtime, Head Coach Brandon Staley went back to his aggressive ways and elected to go for two. Following a delicious play call, Herbert found a wide-open Gerald Everett to give the Bolts the one-point victory. How’s that for a social media quarterback? Tyler and Zac break down all the action on this week’s episode!
