“What a S*** Show”: Following Brandon Staley’s Firing, ‘Brutal’ Pat McAfee Saddened by Chargers Predicament

In the crucial regular-season phase, the Los Angeles Chargers lodged one of the worst franchise records against their divisional rivals, the Las Vegas Raiders. Following this disappointing performance of 63-21, the Chargers’ head coach Brandon Staley was fired along with the general manager, Tom Telesco. Earlier there were speculations surrounding Staley’s release, but the Chargers’ enthusiasts were hoping for a comeback in their previous matchup.

However, the game against the Las Vegas team shattered all expectations. The halftime lead of 42-0 by the Raiders was heart-wrenching for every Chargers fan, who wanted their team’s revival. While the game ended with a disaster for the LA side, punter Pat McAfee was quick to express his dislike toward the intent displayed by the team.

Pat McAfee was saddened by the Chargers’ gameplay

Pat McAfee discussed the Chargers’ gameplay against the Raiders on his “The Pat McAfee Show.” McAfee portrayed his frustration with the performance Chargers’ showed, and tagged it as a S*** Show. His thoughts of expression matched the other guests who claimed the game to lack any right intent, portraying how the aspect of winning didn’t seem to be pursuing enough for the Chargers without the playoff chances.

McAfee said, “What a s*** show. Dump right, legit like their fans are very passionate, and everything like that they’ve had to deal with a city change. Right, you just go back to that whole thing playing in an MLS Stadium then going into the Rams Stadium, then the Rams went to the Super Bowl in LA and then now you got the face in Justin Herbert, everybody says it, everybody thinks it, everybody knows that to be the case.”

His comments indicated directly how the season for the LA team has not done justice to their struggles overall. Addressing various factors alongside the city change that they adapted to, for McAfee, this year has been overly underwhelming for the supporters of the side who hosted great expectations.
