In a high-scoring affair with the Dolphins, the Chargers kept it close throughout. But in the end, Miami’s offense was too overpowering for Los Angeles.
Here’s how the internet reacted to the loss, which was highlighted by Brandon Staley shouldering the blame for the outcome.
Buy Chargers TicketsDoes J.C. Jackson understand just basic football stuff? Don’t even understand that last play. Can HC Brandon Staley be on the hot seat at half of week one? Team is so frustrating.

Brandon Staley’s defense allowed 36 points in the first game of the 2023 season. Just bad.
The offense ends the game terribly but absolutely was not the reason they lost.

Brandon Staley had 8 months to game plan for the Dolphins and they damn near had 600 yards lmao.

Kellen Moore established more of an identity on offense in one game than Brandon Staley has on defense in 2+ years

The Chargers' defense allowed …
🏈536 total yards
🏈36 points
🏈30 first downs
🏈10.4 yards per attempt
🏈The single most insane three points of the week on a Hail Mary when they shoved a Miami WR for reasons unknown. The Chargers then lost by two points.— Matt Verderame (@MattVerderame) September 10, 2023
Brandon Staley is supposed to be a defensive mastermind. His team can’t stop a nosebleed.

The Chargers are the kings of "what if" losses. There's always one small thing that could have easily been avoided that typically leads to a loss.
This is 100% that moment if the Chargers don't win this game.
