Could Not Have Been More Wrong,' 'Alarms Are Going Off!' -- Ex-Chargers DT, NFL Players Bash Mike McDaniel's Offense After Humiliating Raiders Loss

The Los Angeles Chargers opened 0–2 after a 26-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2, another defeat with the offense under scrutiny. Coming off a Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Chargers dropped their first two games by the identical scoreline, marking their first 0–2 start since 2023. That year ended 5–12, and attention has turned to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel following criticism from former players. Former quarterback Chase Daniel and linebacker Will Compton amplified concerns, while Breiden Fehoko directly questioned play-calling. Damien Harris also targeted the usage of franchise QB Justin Herbert, noting Herbert completed 15 of 27 passes for 192 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions, and three sacks. The piece ends as the team’s situation remains unclear.
