After a loss Tyrell Williams Color Rush Jersey , theces me to look back on the game and realize just poorly things went from the first whistle until the last.I give myself a day or so to reflect on what I saw, how I felt, and to allow my fandom to simmer down before I start spouting off my opinion in order to avoid any potential shot at coming off as a homer or anything similar.After the last few seconds on the clock ticked away, it was quite a struggle to peer through the muck in order to find a player or two who actually played well despite the outcome. I found one fairly quickly, to be honest. But the second one feels like pulling teeth.Speaking of pulling teeth, that’s not a bad way to describe what the offense felt like when it was trying to move the ball into Ravens’ territory. I think they crossed mid-field once, maybe twice? Not counting the fumble recovery to start the second half obviously.It was a masterful performance by the Baltimore defense and I believe this was simply a team, match-ups and all, that the Chargers wanted to avoid if they had a chance. I mean, just think about it. The offense thrives on running the football with a quarterback that runs faster than most receivers and has the vision of a great running back. The Chargers do not have athletic defensive tackles that can stop the run and the Bolts’ linebacker group isn’t built to handle the Ravens’ combination of athleticism and power, plus what they can do out of heavy sets was inevitably the downfall when the Chargers don’t have the means to defend it.Guys like Hayes Pullard, Kyle Emanuel, and Jatavis Brown had no chance.On the bright side Derek Watt Color Rush Jersey , the loss was irrelevant to the Chargers’ future as they already punched their ticket to the playoffs last week. And maybe, just maybe, this incredibly humbling throttling by the Ravens will end up being the last wake-up call that this team needs as it heads into their first postseason appearance since 2013.SurgeS Adrian PhillipsFrom the very start of the contest, Phillips looked like his pro bowl selection the premium gas he needed to take his play to the next.It was expected to see a lot of Phillips in this game, in and around the box, to allow the defense the added athleticism needed to contain Jackson as much as possible. The former UDFA paced the team with nine total tackles on the night which included a tackle for loss against Jackson outside of the pocket.Phillips wasn’t the best in coverage but he played his role to the best of his ability, with grit and intensity, and unsurprisingly found his way onto this week’s Surge list.DT Brandon MebaneMebane’s presence in the middle of the defensive line was a welcomed sight in a contest in which the team needed him the most. As you can see below, Mebane came out of Saturday’s contest with the highest game grade on the entire team. Even more impressive is that he was the only one to find himself above a 75.0, placing himself well-above second place with an 87.5.Mebane wasted no time in flashing for the cameras as he played the key role in stalling the Ravens multiple times in the red zone to help preserve a one-score game. In all honesty, this might have been the 33-year-old’s best game of the 2018 campaign.In fact, Mebane’s six total tackles was good enough to be tied for third on the team from the defensive tackle position and ties his season-high that he achieved during both the Rams and Titans games.StaticS Jahleel AddaeJust shoot him straight into the sun.There’s nothing else that needs to be said about this one.Getting him off the team would do absolute wonders for the mental health of the team, the fans Travis Benjamin Color Rush Jersey , and, most importantly, myself.The entire offenseThere is a reason that the top-five player grades given out by Pro Football Focus all belonged to defensive players this week.The offense was flat and, like Coach Lynn stated in his post-game presser, simply out-coached.The offensive line will inevitably get the most flack for the unit’s performance as they collected a healthy dose of holding penalties during some of the game’s most crucial moments. Holding penalties, including one by the captain Russell Okung, were killer.A pair of back-to-back penalties by Keenan Allen that negated two instances of clutch heroics by Rivers was also tough to beat as the biggest kick in the balls on the evening full of them.It’s obvious this wasn’t the Chargers’ best game of the season. In fact, it’s essentially a toss-up between this and the Broncos game as the most dreadful eye-sore spat out by Ken Whisenhunt and company.Only up from here, right? Nearly two decades after its short-lived debut, the XFL has returned—and to LA, specifically.After being first announced in January, the controversial professional league, which originated as a joint venture between WWE and NBC Keenan Allen Color Rush Jersey , is set for a 2020 reboot, complete with eight league-owned franchises. While some of the details of what will separate the XFL from the NFL are still vague, the seasons should not be in direct competition with each other as the XFL is being rumored as a summer league.This should, however, pose a very real annoyance to the LA Galaxy, which also call Stub Hub home that time of year.Fans have already begun to grumble at their soccer venue turning more and more toward gridiron.It is worth noting that even the time of year is not officially confirmed yet.The XFL originally made its mark with sensational storylines and drama-drama-drama as the players were encouraged to date the cheerleaders, criminals were actively courted to play, and the line between ‘professional’ wrestling and ‘professional’ football was only slightly blurred. Vince McMahon’s experiment lasted just one season through its first run back in 2001.But the new XFL, which still has two years to prepare for competition with the NFL and the newly formed Alliance of American Football (among other leagues), took another step toward reality on Wednesday with the reveal of its eight teams and stadiums.Here’s a rundown of which cities will be hosting games when the XFL kicks off again:City: DallasStadium: Globe Life Park in Arlington (Arlington, Texas)City: HoustonStadium: TDECU Stadium (Houston, Texas)City: Los AngelesStadium: StubHub Center (Carson, California)City: New YorkStadium: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford LaDainian Tomlinson Color Rush Jersey , New Jersey)City: SeattleStadium: CenturyLink Field (Seattle, Washington)City: St. LouisStadium: The Dome at America’s Center (St. Louis, Missouri)City: TampaStadium: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)City: Washington, D.C.Stadium: Audi Field (Washington, D.C.)StubHub is not the only NFL home on the list, but it is worth noting that long-rumored San Diego was not one of the final candidates. Football fans closer toward the border should have every expectation of another up-and-coming league filling that void shortly.Finally, it is also worth noting that season tickets are officially available for reservation at Stub Hub. It’s too early to know prices, but for $50 you can reserve your season ticket rights.Season Ticket Benefits:Seat selection in advance of general publicAccess to special eventsConfirmed same seat location for all 2020 home gamesFirst priority for playoff ticket purchasesSo, there you have it! If you are a fan of a team that hasn’t lost a single game in over 17 years, this is a great time to grab a seat!-Jason “Are Battlebots Allowed?” Michaels
