Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will break down the Chargers Wild Card matchup against the New England Patriots. The Chargers’ season comes to a brutal end in Foxborough after a 16-3 loss to the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round. Despite a dominant performance from the defense, the Chargers’ offense completely collapsed. Justin Herbert and the offense failed to capitalize on multiple opportunities, even after being gifted turnovers and short fields. Play-calling, protection, an...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers are here to break down the Chargers’ Wild Card playoff matchup against the New England Patriots. With Justin Herbert leading the Bolts into the postseason, the focus turns to whether the Chargers’ defense can disrupt rookie quarterback Drake Maye and control the game from start to finish.

Send us a text Chargers outside linebacker Odafe Oweh joins The Compas for an in-depth conversation covering everything from his trade to Los Angeles to life under a new coaching staff.

Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers break down the Chargers’ matchup against the Denver Broncos with the playoffs firmly in mind. They discuss why Jim Harbaugh made the smart decision to sit Justin Herbert and other key starters, and whether Harbaugh will reveal who’s resting on Friday—or keep everyone guessing until game day. The guys also dive into what Trey Lance brings to the table as the starting quarterback and how this game fits into the bigger picture. With the Chargers locked into t...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will recap the Chargers 20-16 loss against the Houston Texans. The Chargers’ slow start proved costly against the Texans, as Los Angeles couldn’t overcome early defensive breakdowns and missed opportunities. The offense finally found a rhythm late, but it was too little, too late to change the outcome. We break down what went wrong early, how the defense surrendered points in the first half, and a rough outing for Cameron Dicker that loomed large. What’s U...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers are back to break down the Chargers’ next opponent — the Houston Texans. There can be no ghosts of last season’s Wild Card playoff loss lingering into this matchup. This is a new season and a new Chargers team, but the challenge is real. Justin Herbert faces a major test as the Texans defense flies all over the field and brings an elite pass rush. Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman will need to dial up a strong game plan to keep Herbert upright and ...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will break down the Chargers taking care of business in Dallas, rolling past the Cowboys 34–17 as Justin Herbert and the offense found their rhythm. Herbert controlled the game while rookie running back Omarion Hampton continued his strong season, powering a balanced attack that helped put the game away. After an early push from Dallas, the Chargers’ defense settled in and took over. The pass rush heated up, the secondary tightened coverage, and the unit l...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers are back to preview the Chargers’ next opponent: the Dallas Cowboys. First, Dan dives into the film room to review the offensive line and breaks down whether there was real improvement against the Kansas City Chiefs. The focus this week is the run game, as the key to victory on offense will be the one-two punch of Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. The Cowboys’ defense has struggled against the run, and that plays right into the bread and butter of Jim Harb...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will recap the Chargers big elimination win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers leaned on their rookies and their defense to pull off a statement win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Rookie pass catchers stepped up to help move the ball on offense, while the defense delivered when it mattered most — capped by Derwin James’ late interception to seal a 16-13 victory and end the Chiefs’ postseason hopes. We break down how the rookies helped Justin Herbert s...
Send us a text The Ramirez brothers return to break down the Chargers facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs. They know the people will want to hear Dan's thoughts on the huge win over the Eagles. Dan will also watch some offensive line film. Plus Fernando has a surprise for Dan. Justin Herbert will need to be perfect if the Chargers want any chance against Patrick Mahomes, who never goes down easy. Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey will be key in moving the offense, and the defense will nee...
Send us a text The Compas Gilberto and Victor break down the Chargers' ugly overtime win against the Eagles. The What's Up Bolts backups share how the Chargers pulled it off with a one-handed Justin Herbert against a tough Philly defense.

Send us a text The Ramirez brothers are BACK with a full Chargers vs. Raiders preview! After taking last week off out of pure frustration from the Jaguars loss, Dan returns — but what’s his mood like heading into this crucial AFC West matchup?

Plus, at 7-4, why does Sunday feel like the start of the Chargers’ real season? And why ...
Send us a text The Ramirez brothers break down the Jaguars beat down of the Chargers again in Everbank a stadium that continues to haunt the Chargers. It was probably the most embarrassing game of the Jim Harbaugh era. After falling to 7-4 they now go into the bye week and who knows if Harbaugh makes any moves but they got dominated on both sides of the football. The Ramirez brothers are here for Chargers fans.

Send us a text The Ramirez brothers are breaking down the Chargers vs. Jaguars matchup — and first off, there will be NO talk about the 2024 playoff game. That’s old news. Half of the current roster didn’t even play in it, so what’s the point? Jim Harbaugh may have found his RB2 in Kimani Vidal, who could play a key role until Omarion Hampton returns. Vidal’s running will be vital (pun intended) to get the Jaguars defense to bite on play-action fakes and open things up for Justin Herbert, wh...
Send us a text The Compas will break down the Chargers huge 25-10 win over the Steelers. The Chargers defense was able to smoother Aaron Rodgers all night and made him feel uncomfortable. They forced him into two interceptions and sacked him three times. It was an outing that could mean Jesse Minter's defense is back-- maybe. The Chargers offensive line did well when it came to Kimani Vidal running the ball as he had over 100 rushing yards and one touchdown. Herbert and Ladd's connection was ...
Send us a text The Ramirez brothers are back to preview the Chargers’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers! After the bye week, the Bolts face a tough stretch — is Sunday already a must-win game? They break down the Trevor Penning trade and explain why this move might actually be better for the Chargers than most people think. The offensive line will be key if the Bolts want to protect Justin Herbert and keep the offense rolling. On the other side of the ball, the defense has to step up ...
Send us a text The Ramirez Brothers will recap the Chargers game versus Tennessee Titans. The Bolts take home the 27-20 victory but it was ugly especially after the offense and special teams gave up 14 points. Joe Alt and Bobby Hart left the game early with injuries, so a struggling offensive line lost two key figures. The defense had lapses of inconsistency but for the most part played a solid game. The trade deadline looms and the Chargers might need to make several calls. Don't miss it. CO...
