Runs through the Chargers' remaining schedule and the case for a firing if they fall to 0-6 at Kansas City, with Mike McDaniel floated as the fall guy. Framing and jokes, no new reporting.
- [First Things First](https://boilpoints.com/u/firstthingsfirst), 2026-10-16, 34:53 to 42:13: **Adds the Chargers' 37-of-329 snap lead stat**. Preview of the winless Chargers at undefeated Kansas City, built on a stat the card did not have: Los Angeles has held the lead for only 37 of its 329 offensive snaps. Notes the defense has kept it close without Derwin James and Khalil Mack, but expects a comfortable Chiefs win.

- [Nightcap](https://boilpoints.com/u/nightcap), 2026-10-19, 40:49 to 48:20: **Recaps the 0-6 start and the Herbert blame debate**. Recaps the 22-6 loss and the 0-6 start, then spends most of the segment on Herbert: the weekly interception, the McCarthy fourth-quarter comparison, the $55 million deal. It stays inside the blame debate already on the record.
- [The Dan Patrick Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/thedanpatrickshow), 2026-10-19, 22:16 to 25:47: **Adds the Chargers' scoring figure and next slate**.

Adds the scoring figure and the upcoming slate to the running file. New angle: The Chargers have scored more than 20 points once this season.
- [The Right Time with Bomani Jones](https://boilpoints.com/u/therighttimewithbomanijones), 2026-10-19, 23:06 to 26:07: **Asks whether Harbaugh should be fired**.

- [The Rich Eisen Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/thericheisenshow), 2026-10-19, 30:09 to 32:31: **Plays Harbaugh's answer on play-calling**. Plays Harbaugh's answer on whether Mike McDaniel keeps calling plays and notes the first bit of daylight in it, then lists the surrounding damage: Herbert still getting hit, Slater and Alt out, McConkey concussed, a dreadful run game. New angle: Harbaugh, asked about McDaniel's play-calling, said the Chargers will look at everything, including his own job.
- [The Rich Eisen Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/thericheisenshow), 2026-10-19, 32:31 to 35:23: **Previews the remaining slate and draft outlook**. Runs through the Chargers' remaining slate - Houston at home, at Baltimore, then the Jets and Patriots - and calls the season lost at 0-6. Pairs that with the draft outlook, naming Jeremiah Smith as the answer if they land top five, and rules out ever calling for Harbaugh's job. New angle: The Chargers host Houston next, then visit Baltimore, then play the Jets and Patriots.
- [First Take](https://boilpoints.com/u/firsttake), 2026-10-20, 44:54 to 47:21: **Calls the Harbaugh-Herbert pairing a failure**. Canty's Tuesday truth calls the Harbaugh-Herbert pairing a failure and says the franchise must move on from one or both, adding that Los Angeles is in pole position for the number one pick with the hardest remaining schedule. New angle: The Chargers are in pole position for the number one overall pick and have the hardest remaining schedule.
- [PTI](https://boilpoints.com/u/pti), 2026-10-20, 17:25 to 19:12: **Reads Harbaugh's playbook remark as a plan**. Jeff Saturday reads Harbaugh's remark about thinning the playbook as a concrete plan: fewer tags, simpler blocking combinations for an offensive line starting four rookies. It puts the first specific detail on what Harbaugh meant by addressing the offense. New angle: Harbaugh said he is looking at thinning the playbook so players can understand it; the line starts four rookies.
- [Nightcap](https://boilpoints.com/u/nightcap), 2026-10-22, 21:42 to 25:49: **Blames Herbert rather than the system for 0-6**. Opens a new point on the Chargers' 0-6 start after the 22-6 loss to Kansas City, running through Herbert's interception streak and the J.J. McCarthy comparison before arguing the fault lies with the quarterback rather than McDaniel's system. New angle: The Chargers are 0-6 for the first time since the start of the 2000 season.
- [Nightcap](https://boilpoints.com/u/nightcap), 2026-10-22, 25:45 to 29:13: **Plays Harbaugh saying the offense starts with him**. Plays Jim Harbaugh's clip on whether Mike McDaniel keeps calling plays and gets him saying the offense needs to be addressed and it starts with him. The rest is a riff on Herbert's $55 million a year and who the talk shows will blame. New angle: Jim Harbaugh said the Chargers will look at everything and the offense needs to be addressed.
- [First Things First](https://boilpoints.com/u/firstthingsfirst), 2026-10-22, 42:28 to 49:35: **Blames Herbert for the fourth-quarter collapse**. Works through the 0-6 Chargers' offensive collapse and a column blaming McDaniel's scheme. Wright argues Herbert is most to blame, citing 2.2 points per fourth quarter, three of the worst playoff performances this century, and a missed offseason program, and floats drafting a quarterback and trading him. New angle: The Chargers average 2.2 points per fourth quarter, and Herbert missed part of the offseason program.
- [The Rich Eisen Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/thericheisenshow), 2026-10-28, 19:08 to 20:50: **Debates which Chargers to sell at 0-6**. A short 'to sell or not to sell' segment on the 0-6 Chargers: the hosts would move Khalil Mack, keep Derwin James and the offensive pieces, and joke about New England calling Indianapolis for Jonathan Taylor. Opinion and a recap of the record, nothing new on the field.
- [The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL](https://boilpoints.com/u/theathleticfootballshowashowaboutthenfl), 2026-10-29, 42:08 to 48:05: **Reports the Chargers have no interest in selling**. Turns to the 0-6 Chargers as sellers, working Popper's board: Tuipulotu fifth, James tenth, Mack twelfth. Reports the building has no interest in trading anyone, and argues the expiring veterans - Tomlinson, Jackson, Mack - are the middle ground, with Mack the most attractive piece. New angle: The Chargers have not reached an extension with Tuli Tuipulotu, and his franchise tag number is $29 million.
- [The Herd with Colin Cowherd](https://boilpoints.com/u/theherdwithcolincowherd), 2026-10-30, 24:50 to 27:38: **Previews the Chargers' deadline posture**. Turns to the Chargers' deadline posture ahead of the Rams game at SoFi: the hosts expect Los Angeles to hold until after that game and then start accumulating picks, with Mack and Derwin James hitting the market. New angle: The Chargers have not moved anyone at the deadline yet; a loss to the Rams would make Mack and Derwin James available.
