Chargers @ Texans Pregame Discussion (wk 16)

[jamrock]

NFL games are compromised, playoff battles are compromised. NFL has to rethink the Covid rules.

[Caslon]

Too much unnecessary socializing or the facilities aren’t being tightened down enough. Not much to do in Cincinnati is one players explanation for less Covid players missing games on that team.

[Critty]

Looks like no one tested negative in time for our team:

My top 2 concerns are Linsley and Roberts.

I trust Palmer and Jackson to spell Williams and Ekeler vs the Texans.

Make a bubble for the playoff teams.

Yeah not having those two is going to suck. Especially Linsley. Here’s hoping the backups play great for one game like Pipkins did against KC.

Can’t find a final list for the Texans. This is all that has been posted as of two days ago.

One we need to actually win.

[Charge!]

Preseason game in December

This means this game could go any which way...... especially since our ST's will be weaker..... maybe we have KA do punt returns just to fair catch them?.... making sure there are no fumbles.... and whatever RB handles KR's just downs ball in endzone.....

At least, knock on wood, we have a great QB, though no deep threats, speed wise......

Teams should have put themselves in their own bubbles a week or two ago. Makes no sense to just not hang out in a hotel, have meetings and what not.

Especially now post Xmas. But really I thought the Chargers and teams should have started two weeks ago

As for the game
Chargers have Herbert, as of now, which is huge.
they have Slater, Feiler, Schofield and Norton - so I get how important Linsley is but thats stout
They have the right week to have players out with COVID - luck of the draw is so important

At least Q-Berry has been getting snaps with our 1st stringers all week long at practice...could be worse...could be filling in mid-game...

No it doesn't...Texans starters stink, the backups must be abominable.

Chargers have still enough horses to coast in this game.
Texans are worse than the Giants (the only truly bad team the Chargers have played)
Chargers have had 10 days to heal and prepare.

Put it away early.
