Chargers @ Texans Pregame Discussion (wk 16)

[Xenos]

Tell me everything's going to be okay.

As long as we don’t have more key guys testing positive, we should beat the Texans. But it sounds like there’s more names waiting to be released.

"The Boxing Day Nightmare"

--Davis Mills improves on his 92.2 QBR vs JAGS. (HOU says they have their QB, and just need some other pieces from the Watson bounty.)
--Rex Burkhead/David Johnson run for a 150 burger.
--Brandin Cooks gets to 1k and Nico Collins flashes.
Derek Rivers/Garret Wallow get two sacks each.
--@blaqbadger14 returns two punts to the house.

Oh, you think this is not feasible ?
wisdom of wu says...

There is only one way to avoid this Boxing Day Nightmare.

We must go for it on 4th down !!!

:shifty:

If we sit/can’t start enough quality players, this will be a trap game we lose.

Bosa Linsley and Eckeler on Covid list.


Please keep that ****** mutant virus away from my QB!

What should have been an easy win will be a struggle now

But there are also new covid rules in place - -so not sure how that affects players if they are asymptomatic.

Granted if you say you don't have symptoms..... it will be interesting

Just have to see how things play out

EDIT: Bosa is out for Sundays game.
Ekeler and Linsley too be determined

Bubble wrap the team, keep them outside, mask up, whatever it takes

[Charge!]

One thing for sure, the Texans are not in tank for the draft mode, at least when playing a division rival. It is a "trap" game, but the last trap game, the Chargers ran a way with an easy win.

agree.....Texans may not be great but they will play very hard to try and win the game..... it is a trap game but less so because Chargers lost to chiefs..... Had Chargers beaten chiefs, it would have been more likely for Chargers to show up flat.....

Even AZ lost to DET and it wasn't close.... and AZ has played better overall than Chargers.....

Brady got shut out by a so-so NO team with a backup QB????.... how did that happen?..... How many times has Brady ever been dominated like that???

this year ANY GIVEN SUNDAY applies more than ever..... there is no consensus number one team that has both offense and defense..... like when 49ers were winning SB's.... and NE no longer has Brady.....

Chargers are a good team with flaws and injuries(like others) that is good enough to beat anyone or lose to anyone depending on how we play that day......

Chargers should never be 10+ point favorites......

[Charge!]

this.....

especially the way this team is built.....

a team like cleveland might be able to dumb down the offense and physically run for 200+ on raiders to beat them..... without a QB...... but Chargers cannot win that kind of game.... we need to have everyone healthy and playing well to win.....

Bosa out
Kemon Hill is out

See how many more players are out... going to be a tougher game ... But just have to figure it out and win a game.

Some good news

Bosa being out may be a blessing in disguise. If we can get over the Texans with the W and he recovers after 10 day period he has a 90 day exemption from daily testing.

That would be huge.
