Chargers at Texans Pre-Game Discussion (Wild Card Round)

[charger1_sj]

What have the Chargers done all season?

They beat the teams they were supposed to beat. That’s their superpower. Did they ever lose a game they were favored to win? I can’t remember any.

And I don’t expect it to change this Saturday.

Go Bolts.

Not sure but Arizona a definite possibility. As Charger fans I know we all thought we'd win that game.

Not directed at anyone in particular but, do we have new Charger fans in the building?
Part of the price of Bosa's positive plays, is the fact that he's going to be offsides, this should be known and accepted by now. Minter certainly does.
BTW, you guys liked that Henley interception?
Doesn't happen without Bosa bullrushing a raider OL into AOC.
But let's continue to cry about his offsides penalties and overlook the absolute huge IMPACT he makes.
We all trust Minter's judgment until it comes into conflict with our perogative to hate on Bosa.
All I ask is that we be fair(er).
Not asking for anyone to be a big fan or supporter like I am, but give the guy a break, he's still making plays!
James certainly got a break from many of the same Bosa haters the last few years until he decided to be a force again this year. And yet it was taboo to even raise a question about James, meanwhile, Bosa is everyone's whipping boy.
Just saying, fair is fair.

Every season we have a small number of members that decide to spend the year bitching 2 or 3 players. They hound the ones they are after. I suppose they think they can convince the team to cut those players. When those players do finally move on to some other team, they quickly start up on someone else. They must get some sort of fun by doing that.

Yep. We're the favorite and should win. I don't think we're here by accident.

To the Bosa haters: I'm his sponsor and post-season is the reason. Joey had 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles in reg season. It's time to get hot. 2 sacks and a FF vs Hou.

Spot on. The hate for Bosa is unfounded and there is a conscious effort to ignore any good play he makes. The coaches see it, they refuse to believe the coaches.

Any news on Slaters MRI?

[Maniaque 6]

For Bosa, with all the stupid penalties he takes and the salary he receives, he has to take criticism.

Wishing he wouldn't commit stupid penalties is not hating on him. We recognize the talent.

True but how does the same player get 2 offside penatlies every game?

[cmplxgal]

No update on Slater, but this seems to be legitimate and just posted to the transactions thread: Ezekiel Elliott is signing with the Chargers.

We were winning until our LB- DBs discover that Murray really had some wheels. We won't make that mistake again.
We were a different team then. Herbert's inj struggles and general O scheme fit was not at current level.15-, 17 L. Bummer.
I don't see Hou holding us under 20. Their avg isn't that good. We don't commit many errors , we'll score 20+.. They won't.

The game at JAX 2 years ago was a nightmare
Bosa was part of it, that's the least we can say.
