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

[Bolt4Knob]

Long Popper piece. Bosa and Mack please have a memorable playoff run together. It could be epic.

Good read

It seems like both think this could be the last year together with the Chargers. Bosa and Mack already took pay cuts for this year. My guess the market will only be a bit smaller and moving forward, I think both would be best used as part-time players. And the Chargers can probably only pay for one of these two in that role

I just hope they have a solid playoff run -

Joey - no more offsides please

You guys are a better team than the Texans I think.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

we must stop Joe Mixon and Pierce. Must. Don't let him go James Connors on us

Concur.

The Bolts need big games from Poona Ford, Otito, and Teair Tart.

If the IDL takes care of business, all should be well.

The better coach will win this one, and that's Harbaugh.

Keenan Allen is frustrated, IMO, at how the previous year has played out. He made the decision not to take a pay cut, like Bosa and Mack both did, in order to stay with the team that drafted him, with the young QB that he's had much success with. He knew that would lead to a trade. He was traded to the team that had the rights to Caleb Williams, who was hyped as the 2nd coming of Mahomes. His new team was a flaming disaster, his new QB a borderline bust. Meanwhile the rookie WR his old team drafted to replace him has broken his rookie records and is heading into the playoffs on the momentum of a 3 game win streak with an offense that is on fire.

This shows them as 5th youngest team. And I agree - lets keep it that way

Seven of the 8 youngest teams are in the playoffs. The only one that is not is the Raiders. What does that say?

Nailed it. I would imagine the past 6 months have been difficult in the Allen household.

Is there any confirmation to Ghost's post about him quitting on the Bears last game? I don't know if its accurate or just a mis-impression (which we all can have from a single play here or there).

If he really just chucked it up knowing it was a shit pass, and then after he was intercepted he just stuck his hands in his warmer pocket and didn't even bother to try to help get the returning DB ... thats pretty bad in my book. Frustration or not, I have trouble with it if its really true. I didn't see it, don't know how "bad" it was.

I don't want a guy who quit on his last team. We all have to sleep in the beds we make.

Texans fanboy writer predicts Mixon150 rush yds, Herbert 2 picks, Stroud 0 turnovers.

The only bold prediction he left out was that they also score 42 points.

Maybe. Money was obviously the most important thing to him and he got it. Now he is a FA and will get more money, though obviously at a reduced rate. By refusing to take the pay cut, he is $4 or $5 million richer for it at the expense of no post season. Again.

i hope this link works. yes, bad look for Keenan. on the plus side, it might hurt his market value, if we do want him.
