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

[Velo]

For those living in a bubble, these wildfires are horrendous. Personally, I don’t recall any that are this bad. And I packed and was ready to evacuate in the 2003 (2004?) San Diego wildfire.

First thing I thought of when I turned on the news this morning is if the Chargers are going be able to practice outdoors this week. Palisades is only about 10 air miles from The Bolt. Then cmplxgal posted a tweet saying the Chargers were limiting outside time. They may have to fly to a different place to finish practicing. The Rams are hosting a playoff game at SoFi this weekend.

Today's injury report updates ... looks like Q came down with a bug, hope he can clear it for Sat. Slater, Perryman, Fehoko, Zion, and Apple back to FP

Not looking good for JP.

They seemed to drop into a hole when the lost Dell. Collins is nails, key receiving threat. Schultz is a Dissly+, not a huge threat. Mixon is legit, the Chargers are going to have to get after him or he can cause damage

Yes. After Nico Collins the WR depth chart is not scary, not based on what they did (or didn't do) this season. As you say, Schultz is barely better than Dissly. The Texans traded for Stefon Diggs in the off-season to bolster their WR depth in wake of Dell's season-ending injury as rookie last year. But they lost Diggs for the season with an ACL tear in late Oct. Then in Dec they lost Dell to a knee injury that is so gruesome it makes me queasy thinking about it. He won't play again until 2026 at the earliest. Collins missed 5 games with a hamstring injury and has only been back a few weeks. The Texans have had massive bad luck with WR this season and it's killed their offense and hamstrung Stroud. They did beat out the Bolts for Diontae Johnson, but I don't know if he has played for them yet.

I thought they lost Diggs earlier, i gotta go look that up ...

... dangit if you're not always right - last game was Oct 27. he was on pace to a 100/1000 season

Johnson played last weekend. 2 RECs on 4 targets, 12 yards. I wish we would have got him, personally. Better than Lakehavasu they just released.

When I was a boy in the '60s I used to have dreams about a past life that to this day I feel pretty strongly I did indeed live. My most recent past life before this life. I was born into this life in 1957. In my previous life I was a salesman in Chicago. I drove a lot. I was killed in an auto accident while driving a 1949/50 Ford Tudor. I was about 40. I also believe I was alive in the 1890s, in another previous life. I'm fascinated with that time period, and when I read about it or see photos from that era, it seems very familiar.

I have read about the kid you are talking about, dying after being shot down in WWII. He was adamant. It's so similar to my own experience.

Very, very cool. Absolutely fascinating. Do you remember what your name was in either of those times? That is so cool!

I heard they were flying out to Houston tomorrow afternoon. So they can get acclimated. They will be able to practice there on Friday

We must have all been guilty of bad shit if we reincarnated into Charger fans.

Jk.

No, I don't remember that much detail, I don't remember who I was specifically. I remember cityscapes with sky scrapers and driving a lot. I recall dying while driving that specific car model, the 1949/50 Ford Tudor had a very distinct front grill and bumper, and the first time I saw one in this life it brought back instant recall of having driven one, even though I was just a boy at the time. In the dreams I never felt any pain or suffered trauma within the dream from dying in an auto accident. I was on a multilane inner city highway and it was at night. When I was a child into young adulthood I had numerous dreams that can't be explained. For example, one night when I was 18 I dreamed my best friend and my younger sister were in an auto accident together, the next morning I learned they had indeed been in an accident the previous night, right at the time I was dreaming it. There were other instances of such dreams I had, even more unreal, I won't go into them. I still dream prolifically, but I don't have dreams like that, where something I dreamed actually happens. I haven't had a dream about a previous life since I was a boy.

That is cool, don't want them to fry their lungs inhaling wildfire smoke. If the fires persist and the Chargers advance in the playoffs, I wonder if they will move to another venue for practice during the week, like Arizona maybe.

I was going to ask you if you are an intuitive or psychic. I want to know about the other dreams too. Maybe another time? I really want to know!

I have never considered myself a psychic or intuitive. The dreams I've had are always about personal things or people I am connected with. I had other dreams involving my younger sis while she was living that can only be described as psychic. I can't explain it. We were not twins. But we were so-called "Irish twins," she was born less than 10 months after me in 1958.
