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

[Boltx]

Never say never. Dude was pretty much useless in the regular season, but the playoffs is a whole new season.

I'm glad he caught that TD in the final game. Hopefully a springboard for things to come.

No Palmer and a gimpy QJ/JK makes me doubtful.

Gonna need an elite performance from the defense. If defense or STs can get a score...it would change things dramatically.

Chargers 6-5 in same. Stroud threw 12 picks to Herbert's 3. Hou allows a TD per game more than LAC. Etc.
There's a reason we're favored but the team that makes fewest mistakes probably gets the W. Go Bolts!

I guess I haven’t seen Stroud’s bad games but I’ve sure seen enough good ones where he has command of all the throws.

I would prefer being the underdog in this game.

Agree. And global warming ends on January 21 plus the Feds will be raking up the leaves on all the federal lands. The end of wildfires is a mere two weeks away.

Fire season in California anymore is 24-7, 365 days a year. It's insane but a way of life anymore.

Maybe Stroud threw 12 picks in one game you didn't see. Let it be so again when we face them. Go Bolts!

Bobby Slowik doesn't sound impressed by Chargers D

He will, come Saturday.

True this. It seems these days the Santa Anas can crop up at any time of the year.

[Leslie Grossman]

They are not out of water, they are out of water pressure at higher elevations due to too much use.

LOL

Their last 7 weeks were 3L- 3W and a bye. Scary.

We were actually 7-4 outside our division.

But a full strength Houston offense would have had a better record and would probably be favored over us. Can't take this game
lightly just because we are favored. Houston's D is legit and they are very good against the pass. We've been living off the pass, so this
game can get very interesting.

Good news Slater looks like he'll play. But QJ, Dobbins questionable, not good.

The fires have nothing to do with global warming. My son in law is a Captain in CAL FIRE who is working on the fires. It is first and foremost the idiotic decision prioritize appeasing certain environmental groups and Indian tribes at the expense of forest management. Add in the budget cuts, lack of water/water pressure and a couple of other issues that are probably too polarizing to put in here and we have the perfect storm of incompetence that results in this.

Are you kidding me????? I agree with you. I absolutely agree with you.

I do think Global Warming has something to do with it. We don’t get Santa Ana’s in January usually September October. 100 miles an hour Santa Ana’s we don’t get that.

Add dry weather drought no rain. That’s what you get.

I think all what you said is true and I believe that. That’s what led to this. And it’s exactly what they did. Pray for everybody and hope they recover and hope it never happens again.

Crazy week I remember the big fires here during Covid sky was orange like nothing I’ve ever seen. Looks like Calabasas is about to burn those homes are massive. I’ve been watching this all week took a little of my steam for the game to be honest.

Herbert has the best QBR on play-action of all the playoff QBs. The Texans' OL has struggled to protect Stroud all season.
