4 Carries after being up 28-7

Players are always gassed in the first game of the season because nobody ever plays a full game in the preseason. With the restrictions in practice time this year, it's sure to be more pronounced in the first game or two.

And that explains why Houston got better as the game progressed and we got worse?

We're the Eagles gassed in the first quarter? They sure didn't look it.

Texans are used to playing physical games.

Our guys are still out of shape from the country club lifestyle from the past 6 years. :P

How many guys are still on the Chargers from 6 years ago?

Honestly I think a lot of it was the Texans just controlling the clock and not letting us get into any rhythm. But I agree, the running game seemed to vanish there in the 2nd half. Why can't we give Mathews the ball 25 times once and see what happens? Last night was perfect for that up 28-7.

This article may explain why.....Matthews doesn't have the stamina.

What article?

It's linked in my post.

Ah, it didn't show like it was a hyperlink! I saw that and a reporter's observation that he appeared to tire doesn't really hold much meaning to me. It could be true, but it wasn't something I noticed while watching the game.

The Texans must have missed that memo.

However many it is, they still stink from the Norv stench.

Maybe it will just take a few games to get rid of the Norv stench. Nov is like a skunk!

Norv wasn't that bad.

These results prove it. He is just the guy people love to hate.

The difference between good play calling and bad play calling is mainly the success of the plays.
