Well it's time to hit somebody you don't share a locker room with. I would love to see us execute well, have our second, third and other stringers play fast, as a team and NOBODY get hurt.......

Go Bolts!!!

Houston defense is called '85 Bears comparable.

Houston offensive line concerns and Abrams underperformance are sidestepped.

This is a Super Bowl favorite team.

Some of the same type of stuff is overstated with the Chargers.

Mesidor puts us on course to have a strong defense.

The combination of Justin Herbert + McDaniel will be lethal, it is reasonable to project.

This is a playoff team...barely.

As we start this 2026 campaign, it is interesting that this is apparently the tale of two similar yet entirely different teams, at least in the eyes of many.

Crush it.

The site was down earlier on so I started hyperventilating!

[Bolt-O]

I thought I shut it down when I posted a reminder to not ask for a stream to be posted to the GDT, lol. (We can't do that).

I'm spoiled.
I got my Padres turning things around and now football is finally back.

Glad we're back!

I’ve tried tuning into games on radio, but none reach San Diego. I guess I could stream those stations, but I’d rather 2 AAA batteries do the heavy lifting. I have NFL+ so I can watch on my iPhone, but some games may be blacked out for me.

NFLN is also replaying the game at 2am.
FYI.

Will be interesting to see if any back up OL stand out. Also watching the back up QB battle and some of our RBs. Colson and Kennard are both on bust watch.

Actually excited to see who stands out for the young players. The amount of depth now compared to 4 years ago is mind boggling. I remember watching a game against i believe the Seahawks a couple years ago and the amount of talent between the teams second and third teams was great

Go Bolts!!!

It will be interesting to see if any Chargers OL stand out. Like if whoever is out there makes a successful block. Houston crushed our OL in past meetings.I strongly doubt that Alt and Slater play. I wonder if we attempt any team zone blocking and how much we run successfully.
Our D is better than Hou offense. no worries there win or lose. Just stay healthy.
