Chargers at Houston playoff game thread

[Thrivefourfive]

The Chargers know how to play defense. With Harbaugh, they built from the bottom up. Round #1- Alt. Boom! There ya go. Herbert is talented and seems to be playing to script (he’s no longer a puffed media QB God, thank God) so this Chargers team is no fluke. They’re a problem. 
 

Bills will no doubt do what Bengals did to Broncos a few weeks ago: show them, Not on our watch. But next up is the Chargers. They need to be put down by one of the big three now.

 

Feels like our AFC playoff Big Three needs to smack the newcomers until they’re gone and then turn on each and see it out to the end. Bills gonna get this one. 
 

Oh, and Jesus. The difference a coach makes

[GunnerBill]

Houston have only called that one pass play all night. Presumably LA didn't defend it there because the law of averages was they must call another concept at some point?

[UKBillFan]

The Texans took advantage of a dodgy call.

[Scott7975]

Ooof Chargers really blew it on that drive.

[Simstim]

Oh look, a TD.

 

That's nice

Poona Ford is a beast....

Must be a coaching issue

If the Chargers hold them on that 3rd and 16 they would have gotten the ball back with decent field position. They could have scored again and had a two score lead at halftime. Instead they now trail. 

[TheFunPolice]

Pretty good game so far!

 

I hope they have a good backup QB commercial ready for the Superbowl 

[NyQuil]

Texans got massively bailed out with that non-call on grounding in the end zone.

I don't fully agree though. Looser goose QB play...oddball playcalling.... neither team has vested in the run. Lots of sloppy football. 

 

I know Stroud is getting better here....but woof on the early going. 

Don’t know how you want Houston to continue running the ball often. Mixon is getting contact behind the LOS most of the time.

Typical Chargers

Chargers played zero defense on that drive

Another drop by a charges wr.

 

Db was all over him 

[davefan66]

Pressure on Herbert the difference right now. 

[MJS]

That should have been pass interference. He had his arms around him before the ball got there.

[Fan in Chicago]

Herbert soooo inaccurate

[RobbRiddick]

McConkey is a hell of a player but needs to buy a child's size helmet

Has Houston ever not had the first game of the weekend when they made the playoffs?

Nope. 8 WC games, all home, all Saturday 1st game.

Ball was behind and over him

This group of pass catchers is hopeless
