Houston D standing strong, could and quite possibly should be 14-0 down inside of 7 minutes.

The way the Texans offence has started, 6-0 might be enough to win it for the Chargers.

The way the Texans offence has started, 6-0 might be enough to win it for the Chargers.

What’s been the difference this season? Poor O-line play? Tactics, as it were? Both?

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

O-line is a weakness. But no more than it was last season. Stroud down 2 top receivers, more interceptions, too many plays for loss (especially on 1st down). Mixon started the season well but faded. Ryans and Slowik too conservative.

 

[Jack Regan]

Defense and now Special Teams coming up big for them so far.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

What a pointless interception!

 

[Jack Regan]

Herbert decides to show sympathy for Stroud.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

At least Herbert returned the favour.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Lucky it wasn't intentional grounding for a safety, then lucky to turn a broken play into 30+ yards, and lucky that pass was dropped incomplete.
Maybe the game is not over.

 

[Jack Regan]

It'll be quite amusing if somehow the Texans go in at the half in front.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Woo hoo

 

[Jack Regan]

From the one too.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

So who had Stroud for the longest run of the half?

 

[Jack Regan]

That injury to the Chargers kick off returner on the last play of the half sums up how things have gone for them.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Good news - a half time lead, defence suffocating Herbert, offence grew into the game.
Bad news - Texans usually struggle in the 2nd half, 4 point lead is nothing.
The team that wins will be the one whose coaches make the best changes. Harbaugh is the better HC.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Don't start the half with a fumble!

 

[Jack Regan]

Was in the process of typing that not even Jim Harbaugh can stop the fact that the Chargers are gonna charger, then they force a fumble.

Neither of these sides appear want to to win. Admittedly neither are getting past the next round if they do.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

... then they go for it on 4th down, and fail.

Every play is a momentum changer.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

From the one too.

It took me 40 minutes to work that one out.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yet another pick.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Both sides trying to lose
