The Los Angeles Chargers are back in the playoffs in their first year under Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz's leadership!
Ryan Watkins has done an amazing job breaking down the scouting reports on both sides of the ball this week. In case you missed it, here is his in-depth look at how the Bolts' offense will fare against the Texan's defense, and how Jesse Minter's defense can gain an edge against Houston's offense.
In the final injury report, we learned that Joshua Palmer will be OUT for the Bolts (and later saw Ja'Sir Taylor moved to the IR), and Shaq Mason OUT for the Texans. A handful of other players on each side had some "Questionable" tags, but no "Doubtfuls."
This has been one heck of a season with all of you, and I'm excited to be tuned in to catch this playoff game with you all. Let's get excited and enjoy some Chargers playoff football!
Hey hey, thank you Kyle! I just cracked a beer....we actually have SNOW here in southeastern VA so another reason to celebrate. 🙂
I predict some heartstopping brain fart moments for the Chargers balanced by ecstatic joy. You know, a Chargers game but with the feeling we're gonna win. Still pretty foreign but I sure like it.
Bolts prevail and that's the most I'll predict. Yes, I'm mildly superstitious.
Let's do this. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Let's go, Buck! I'm so fired up!!!
Btw buddy - I just flat out turned off "spam" control for the time being to try and correct the issues you were having the other week.
If we get big enough to where spamming is a problem, we can turn it back on and troubleshoot more... but for now it seems to have just caused more trouble than good.
Super excited. About to head to the store to pick up provisions. Butt will meet couch around noon PST and stay there for the duration—unless, of course, I have to jump out of my seat.
I’ll be watching Tart and Ford early. If they can plug running lanes and get Stroud off schedule, I like the Chargers’ chances.
Also, I’m going to try to sync Chargers radio with the CBS broadcast. DJ and Money give the Charger-centric insights that I find super helpful in-game. If I can manage it, and they say anything of note, I’ll post it here.
I'll be on Paramount+. Hopefully my feed will neither spoil the joy nor hasten the pain.
Is it odd to say FTR today?
I'm excited to see what happens, parttly because this is exactly the kind of game the pre-Harbaugh Chargers would lose in disappointing fashion by coming out flat and unready to play.
I'm pretty confident we won't see that today. Here's hoping.
I’m hoping Harbaugh has made all the necessary sacrifices to the football gods. My biggest reasons for optimism today are Harbaugh, Minter, and Herbert. You’re right about previous Charger games. This seems like one of those ones that would have Phil throwing 62 times, 34 times in the 4th quarter. That’s not a sustainable plan.
I fully agree with this. I also love that Ryan pointed out that our tendency to run heavy packages with Matlock and Fisk plays into the Texans' defensive weaknesses. Hopefully that works out in our favor!
Who's got it better than us???!!!
Inactive report includes:
Gus Edwards (bad)
Denzel Perryman (very bad)
Rashawn Slater (very, very, very bad)
First radio update: Justin Herbert deputized Ben Herbert to keep media away from his pre-game speech. Could you imagine being some poor dude with a microphone running afoul of Ben Herbert?
God damn I am so nervous for this game. I so badly want a good game and a win for Herbert. I feel like he deserves it so much. Time for everybody to put some respect on his name.
Ball first. Let’s gooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Zion with a big block on the first down run.
Great catch by Ladd.
