[Houston turmOiler]

Schaub with the 3 yard pass on 3rd and 9

I dislike both teams, but my god did the Chargers get screwed on that game changing penalty. I will honestly fell bad if they lose this thing.

How did they get screwed? It's a new rule, but it's in the books, and both teams should know about it. It wasn't a bad call, was it?

You can hit the center. You just can't clobber him in the head. The NG was simply rushing the kicker.

Ok if you say so. They acted like it was legit on TV.

No they didn't.

Foster stands on the sidelines for this most recent series. Come on Kubiak, game on the line, play your best guys.

 

[Mister CIA]

Schaub with the 3 yard pass on 3rd and 9

To the sideline no less.

 

[Ignoramus]

Schaub with the 3 yard pass on 3rd and 9

Although everyone else was covered.

 

[Annyong]

I can't remember, why doesn't the clock stop when they run out of bounds?

 

[GregR]

I hate it when players have yellow shoes. I'm continually thinking the refs threw a flag.

 

[Nucker101]

Man, for Mathews owners this is almost as bad as under Norv. He's out on 3rd (expected) but also out on the hurry up offense. And even out on 1st and 2nd. I think he's had like 20 snaps all night and most of them have been runs between the tackles. Why don't they get him outside or run a draw play?

Yeah, I think you can expect more of the same this year. The worst part is that he's literally given the least valuable touches, almost no TD potential and not many catch opportunities if he doesn't get in on third down, goal line, hurry-up/2 min packages.

 

[Ignoramus]

Cushing leaves the field... looks like cramps.

 

[Buckna]

Nice heads up play by Earl Mitchell.

Cushing down?!? Nooooooo!!!!!!

 

[Mikey16x]

Honestly? I've never seen a faster fall from grace. Rivers is looking god awful.

Edit: On a side note, has anybody seen a franchise so horrible at adding pieces? What did the Chargers do this off-season?

 

[timschochet]

Nice 3rd down pass by Rivers.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Looks like cramps

 

[Statorama]

Is Rivers one of the most annoying people on the planet

And has a really bad haircut

 

[GregR]

Have they even gone to a commercial in the last 20 minutes?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Foster stands on the sidelines for this most recent series. Come on Kubiak, game on the line, play your best guys.

He is. Tate is simply a stronger and faster runner than Foster now.

 

[Mister CIA]

I will go to church on Sunday if Andre Johnson catches a touchdown.

 

[Mark Davis]

Gotta have a TD out of Foster, Johnson, or Matthews the rest of the way. Not looking good.

 

[Ignoramus]

You must have missed them piss away a 24-0 lead vs. the Broncos last year.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000080962/article/denver-broncos-pull-off-shocking-comeback-vs-san-diego-chargers

 

[Daywalker]

Hard to believe that is a Johnson record.

 

[lazyike]

Forgive me, earlier in this game I was thinking of picking up Rivers off of waivers as my QB2

 

[Statorama]

Gotta have a TD out of Foster, Johnson, or Matthews the rest of the way. Not looking good.

You think you have it bad, I'm holding on for a 50+ yarder from Bullock

 

[Buckna]

How is there still 9:30 left? Man, lots of time.

That went by fast.

 

[Eminence]

Tate does look good. Might be time to pawn off Foster. Not for free of course, but the way Tate is running he definitely deserves carries.

 

[Eminence]

Hopefully Foster is just hurt.

 

[Mark Davis]

I'd trade ya right about now. Looks like they may be setting up for a FG.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I can't remember, why doesn't the clock stop when they run out of bounds?

Agreed. Whatever the reason, its dumb.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

I'd rather see Tate right now

 

[CowboysHomer]

I think every play Foster has been in they've run it. Would be nice to see him get a pass thrown to him. makes it quite easy for the D to key on him. Seeing three Chargers at the point of attack every rush play for Houston (whether Foster or Tate), they're too predictable.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

San Diego sports radio should be fun after this.

Not at all. They've emptied him out of the backfield on a number of plays.

 

[Buckna]

Andre!

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Andre Johnson getting single coverage.

 

[Ignoramus]

He's had a handful of drops and a couple of catches, including one very nice one. Off the top of my head, I'd say 5 or 6 targets for him.

 

[GregR]

Like on that play, Foster split out wide.

Ummmm....Foster has 6 receptions this game

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Cmon Texans

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Sorry San Dieogians.

 

[Mikey16x]

The Chargers need a new, new coach. Their offensive play calls tonight have been laughable..

 

[Buckna]

Tate does look good. Might be time to pawn off Foster. Not for free of course, but the way Tate is running he definitely deserves carries.

Bad for fantasy but would be good forthe Texans. Foster had too many carries last year with Tate injured. Their running styles are very different so it would be a bit of thunder and lightning.

 

[renesauz]

Don't know if I want him to hit this so I can sleep,

or miss praying for 8 more from Foster or Daniels

 

[Ignoramus]

Oooh, ice the kicker.

 

[Buckna]

Alright Bullock, time to redeem yourself.

 

[GregR]

Whew.

 

[renesauz]

NIce comeback Texans.

Good night all

 

[ponchsox]

Nice comeback

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Woooo Hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GregR]

Charger fans I feel for ya.

 

[Ignoramus]

Nice win. Somebody get Kubiak on the horn and get me my game ball.

 

[Buckna]

Hou has had nothing go there way since the very first bobbled kickoff return but they can't rely on that as an excuse. Good teams go in and make adjustments and find a way to fight back. The Texans of old would fold at this point, they better not revert. Let's see what you're made of.

These are not the Texans of old. Great job powering back after a poor first half.
