Texans vs Chargers: 2024 Playoff Wild Card Game thread.

[thunderkyss]

That's what Cj is supposed to look on the sideline, watching the FG attempt, fist pumping after the make & smack Kia'mi on the ass.

 

[KA4Texan]

It's us against them. Don't give up on our boys.

I always root for my team.

Mockery is a coping mechanism.

 

[BullRushTX]

This is the team we wanted all season....don't let up

If they waited for the playoffs to unveil the offense we were expecting, so be it

 

[welsh texan]

This whole half felt like a blowout loss yet we lead 10-6 at the half and receive the ball to start the 2nd half. CJ needs to play like the last 2 drives in the 2nd half not like he has in the 2nd half the rest of this season or for most of this first half.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Keep it going after halftime.

God just wake up. That's all we need.

 

[FlaCAV]

Just squib kick the ball.

Is that a possibility anymore with the new kickoff format?

 

[Thorn]

Where there was no life, there is now life. Reminds me of when I was young, about 4 billion years ago, the Earth stank, didn't have any oxygen, just a bunch of rocks, lava and acid rain. Glad that cleared up.

 

[Hoegarden]

Chiefs and ravens are scared of this Texans team! They don’t want to see us! Slowiks going have the game of his life against those guys

You may want to lay off the liquor this 2nd half

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

I’m proud of how this team fought its way back. DeMeco always has them fighting and multiple players made big time plays putting the team on their backs in the playoffs.

The offense has now shown signs of life. Need to get a td to start the second half. Greg Roman offenses have a lot of trouble when they are playing from behind.

 

[DrumBeatsLouder]

Bet you Kathryn from HEB is ready to ball... put her in!!!

 

[Texansballer74]

Got the momentum going into the half

 

[Mr teX]

Just abandon the run every game...

You mean Abandon Slowik’s game plan every week and just let CJ deal…for better or worse.

 

[DanielTx]

Have 2 go. Hope we win

 

[Earl34]

I think I’ve seen more slants and quick passes to get the ball out of CJ’s hands this half than I saw for the majority of games.

 

[DrumBeatsLouder]

You may want to lay off the liquor this 2nd half

you may want to forget your new year's resolution and besomeone for 30 football minutes.

 

[whodknee]

I'll have what He's having

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

Now, if we can play remaining 2 qtrs like last two positions, we shouldn't have any problem.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I worry about halftime adjustments on the Chargers part. Can we not only outplay them but outcoach them?

 

[Texansphan]

I've never been more proud of my QB running than just now

I think CJ has more yards than the running backs right?

 

[Hoegarden]

There you go CJ. Run the ball when you have the chance

Finally…I have been wanting him to do that all game. Now the defense has to account for that. It really changes the way they have to play defense

 

[thunderkyss]

Texans 214 yards
Chargers 123 yards
am I watching the right game

That's why you can't btch & moan after every play. You win some, you lose some. Sometimes they come in bunches, sometimes they don't... in bunches.

Gotta forget the last play & hope for the next.

 

[TexCanada]

That's what Cj is supposed to look on the sideline, watching the FG attempt, fist pumping after the make & smack Kia'mi on the ass.

Yep we need ass-smackin CJ to show up in the second half

 

[Speedy]

Is that a possibility anymore with the new kickoff format?

It is not. The kick has to land in the landing zone or through the endzone.

 

[Hoegarden]

See CJ run? That's was the longest run of the season

Yup, and he needs to continue to show that threat

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Chargers left the door open by only kicking field goals & and at the last second the Texans charge through. Hopefully this will take a little wind out of the Chargers sails.

The Chargers first drive they had serious momentum so they should have went for it on fourth down deep in Texans territory!

 

[amazing80]

I do not want to see Slowik come out and try to run....just forget it

 

[whodknee]

I think CJ has more yards than the running backs right?

C.J. Stroud#7
Joe Mixon#28

I don't want to be broke... sht happens. Just win. Whatever happens happens.

Nobody but us thinks these guys can win this... nobody but us.

 

[KA4Texan]

Chargers left the door open by only kicking field goals & and at the last second the Texans charge through. Hopefully this will take a little wind out of the Chargers sails.

So... this is how opposing teams felt all season?

So.... as a Texans fan... let me make sure I understand you.... kicking only field goals is NOT an ideal strategy for winning?

 

[Arky]

The fumbled snap/completion to Hutch seemed to put the offense in back-yard-football mode. They started going vertical/chunk plays. Love it. The slants are working big time. Stay vertical.

 

[Mr teX]

I do not want to see Slowik come out and try to run....just forget it

He’s going to..get ready. And honestly, it’s not a bad move considering how CJ has been cutting them up the last few drives.

 

[thunderkyss]

The Chargers first drive they had serious momentum so they should have went for it on fourth down deep in Texans territory!

They got a FG. FG ain't nothing. If the Texans scored two FGs in the 1st half would you be crowing about momentum or planning a lynching?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Mixon is a reliable receiver and he should be involved in that way.

 

[Earl34]

Texans hit Herbert’s arm on two passes and instead of TOs, they were almost completed. So, the fumble and big pass was a break for the Texans.

On the TD pass to Nico, I think Johnson was crossing late and would be wide open. I hope they go back to that play.

 

[amazing80]

I really want to see DJ get some opportunities. He seems to be getting open on the limited snaps I have seen him

 

[Texansballer74]

I think CJ has more yards than the running backs right?

He does.

CJ l: 27 yards

Backs: 20 yards

 

[Texansphan]

Mixon is a reliable receiver and he should be involved in that way.

Slowik needs to uncork some of his trick plays and really put the Chargers on their heels

 

[Hoegarden]

I could go for another fumblerooski

 

[thunderkyss]

 

[Bugman7star]

He does.

CJ l: 27 yards

Backs: 20 yards

Hey, yards on the ground however we can get them

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

They got a FG. FG ain't nothing. If the Texans scored two TDs in the 1st half would you be crowing about momentum or planning a lynching?

I am happy with the outcome so far but let's face it the Chargers moved the ball easily on that first drive and were deep in Texans territory with third and short so I don't think going for it would have been a bad decision. We are winning and deserve it but that doesn't change my mindset!

 

[FlaCAV]

Slowick has a new game plan...go back to the original game plan.

 

[whodknee]

Nico!

 

[Carr Bombed]

YES!!

 

[JB]

Nico Collins!!!

 

[Texazan]

NICO.IS.A.BEAST

 

[Earl34]

What a pass by Stroud

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Another absolute bullet from CJ to Nico!!!!!

 

[TheMatrix31]

************.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Nico is just a physical beast
