Both games are winnable for Houston. Both will be defensive battles. Chargers and Steelers have two of the best HCs in the league. Looking forward to the wild card round and a fresh start!

Of the coaches remaining in the AFC playoffs, is Demeco better than any of them?

Don't like matchup with chargers
Feels like we will be close but not get it done

We all speak of Luv U Blue and think of the Oilers however it was the fans that made that real. The fans created an atmosphere of total belief and love for the team. Texans could use a slogan that brings all of the fans together with the State of Texas. It will be the fans that inspire our players to never bow the heads on the field. Bring on the Chargers

Maybe they're hoping it will be Stafford against the Lions again?

Knew it was coming but still, SMDH.
8 playoff appearances, 8 Saturday 3:30 games.

The wild card game has always been the early Sat game. 8 for 8.

Is it a bad time slot? It seems like our matchup with LAC should be a better game than DEN@BUF or WAS@TB, but that could just be my opinion.

I'm not sure what to expect against San Diego. If we're right, we can win. If we're not, it'll be a garbage game. Guess it's really just as simple as that.

I like this Chargers matchup at home. This is probably the best WC game for the Texans.

From football and watching perspective, I love that time slot. But it's typically the game that is expected to draw the fewest viewers.
Ok got it and thanks.
Unlike the Texans & the Chargers, both the Broncos and Bills are arguably national draws
and therefor probaby atttract a larger audience but not sure about the Was-TB game.

After our last performance at home, I'd like to believe that DeMeco and the Texans will focus up and not let it happen again. I'm hoping for a similar result from last season. We got beat badly by the Browns on Christmas, and then on Wild Card weekend whooped that ass.

I anticipated as much. If I'm not mistaken we were home dogs against the Browns last year in the Wild Card round as well.

This is the best matchup we can get. And thinking long term… Steelers are the best option to knock off the Ravens being a division rival who has already done it once this season.
Were I not a Texans fan WAS@TB would be the game I'd look forward to the most.

I think overall this will be a good matchup. Each team has beaten only one playoff team this year. Chargers beat the Broncos and we beat the Bills. I do believe we will have a much better home game showing after that debacle on Christmas. It's playoff football, so every team has to play their best ball. Hoping we can pull this off. Just like last year against the Browns, many "experts" and analysts will be taking the Chargers.
Wild-Cards for the NFC ain't no picnic.
My prediction? All 6 wild cards go down vs. the division winners.

BUENO!
I felt like this for a little while. Sobriety kicked in however.

If we score 24+ against the Chargers, we'll win. Ideal path to the SB would be Divisional against the Chiefs followed by Conference against the Bills. We can beat both teams. If we end up against the Ravens, it's over.

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to sign running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad Tuesday pending a physical, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Does anyone think that Ezekiel Elliott will play against us on Saturday?

I’ve come to like the 3:30 Saturday time slot. It belongs to the Texans. During the dark period, I resented other teams in this slot. Now, everything is back to normal.
I guarantee Harbaugh is going to do something DeMeco ain't ready for.

I think our defense is going to dominate this game. I expect Stroud and the offense to put up 30 points.

Harbaugh's experience is the major edge the Chargers have. It feels like to me that the Chargers are the media's "hot" team in the AFC this year in the playoffs, similar to the Browns last year before we destroyed them in the Wild Card round. This isn't a guaranteed win for either team. We will see what happens.
I honestly kind of prefer the early slot Saturday because we can just get it out of the way. We learn our fate early on and can deal with the pain and frustration of the loss right away. Or we win and can celebrate all weekend and sit back and relax a bit while the remaining teams duke it out.

You realize the Chargers have the #1 scoring defense and have allowed 30 points only twice all year and the Texans have scored 30 only twice all year?
I love your optimism

Regular season games at noon and the 3:30 Saturday playoff game. Life as a Texans fan. I like it.
