1. Dont even want to hear this bs when literally the drive before the chargers got the EXACT same call with the exact same circumstances, and it put them at the goal line. Rich Eisen can stf all the way up with his complaining about it one way amd not the other. Hilarious how when its the team he likes he sees it as a fair call and when it goes against you its shady and turned the outcome of the game. He really sucked in the booth tonight.

2. If you gonna call that, then they should add the Offensive PI at the top

3. The NFL will do anything to help black quarterbacks.

4. they need to legalize defenders stopping receivers in their routes so you can be right. Let's go!

5. Oh please! Chargers lost!!

6. I always get a chuckle out of someone calling a penalty a Ticky tack call when there is clear evidence that there was a foul made according to the rule book. If you're going to pick and choose which penalties you call and which ones you don't then what's the use of having a rule book Let's just throw it out. Every team in the NFL and probably every team that plays football at any level has had calls that affected a game and while some of those calls are Highly Questionable there are also a lot of calls which were not made which were so obvious that a blind person could have made the call and yet no call was made so let's just allow things to be done the way they're done because as long as humans are involved in making the the calls there will be errors because humans are fallible.

7. Starting to notice a pattern here fellas? I don't believe people still watch this shit product. It's clearly fucking rigged and nobody gives a fuck about it cause your face and mind is buried in your fantasy leagues and gambling and not the game itself or the purity of it. The NFL is straight fucking garbage. I haven't spent a single penny on this shit for over 10 years. I barely even can stay tuned when I stream steelers games cayse the game is such fucking bullshit. It's allllll about the refs making and breaking games steering them one way or another. Such a shame what has hapoened to the game, the players that sacrificed their body when the game still meant something and all the fans that made the NFL what it was and goodwill and 32 piece of shit owners turned their back on them, their real true fan base that actually spent money amd went to games and bought merchandise for decades and now it's all about TV co tracts and gambling they don't even give a fuck anymore about winning or losing cayse all the money is divided up equally and the new wave of "fans" that watch don't even care to complain about the shit show that the sport is. Over fucking politicized bullshit league, trying to get women involved. Women don't watch. They watch the superbowl halftime show which is akways some bullshit artist geared towards women and black people so they can make their political stance about how unfair their lives are yet they are all millionaires and there's hundreds of minority millionaires on the field during that game the commercials are all gay and ridiculously over priced and the women only watch the game for the commercials and the shitty halftime show. Women ain't sle ding money or. Going to games on their own dime. But yet it's all driven towards birches. This game is fucking GARBAGE. AND THE OWNERS LOVE IT.

8. There was a similar call earlier in the game that benefited the Chargers on their TD drive. Their WR ran into a stationary DB and got the call.

9. I would've had more sympathy if our TE didn't get kneed in the back of the head and smacked in the face, with no call. But when he shoved the guy who did it then the guy flopped he got a penalty. wtf? At that point I don't care how we won.

10. The same call was on the Texans show that also

11. TLDR just show it

12. Longtime suffering Charger fan here. Yeah that penalty was cheap but, rewind to all the dropped passes, fumbles, missed extra point and field goals committed by the Bolts and they deserved to lose. Why do I follow these clowns?.

13. Looks like the receiver initiated the contact first.

14. its clear that houston texans are NFLs new team after the chiefs got eliminated. so rigged. and vegas bets too i think.

15. Horse shit. The refs screwed the Texans at least 7 times before this play. You people need to stop crying

16. If Charger 29 was illegal then so was 19 Houston on the same play. So either call both or neither, I don’t care. Yellow flags shouldn’t decide games like this with so much on the line.

17. So no one's gonna saw anything about the WR steamrolling the defender in the background 😅

18. This is the same referee crew (Carl Cheffers) that made two massive OPI calls to decide the Lions vs Steelers game two weeks ago…and now another extremely questionable flag that decided the ending to the Chargers vs Texans game. Also would like to add that this referee crew was suspended earlier this year after their performance in the Bucs vs Hawks game in week 5 (they are the only referee crew to be suspended this year).

19. If you look closely at the top of the video you can clearly see offensive PI clear as day the defender gets pushed over

20. The receiver on the outside, who he originally focused on, blatantly committed offensive pass interference, pushing the db down who did not cut in front of him.

21. What the hell is "ticky tacky"? "This is only a little past five yards", is akin to saying", she is only a little pregnant.

22. Stop crying….Texans got killed with bs penalties! So wtfe

23. Break down the penalty against the Texans

24. 2 WR with OPI. You can't call this. WR should just run up and push the defender every play now. Chargers got robbed and the roughing the passer call was terrible

25. The Chargers had only 3 penalties for the whole game. You can't blame the refs. Maybe if their kicker doesn't totally crap the bed things might have gone differently.

26. A lot of Texans fans coming out to completely disregard the situational impact of their call in their favour.

    The same thing happened on their roughing the passer on Henley which pushed them into field goal range.

    As others have said, by this point Stroud was on his way down, the pocket was gone, and there's a potential OPI at the top of the screen – Texans got away with folding after the first quarter. It reeks of the Chiefs fans who defended the calls that propelled them to an undeserved super bowl last season.

    Chargers didn't help themselves, kickers sabotaging their efforts, but if you think this warrants deciding the future of 4 NFL teams? Cmon.

27. Ticky tacky? Lol he literally stepped in front of him and grabs him. Not sure there is a clearer version to show of the rule being broken

28. The receiver new exactly how to get the call. The plan was to run directly into the defender. You can see the receiver had his arms out planning the contact

29. Automatic first down with a 5 yard penalty when the offense has 9 yards to go is stupid.

30. The DB grabbed and rode the slot WR for 3 yards downfield before the WR turned inside. His buddy CB rode #19 for 3 yards before falling down in hopes of drawing an offensive PI. Neither foul was ticky-tack. How could ANY NFL offense be expected to operate when completely wrapped up? The author of the video simply doesn't have the nads to say his first impressions (and video) were incorrect.🎉

31. How about the contact from the other receiver in the video.

32. It's difficult to take him seriously when he can't even pronounce his R's.

33. Rich Eisen is good as a host on the NFL network but one of the worst play by play announcers of all time. SO SAD, in my humble opinion. Eisen is right there with pre-season female announcer making one want to turn the game off.

34. It was PI. How could you say otherwise?

35. Worst case it was illegal contact receiver was past the 5 yd threshold or best case should have been defensive holding the end

36. And the refs let the chargers get away with a lot of his calls the entire game! One of the sacks, you clearly see the Texans defender being held and tackled while he reaches out and sacks Herbert by his foot. We got the sack, but clearly a hold and no call.

    And the unsportsman like call on our tightend after after the Chargers defensive lineman put both knees into his back/ neck and slaps his face mask in front of the ref AFTER the play was dead.

    Don't blame the refs. You lost. Period.

    Stop listening to the commentators telling you that you were gong to win because who they think you are.

37. This is the whiniest, loser post of the day. You got beat, with the refs helping you out the entire game. And you whine about one call that didn't go you're way. Even though it was the right call! Seriously, you should be ashamed posting this.

38. They called the same call against Texans Pitre a couple of series prior and not to mention Chargers Tart is out there flopping,.
