The Chargers can still win the AFC West.
You look at the Texans, Who, week over week, month over month, in this season have revealed themselves to be super.
Bowl contenders.
Like, on paper, in theory.
This game right now is a ho, ho, ho.
But I think after the first quarter, I’m gonna be like, ‘No, no, no, no,’ whenever I see Justin Herbert get absolutely murdered out.
There on the football field.
That Texans defensive front, the best in the NFL, hands down.
Point blank, period.
Against that Chargers offensive line that… Actually, they called me yesterday and said, “Hey, any chance you could” Hmm.

… You know, make it out here, you know, for the Game tomorrow?
Maybe they’ll throw some pads on you,” because That’s how desperate the Chargers are on the offensive line.
So right now it’s a ho, ho, ho.
I fear it’s going to be a no.
No, no, after maybe five minutes of gameplay, 10 minutes, if we want to be generous.
Uh, you’re not wrong.
This, this game though.
It’s a… it’s a… ho, ho… this Jingle Bell Rock for me.
And I’ll say it, it rocks for me Because of what’s at stake.
At some pointyeah.
… We’re going to have to figure out who these two teams particularly are.
I’m not sure that there are two teams harder to project for the playoffs than what we’ve.

Seen here, because you’re right.
The Chargers’ D is decimated.
But that man right there is C.J.
Stroud.
I just watched that offense struggle against a Putrid Raiders team.
Now, was that the Texans looking ahead to this?
Matchup?
I guess that’s what we may want to make it.
But let’s be honest.
If this were the…
If we’d seen the same productivity from this, Offense, but they were the Philadelphia Eagles, we’d be yelling and screaming about it.
Right?
Like, I don’t know why we’re not paying more.
Attention to how off, uh, how broken the offense has been.
But it has been broken.
So this is a real test game to me.
It’s a real chance to learn which one of these teams we think can make a playoff run instead.
Of just being a pretty good football team.
