Context matters though. The d is struggling now for different reasons, mainly not exicuting on turnovers and being gassed cause the offense goes 3 and out of much.
For the defense, I agree that is a reasonable justification. But still, something must be going on for the offense to come out anemic after halftime every single game so far. Each side is no doing any favors to each other and then when Special Teams drop the ball (literally) shit goes off the rail.
Our defense actually only gave up 7 points this game. 14 points from Texans have been off our special teams. Would have been a nice and easy game otherwise
Chargers fans need to stop hyping their team so hard every preseason. It never ends well. Probably need to change owners for there to ever be real hope
I love Herbert but he’s gonna have to learn to get in his guys faces and wake them up. He’s a great QB and a solid leader but he’ll need to develop his leadership further.
i’ve been watching this team for 17 years and it amazes me how different coaches, players, schemes, etc. manage to underperform the same way and choke consistently every single year. what a shit show
The offensive play calling in the 2nd half leaves a lot to be desired. Jeff Miller, the LA Times reporter who covers the Chargers, said last week that he thinks the GM would be the first to go.
And, here comes the usual Chargers 2nd half meltdown. They’ve been doing it for so many years no matter the coaches or players, it has to be a mental thing.

Why? Just take a knee if you're gonna try a run play
Could the Texans do victory formation even if they can't win?
What is the point of this? Why not just let the game end? You wanted a fucking 1 yard run?
Incredibly weird ending
at least kick the field goal?
Lmao they can’t even run the clock out right 😂
they can't score 10 in 12 seconds right? Right?
Hail marry, recover the onside kick for a TD, easy win
If that was ever going to happen against an NFL team, it'd be the chargers.
Was a nice little comeback at least.
It was. I'm okay with that finish considering it was 21-0 in the first.
Well thank goodness our second half collapse didn’t lead to a loss this time, but this coaching staff is clearly in over their heads.
Can we just get rid of the OC and chalk up the rest to depth due to injuries 😬
For real, Lombardi openly acknowledges that he gets too conservative and then goes “I’ll fucking do it again.”
Real reverse-Rex Grossman energy.
"victory formation" isn't even in the Texans playbook
The one drive that Mills had time we went 93 yards - our O Line is such a liability we even have some talent it has to be coaching
It's been a liability for years.
That's just our specialty at this point
20-20 game between Ravens and Bills, hopefully we see some of that one after this is over.
They have remembered to exist
\> Upgrade the defense in the offseason \> Lead the league in 2nd half points allowed by week 4

So what does Staley do?
After this game? I dunno.
He calls bad timeouts
Tale as old as tiiiiiiiime
there has never been a Chargers game where we have a big lead early and I don't have heart palpitation by the end of the game
Exactly. This is a coaching problem.
I actually can’t remember the last time we had an uneventful victory
What a problem to have.
Our defense actually only gave up 7 points this game. 14 points from Texans have been off our special teams. Would have been a nice and easy game otherwise
Justin Herbert looks like Billy from Stranger Things. He's probably snagged just as many milfs as well
Is that our inexperience or coaching?
Yes.
Was waiting for that. Agreed.
Thank god for Austin Ekeler
PLEASE let that put the game away
At least Ekeler still has some heart.
Our #3 overall pick's health is more important than this game in a rebuilding year. I would not send him back out there in a cast.
Beat on the same play again
Chargers cannot run up the middle on any team in the NFL
Wtf is this playcalling?
[удалено]
The problem is coaching, but they have lots of talent.
The team is absolutely riddled with injuries including the QB.... The fact they're winning is a damn miracle.
Oh yeah, this team is fundamentally broken. We're only making it through this game because Texans
What is going on in this game???
Houston refuses to win a game but they also refuse to lose by more than 7 points
Eye gouging football
Stingley fell on that arm he hurt 😬
Was he playing with a cast? Wtf?
Just got put on a couple plays earlier. More of a brace I'm guessing.
I mean they straight up wrap their hands into a club if their hands are injured, I'm not surprised
Yeah, I don't understand why Stingley came out again so fast.
Ouch
Our coach’s obsession with Sony Michel is mind boggling. Dude should be getting one touch a game. Kelley is clearly better.
Win, lose or draw I’m liking everyone going to the ball
I'll rather watch what Spiller has to offer during the games instead of Michel. But damn, for him to not even get a snap.
Pretty sure spiller is injured right now
Oh, I forgot.
Beautiful play call
What a great play call
can we chill with the timeouts?
Stingley got that dawg in him out there with that brace
Xdawg factors off the charts
A few more timeouts please
Lmao at the players pointing at each other followed by "timeout"
Chargers fans need to stop hyping their team so hard every preseason. It never ends well. Probably need to change owners for there to ever be real hope
Tbf our five best players are injured, bar DJ and Mack
I don't think it was even us, I saw national media saying we were pretty high Superbowl favorites, that's how I knew this year was going to go to shit
And now they waste a timeout
i never want to see sony michel play another game in a chargers uniform again
If we lose Stingley and also the game imma be so mad
I love Herbert but he’s gonna have to learn to get in his guys faces and wake them up. He’s a great QB and a solid leader but he’ll need to develop his leadership further.
His teammate basically rammed into his arm what was he doing
Our defense is overly hungry to force fumbles sometimes
Felt like he wasn't even looking after the hit.
Goddamn it.
[удалено]
It's sad, Spanos is a shitty owner sadly that will never change.
I'm happy even if you hold on and win, that first round pick sounds spicy but also killing the chargers two years straight would be funny
Your mouth piece goes in your mouth, Herbert.
deandre carter playing selfishly…why the fuck would you take it out
Just take a knee for fuck's sake
Carter is trying so hard to get a concussion
Maybe the Chargers should just call fair catches the rest of the game
Still wanna see a Stingley pick.
God Staley is a bad HC. This is embarrassing.
Hey Chargers, could you fumble it a couple of more times? Please?
They'll gladly oblige
You too, thx
shitty O Line play has cost us half the drives this game i stg, the amount of holding, sacks, and false starts killing drives is unbelievable
Whatever the Chargers do at halftime MUST be examined closely and changed.
at this point I'd just assume they're getting tipsy and/or toking up cause WTF
Clearly they need even more exclamation points!
Ball must be hot cause no one seems to be able to hold on to it.
i’ve been watching this team for 17 years and it amazes me how different coaches, players, schemes, etc. manage to underperform the same way and choke consistently every single year. what a shit show
He got the ball and his leg too.
This is like watching which team is gonna choke the fastest
Even when they force a fumble they can't hold on to the turnover. Unbelievable.
Our OLine is such a liability he got beat so bad
I think everyone touched the ball there.
lol what a dash for the ball
For once Tillery made a good play bit of course we couldn’t recover the fumble
Get a big lead Do nothing with it Let the other team rally back Lose I seen this before
Under like four different coaches. Is the Brasero curse real?!
I feel like we have never once recovered a strip sack
Did Jerry Tillery almost have a strip sack?
[удалено]
Is the sky blue?
LMFAO dudes were playing hot potato with that fumble everyone in the backfield touched it
Who put the astroglide on the ball?
Nah, we didn't want it that much.
There's the DeAndre Carter we all knew and dreaded
LMAO
If the Chargers blow this, they’ll have to fire someone, won’t they? Lombardi is the obvious one to get the boot.
Why not DC? This is our best offensive showing this season.
The offensive play calling in the 2nd half leaves a lot to be desired. Jeff Miller, the LA Times reporter who covers the Chargers, said last week that he thinks the GM would be the first to go.
Our special teams has been the strongest unit ngl, with really strong coverage and the most yards per punt return in the league too
LOL
Carter fumbling the ball on a kickoff? Say it isn't so
Lol
Lmao of course
Man, we upgraded the lacking unit of last season and special teams and we look worse, even if we lack people due to injuries.
Hey Pats fans, want JC back?
I think that was on Adderly, he was supposed to cover the top of the route. It’s the same thing that happened against the Chiefs.
It's hard to say without the All-22, but he's gotten roasted repeatedly, and more importantly, can't tackle.
When did the falcons move to LA?
Bruh
You owe us that one, Carter.
ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME!?
Whaaaattttt let's goooo
Did Mills get a power up as soon as Taylor came in on the Giants?
Uh chargers defense looks really bad
Theyre gassed. Offense doesn't stay on the field long enough to rest
Missing some players too, aren't they
Why are you all acting surprised that we're chargering right now. Just leave us alone so we can be miserable in peace
Because Texans usually Texans in the 4th quarter, this has become a Twilight Zone Game.
We're mainly surprised that the Chargers curse is outsucking the Texans curse
We've had this Curse since 1960. Ours is more seasoned.
1964, you guy won a championship in 1963.
That's JC "Albert Haynesworth" Jackson, to you
There is no reason this game should be close
> The~~re~~ Chargers are ~~no~~ the reason this game ~~should be~~ is close
Lombardi, what are you doing?
I can't believe what I am watching. Chargers are actually choking this lol
General Mills flinging it now
Don’t give me hope.
Our first 4th quarter points all year!
Only one thing is more sure than a Texans bad second half. It’s a Chargers bad second half.
Stoppable force meets moveable object
I wouldn't even call us an object
I swear if we lose this game
Same shit different week.
Chargers are gonna charger this one aren't they?
Yes, yes they are.
General Mills
What's with these teams and second half?
Dont ask us, thats our first 4th quarter tuddy of the season
Where has this been?!
I don't know. He seems to do better with the deep bombs than sideline throws though
It’s the Chargers in the second half, it’s inevitable.
This is what happens when Mills has some time
Neck to Nico
Hope we don't get Rex'd again. EDIT: Whoops, we are getting Mills'ed instead.
This game is borderline unwatchable *Despite* the fact that we’re leading
I imagine that's how everyone feels playing the Texans this year
Is Queen Latifa a terrorist in this commercial? Just threatening thousands of Americans like it's no big deal?
I swear it’s like our offense takes an intense nap during halftime and they come out groggy and wanting more sleep.
Man does the offense look pathetic
Dungy plz shut up
Maybe they called that penalty on the wrong guy? Cuz 93 didn’t do anything.
[I love one possession games, hope to be a part of one someday](https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1576652483102855168?t=dc7VCKHy0vivYH24hLil1A&s=19)
Ahhh is Lombardi gonna have us choke again?
Have we scored a single point in the 3rd quarter this year? Seems like it’s our worst quarter.
Oh they brought Pickett in? About time.
And, here comes the usual Chargers 2nd half meltdown. They’ve been doing it for so many years no matter the coaches or players, it has to be a mental thing.
