Shep had sustained some drives, but he also has dropped some easy chunk pass plays. When we didn’t have Mike & Chris, he was part of a response that made for a decent emergency option, but he isn’t the same player he was early on in his career. Sometimes he still flashes it, sometimes a decent option, savvy, flashy, but not reliable.as long as they don't throw the ball to Sterling Shepherd.
100% agree
He was sort of our WR1 in the 49ers game? Maybe one of the other games.
Re Shepherd, I was jokingly alluding to his drops that ruined the opening drives vs the Cowboys and the Saints. I contend the script for the Cowboys game would have been WAY different if Shepherd makes the key catch and the Bucs score an opening TD. The Bucs were able to overcome his gaffe vs the Saints, but it took three quarters to climb out of the hole. Many of us here have noted the importance of the Bucs getting the lead early in games.

absolutely
Agree, leaning on him too much gets us into to trouble. Hes an option, but likely not the primary on any play in the playoff(s).Re Shepherd, I was jokingly alluding to his drops that ruined the opening drives vs the Cowboys and the Saints.

Shepherd has had multiple pre snap penalties as well. Completely unreliable.
Chargers -2.5 vs Texans.
I'll drop a 100 on that one. Texans offense is butt fuck garbage and Chargers defense leads the league in PA.
I know it's a road game but I'm feeling good about it.
Anyone know something I don't? Why is this line so close?

My guess:
Both offenses have multiple starters on IR. HOU is basically down to Nico Collins, and LAC is down to McConkey. Both teams have good defensive fronts, so rushing and passing is going to be tough for both teams. HOU's offensive line has been suspect all season as well.
LAC scores about 24 pts/gm, and HOU has been scoring around 22 pts/gm.

Good stuff. Thanks.
I think (gut) those numbers look much different first and second half of the season.

One other thing I forgot to mention: Herbert's one playoff performance a couple seasons ago was borderline horrific.

Yeah but that was a weird where they got up big and played ultra conservative and blew it

Thing is, Herbert just didn't play very well, particularly in the 2nd half of that game. And if you go back and look at his PT games, or most meaningful games, he has this 'habit' of not playing well in the 2nd halves of those games. It's weird. When he was first drafted I thought he was going to be a real problem for KC, I even posited that he would lead LAC to a AFC-W title in his first 4-5 years. But he just hasn't been that guy.
With the trade during the season, this game will feature Mike Evans vs. Marshon Lattimore.
Typically Marshon gets the best of Mike too
earlier this year, we spanked the Saints 51-27 but Mike had just 2 catches for 34 yards
they stink against the run so hopefully are 3 headed monster can do some damage
the hope is that McMillian and hopefully Otton comes back in this game can capitalize off Mike being neutralized.

Evans left the game due to injury on a TD route than Lattimore blew so he tackled him and caused his nagging injury.
Fuck Lattimore. If he were drowning I'd throw him a rock

I don't think we were watching the same game. He played fine. The issue is his head coach was laughable bad and the Chargers thought they could just coast to a win. The play calling was sooooooo bad.
When you take your foot off the gas you take your QB out of rhythm.
Now the chargers have a real head coach.
