Despite only 19 total point scored so far, this has been a truly 'wild' game.

Derwin James with an all-pro play.

Unfortunately, Step. 2 not completed by Herbert.

Chargers best hope is a defensive score.

But, an up the middle run, not an out wide run. Big play calling mistake by Roman.

Needed to be a 3rd down middle run call, followed by a 4th down, spread formation, up the middle run call for the 1st down draw call, against a spread D.

-------------------

Incomprehensible 4th down pass attempt to 'Stone Hands' Johnson.

3rd and 3, needs to be a run call by OC Roman.

Up to Herbert to complete Step 2.

Charges D steps up big.

Part 1, done.

Chargers D will need to be terrific in 2nd half, or this game will be over quickly.

Chargers D will need to be terrific in 2nd half, or this game will be over quickly.

Stop, and a score by lac, to open Q3, will put this outcome back on track.

Even though lac -2.5/-110 is the call in this game, this is not based on the decision-making ability of Justin Herbert.

High degree of 'athleticism' ... except, of course, for his stone hands ... is too tantalizing for most NFL player personnel directors to overlook.

If Stroud & Herberrt were to flip teams in this match-up, HOU would win by 21 pts.

Sorry ... should read as:

lac, 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 +3 = 18

HOU, 3 + 3 + 7 = 13

... will still get the job done.

Au contraire.

lac, 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 +3 = 18

HOU, 3 + +3 + 7 = 10

Stout defense + series of made FGAs will eventually get the job done today for lac.

LAC needs to take a 1st down deep shot, right here.

Full Disclosure:

Lac -2.5/-110

Harbaugh made a good decision to kick the short fg, instead of going for it on 4th down.

Successfully made FGAs vital ingredient for winning away playoff games.

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES -1.5/-105

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS -175
