Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
Stroud will be the first to admit he's fallen off since that rookie season, but he can still carve up defenses given time. It's absolutely unforgivable how bad his protection continues to be, especially in a city that should have learned the hard way how not to ruin a QB forever after the David Carr saga.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
They didn't need to punch it in to win. They needed to run 3 more plays and then send out an automatic kicker for a chip shot to take the lead with barely 20 seconds left after the Bucs used up 2 timeouts. Another way to look at it: once the Texans were in comfortable Kaimi range, the best thing that could have happened for the Bucs (short of a fumble) was a quick Houston score so Baker had maximum time with the ball. And that's exactly what they got. Given our complete inability to run all game, I wouldn't be surprised if their secondary let Chubb score once he burst through the first level.

Too bad the odds of a beat reporter getting a straight answer from the Texans braintrust on the bad clock management are somewhere between zilch and nada.

There is zero question that was stupid clock management. How's this even in doubt? Despite the Houston defense playing their tails off, Chubb needs to down inside the 5 instead of scoring the TD. Force the Bucs to use two timeouts and burn the 2 minute warning. Then, if you can't punch it in, you let Imi, who is damn near automatic, hit the chip shot for the lead. Yes there's a 1% chance he misses the chip shot, but you have your timeouts. Baker gets the ball with one timeout and 20 seconds left.

Yeah I think Bud's definitely the more technically gifted boxer for me. -370 to go the distance, so we know what the oddsmakers think on KO possibility.

Is Bud strong enough to hurt Canelo? If that's not a fear for Canelo then it might become an issue quickly

I think Bud leads on points after the first few rounds. Then the size disparity starts to matter.

I know it's par for the course, but it's hilarious how many non Americans are cast these in roles having relatively specific American inflections;. Buffalo's entire task force is non American actors, as is the 21 year old niece.

Listless is the word I'd use for the first 85 min. That long season with the CWC might impact things for a couple of weeks.

Internet does indeed say Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville. Hopefully there will be more Reddit posts confirming it in the next couple of weeks.
