2024 Houston Texans Season Thread

[tx 3 putt 77919]

need to win the next two into the bye week

this team has to keep improving, they should be 9-2

[The Earl of Texas 3179]

Only 1 sack given up on almost 35 drop backs, 5.6 yards per carry for 141 yards total rushing. Yes, Dallas D is not great, but that's improvement at OL.

Blowout W on Monday Night... maybe our first ever? Texans now 90% to win AFC South. All is good. Lots to fix but get to fix while winning and heading to playoffs. Offense leaving too many points on the field, defense still susceptible to big hit plays. Our draft picture is already coming into focus.

Tunsil is a retard.  And that cost me about all sorts of points and a loss in my fantasy game (that I lost by two points) because I have Collins and Stroud.

2 TDs -- 12 points

Receiving yards -- 7.7 points

Passing yards -- 3.8 points

Two 5 point bonuses for plays over 50 yards -- 10 points

1 5 point bonus because Stroud would have had 300 passing yards -- 5 points

1 5 point bonus because Collins would have had 100+ receiving yards -- 5 points

So that dickhead cost me 43 points

I mean there is no way Nico breaks that, if Tunsil wasn’t out on the defender…. So, yeah, if he doesn’t get out there it’s probably an 8-10 yard gain and not TD.

Thats why they called the penalty.

Of course, I’m happy with the two game lead in our division, but I expected this team to be much better coached at this point in the season.  We’re still muy undisciplined making too many mistakes.  At times, we play like no one is driving the bus.

[Fud 9560]

Really hoping that we can see this defense fully healthy (or not suspended). I don't think we've seen WAJ, Autry, Fatusaki, Lassiter, Edwards Jr, etc all on the field together healthy at once. Harris too, although he's missed so much time that I'm not sure if he'll actually be better than what we currently have. 

I think the sell in the playoffs is the elite defense at this point. One that has a bunch of ballhawks. Stingley Jr will give up receptions here or there, but any time you target him it's an INT risk. Lassiter has 3 INTs. Bullock has 4 INTs. 

The offense is a work in progress, but hopefully the re-shuffled OL gets better over the rest of the season. If the defense is playing at an elite level, the threshold for the offense to meet is lower, and it might only need to be a top 10 offense to make noise in the playoffs, especially if Nico and Mixon are both healthy

Autrey being active is a pleasant surprise 

 

[The Earl of Texas 3179]

Line has gone from -7 or -7.5 to -8.5 after Noon injury report release. Big and great news for us. Let's have a comfortable win, please. Smother their ragtag O and get back to work on offense.

[tx 3 putt 77919]

let’s f’n go !!!!!!!

I’d say that’s a pretty good start

[David Dennison 19117]

Well OK then.

[tx 3 putt 77919]

WAJ !!!!!!

[TexArcher 38408]

Ah, fuck's sake.

[The Earl of Texas 3179]

Ah yes, our trademark wide open deep TD with no defenders and no safeties. 

[HtownHorn 14915]

This team is such trash.

The safety bit hard.

[Rip76 4986]

Nice tackle.

[HtownHorn 14915]

[TexArcher 38408]

You've gotta be god damned kidding me.

How the fuck do you push a guy and expect him to fall over in the NFL?  Four of y'all?  God dammit.

[HtownHorn 14915]

Lulz.

[Updawg 2301]

Are they going to choke this and lose to a shit tenn team

Yes

[tx 3 putt 77919]

ass kicking 

[TexArcher 38408]

Welp, this is less fun than I was expecting.

[Macklemore 2881]

Jimmie Ward shouldn’t see the field ever again and Slowik needs to be relieved of play calling at halftime.

[Macklemore 2881]

There we go!!! Nice catch Nico!!

[Jimbaround 978]

Much needed TD for Nico

Much needed TD for Nico

[tx 3 putt 77919]

nico !!!!

[TexArcher 38408]

Oh, what a gift.

Go get that halftime lead.

[Rip76 4986]

Nico’s a game changer.

[Macklemore 2881]

Follow up a great play by Stroud to Nico with another horrible, slow developing running play for a loss of 4 yards. Damn it Bobby, stop killing the momentum with such stupidity.

Lame

[David Dennison 19117]

Nice game, defense.

[TexArcher 38408]

Hey, maybe let's not give up 40+ to a 2-8 team, yeah?

[Jebus 1332]

Will Levis going 11/11 for 177 and a TD with a 149.1 QB rating for the first half is not something I expected from this game

[David Dennison 19117]

Welcome to the ref show.

[TexArcher 38408]

A 12-minute delay for a flag to be picked up?  Cool.  So cool.

[Macklemore 2881]

Horrible INT. Can’t do that there 

[David Dennison 19117]

Good job, CJ. Well done.

[Jebus 1332]

wow that was really fucking bad

This is a sloppy, half-ass football team.

That's on the head coach.

[elfenix 34385]

jesus christ

[TexArcher 38408]

Um, what's the record for sacks in a game?

yeah not sure if I feel like it's just a step back in year 2 or if some of last year's ahead of schedule success was just a mirage.  probably some of both.

at least the defense seems like they are awake now

[tx 3 putt 77919]

defense better show up the second half

We are missing talent on defense. We have not taken a snap all season with the projected starting 11.

However, the real problem is that Slowik is just a bad playcaller and the OL is bottom 3rd of the league, and that has caused a sophomore slump from Stroud.

 

The only reason this team is in the position it is in is due to the shitty division we play in, same with the Astros.
