Texans 2024

Doubly damning.

Disagree. They are very much a contender, if the OC didn’t insist on running the same stupid plays, over and over again, or when needing a play taking his playmakers out of the game. They are not a juggernaut offensively, but they have talent and ability. Slowik just insists on not using his best talent.

Yeah, I just don’t see it. He’s a hell of a pass blocking LT.

Let’s ignore the pre-snap penalties, ok?

If the Texans didn’t blow 2H leads against the Packers, Jets, Titans and Lions, they’re hosting this round. They blew those games because their offensive coordinator is a fucking moron.

I like to argue with Hudson as much as anyone, but there is no argument to be had here.

Except that every one of those pre-snap penalties is like half a sack.

The Commanders don’t seem to understand that you can’t win a divisional round game on the road.

If a Texan had hit Mahomes like that guy just hit Goff they’d have thrown him out of the game and banned him from the league.

Second half against the Packers, Jets, and Lions…all games they led at halftime, they scored in the 2H a total of 3 points, 0 points, and 6 points. All games they lost by one score, two on last second field goals. To argue that the offense late in games wasn’t the problem is just bizarre.

Oh, I know, I remember. They had to work to lose the games against those two good teams. And to lose to the Jets is as horrific as their loss to the Panthers last year. You just do not lose to teams like that, not if you want to be taken seriously.

I’ve never seen those factored in to ā€œpressuresā€ or ā€œhitsā€ or ā€œsacksā€ allowed…

Show me the numbers, Copernicus :wink:

I’m just spitballing here, but a five yard penalty vs sacks usually being 6-8 yards, but at least you keep the down.

Soā€¦ā€œhalf a sackā€ but keep the down. Got it.

And yes, it’s fucking frustrating as hell. All I was saying is that once the ball is snapped, he is a fucking wall as a LT. He’s just about the one thing that has kept Stroud from turning into David Carr, mentally.

That first drive of the 2nd half was really impressive.

I follow the Texans mostly thru this thread. The frustration is understandable but being one of the last 4 standing in this year’s AFC playoffs is pretty darn good.

So according to Joe Mixon, he was fined $25,000 for something T.J. Houshmandzadeh tweeted, the NFL mistakenly thinking it was Mixon. When Mixon publicly complained about it stating that it wasn’t him who tweeted, he was fined an additional $25,000. That’s all according to Mixon, anyway. The NFL doesn’t like explaining itself.

Looks like they kept the fine at the max amount despite the fact his actual quote was about as diplomatic as it could be.

The NFL is a very successful shitty organization.

Imagine a Major League baseball player saying about getting called out on strikes: ā€œyou can’t leave it in umpire’s hands there, you have to swing if it’s closeā€ and MLB getting their panties wadded up about it.

The NFL doth protest too much, methinks.
