Week 10: Texans vs Bengals. Can we pull off the Upset?

[beerlover]

My nerves are shot

Have you tried Tequila?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

That was such a good game as a football fan.

From a Texans fan we have a lot of work still. Get teams off the field on 3rd down. Close out defensive possessions and everything. Be sharp.

Imagine how good we can be if we iron out the wrinkles!

 

[Thorn]

Well, I haven't been sleeping well lately so as long as my logic is sound Ill be alright.

The nice thing about being retired is you don't have to worry about when you sleep. 'Cause I got the same ass problem. lol

 

[Lucky]

If that man didn't have a vice for massages and hadn't demanded a path out..... we would not have CJ Stroud at QB.

Don't forget about us.

I’d like to say…..Stroud and the receivers have finally made DC’s respect the passing game. Because of this turnaround, the running game was due to break out and breakout it did today.

I really like what Singletary did today and in all honesty, I look forward to Pierce getting back into the lineup healthy. The Texans passing game now demands defenses to protect the pass versus stacking the box and daring the pass. This is why I became so angry when the Texans moved away from the passing game, and took Stroud out of his rhythm. Thank goodness Stroud got his mojo back in the last minute.

The Texans currently hold the last wild card spot in the AFC. We better start seeing Ryans in the Coach of the Year conversation.

The Bengals are giving up 5 YPC on the season, good for 31st in the league.

It is contagious! I didn't sleep until 4:00 a.m. headed down for a nap now if I can just shut down this silly message board.

 

[Stroud7]

Cj Stroud is HIM.

 

[badboy]

This is the same offensive line as last week, did they play that much better today or was it the running back? I did see some lanes that were open that I haven't seen before but overall seems like they were blocking about the same against a much better defensive 7 than the Panthers. It will be interesting to see the PFF rankings for this game. Anybody have any comments on Stingley? He was in the game much sooner than I expected.

Another team allows Browns to win.

Him who? What does that mean?

They played that much better in run pro for show.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

He is the real deal and a championship caliber QB is what I would guess that comment relates to.

I don't know that he is HIM but he is one of THEM when it comes to one of the biggest difference makers at QB!

Have you tried Tequila?

Don Julio 1942 works very well

 

[Thorn]

I think the thread question has been answered. LOL

 

[TheMatrix31]

It's some current stupid annoying internet bullshit that needs to die off quick.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

I know lots of bengals fans feel like they let one slip away.

But…the Texans were really the better team today.

I’d say the same thing even had the Bengals managed to win.

This really should’ve been a comfortable win for the good guys.

 

[KA4Texan]

It's some current stupid annoying internet bullshit that needs to die off quick.

So... you want HIM to die?

That's just rude.

 

[badboy]

Any thoughts as to why?

DocBar posted at 1109 that the Bengals are 31st in giving up YPC.

Stroud's completion percentage is the worst for all the qbs listed. This is one area that needs work.

 

[Texansballer74]

They put on their big boy pants on and went to work. Plus DS vision was on point.

 

[Earl34]

That will come. Like that 3rd down and short play where he took a shot into Cover 2. He is not always taking the cheap check downs. I have no doubt it will improve with more experience.

 

[Toro Bravo]

Shows how good QB play elevates the whole team - but kudos to our Oline too!

A rising tide lifts all boats. It's clear that CJ makes his teammates and coaches better.
CJ also makes me believe that we are never out of a game as long as there is time on the clock.

 

[Decim8]

Sorry it’s a term we youngins use for stud/beast etc

It was mentioned by the booth during the game that the Texans lead the NFL in plays over 25 yards. That was early in the game, and they had quite a few after that

The Texans played a much weaker defensive front this week than last week.

 

[Texazan]

Absolutely crazy to think that with a few plays going our way this team could easily be 7-2

 

[DocBar]

Can Stroud win OROY and MVP in the same season?

 

[Brisco_County]

Every fan base of teams Stroud beats this year is going to think their teams let one slip away or their team played so horribly that they made a rookie look like an MVP. That's how they'll think until they finally realize Stroud is actually that good.

 

[TexansBull]

It's some current stupid annoying internet bullshit that needs to die off quick.

The most accurate answer I bet.

 

[Hervoyel]

Well..... Wow!

I am doing all kinds of work around the house this week getting ready for family coming in next weekend to stay over the holidays and I just didn't watch the game. Recorded it of course but didn't watch it. Got a text from my brother (That I also missed at the time but just saw) saying "Bengals can KISS IT!" and I'll be damned. The Texans won. That's a kinda magic starting to happen right there. Excellent!

 

[thunderkyss]

I saw two teams that were competitive. I didn't see the Texans as clearly the better team.

Jamar Chase... he played, but wasn't healthy. THiggins... didn't play. Completely healthy they're a lot better team than what we saw today. Completely healthy we think we're marginally better.

But this is football. Injuries are part of football. This is a good win. Hopefully we'll find a way to kick their butts in the January.

Yeah, I said it. January.

I don't think anyone doubts Cj is good. None of us knows how good he really is.

But Cincy fans think their guy is good as well. That's why they'll think they let one slip away.

Looking at those stats CJ appears to be just second only to Purdy on yards per completion. I’m sure this is part of the “ problem”.

Ye of little faith. Where are your priorities man. Texans are a MUST WATCH!

Finishing the remodel of my wife's kitchen before Thanksgiving is a do or die mission. Priorities are priorities but you gotta remember who you're working for if you want to stay on the payroll.

 

[Dejaview]

Cj Stroud is HIM.

Well I guess he could be.

 

[Texazan]

Yea it sounds better then “I’m the ****” or “the bomb”. It took me a while but I’m good with “a hot minute” now also

 

[Texazan]

Did our own remodel of the kitchen in 2019. That was without a doubt the most difficult time. Washing dishes in the bathtub lol

 

[Carr Bombed]

Cj is going back to Ohio today. I just have this feeling he is going to be the one to break the Texans from its perennial loser status. Oh, and here is the best Texans hype video I have seen in years. A sign the fans are returning.

BUMP

Playoffs baby.. I don't care what the path is, I'm confident our QB will figure that out.

 

[Number19]

Looking at those stats CJ appears to be just second only to Purdy on yards per completion. I’m sure this is part of the “ problem”.

Purdy's completion percentage is 68.8. Stroud's is 61.6.

But you bring up a point I wondered if anyone would. When you throw the long ball, usually your completions will go down. I prefer the long game over the dink and dunk. But I would like to see CJ's completions around 66%.

yeah so would I. I also prefer the long game.

Another factor to the difference in their completion percentage is the involvement of the RBs in the short passing/completion game. For example. McCaffrey has 32 catches. While Pierce (9) and Singletary (9) have 18 combined catches.

I don't know why what I said is funny. From my perspective my comment is pretty accurate! If I was off than I too don't get your HIM comment. Do you care to explain?
