[Earl34]

Not a fan of those patterns. Stay with the quick game.

Freaking Mason

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Stroud's MCL was tested.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Get back into FG range..

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

A little home cooking for the Chiefs!

 

[paycheck71]

That's on Stroud he had to let it go

Let it go or get out of the pocket. He had a chance there to move to the right.

 

[whodknee]

6-13

 

[cdollaz]

Didn’t even try to hide that hold. Might as well have just taken his jersey off for him. Pathetic.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Needed 7. Dammit.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Wind fixing to hurt us again?

 

[Bugman7star]

We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot when we start moving the ball.

 

[amazing80]

There you go Fairbairn!

 

[thunderkyss]

With the holding call we are screwed.

Nah, that was an obvious hold

 

[legacy_gt]

You can't keep that ball and then have all these backward yardage plays. Quick passes, solid runs, O line protection, and the offense will come through.

 

[santo]

Alright someone tell the Chiefs they can rest their starters now for the next week’s game.

 

[amazing80]

So we gonna bench Mason or what? Dude is killing us

 

[Carr Bombed]

Jesus Christ.. Fairbairn is making me nervous.. hopefully the other side of the field helps him out.

 

[thunderkyss]

Freaking Mason

Cj ran out of the pocket... Mason was in a bad spot

 

[SAMURAITEXAN]

FG, Imi!

 

[KA4Texan]

Alright someone tell the Chiefs they can rest their starters now for the next week’s game.

Tell the Texans they give the Chiefs a second BYE.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Time to score a TD to start the half. All in all our defense have been really good but the refs playing a role in key situations has hurt us!

 

[Mr teX]

God I hate the chiefs

 

[Carr Bombed]

Needed 7. Dammit.

3 is better than 0.. I'll take it. We need 7 to start the half.. Need to find a way to get Nico open.

 

[DBCooper]

Jesus Christ.. Fairbairn is making me nervous.. hopefully the other side of the field helps him out.

Notice chiefs picked the field kicking with the wind so they’d have it in the 4th

 

[Texansballer74]

This is what kills Meco and his loyalty. The offensive line has played remarkably better without Mason. So why in heck is he out there playing. I’ve counted at least 4 times in which he was blocking Casper the friendly ghost.

 

[Bugman7star]

No TDs is the first half is frustrating. Offense needs to come out with a statement drive in the 2nd half.

 

[legacy_gt]

That cheap ass call on Anderson is the only reason the Chiefs scored.

 

[Porky]

First part of the plan worked - get 3.

Now for the second part…get a TD out of the halftime break

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Nah, that was an obvious hold

I don't think he was questioning the call just stating that it was costly. I may be wrong though.

 

[TejasTom]

The 3rd has not been our best quarter this year

 

[Bugman7star]

I don't think he was questioning the call just stating that it was costly. I may be wrong though.

That's correct. All good though. This is a game in general where we cannot afford silly penalties that kill momentum.

 

[ATXtexanfan]

That missed fg biggest play so far

 

[Hoegarden]

Nah, that was an obvious hold

I think he meant in terms of field goal position

 

[thunderkyss]

That cheap ass call on Anderson is the only reason the Chiefs scored.

I need to see Daneil Hunter be Daneil Hunter

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

That cheap ass call on Anderson is the only reason the Chiefs scored.

As I said the refs haven't called a lot of penalties against us but the ones they called were crucial and momentum changers!

 

[whodknee]

Kelce has been wide open almost every play. Come on man…..

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Wind speed during Fairburn's FG attempts were only 10 mph.............expected to ramp up to ~20-25 later.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

I need to see Daneil Hunter be Daneil Hunter

It's Danielle Hunter but I don't think I'll tease him about that

 

[disaacks3]

The big thing (at least to me) is that the Texans appear to have “come to play” from the first snap on both sides of the ball.

It definitely ain’t over yet. Scoring a TD on the opening 2nd half drive would go a long way towards securing an upset here.

 

[amazing80]

As I said the refs haven't called a lot of penalties against us but the ones they called were crucial and momentum changers!

That's how it always seems to go against KC, that's why so many fans hate them. They get crucial questionable calls at key moments. Don't for a second think that will be the last one today.

#InStroudWeTrust

13-13

 

[legacy_gt]

As I said the refs haven't called a lot of penalties against us but the ones they called were crucial and momentum changers!

It only takes one big missed call to change the outcome.

 

[Hoegarden]

The offense needs to do their part now in the second half and special teams needs to show up.

 

[thunderkyss]

It's our time.

 

[amazing80]

Need a TD and would love a turnover!

 

[cdollaz]

Why did we cut Noah Brown before the season? I don’t remember if an explanation was given.

 

[Bugman7star]

Wind speed during Fairburn's FG attempts were only 10 mph.............expected to ramp up to ~20-25 later.

Which means we need TDs.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

The Texans have had 3 costly penalties for 38 yards.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

Kelce has been wide open almost every play. Come on man…..

Thanks to us putting a lot of pressure on Mahomes he hasn't been as much of a factor as he could have been. The problem is that any play where the Chiefs have a fair amount of time they have more weapons than we do. I would have loved to have seen how we would have matched up against the Chiefs if both Diggs and Dell were fully healthy! I think it would favor us!

 

[Hoegarden]

Super bowl level defense but AFC south level offense is how I would describe the 1st half for the Texans.

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Texans are in striking distance. 13-6 with the ball to start the half.

Can’t give the Chiefs a short field. And gotta take the ball away. But it’s within reach.

They ran the ball pretty well, need to stay with it and keep the ball away from Mahomes.
