Colts @ Texans AAR

Right. And that’s why I said what I said.

If they have Green in there than it’s a high possibility.
Last year, they brought in the backups through necessity and were able to improve.

Kendrick Green looked ok at LG, I get if they had Patterson prepared as backup LG on game day they may have been forced to put Kenyon back in in that situation, but you’d think Kendrick has been on the team long enough to be able to play there on Thursday.

Better to be 6-2 with the things to fix than a lesser record and playing well some weeks and rubbish others.

CJ looked to have some spark back when Kenyon Green left for a series. We have one game on TNF before, hopefully, Nico returns.

Looks like we just lost Diggs, but I do find myself wondering, this season since Slowick has had Diggs to play with, running these little technical routes, Stroud doesn’t seem to have the outlet under pressure, last season if you saw pressure coming Stroud would dump it off and the play would go far, you’d then see on replay that he’s thrown it to a spot that Tank/whoever hasn’t yet broken to and separation would be created with the ball in the air. That anticipation has been missing and I wonder if it’s Slowick getting away from what worked with his play design having more toys to play with?

On D we signed Ryan’s to coach a good D, and despite playing 2 special teamers and a guy signed off the street on Wednesday, Ryan’s had his linebackers playing pretty well.

Similar story with that DT rotation, they all seem to come up with big plays through the game. WAj continues to dominate, stats going the same way as JJ Watt’s did in year 2 of his career.

A different test next week in New York, let’s see how they hold up.
 
When the fumble return for the apparent TD happened, the stadium just went flat and died. We just sat there with dumb looks on our faces.
When the officials announced the Colt's player was down by contact we exploded in celebration. First time I ever cheered losing a turnover.
 

I''ve never seen this kid beyond the head shot they show on gamedays....... looking at his upper body build, he doesn't look like he can bench 200 lbs, let alone move a grown man against his will consistently. This is 3 years into an NFL training program mind you. he's done imo. Jake Mathews is the only offensive linemen to come out of A&M & be successful in recent years. Green is trending towards bust territory to join his other former 1st round bust aggies on the o-line in Joekel, Ogbuehi, & Ifedi.
 
The worst thing is, no way in hell does Slowick get a HC job now unless his offense turns a full 180, so He'll be here next season as well. I'm pretty sure even the worst David Carr offenses had more than 2 second half TDs 8 weeks in.

For the sake of the team I hope he turns it around, but he's looking like a man with few answers for the problems his offense is facing.
Fix the OL and you'll have a different opinion of Slowik.

I'm really beginning to think a trade for Bitonio might just fix what's wrong with the OL.

Yeah the ugly wins are frustrating, but a win is a win. I mean the Chiefs are undefeated and a majority of their wins are one score games. They haven't blown anyone out. What's frustrating to me is that we have so many self inflicted issues. Fix the O line and play calling on offense and we are in a much better spot.
Fix the OL and the playcalling will look much better. Look at how much better the OL looked on the one drive when Patterson was in the game.
 
I could see us losing this game again for the following reasons:

-they are pretty much in desperation mode.
-They have personnel that can take advantage of our biggest weaknesses right now..both along the o-line with Quinnen Williams and Reddick coming back.... & with our WR core being decimated with injuries vs. their secondary.
-They also have a competent QB. he's not what he once was, but he won't miss easy throws like Allen, Lawrence and Richardson did against us.
-They're at home.


I could also see us winning it this time around for the following reasons.

- Their o-line is just as bad as ours if not worse..WAJ/Hunter should get some really good runs at A-aron.
-Their qb can't really move & will be a sitting duck back there; CNND said he thinks he's also injured too.
- Coaching staff is just better.

The x-factor in all this is that its a thursday night game, both teams will be on a short week so anything goes.
 
Eric Murray played his arse off
Dare in on every 3rd down play is a dead giveaway for the D
Played way too much 1 high safety today when all the colts can do is chuck it deep!
Will A is a bad ass
Run D was lacking a bit today
Good job on the lack of penalties today
Hope diggs is ok
If Diggs isn't OK, then Caserio needs to trade for Dionte Johnson. I also like Hyatt as a field stretcher.

Any new info on Diggs? I'm hoping he didn't tear anything!
Nope, but if Diggs is done for the year and he most likely is done for the year, then trading for a guy like Dionte Johnson or Jaylen Hyatt needs to be done and I think Caserio will make a deal or two before the trade deadline.
 
If my starting QB ever removed himself from the game on a drive to end a half (hell any drive), because "He's tired", he isn't my starting QB anymore
Exactly…. CJ got lit up, stayed on the ground for a bit and got his arse back up made a play! This clown runs for 10+ yds and taps out???? Pretty sure his oline checked out on him after that crap!

Off topic, but geez…the Chiefs are literally buying another trophy. Nick needs to out the petal to the metal because we too need some upgrading and fast!
 
When Patterson went in, I made it a point to watch the oline and specifically him. Much better.

I did the same exact thing.

I just finished the all-22 from yesterday and I watched the Patterson drive several times. Man he looked terrible. He was able to engage a little better than Green once or twice but Tunsil was helping him… a lot. I mean… the man basically concussed himself with piss poor balance. He is -bad- right now. We need to keep looking.

Watch the all-22. He looked -horrible-
Interesting.
