I’m so jealous of both Vikings and Rams OL. We are so far behind them it’s not even funny. Is it coaching or ability or both? So sad..I would agree that even we’re at 5-2, those two losses have shattered our preseason expectations into a million pieces. From watching some other team’s performances, it’s obvious we’re not Super Bowl contenders. Not even close. It’s actually good thing we’re realizing it now.
But whatever Demeco does, or actions he takes, will be inside the house. As a former player, that is how he will handle it. But the way I’m seeing it, the main issue with this team cannot be resolved with a quick fix.
Ravens have allowed 3 more tds than the Texans. I guess they aren’t superbowl contenders either.
Sideline footage often tell the tale. Typically if a guy is no nonsense like Paul Brown was, his demeanor doesn’t change ESPECIALLY during a game!
I’m not CLAIMING he is or isn’t of EITHER demeanor.

Well said Marcus ! You guys had better keep this in mind because we will probably get rouged up again, and maybe several more times this season. And we might lose this Sundays game,I would agree that even we’re at 5-2, those two losses have shattered our preseason expectations into a million pieces.

Nope, they're just dumb.Demeco is a dawg
His oline a bunch of puppies
Apparently you've never worked on the farm with my family.Me and my brother were saying this a few weeks back. It is ok to be buddy buddy with them, but you need to let them know you run the show and they need to respect you. Same reason you don't let family come work for you, they will half ass everything and still expect a pay check...
Nick re-signed him.Brian Gaine brought us Howard
Another reason the offense isn't performing as well as some think it should be is because they're missing the best WR in the NFL. That's worth 7-10 points per game right their.Well said Marcus ! You guys had better keep this in mind because we will probably get rouged up again, and maybe several more times this season. And we might lose this Sundays game,
so get your expectations under control.
Nick F-ed that up.Nick re-signed him.
No, O'Brien got a look at the rookie Howard and immediately went looking for a LT. At whatever the cost might be.Nick F-ed that up.
I was pointing out that BOB didn't pick Howard.
DevlinNo, O'Brien got a look at the rookie Howard and immediately went looking for a LT. At whatever the cost might be.

I don't think it was Howard. I believe OB cringed thinking about either Julien Davenport and/or Matt Kalil at LT that drove him into desperation.No, O'Brien got a look at the rookie Howard and immediately went looking for a LT. At whatever the cost might be.
Yes Sir, Nico is certainly in the conversation about who's currently the best receiver in the NFL.Another reason the offense isn't performing as well as some think it should be is because they're missing the best WR in the NFL. That's worth 7-10 points per game right their.
By who? Detroit may have the kind of defense that can get that kind of consistent pressure on Stroud, but I doubt it without Hutchinson. Maybe Kansas City. But there's not a lot of fierce defenses left on our schedule.You guys had better keep this in mind because we will probably get rouged up again, and maybe several more times this season

OK so just just consider me your "Dutch Uncle" here: I look for losses vs the Lions, vs the Ravens, and of couse vs the Chiefs, and the Jets & Cowboys games look to be very challenging IMO.By who?

The Jets, Ravens, Chiefs and Lions all have solid defenses that can get after the quarterback. The Lions without Hutchison last week still recorded 4 sacks, and forced an Interception. Against the Cowboys, after Big H went down, they recorded 3 sacks and forced 3 interceptions. They stumped the mess out of those Cowturds.By who?

I think they win one of those games.OK so just just consider me your "Dutch Uncle" here: I look for losses vs the Lions, vs the Ravens, and of couse vs the Chiefs, and the Jets & Cowboys games look to be very challenging IMO.
At the beginning of the year I saw 9 or maybe 10 wins for the Texans this year and I still like
that scenario. Oh yea, and lets see how it goes this weekend ?

Hopefully our line and offense will be up and ready for the challenge.
Ok my friend I hope you are right. I want you to be right !I think they win one of those games.
I dunno Thunder I'm kinda afraid for litlle Bobby Slowick when he takes his offense into Arrowhead againt Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo's defense.That's not what I asked. We may lose those games but I doubt they're going to "rough us up"
There are going to be some good games for sure. The Texans are going to lose some against good teams. But I'll be surprised if the OL looks as inept as they did against Greenbay or if Cj passes for less than 90 yards.I dunno Thunder I'm kinda afraid for litlle Bobby Slowick when he takes his offense into Arrowhead againt Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo's defense.
Texans offense are closer to the Ravens than 2/3rds of the league so idk why you made that claim.Why you quoting me with that response? Never said anybody was or wasn’t a SB contender. I was simply responding to the fallacy of the Texans having the #2 defense. They don’t.
And if you want to compare to the Ravens, their offense is #1 in scoring, total yards, rushing yards and red zone. Texans offense not close to any of that. So there’s that.
But with the Jets, you also have to contend with their stadium... which if it decides to claim victims could be bad for the rest of the season.Lions are the only team I see who could potentially wreck us.
Cowboys stink pretty much all around
Ravens Defense isn’t all that this year, keeping up with their offense is what will the problem for us.
Jets almost got beat by will Levi’s and the titans
Chiefs look vulnerable, but you have to respect them b/c they are the defending champs
I could see us 3-1 the same as I could see us 2-2, 1-3 in those games. A lot depends on health.
Sounds like you're an ESPN stats junkie... It also says the 1-5 Tennesee Titans have the #1 defense... do you believe that to be true also?Before you say they’re not the #2 defense. The facts dosn’t care about your opinion.
I'm counting on you be right about all of that - fingers crossed !There are going to be some good games for sure. The Texans are going to lose some against good teams. But I'll be surprised if the OL looks as inept as they did against Greenbay or if Cj passes for less than 90 yards.
Not going to happen.
Texans offense are closer to the Ravens than 2/3rds of the league so idk why you made that claim.
You’re acting as if this defense is overrated. If anything, it’s underrated. A offense that struggles, fumbles in the opponent redzone, repeated 3 & outs. Why don’t you want to give them credit? I would take the #11 offense, #2 defense over the #1 offense, #24 defense any day. Before you say they’re not the #2 defense. The facts dosn’t care about your opinion. Get over it dude
I have never agreed with anyone's post as much as I agree with this one.Maybe not, but until Demeco does something to fix this O-Line and/or assist in pulling Slowicks head out of his butt, then some fans will continue to make those comparisons. These issues have not been addressed 7 games into the season. Watching him smile and clap on the sidelines while our offense looks so inept is infuriating.
Sounds like you're an ESPN stats junkie... It also says the 1-5 Tennesee Titans have the #1 defense... do you believe that to be true also?
So you can ignore facts then turn right around and lecture me about them? Classic.
So the Texans being 14th in points scored is close to the Ravens #1? Hmm, interesting. 11th in total yards vs #1. Scoring on 39.8% of their possessions (15th), to the Ravens 50.7% (2nd). Average points per drive Hou 18th, Bal 2nd. Hou 5.4 yards per play (16th) to the Ravens 7.2 (#1). Expected points contributed by offense BAL (1st), HOU (19th). Ravens tied for fewest sacks allowed, Texans 4th most. 3rd down conversions, Bal 2nd, Hou 13th. Net yards per possession Hou 17th, Bal 1st.
So alright then. I can now clearly see how the Texans offense is so close to the Ravens. That and having the 2nd best defense in all of football, bring on the freaking Swifties.
Facts schmacts.
Just because they are #2 in ypg allowed does not make them the second best defense in the league. Nor is the Titans defense anywhere close to being the best in the leagueYou made my point. Total offense is considered the primary indicator of the best offenses because it directly measures the combined yardage gained by a team through both rushing and passing plays, providing a comprehensive view of how much ground an offense is able to cover on the field, essentially reflecting their overall offensive productivity across different facets of the game.
Stating the Texans offense being closer to the ravens than 2/3rds of the league was spot on. 11th out of 32 teams means the Texans are closer to the #1 offense than 21 teams.
I wouldn't play anybody of significance against the NYJBut with the Jets, you also have to contend with their stadium... which if it decides to claim victims could be bad for the rest of the season.
You want to forfeit?I wouldn't play anybody of significance against the NYJ
The offense really misses Nico.
Nah. We can beat the old man with scrubs.You want to forfeit?
Basically yes, the game last year ruined the rest of the season. Can't afford injuries like that again.You want to forfeit?
MetLife also scares me so I googled around. I found this article and I thought it was interesting. The Texans aren’t very far behind MetLife and the AFC South leads the NFL in injuries.Basically yes, the game last year ruined the rest of the season. Can't afford injuries like that again.

Okay bruh… but…. It was a Josh Allen without any weapons. Not even Shakir. That should account for something derogatory against our defense..The same defense that held mvp front runner at the time, Josh Allen to one of his worst performances.
