Texans random thought of the day

steelbtexan said:
The OL looked much better tonight. Patterson playing center really helped with the OL calls. Who are you going to get to replace the guys you listed? Odds of drafting a LT as good as Tunsil is slim. They drafted Howard's replacement in Fisher. I'm hoping Scruggs is a better LG than he was a center. Patterson is a fine center, however he's an injury waiting to happen. I agree gotta replace Mason after this year and I would put Kendrick Green in to play RG every 3-4 series to keep Mason well rested and on the top of his game.

I also dont try to equate how much money a guy makes into how well he plays. I just look at things like a guy had a good/bad/mediocre game regardless of the money he makes.

BTW, I wouldn't mind the Texans picking a guy like Wyatt Milum OT/OG West Virginia in the 1st rd and let him learn for a year at LG, then takeover for Tunsil at LT in 2026.

Not in the second half it wasn’t. The Lions started paying extra attention to the protection being called. And after that, CJ was running for his life again and sacked 4 times.

The best thing would be for this team to move to a foreign nation. Preferably Yemen but Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria would work also. An utter clownshow of an organization with a consistent lack of discipline and toughness. They are unbearable to watch for me. I loathe being a fan at this point.

Wtf?
Anyone would think they got blown out and embarrassed on SNF.
Dude, they lost narrowly to one of the best teams in the league and are almost certainly going to the playoffs - not picking in the top two in the next draft.
Sheesh.

They WERE embarrassed. Keep being satisfied with choking incessantly and getting bounced in the playoffs after backing their way in because of a horrific division.

The Lions became the first team since 1970 to win a game despite tossing five interceptions and being down by 15 points.

I think the embarrassed ones were those taking the Lions and giving 3.5 points.

Yeah the way we blew that lead, and couldn’t score in the second half, is embarrassing AF.

Not scoring in the second half is a trend with the Texans - check their games this season.
This to me is a coaching decision to play conservative in the second half protecting leads instead of going for the jugular.
I blame Slowik for this disturbing trend.
 
doom and gloom and doom and gloom.......blah blah blah

The Texans will win the division this year and be in the playoffs even if we throw Davis Mills out there. Which hopefully we don't have to do. Just sayin'. There isn't much left to the schedule that we can't win four more games, which is all we need.

But until the oline is fixed, and that probably won't happen until next year (if ******* ever at this rate), we just can't make it deep into the playoffs.

Cowboys sticking with Rush at QB vs. Texans

The Cowboys are sticking with Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback for the Week 11 game against the visiting Texans.
www.espn.com www.espn.com
In Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Rush completed 13-of-26 passes for 45 yards and lost two fumbles. He also was sacked once. Most importantly, the Cowboys did not score a touchdown in their first game without Dak Prescott.

Rush was replaced by Trey Lance for good in the fourth quarter on Sunday after Lance took two snaps in the third quarter. Lance finished with 21 yards on 4-of-6 passing. He was sacked twice and intercepted once. He also ran three times for 17 yards in his first regular-season action since being acquired by the Cowboys in 2023.

Maybe. I don't think the offensive line is responsible for the Sunday Night loss to the best team in the NFL. Stroud hits a wide open Dell in the end zone in the 3rd quarter and it's 30-13 Texans. The Lions abandon the run and don't make the comeback. The CJ Stroud we know and love wins that game, easily. The o-line seems on its way to becoming functional. If they can keep Howard from trying to strip sack Stroud. Nico will be back. I see a light at the end of what has been a tunnel thus far for the offense.

There was a throw to Robert Woods in the end zone that he couldn't reel in. I'm thinking that if it was Nico Collins, it's a TD.

I don't see a fix to this. As long as people can profit from selling their tickets they'll keep selling them. In fact, I'd bet there are several thousand season tickets that were bought just for the opportunity to make a profit. Some probably not even sports fans.

I was a season ticket holder for 18 years. I did go to every game but there were 2 seats to my left where I never met the owner of those seats. Someone different there every single game (sometimes no one because I guess they weren't sold) and about 50% of the time they were fans of an opposing team.

As long as there is the kind of demand there is for tickets, this doesn't get fixed. Houston, however, isn't nearly as bad as it is for Arizona or LA. Dallas has a ton of opposing team fans. Vegas too. It happens all over because a nice profit can be made.

It also doesn't help that it costs so much for the average fan to attend all the games. At the end it was costing me over $200 per game just for 2 tickets and parking. And my seats were upper tank. So even if you are a diehard fan, if you can make half your season ticket price or more when good traveling fan teams like the Steelers or Packers come to town, even a lot of those people will sell.

100% spot on
I had a pair of seats from the first playoff year until the Covid (BOB) years. I was a 5 hour drive one way from the stadium. For the wife and I to go to a game was a bit expensive. Obviously we didn’t go to every game. When I couldn’t go I posted the tickets for sale on the old Texans board first, then would hit up my tailgate group. Those folks were offered the tickets for face value.
When both those sights had first dibs and no takers then I’d put them up for sale. Most times I’d just eat the money.

Some of the sacks were on Stroud holding the ball, which is natural since the WR's were having issues separating.

I don't know if they're not getting separation. But it doesn't look like Cj is playing with the anticipation & trust he played with last season. Maybe the lack of separation leads to the lack of anticipation.

We'll see when Nico comes back.
