Nah, they played the 9ers a week before. Same scheme, slowik didn’t adjust. In fact the 9ers did better with less weapons

Texans rushed for just 38 yards on 14 carries without Joe Mixon.C.J. Stroud was intercepted twice and sacked four times.

The Texans were flagged 11 times for 83 yards today, and have 18 penalties this season for 233 yards.

I disagree humbly…. The Texans have a way better roster than the vikings.

This is unacceptable. Can't win games with these numbers
I believe the Texans started the day with 18 penalties. 13 last week and 5 against Indy.
Fixed as in tape or superglue? Or fixed as in benching someone on the oline. Very disappointed in Demeco today. He had a chance to make a statement today and should have benched LT, but he blew it.

But it's not just one bad game.. it's been the same multiple mistakes for 3 weeks running now. We just got away with it, because of the competition we faced. The Vikings today made all of the big plays that the Colts and Bears whiffed on.
Benched him for who? If he benched Tunsil, I would hope he would pull CJ also so that he doesn't get murderized.
By whoever is his backup for the game. Even one series taking him out would have sent a message.
Agreed, this is the first time I have been disappointed with him as a Texans coach.

I'd don't think he opened the playback, more like Mills was just getting rid of the ball downfield.
I'd start, but it would be false.

Tunsil is an excellent pass blocker who gets an extraordinary amount of penalties.

SCRUGGS played ok actually. The right side of the line and Tunsil tho…garbage.
I’m ready to move on from Howard..he’s trash.

On paper yes, but the proof is in the pudding. Let's see how this season goes. As of now we haven't proven anything other than we have a lot of work to do to prove we are as good or better than we have performed up to this point. What good does it do if you are supposed to be more talented than the teams you play each week only to look as though that is not the case? As of now it appears the Vikings are better at this time than expected. They have appeared to be better than us not only based on today's game but all three games they have won. There have been some changes to our team and in my way of thinking you will be right about us and the Vikings when it comes to talent but hype and what we are supposed to be only counts if we live up to expectations. Lets see if the cream rises to the top.

Some people let their emotions get the best of them. If we are a bad team we will soon find out. To me this was a hiccup but we will be just fine. Slowick getting a new contract is neither here nor there. There is a LOT of football left to play. No need to get carried away.

Need more accountability from Tunsil. This isn’t a new issue (false starts). He may have a point with the illegal formation calls but they did the same to the Ravens week 1.

That for sure has to change. Tunsil has been around long enough to correct that crap. Let's hope him and the team as a whole gets their act together and cuts down on foolish mental mistakes.

**** Tunsil.
"the refs tried to make an example of us"
Bro you're good for at LEAST one penalty a game. For as long as we've known you.

He was talking about the illegal formation penalties. Those didn't make sense. I'm watching Cowboys Ravens... I've watched football for a long time, I didn't see anything egregious about the way Tunsil lines up & the False Start on the Center... looked like a setup.
Like the Vikings went to the refs ahead of the game & said watch for this, this, & that.

Tunsil deflecting blame with both of these issues tells me everything i need to know about him.
The false starts are on you buddy. Youre going to soon. Theres no way everyone else is just moving too slow and "not on the same communication"... This has been a problem for years.
And then on the illegal formation... I can see the first one... But after that, just go to the ref and ask him exactly where you need to be.

For as bad as Houston played today, I think Dallas might be playing worse. Derrick Henry is rolling back the clock on them.
Sadly, he takes no accountability and is not a leader. When CJ threw that 2nd pick, he immediately pointed at himself and said that was his fault. I have never ever seen LT do that. That Dolphins trade keeps biting us in the ass. Thank you BOB
Hopefully this game is a wakeup call for the Texans. They haven't played great at all through 3 games. This should get all of the media hype out of their heads about Lombardi trophies and gets them focused on cleaning up the penalties and playing sound, fundamental football. Should serve as a wakeup call for the coaching staff, also. The Texans were outplayed and outcoached on both sides of the ball. I'm actually glad it was a blowout and not a close game. I'm also glad it was a nonconference game.

That is the best comment all day. Kudos!
That definitely softens the blow. I can't help but smile every time the Cow Pies lose. I wonder how Jerrah feels when he thinks of the contract he signed Prescott to. Prescott is just like Cousins. They keep teams in QB hell. Good to great in the regular season, doesn't do squat in the postseason.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. Tunsil should be the leader on that line, and a true team leader. Instead he deflects, blames teammates, blames refs. He’s softer than custard, and is one of the most undisciplined offensive lineman in the NFL. It’s total bullshit and it’s high time this team address it. Next off-season he should be traded for whatever you can get for him, draft a LT high, and sign a mid level FA. Howard is also on shaky ground between injury and meh performances. Fisher can be a possible answer there.
I’m good with the interior guys in the near term…but drafting a guard that might be a Mason replacement down the road makes some sense.
