Will anyone do a play-by-play analysis of the New England game?

You might want to proof read that even though your meaning is clear

Orifice? I thought they got rid of the No-Spin...

Please move if this is not in the right place.

Found this article and it is actually very accurate from what game 1 showed.

3 ups and 2 downs in the Houston Texans pre-season opener

Game one of the Houston Texans' preseason is in the books. How'd they do? Well, let's breakdown the ups and downs of their performance.

Don't know if this has been posted...not an analysis but here are his snaps.

Every snap by Houston Texans QB CJ Stroud in week 1 of the preseason!

Hannah hopes you're right.

Despite what some have said Stroud did make a bad read. Shocking that would happen in a rookie QB first game. The excuses being made are so predictable. He will get better, how much better and more importantly because I think Caserio and Ryans have put together a playoff caliber team this year, is how quickly can Stroud get up to speed on the NFL game? BTW, this won't be the last time Stroud makes bad reads, hopefully he can limit the number of bad reads.

I admit to being too emotionally invested in CJ's success or lack thereof. Maybe that's part of what being a fan is about.

Until you become jaded and BAH HUMBUG!! becomes a habit and a battle cry.

In the time he played, with the NOT starting OL, he did ok. But, I think he will be fine with more time and the real OL.

As long as you can criticize when it's warranted, there is nothing wrong with that. Whether it's a college recruit or NFL draft pick. When a player signs with your favorite team, you root for them, you hope for the best, they are now on your favorite team and if they perform well, your team wins. That's part of being a fan.

You have to balance the emotional investment and optimism with valid and realistic criticism and expectations.

I always remember my BIL shaking his head when Warren Moon threw an Int, especially in critical situations.

I told you so was what he meant to say (as I was trying to be positive and rooting for the team).

When I was younger, I was among the people who hardly seat down at the game.
I did try to be polite so that people behind me can watch the plays.
But in between, no siree, I ain't sitting down.

Brother in law?

I remember when I was in my teens and twenties attending Ohio State games at night. My friends and I would get all liquored up before the game and then scream as loud as we could when the other team's offense was trying to operate. We once had an elderly fan in front of us ask us to tone it down. LOL. Not a chance! She was probably one of those "fans" that went with her husband and only cared about seeing the band play at halftime.

 

[76Texan]

Who is BIL?

Yes, my brother in law.

We also had fun when he always criticise Kareem Jackson as a rookie.

He was good to recognize his growth though, so we're always cool.

We had different opinions at times, but we're always cool.

If it were my decision, Keenum would be the starter for now with CJ being #2 or maybe even #3 getting his snaps against the other teams backups and dudes fighting for the tail end of the roster just to build some confidence.

I don't see Stroud lacking in confidence. I see a rookie QB that needs more reps to get a feel for the speed of an NFL game. Just like the other rookie QBs that played this weekend. It's the process that's been going on for decades.

Nah he needs to be playing with the 3s and fringe NFL players to build confidence.

Nothing builds confidence like being heavily demoted and getting your practice snaps cut.

(obviously I'm being tongue in cheek here)
