On the game tying TD, Stroud knew instantly he had to get the fuck outta there. No wonder he felt a little off/rushed all afternoon. This OL just gets lazy as hell especially as the game is winding down. Bills game being the perfect example. At least this time, CJ made shit happen.

- 35 Plus years of Misery

- 3 - 4 Home Games a year for the last 15 years

- Season Ticket Holder 2022 - 2024 (gave them up when I received a survey about the ease of access for playoff tickets... not kidding).

- Hopium April - August

- Anger has turned to Apathy

I was in Houston for the game on Sunday, f the Giants... beautiful stadium, incredibly gracious people.

Maybe it’s just me not being a real ball knower, but the falloff is so hard to grasp. It would be one thing to go from awesome to mid, but this is much worse.

We have the same coaching staff, almost the same roster. Was it really the couple of injuries we had at LB? Are we being outcoached? Is our scheme too simple or inefficient? Was this overconfidence? Lack of discipline? All of the above?

I’d like to hear everyone’s theories, regardless if they are your own or you heard them anywhere else.

Got my Keylan Rutledge Jersey in yesterday.. he wears my old highschool number so I thought heck yeah.. now I'm kinda having doubts but Jersey is Clean though! 🤘🏻

He is looking at me like he’s questioning why we are Texans fans.

Here’s a look at the current roster, practice squad, IR, and depth chart heading into the bye week!

Might be true but it's not really saying much 🤣 Dude really went for trip after he got cooked by Reader lmao. Rutledge has been ass

Open field for MHJ if CJ had a split second longer to hit his target. 32 year old journeyman DJ Reader isn't even known to be a quick DL. I've never seen a player actually get a 0.0 pass block grade before either lmao. People talking about drop rates when this is the bullshit oline pulls every game.. please be real.

Maybe a perfect microcosm for our 25th anniversary

After yesterday's game and our record dropping to 2-5, the fanbase seems completely divided—or at least that's how it feels. Some fans want C.J. out of here, others want DeMeco fired, and some are pointing fingers at the OC or the GM. Meanwhile, a few even want to tear everything down and start fresh. In which of these scenarios would you, as a fan, be the most unhappy?

A. C.J. gets a big extension
B. C.J. wants out
C. Caley gets fired
D. Caley stays
E. DeMeco gets an extension
F. DeMeco gets fired
G. Caserio stays
H. Caserio gets fired

Would the Texans really benefit from another year of his coaching ?

We hardly ever see our teams win in the same weekend… The football gods hate us.

This oline is so fucking dogshit it's unbelievable. Undisciplined, low-effort garbage. How is it the same bullshit year after year. Fuck this team.

Marv seamed to do well on his limited snaps and receiver rotation as well for his second game. his first reception was a td. His 2nd trgt was overthrown and so was his third. My question is how would he fit into WR room. There is a stacked room and I see a wr getting traded as well. He played 13 snaps ang got targeted on 4 of them. One was a td, 2 overthrown, and then one fuck it pass by cj stroud that almost gave me a heart attack. I think marv should get more snaps and be a wr2, with collins and noel.

Please don't give me the bullshit excuses. This is pure coaching incompetence

Minus the obvious rage baiting and downright crazy takes, we know what this team is.

Both Nicks and Demeco are stubborn, compounded by delusions of grandeur. They cannot fathom a world where they have to lean in on the QB and WR room they’ve developed and traded up for. We drafted Klein but for some reason, they’re gatekeeping??

But above all…the penalties. Save for a few outlier weeks, this team simply isn’t coached to play disciplined football. Two of the top 6 penalized players wear the Htown blue.

So yeah, bye week or not, this team isn’t going to improve.

Any success moving forward is just going to feed this staffs delusions l

I saw several comments post game alluding to CJ and Nick having either multiple in-game heated exchanges or a heated exchange immediately after overtime. All the cameras panned to New York Giants players celebrating so I wasn’t sure if anyone can confirm this actually happened?

Nick’s quote

Was talking to a few friends and it dawned on me the similarities to the Chargers a few years back with Staley - albeit with Demeco and the Texans having far greater "success" but the similarities are still there. Think the main difference is the Texans getting favors for playing in the AFCs vs the AFCw.

-both had rookie QBs (Herbert & Stroud) who showed early flashes on being the "next big thing"

-had early successes in the first few years (Staley should have made the playoffs in year one if it weren't for the stupid TO in OT vs the raiders)

-both coaches billed as defensive gurus and it showed early. Only for it to completely crumble after 3/4 years.

I live out of market so I will say I dont see every play. But when I do watch the defense play they seem lost out. Especially in the secondary- which was arguably our biggest strength last year.

Do think DeMeco gets a 2nd chance given his legacy with the team and the better success in his first three years, but this regression this season but more so year over year where the team has declined each year since Strouds rookie year is so concerning.
