    Yeah, we already know the Texans can't run the ball.

    before the game DeMeco was praising Sean Payton's ability on offense to target and test his opponent's weaknesses.

    What do we do,? Run it right up the middle where we are weakest and they are strongest.

    This is my fear.
    Oline is being blamed for others poor play, no real definitive culprit and no one to figure it out.

    Excellent word.

    However in this context I'd prefer a cornucopia

    Is his lack of peripheral vision impacting his coaching?

    As of last week, the Texans had something like 34 3rd/4th downs with less than 2 yards to go and had converted fewer than half of them.

    After reassessing.

    I do think Caley has been doing better as of late. Early season was getting Stroud off his big play infatuation. He looked to have moved off of that against 49’ers and the Denver game.

    The issue now is some form of the Texans disconnect with its own personnel. They want to play smash mouth but don’t have the players to do it. They need to trade for proven IOL who can move defensive lineman off the ball and improve skill position guys.

    **** what yall talking about, Stroud wins that game

    The defense did its job. Mills had like 4 opportunities to get us in field goal range and did nothing

    Stroud would have won that game.

    I tend to agree with this, a death by a thousand cuts takes awhile to get used to, Stroud had been doing well up to the point he got hurt, long drives and eat the clock, if we just would have turned 1 or 2 of the FG`s into TD`s........................coulda, woulda, shoulda

    Mills is the same QB as he was as a rookie, I would rather have packages for Mertz

    with the absence of Pat, they purposely didn't bring their typical extra pressure 35%. Which is why I had them stealing the game. 2 Chances to steal it
    and the next 4 games the pass pro will feel comfortable due to the defenses we face being vulnerable at this point in time injuries/ familiarity in division.

    People really want to pretend that the line is better for their own beliefs.

    Keenum was pretty awful too. I’d rather take a flier on Zach Wilson than Davis Mills.

    It won't look like it did for Mills this past week with prepping as the starter against Jags and maybe Titans. Marks has to start though and be targeted, don't want Lloyd surveilling Mills' eyes.
    Winnable both.

    100% Stroud wins that game, and I would even go so far as to say Mills was pathetic given that he's a 5 year vet that should have more intestinal fortitude than what he showed. Out of college, his accuracy was touted as a strength, and yet in this game, he was missing easy completions all over the place. I understand adrenaline takes over for the first drive or two, but this dude played over 30 minutes of this game. He should have been better.

    Texans and Bengals. Two mirror images of each other but opposite.

    Bengals have good offense, terrible defense

    Texans has good defense, terrible offense.

    Both teams have only 3 wins this season and is a disappointment.

    Is Demeco gonna complain about the "noise" this week? They deserve to be criticized

    What is up with Demeco being so defensive, hostile, abrasive when asked reasonable questions? I'm starting to lose respect for him.
