Yes we do. I'm even offering B-Bob sky miles to make it so. Does anyone know who the head ref is this weekend so I can add him or her to the law firm.
Chiefs with Mahomes in Kansas City? I won't believe the Texans can win until I see it. The defense has been the best in the league but Mahomes can make it look bad. Plus the offense needs to score TDs, multiple TDs. Settling for FGs won't beat the Chiefs.
Man O Man, its time to put the curse to bed but DAM, this is going to be tough. Chiefs are in survival mode with a top 5 all time coach in Reid, its PRIME TIME, it's in KC and its gonna be cold............oh yea, and that Mahomes character. My heart says they can, but my head says, you know that Mahomes cat is really special. If we were ever going to steal a win its now and that would essentially put a dagger in the hearts of all of them, so I am going to root my ass off and HOPE CJ lights it up, to win we have to keep 15 off the field and have some LONG time consuming drives which we have shown to do. You can't be elite if you can't beat the elite teams...............................time to man up TEXANS and show the rest of the league that we have arrived,
I'm at a point where I just don't want to get embarrassed in prime time games...the Buffalo game helped with that obviously, but SNF and MNF are a different animal.
I expect the defense to play it's nastiest, most physical game of the season. You're gonna hear snap, crackle and pop on every single tackle. I have no idea what the offense will do other than settle for more FGs than they score TDs. IF the offense doesn't turn the ball over and the defense avoids giving up big plays over the top, Texans have a very good chance to win. Problem is, my gut tells me the offense will cough it up 2-3 times. This Sunday night is when we find out if the Texans are to be taken seriously.
These aren’t the Chiefs of years past, but Mahomes is still back there and I won’t count him out until it’s official. The team has surprised me though, still not fully sold on the Texans, but this should be a fascinating game
Stroud making the right decisions and not taking bad risks will be critical. Don't be afraid to throw it away. You're not going to outrun Chris Jones and avoid that sack. Just throw it away or fall forward and minimize the loss of yardage. It's also going to be important how well we play Kelce. This defense is great but sometimes we get a little soft over the middle in pass coverage, which good TEs will feast on. If we can contain Kelce, and Stroud and others manage to not turn the ball over, we have a decent chance. Mahomes will probably convert some 3rd and longs on us with his legs. It just always seems to happen. Hopefully those don't turn into roughing the passer type hits, but who knows with the refs. It's gonna have to be a bend/don't break type defensive effort, I feel. Make the stops when you need to. We probably won't turn KC over a lot, but if we can limit to field goals, then it keeps the game within reach.
We should set up a bingo card: - roughing the passer (Texans) - unnecessary roughness, late hit on QB (Texans) - defensive PI/illegal contact (Texans) - Mahomes 3rd down scramble for a first - Kelce wide open after beating a LB in coverage - Kelce catch while being guarded by a LB who isn't looking for the ball - missed holding call (Chiefs) What am I missing?
60 yard FG attempt that misses wide and gives Mahomes a short short field. Offensive P.I, while every route KC runs is a P.I
3 uncalled false starts by KC OL Offsides by HOU DL 3X (even though it was KC OL moving first) OPI by HOU WR (likely Hutchinson) Dropped pass by Nico as his arm is wrapped up by KC DB (no call) HOU DPI (even though Mahomes throws the ball 30 rows up in the stands) CC mentions the cold weather and Texans playing in a dome 2 billion times Game comes down to a FG (even though KC false starts - 3 penalties by HOU makes it a chip shot) FG is blocked by Autry and Texans STILL win
- Stroud runs backwards for 10+ yards to avoid a sack and then gets sacked anyway - Taylor Swift gets shown on screen
3rd and 10, Mahomes throws a incomplete pass. 2 seconds after the ball lands on the ground a flag gets thrown for a holding/illegal contact away from the play, automatic 1st down KC.
This is it, well said. If you want to be one of the "big boys," you've got to beat the big boys. If the Texans walk out of KC with the win, they are a "real" contender. Almost doesn't mean anything other than you lost.
