    This O-line is going to determine how good this team is but committing penalties is easy fix, and just have to be disciplined.

    Slowik should have left in the offseason. Guess teams were smart not to hire him as a head coach. We were unlucky

    We are not an elite team

    Luckily we have a 2 game lead on the division because just winning it is not a guarantee

    Offensive line is bad, play calling is bad. Secondary is average.

    We lose today, next week against Jax becomes a must win because the schedule ramps up right after that

    Our first two games would have been sizable wins without terrible penalties on the O-line, a fumble at the 3 yard line and a couple dropped passes that would have been TD’s

    Exactly. The Texans aren't a cute little story anymore due to how good it's believed Stroud is. Coaching needs to come up a few levels.

    Do they have an unofficial referee calling penalties during practice? This team is so ridiculously undisciplined.

    The penalties are killing the Texans not Brian Flores’ defense. I don’t know why these announcers keep praising Flores defense

    The check down is there. CJ is getting tunnel vision.

    Tunsil has been bad. He shouldnt bring extra focus on himself. But it kinda feels like its targeting on him to justify using the rule.

    The CJ hype train didnt start for a few weeks last year and they totally got slapped in the first two games of the season.

    Texans look bad, but in the NFL, its never as good or bad as it seems from week-to-week. Things change. I'm not going to get TOO worked up about a single inatance of crapping the bed against a very good team in their stadium.

    NFL is the worst sport for mood swings from game to game.

    Our division is still dookie so we're still golden but that football terrorist Laremy Tunsil needs to be stopped.

    Tunsil has been one of the best players for the Vikings defense.Single handle killing offensive drives

    Yeah Tunsil false starts like 2x per game tbh.

    That's on him. He's always trying to get the jump and some games he has to realize the refs are watching him.

    These illegal formation trash calls because he's a centimeter off the line is garbage. That needs to go. If its not blatantly obvious the refs shouldn't call it.

    No. Literally impossible. The minimum is 2.

    If Tunsil has one more penalty I’d bench him.

    Need some ****ing accountability.

    55 pass yards called back because of Tunsil not to mention, killed the drives in the process which led to sacks and the int to start
