Man imagine putting a talent like Tre Harris or Savion Williams on the point where Woods was. That's a big play waiting to happen.
New drinking game - any time the Texans are on defense and you hear the refs say the phrase "automatic first down" you take a drink.
So you think they are above average against the rush? I don't pay much attention to linemen honestly.
The Market for Stingley on SPOTRAC is 3 years $77,812,884 or $25,937,628/yr. What I don't know is whether that includes his 5th year option year (2026) or not. We do have to declare after this season whether we would exercise his option for 2026, which is a no brainer. But would their 3 year contract be for 2026-2029 or 2027-2030 AFTER his option is 5th year option is exercised at a predetermined Salary based on NFL calculations? Of course Stingley's Option doesn't start until Hunter's contract expires, so there are still various ways to play this.
I don't care what he says. That's just BS. Of course we have a chance to win. In fact, KC has squeaked by all season long on some of their wins, and their luck might just run out Saturday. Nothing would make me happier than to shut up all the doubters 2 weeks in a row, and burst the hopes of all those Chiefs fans sitting out in the cold watching the game.
I wonder what the odds on a two score Houston Texans win would be? I just don't believe we live in an age of unbeatable dynasties. It wasn't too long ago San Fransisco was expected to be that dynasty and look what happened.
I made a joke that of course we will smack the Chargers to shut up critics and hype all of us up, only to turn back into the NFL laughing stock this week. I'm buying into the hype. I actually believe the Texans are going to give the Chiefs a legitimate scare. I just don't see the Texans overcoming the Chiefs chemistry and experience + refs. The talking heads will talk more about the Chiefs being beatable vs giving the Texans credit, but that "you will respect us" statement will loom over the horizon. Chiefs are facing the probability of 3 peating only done by one franchise and not since 1967. The probability and difficulty of that vs the probability that the Texans remain the only franchise to not make a single conference championship appearance in their over 2 decades of existence. Quite a game to place bets on.
I agree and disagree with both of your statements. Mahomes is so clutch it's crazy. He goes into a different zone when the game is on the line. Our LBs aren't the best in pass coverage and Kelce has seen everything. He also goes to another level when it's winning time. Otherwise, the Texans defense matches up well with the Chiefs offense, Sting and Lassiter in particular on their WRs, and also WAJ and Hunter on their weakfish OTs. The counter is the Chiefs interior OL is rock solid and Mahomes pocket presence is almost superhuman at times. All in all, I think the Texans defense is up to the task and will keep the game close if they avoid broken plays. The Texans offense is where I'm most concerned. Against the Chargers, CJ morphed from a paralyzed, erratic, nervous kitten taking unnecessary sacks into a decisive playmaker who got rid of the ball quickly and threw darts. He must be on point for 60 mins. Spags will adapt their defense to whatever Slowik presents them while Slowik won't adapt back.
Take a 3 td lead to the half. Run lateral plays and waste the clock every possession. Give fairbairn a chance to kick 50-60 yarders the rest of the game. slowik game plan.
