    I wonder if they also studied the game tape together.

    Stroud’s 28.0 passer rating today worst by an NFL QB in the last decade……..since Brian Hoyer’s performance for the Texans 10 years ago :D

    No..they wouldn't. Mills is not winning this game with those injuries. You have to be able to run the ball to help Mills.

    And no, that wasnt the worst performance by a QB in playoff history. There have been many much worse.

    He better not get the max. We would have won that game if we had just a game manager who doesn't turn the ball over.

    After CJ's first year we gave Slowik and Jerod Johnson (QB coach) pay raises.

    we drafted 2 WRs cause of last year end of season and playoffs and Noel doesn’t even get on field and he’s the main one who can create a threat

    CJ and Caley love throwing those hospital balls across the middle but we never attack the seams or use double move routes… our offense so predictable they sit on every route all game

    PATHETIC, WEAK-WILLED EFFORT BY QB1

    Wasted a great defense.

    Pats defense weren’t world beaters today. Just were fortunate for CJ to somehow have a significantly worse game than last week. It’s tough that we’re here, but it’s time to explore QB options

    Meanwhile sam ****ing Darnold is probably going to win the Super Bowl. It’s not like you need an awesome QB, you need one that understands his ****ing job and how not to negate a historically great defense.

    Def shyt the bed in last 2 games of this season. A run game might have helped alleviate some of it.

    Def looked shook in the first half. But like you said a FQB cannot do that.

    I would pay him reasonable FQB $$$, but most of it would be tied up in playoff bonuses & performance bonuses.

    You want the bag? Gotta earn it... that being said look at some of the highest paid QBs in NFL

    The Top 10 highest paid QBs have not won a SB... #11 is Jalen Hurts.

    Pay CJ around $40M with incentives to earn $50M+ if Texans in Superb Owl

    You're beyond delusional and it can't be healthy for you.

    Literally no QB in NFL history has ever thrown 5+ interceptions and had 5 fumbles in a single postseason before...your boy just did.

    Sorry, but there's no excuses you can make for him.

    Patriots only 248 total yards. Just 7 more yards than the Texans

    Texans held them 130 yards below their season average.

    Patriots just 21.3% third down conversion.

    Without the pick 6, Patriots were 7 points below their season average even with all the crazy TD grabs. As of right now, Patriots offense only playing well against bad defenses is still true. Texans D stopped them.

    The offensive turnovers really let them down

    17 points would've been enough without the turnovers, but the Texans never got there.

    Name them, please.

    I want to see the caliber of player and collapses that CJ belongs in.
