  1. Most my thoughts were covered in the video. On top of the broncos situation (which is solely and specifically why you try mills in that game-you had to try to win that at all costs) this year, we also had an incredible run of luck with health on defense. This one is worse than 24-0, Cody nailed it.

    We’re stuck in the situation where Demeco would prob be a better DC but you want him here, Caley didn’t have a RB and had to baby CJ so you can’t blame him, like all there is to do is add a RB and some OL pieces and try again.

  2. Don’t love Will saying that and am tired of all the Iron Age mythology and superstition is bigger than football stuff. You’re on that camera and getting paid solely to play football. Do what you want in your personal life, but stop with all that, please. It may motivate Will but it seems to be an ineffective crutch for CJ.

  3. Landry is correct. Davis Mills wouldn't have fared any better in the second half. And let's not forget Woody's fumble, because a TD there could've potentially tied the game late.

  5. If you were gonna run the football, where was Jordan? He wasn’t even active that kid ran for over 100 yards of his first game, but these are the things that happen with the Texans that drive me completely crazy.

  6. I think we need a new QB coach.. and CJ needs time to grow up a bit smh. We thought he was ready to elevate a sub par offense but he’s not. We gotta draft a line.

  10. Does it really matter if y'all lose CJ cause you pulled him out of the game. He isn't a team player if he feels like that.Remember this is a business and it's CJ job and if he doesn't meet demands or expectations sit him down and give mills his chances.I don't want to hear from Stroud and his excuses or demeco s bullshit

  14. Bullshit just because you still have him on the team doesn't mean you have to play him.But the coaching staff is to stupid to realize that. No playoffs for a long time

  16. Only problem with mills is the weather. Would his throws have been inaccurate too? And then we would’ve just crushed our Already weak minded starting QB spirit.

  17. I feel like it matters… and I know people hear/ see this and think that it’s evil but the religion thing… obviously, there’s nothing wrong with having a relationship with GOD but the it’s ok to be terrible because “no matter what, Jesus loves you” attitude is not it. Personally, some of the most delusional people I’ve ever known, are also heavily religious. Yall remember the last “team chapel”

  18. If a starting ace pitcher is having a bad day they pull him early. Doesn't mean he loses his designation or position in the rotation/status. He gets his next start. If an NHL starting #1 goalie has a bad game and lets in a few soft goals, he gets pulled and the back up comes in. Sometimes it gives the team a jolt. Doean't mean the #1 goalie loses his #1 status. He's back btwn the pipes next game. The Texans should've started Mills in the 2nd half to try something different just to win the game. Then you start Stroud the next game with a clean slate. At least you live to see another day.
