What about referees influencing second half betting lines?

Before his first Opening Day start at QB, Mahomes already had a full season of tutelage under his belt at the side of Andy freakin’ Reid. He learned how to handle being in the NFL for a year before he had the pressure of a mid-season playoff race to deal with. He walked into a playoff caliber offense with established talent and a system that everyone already knew like the back of their hand. There is no comparison between what CJ is doing now vs. what Mahomes did in his first full season as QB.

I hope you’re right

If he gets offered a HC job he’ll take it. Those opportunities are never guaranteed to come again, and obviously the money is ridiculous.

That said, I don’t think he’ll get an offer. He may get interviewed, but I think he’s still in prove-it mode for most.

But, it only takes one desperate owner to ruin everything…

It depends on how that looks to someone else.

I think he should have ran the ball on 3rd down, but that’s what JAX expected. Who knows if those plays where meant to go deep? JAX could’ve done a great job of taking away the short throws because they gambled on getting pressure.

Some may credit him for putting the ball in his best player’s hands.

DeMeco wasn’t wrong to try the field goal. He almost made it.

CJ was gassed and even if we got the first down we would’ve had to rush up to the line and spike it.

We need pressure up the middle in the QB’s face.

Coach of the Year could be decided in the Texans vs Broncos game

I only have one knock on Slowik today, and I don’t know if it was even his fault. Pulling Singletary and putting in Boone on the first 4th down attempt. Singletary turns that corner for a 1st down.

Defender pulled Woods arm down on that INT. No call…

This seems like a fantasy football question. I don’t care about that. Just get open and catch the ball when it’s your turn. That’s real football. We don’t want any divas in the WR group. Everyone steps up.

ONLY if he can be effective for 10-15 snaps a game. There’s absolutely no way he’s an every down defender again. Those days are long gone.

BUT, if he can convince DeMeco that he’s willing (and able) to play within the system, and he is physically 75% of what he used to be, then he’s absolutely worth it.

Look what Case Keenum is doing with CJ as a player-coach. Imagine having that for Will Anderson during a playoff run.

If Cal gave two bleeps what I think…

Permanent Look:

• Battle Red Helmets
• Deep Steel Blue Jerseys
• Liberty White Pants

Agreed.

This team needs serious help on the D-Line. If they had one more player that offenses had to doubleteam, our LBs and DBs would be even more effective. If they can pull off that magic in the off-season, next year is going to be a crazy ride.

1. If the Texans had a proven zone RB (think Arian Foster type), we’d be moving the ball much better on the ground than with any of the current backs on the roster. He’d be able to take advantage of the times the O-Line gets it right. Arian had high-level vision and anticipation. Not to mention speed and size. And while he’d be a significant upgrade over what the Texans have now, he’d only be able to do so much behind this O-Line. They’re not the most talented run blockers to begin with, its their first season in a new system, and they’ve had no continuity within the personnel group. Injuries have delayed the development of the run game.

2. If the Texans bolster the middle of the O-Line (G-C-G) in the off-season, and get it right, the AFC South is in trouble. If they do that, and upgrade at RB, they’ll be a real tough out in the playoffs. If they make the right moves on the O-Line, land a scheme fit at RB, -and- land a stud on the D-Line, they’ll be a legit threat to win it all.

Slowik built this line?

Think Peyton Manning to Marvin Harrison
