1/18 Texans @ Chiefs divisional playoff thread

[Johnnycage46]

This was such a vintage 2024 KC game. Kinda played ok, helped by refs, other team panics and craps the bed lol.

Stroud is not a smart QB.  KC shows blitz and he did not read it on three straight plays.

Oof Dalton Shultz with the worst attempt at blocking you will see all day on that sack.

 

that was really bad all around.

Mixon's a couple plays earlier on Jones was worse

In theory, this sounds great.  But you don't get to play just the Chiefs.....you have to play the refs and the league as well.  They want nothing more than the Chiefs to be the first team to 3-peat.  On the surface, all things being equal, sure.....bring on the Chiefs.  But it is not equal and we will be going in there not only having to beat them, but pushing a boulder up a steep hill at the same time.  

Well there is no going around them, so much like the Ravens, they have little other choice but to go through them… it’s surprising the Texans even kept it a game this long, as Stroud is basically Jameis Winston 2.0 back there. All the arm talent in the world, but between the ears?

Enjoy the win KC. Either way you will have a much better team coming to town next week. 

They'll still win no matter who they play.

Horrible to break the huddle that late on the road on such a crucial play.  That's not on Stroud.

Twice, the Texans let unblocked Chiefs come right up the middle on 2nd and 3rd down. I get that they are blitzing more guys than the Texans have to block but Stroud or the staff or the Center has to have everyone block down in those situations and turn loose the edge player not the guy coming right up the gut. Stroud almost made a ridiculous throw on 2nd down and if they had blocked it correctly it probably goes for a huge gain and possibly a TD. Then on 4th down if you decide to go for it how bout take the Timeout and get your team settled instead of rushing them to the line and snapping it in a hurry with 1 on the play clock. Small things are costing the Texans in this football game that has nothing to do with the referees.

[Augie]

I don’t even remember seeing the looking glass, yet here I am on the other side.   🤷‍♂️

 

WTH kind of decision was that??? 

 

We have some fans for you, Texans! 

[BRH]

This man said himself he was one of the top five QBs in the league.

You’re down 1 score, go for it on 4 & 10, and get sacked to put KC in FG range. WOW. Just wow…

Nico is a bad coach call TO , get the right play, everything is Helter Skelter with this team

[Mikie2times]

Don’t cry CJ 

[PatB]

I know I sound like Monday morning quarterback... but there is no way they should have gone for that.
KC offence was vulnerable.
I guess they have no faith in their defense

[KeLLy1278]

This game is a perfect example of why people give up watching sports. 

[Scott7975]

You guys being so disrespectful to a top 5 QB. You don't even recognize greatness when you see it.

Stroud is just awful. 

That coaching staff is awful. How don't you have a decision made on if your going for it or not. He had no time to read the defense. I'm shocked they did not at least call a time out in that situation. Shockingly bad football for this time of the year.

That's some god awful situational football by Stroud.

 

 

Agreed but he had no chance, it is partly on the staff too with the rushing.

Going on fourth down is on the coach.  Low percentage success rate.
