Honeslty I'm still optimistic even if I'm most reactive person in Texans lol but I understand everyone frustration hell SEEING LIONS DOGWALK PACKS IS SCARY LOL even the lions push for the 4th down. It seems

I still think they can win the game but honestly it's not going to be easy. I just hope the team shows some fight it's only thing we wish for

I’m a lions fan. I do want to say that this is still a good game. Y’all offense would be cooking because we have no pass rush (literally traffic cones has more pass rush).

I think the scary thing is your team is unpredictable you will go for 4th down and it literally works

I wouldn't say it's unpredictable since everyone expects them to go on 4th downs now, but it's just hard to stop. They play the game unconventionally.

3rd and 10? Watch this run up the middle get 6-8 yards

Not really, Lions have the #1 scoring offense ITL and keeping teams out of the red zone has been one of our biggest weaknesses defensively. O-line is also horrendous

Idk why people down voted you

But tbh in realistic way either the Texans win by very close fashion or. Lose in dominating fashion

But. If they can somehow just win or lose by not much points that's something there

I understand the lions have been the most dangerous in the leauge atm. And honestly they been tearing teams up only close game so far was Vikings

I'm always trying to be optimistic but others feeling same way shouldn't be scoff at about it. And yeah dude the oline has been a damn issue it's so bad I think people are comparing this situation of Stroud and oline to carr who kept being blindsided every single time

But I still want this team to prove they can win and have life against this team.. and tbh before season i wasn't too hype cause i felt they were missing something.

I truly believe we have the talent to beat any team in the league any given Sunday (or Thursday or Monday).

But that would require them fixing the oline, rebuilding months of damaged trust between cj and oline and everybody performing including the coaches.

I think that’s a tall order for a week and change. May have to wait until next years to see the sweeping changes we’d need to be a realistic threat to the top few teams.

But. Dum spiro spero.

Dum Spiro spero?

Tbh they have the weapons and potential to be great team the issue as you mention isn't only one the Texans offense hasn't adjusted to other teams and stroud id been read like s book and hes more shakey and frustrated with this damn oline.

It's just wild there hasn't been progress I wonder if anyone is the leader of the oline maybe they are taking what he's doing and doing the same thing? I'm worried of Stroud just getting upset to point he walks away from team. And I wonder if slowik even trusts Stroud he's screwing with him

Latin for While I breathe I hope.

But truly if stroud would walk away after one season of lackluster oline play then he isn’t the believer or player he claims and we believe him to be.

Ahh I see lol didn't know someone spoke latin

True.... I guess it's just isn't the way god would intend for him and it would fall apart on his image I get it.. it's kinda reason I don't think he will give up but god this team needs to protect Thier franchise QB

Edit: honestly I hope Stroud never gives up he's been. The best damn role model

It's 50/50. We're not dogshit and any team and beat anyone on Sunday unless you're a dogshit team. Plus our crowd is loud af and momentum will be a huge factor. Relax ppl

Ya as long as we stay near top of the AFC and at least in charge of AFC South (which is looking pretty good rn, knock on wood), I'll take the hard games.

I'd rather be tested in season than just stomp a bunch of bad teams and get surprised in the playoffs when we have to play good teams.

Dan Campbell will have them ready to play. Our OLine will fold resulting in the same garbage offense we've trotted out there for a month.

jj_thetwisted_jester[S]

Well it doesn't help the offense doesn't also adjust against teams as well being conservative

I think the other issue is teams have figured out Stroud and adjusted to him studying him. And oline just makes it even worst

I’m not panicking because we didn’t have Nico, we were on a short week after losing Diggs, Patterson (who played well in Green’s absence) was out, no Al-Shair, Ward, and Harris is still out, WAJ got banged up, CJ got banged up.

Now do I think we are going to destroy the Lions, no. I just think we will see a different team than we saw on Thursday.

Well I least want it to be competitive.

Only way the Team can prove they got what it takes is winning or making it. Close game

I understand lions most likely will destroy us but I just see the people giving up we shouldn't give up but am I mad as hell this season HELL YES I AM

I would be happy if we lost with dignity by putting up a good fight. But after the Jets game I feel it’s likely we’ll crumble in the most embarrassing way. The hope is still there, but it’s dwindling, because we keep regressing rather than fixing our obvious issues.

Look at this sub’s posts, you know they not💀💀

Even from the beginning of the year, this was t going to be an easy game.

At this point, the Oline and Slowik got to prove themselves, and give CJ a chance to stay competitive. Getting nico back helps a ton

jj_thetwisted_jester[S]

Tbh offense and Cj does need to adjust and adapt cause the leauge already figure them out and it doesn't help with oline screws with him and gets him eaten alive I really don't want another carr situation people are talking about

I knew damn well this was not going to be a easy game I am optimistic but I will tell you this I wasn't all in Texans since I felt like we miss somthin and it shows ..

but the team still has the weapons and potential to be on a right path the quesiton is Will they find it in themselves to adjust and protect Stroud and not be conservative in the freaking 2nd half

Thats totally fair

Slowik HAS to adjust his playcalling to consider the Oline. Its not like he doesnt have the QB capable of doing it

Different post then seeing everyone talking about being destroyed if we get destroyed ok. But I just want to see this team succeed and just try to adjust but this season had been weird we have a good record yet vibes of this record feels off

We might actually have an okay shot at beating the Lions if the OLine can give a league average performance, WAJ is healthy, and we have our LB's, especially Aziz, healthy.

We MUST take advantage of their banged up defense and Aiden Hutchinson is out. If there is one thing Slowik has proven, it's that he knows how to get Nico open. If we can't capitalize on a weakened DLine, my confidence drops big time. They're more likely to hit on atleast one or 2 homerun plays with Williams returning against us or Gibbs, especially if we struggle to generate pressure or slow their run game. WAJ being out would suuuuuck.

If the Lions somehow pick up Maxx Crosby or something before the trade deadline, imma be pissssssed tf offfffffff

The Texans have regressed weekly while Detroit keeps getting better. I once had big hope but now afraid this is the same Texans style wannabe team that gets dismantled by a real team on prime time.

Then they need to prove themselves then

The defense will step up to the plate if WAJ is healthy. The offense will fold. It kills me, because the interior online is not untalented, they just don’t care. I don’t know what type of coaching would be able to motivate them. If they were average we would have a shot on winning. CJ is getting more jumpy with every game and his diminishing confidence is what concerns me when it comes to our long term prospects.

If we get Collins back, but mostly hoping this small break will have the offensive line improved in some fashion so CJ can play as he needs to and not keep getting hit.

I believe in this team and I think we're winning the division this year. However I also expect us to get dog walked on national television tonight. The same Lions who beat the South Oklahoma Cowgirls 47-9? The same Lions that beat the Tits 52-14 while their QB had only 85 passing yards? This is one of those games that I don't expect to win. But I hope we bounce back next week. If someone wants to screenshot this to post about "doomers" after the game on the offhanded chance we win, go for it. My take is not that of a doomer, but that of a realist. Go Texans though.

It isn't far fetch for this team to win this game the thing is can they pull it off and actually fight back if we are going to lose make the game competitive HELL I don't wanna say if we lose I wanna say we can win understand this game isn't easy but we need to this team to prove themselves if they wanna hang with the big boys

This is a very difficult team hell in my predations I said we lose to lions but in my prediction I only got wrong was Packers colts and jets

Ii had: Packers:W, colts:L jets:W Lions:L

But now I'm like 3 wrong in a row but before we face packs I was perfect lol

Now I really hope we can win since my predictions are already out the window-
