Texans watch

I think we are on a collision course with Proto-Mahomes

Stroud had a couple throws today that should have been interceptions. Last year he was very careful with the ball. Seems to be more aggressive this year.

Troll or stupid? I used to think troll but leaning toward you just being dumb.

Show me thirty of these plays and his stat line before crowning the next Mahomes.

[KCBlitz]

Well he’s no Caleb Williams.

They're really good but not as good as the Ravens. They're playing better football than CIN at the moment. I put them in a three way tie with MIA and BUF as the third tier teams in the AFC. JAX takes the fourth tier.

Josh Allen has a serious competitor for 2nd best QB in the NFL

[New World Order]

They’re our new Bengals.

Great qb

Plenty of weapons

Good enough defense

Did you miss his rookie season?

Their weapons are legit. They have a 3 headed monster at WR that's honestly probably better than the Bengals group. The real problem is Mixon had 178 total yards today and looked great. They were horrible running the ball last year. If they can start punishing you like that for trying to guard their speed at WR they're going to be a pain to defend.

Their offense worries me more than any Bengals team we've faced.

They will be a strong contender for the one seed, and they absolutely cannot have that. Houston would not be a fun place for us to play.

I felt like the Lions, Eagles, and Ravens looked like best teams outside of us this week.The Bills looked alright in the 2nd half of their game. Dolphins offense was fast, per usual.

Obviously we’ll see what the 49ers and Jets look like tomorrow.

Still feeling great about our chances.

Thry're better than the Ravens IMO. Their QB can throw the football and they have many more skill position players. Stroud is in the same class with Allen and Burrow. In fact, he may just be the head of that class. They also have excellent coaching.

The Ravens did not look all that good.

Texans defense looked very vulnerable imo. Their secondary got beat over and over again by Pierce and Mitchell. The first time Pierce beat their best two corners Lassiter and Stingley on a simple deep ball and then Richardson missed AD Mitchell twice with deep balls after he beat his man down field and was wide open.

Offensively they were OK but were bailed out big time by soft penalties that negated two picks and also gave them fresh downs inside the ten when they were stopped. They possessed the ball for 40 minutes, had 213 rushing yards and only won by two points against a QB who has only played a handful of games? Not overly impressed tbh.

And next week they have Caleb who looked like utter garbage today. So I'd expect them to win that one aswell. And no, they aren't better than 2021 Bengals imo. Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon, Perine and Uzomah were tough to deal with and their defense rose up against good competition.

Eagles were decent offensively but Hurts tried his best to give the game away and their new defense was all over the place. Cowboys looked decent but just like the Bills it's what they do in the regular season. Plus Watson looks like all the injuries and missed time has messed him up.
