See…this is why I don’t like to read ahead in the schedule. I was having enough trouble with a narrative that could beat the Titans next week.

Maybe I will get that landscaping in the backyard done this fall…

Feels inevitable that this game will end on a 65+yd FG attempt by Little #Texans

Texans Defense making some plays. C’mon offense!

This really should have been a Thursday Night football game, with special Nike uniforms and Al Michaels getting increasingly irate over the shit football he’s being forced to watch

Just a vintage AFCS struggle going on here #Texans #Jags

It's been clear for a while that Stroud has a confidence problem. Maybe someone else - a coach maybe - caused it but this problem has stuck for two years now. The guy never looks certain about his decisions.

Well, Jags iced their own kicker into a shank…so we got that going for us. #Texans

More of the same for the Texans. On different drives today they've faced: - Third-and-12 - Third-and-22 - Third-and-14 - Third-and-12 - Third-and-13

Texans defense doing their usual work. But still it was a FG drive that took half the 3rd quarter. Just can’t play this many snaps with the energy they want.

Why no timeout from DeMeco after the sack?! You just let the 2 minute warning happen during the change of possession?!! #Texans

WAJ sighting! #Texans

That screen could not have been setup better. 3OL in 2 defenders and they got pushed backwards?!?? #Texans

3 straight games…zero energy…zero urgency…just nothing from the Texans. Play with some f’ing tempo!!

Schedule makers did us a favor here. Generally speaking, an early window game against the Jags has been good for what ails the Texans. Need to see the OL start putting it together a little bit and the defense wrap up RBs instead of just trying to knock them over.

When you lay it all out like that...

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Before WWII, Germany was the center of the scientific world. Germany had more Nobel laureates than any other nation. German was one of the required languages for scientific discourse. Brain drain is real and a natural consequence of fascist, autocratic rule.

this is so, so good

Grifters all around. But seriously, the FBI gave him $50k and thought “if Trump wins, then it will be a crime and we will be able to pursue it”? Seems….naive…

I used to think that “Trump thinks asylum means people came from insane asylums” was an uncharitable and argumentative interpretation, but it gets increasingly hard to avoid that conclusion.

I’m sure there are plenty of advanced analytics about Texans offensive efficiency, but just the basics on 1st down are brutal: 22 runs on 1st & 10 for an avg of 2.1 yds/play. 7 plays for 0 or negative yards! You can toss out the 2 illegal motion penalties, but that doesn’t make it much better.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Just unreal…

Not quite sure what to think here. Stroud is always looking downfield for Nico in scramble drill with a lot of success. This throw is almost another ridiculous conversion. But also D.O. is available and at a minimum gets them into FG range with a chance at more if he makes one guy miss.

New, from me: my first story for CBS Sports is up, and we're talking Texans! Houston has a problem, but can they solve it before things get ugly? www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tex...

Texans may never escape the ‘Patriots South’ label, but the Matt Canada comparisons are a rough look.

when Sidney Poitier died in 2022, I wrote about how "Sneakers" is one of my favorite movies of all time-and holds up terrifically well for a 30+ year-old techno-thriller. with Robert Redford's passing, I am again imploring you to watch this perfect movie: www.actioncookbook.com/you-guysll-b...

Was able to get thru 1H last night before passing out, my halftime #Texans thoughts: CJ not bad, but Baker just a bit more precise when it mattered (Baker hit his 4th option across back of end zone, CJ overthrew Watson by a step) Tomlinson completely whiffed block was brutal 1/

Surprising only those that didn’t watch the first game?

4PM Monday start means no live viewing for me today. Hopefully, by the time I’m able to get in front of TV I’m not too discouraged to watch #Texans

These fucking people…

Broncos ST just handing the win to the Colts. Unreal. It’s a 60 yard field goal attempt by a nobody kicker. What are you doing?!?!

I'm not anti-tush push, but the Eagles guards pretty consistently jump before the snap and it will never be called

I was too enthralled by the…fireworks…in Dallas. Did give enough attention to this collapse by the #LOLJags

Somebody check on @dannyheifetz.bsky.social This game is drunk.

“Classic” Era: Sports Night “Modern” Era: I’m Sorry 3-season honorable mention: Happy Endings

oh wow, almost as if the whole thing was a blatant lie that was obviously cooked up from the start, and should have been reported as such by any responsible news organization.

Who would have thought that running a massive government agency was harder than shitposting on Twitter?

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Trump had to be strong-armed to lowering US flags to half-mast for John McCain.

Cool chart

HAPPENING NOW: The Trump administration withdraws its claim that parents of the Guatemalan children it tried to send back last month had requested their return. DOJ says it has no basis for that claim now in light of contradictory info provided by the Guatemalan government.

Sometimes's there a perfect poetry to the world. Anyway, may I introduce you to: "anti-vaxx offensive line coach cannot keep C.J. Stroud protected." www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/texan...

Boots on the ground…decent number of Texans jerseys. Go Texans!

First IRL Texans game for me in quite a while (I think pre-BOB?). I’ll be at Sofi today in my ‘vintage’ steel blue 59 jersey.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

they either blatantly murdered 11 people or they faked murdering 11 people for shits and giggles and i honestly don't know which is more depraved

National folks really need to stop trying to make ‘Jags’ happen. I get the exercise, have to pick someone else in AFCS…think I would just go with the Colts to maximize their floor play and go 9-8 against an easy schedule.

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday
