Ryans should be fire for that clock management, they did that a few years ago to the Bears coach.
Season is basically over before it ever got started. Aggie and Texans football are a hand to glove relationship.
Or a boot to the ass relationship.

If I had to choose I'd vote Caserio. Didn't like his hire in the beginning. He's done some good things but I think we've seen his ceiling as a GM.
I'd bet my paycheck that he's not going anywhere though.
Maybe these morons should play some preseason snap so it doesnt take them a quarter of the season to get going
I turned the game off at 12:39 and it has been a very pleasant afternoon.
What's the over/under on posts in this thread the rest of the season?

What makes matters worse are both were expected to make the playoffs. The season being over by September was nothing any of us could've imagined.

All of a sudden a fall wedding doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a weekend. Or maybe finally going to the pumpkin patch
Watson now 2-1 for the browns

in 5 years Caserio has been unable to fix the o-line and the WR2 position
Stroud will go first of the three
I think DeMeco is the safest

Good news: bow season starts Saturday
Bad news: I have a surgery Thursday that will put me out of any activities for 6-8 weeks.
Fall is totally screwed for me. FML
Here's Texans QB C.J. Stroud with a not-so-subtle comment about the conservative play calling from his OC (Nick Caley):

If I'm CJ why would I even want to come back? Someone will pay him and it might as well be a team who tries to get him help. Something Caserio has proven to be incapable of.
I actually love that from him. He's not wrong
A&M was not expected to make the playoffs. Don't dream up stuff to help with BAS.
I watched several playoff preseason predictions. None had A&M.

Holy ****, I hadn't been able to watch the game. I just saw that we went up 17-16 with 20 seconds left and thought we won.
We didn't go up with 20 seconds left. We scored with like 2 minutes left
Oh, OK. When I was looking at it on the ESPN app it looked like we scored that touchdown with 20 seconds left. It must've been 20 seconds left when they kick the field goal.
In a world when you can be anything, be the person that ends the meeting early.

I could see where Stroud might want to leave town, but the teams that will be looking for a QB in the offseason -- like the Browns, Steelers, Dolphins, Jets, Titans, etc.., have terrible o-line and WR situations too
Defintely don't disagree on the Oline situation, but not sure i agree on WR/TE/RB.W said:tcow715 said:

Browns: Boston, KC, Jeudy, Fannin, Judkins
Steelers: DK, Pittman, Roman Wilson, Meuth/Washington
Jets: Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Kenyon Sadiq
Titans: Carnell Tate, Wandale Robinson, Calvin Ridley
Outside of Nico, all of these rooms are significantly better.
after 3 weeks...the defense that has allowed the fewest points is:
the Jaguars
36 points in 3 games
the Jaguars
36 points in 3 games
2-1 over the next three games will do a lot to stabilize things. Anything less than that and the season is toast
They started last year 0-3 and rattled off 12 Ws in a row so it is doable.

I'll keep Demeco - so long to the other two.
Jeez...why keep him too???
The problem lies with Caserio and still this need to try and recreate the NE patriots.
I'm convinced the Caley hire was not Demeco's choice and that was a Caserio pick.
It made no sense to fire Slowik after 1 year of playcalling to go rehire someone with no OC experience. But he was a NE guy so Caserio gave him the reigns.
With the talent they have on defense Demeco should've just gotten a solid proven OC and he could've taken his hands completely off that side of the ball and told his OC 'It's all yours...I got the defense you unlock CJ and run this offense'.

A big Monday morning Bingo Shoutout to WESAG2006!
The only person with the foresight to take the 3+ losing streak bingo square. I bet you didn't think, "Hey, I'll have this by September 28, did ya?"
Other genius picks among us this year so far include:
Over 9.5 wins
Montgomery 1,000 yards: on pace for 584
Nico 1,150 yards receiving: on pace for 425
After watching the Aggies until halftime, I turned the Texans off at the 40-minute mark, feeling like I was having deja vu.

The Texans started 0-3 in 2025, finished 12-5 and made the playoffs.

This plus Demeco learn clock management and when to use Timeouts.

He has been a HC for 3 years. How much longer does he get to learn clock management?
Eh...I think I watch a decent amount of football throughout the week and I'm convinced most HC struggle with clock management.
My theory is it's really f-in hard and we as fans are always critical of it because we're watching from our couch.
That and Demeco's clock management isn't what's losing this team games.

100% agree. I've always thought coaches should hire someone to do it because they're so consistently bad at it

Shocked I was the only one. I figured we would lose 3 in a row at some point but didn't think it would be the first 3. The rest of my pics are looking way too optimistic now.
While some are more complicated than others, good clock management requires the ability to simultaneously run a bunch of scenarios in your head and the associated math with each, in a matter of seconds, and then correctly identify the proper action. Not sure this can be taught. You either have the aptitude for it or you don't.
another issue for the Texans...
the AFC South drew the AFC North...and that was supposed to be semi-favorable...
but the Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, and Browns are all 2-1 -- decent teams so far

If you had an extra 30 seconds on the clock, you could reasonably get into Fairbairn's range.
I agree it's hard. Hire a nerd to sit in the booth and be in your ear with clock advice.
