I don’t think DeMeco is the biggest issue with this team. At this point, it’s a combination of poor personnel decisions, questionable coaching hires, and a lack of accountability. Too many decisions seem to be influenced by familiarity and connections rather than results.

If we’re pointing fingers, Nick Caserio deserves just as much scrutiny, if not more. We’re six seasons into his tenure and still dealing with the same offensive line problems. How many times are we going to rebuild that unit before questioning the person assembling it?

Look at Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith. A combined $36 million in contracts for two veterans who were expected to start but ended up losing their jobs. Nothing against either player, but what was the plan? That’s a significant investment in expensive depth while the offensive line continues to struggle.
Then there’s Reed Blankenship. We don’t know whether Caserio or DeMeco pushed for that acquisition, but it’s another significant investment that deserves scrutiny. These decisions are presumably collaborative, but ultimately Caserio is responsible for constructing the roster.

On the coaching side, Caley looks completely in over his head, and Popovich hasn’t demonstrated he can consistently get the most out of the offensive line. At some point, you have to question both the talent evaluation and the coaching.

The lack of discipline is equally concerning. 58 penalties for 508 yards through seven games, 29 missed tackles against the Giants, and four losses on the final possession. That’s not just bad luck. That’s poor preparation, execution, and accountability.
DeMeco isn’t blameless. He’s responsible for his staff, the team’s discipline, and getting the most out of his players. His reluctance to make coaching changes deserves criticism. But we’re also talking about someone who took this franchise to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons. One disappointing year shouldn’t erase that.

Caserio needs to answer for the personnel decisions, and DeMeco needs to hold his coaching staff accountable. I’d rather see this organization address those issues before throwing away a head coach who’s already proven he can win. In my opinion, DeMeco is far from the problem. He’s built a competitive team with the personnel he’s been given, established a winning culture, and brought consistent playoff football back to Houston. His track record speaks for itself.

I understand the frustration because I’m frustrated too, but some of these fair-weather fans need to take a deep breath and relax. Calling for his job after one disappointing season is ridiculous. We’ve finally found a head coach worth building around, and I genuinely believe firing DeMeco would be a mistake that haunts this franchise for years to come.

On the game tying TD, Stroud knew instantly he had to get the fuck outta there. No wonder he felt a little off/rushed all afternoon. This OL just gets lazy as hell especially as the game is winding down. Bills game being the perfect example. At least this time, CJ made shit happen.

- 35 Plus years of Misery

- 3 - 4 Home Games a year for the last 15 years

- Season Ticket Holder 2022 - 2024 (gave them up when I received a survey about the ease of access for playoff tickets... not kidding).

- Hopium April - August

- Anger has turned to Apathy

I was in Houston for the game on Sunday, f the Giants... beautiful stadium, incredibly gracious people.

Maybe it’s just me not being a real ball knower, but the falloff is so hard to grasp. It would be one thing to go from awesome to mid, but this is much worse.

We have the same coaching staff, almost the same roster. Was it really the couple of injuries we had at LB? Are we being outcoached? Is our scheme too simple or inefficient? Was this overconfidence? Lack of discipline? All of the above?

I’d like to hear everyone’s theories, regardless if they are your own or you heard them anywhere else.

Got my Keylan Rutledge Jersey in yesterday.. he wears my old highschool number so I thought heck yeah.. now I'm kinda having doubts but Jersey is Clean though! 🤘🏻

He is looking at me like he’s questioning why we are Texans fans.

Here’s a look at the current roster, practice squad, IR, and depth chart heading into the bye week!

Might be true but it's not really saying much 🤣 Dude really went for trip after he got cooked by Reader lmao. Rutledge has been ass

Thoughts?

Open field for MHJ if CJ had a split second longer to hit his target. 32 year old journeyman DJ Reader isn't even known to be a quick DL. I've never seen a player actually get a 0.0 pass block grade before either lmao. People talking about drop rates when this is the bullshit oline pulls every game.. please be real.

Maybe a perfect microcosm for our 25th anniversary

After yesterday's game and our record dropping to 2-5, the fanbase seems completely divided—or at least that's how it feels. Some fans want C.J. out of here, others want DeMeco fired, and some are pointing fingers at the OC or the GM. Meanwhile, a few even want to tear everything down and start fresh. In which of these scenarios would you, as a fan, be the most unhappy?

A. C.J. gets a big extension
B. C.J. wants out
C. Caley gets fired
D. Caley stays
E. DeMeco gets an extension
F. DeMeco gets fired
G. Caserio stays
H. Caserio gets fired

We hardly ever see our teams win in the same weekend… The football gods hate us.

This oline is so fucking dogshit it's unbelievable. Undisciplined, low-effort garbage. How is it the same bullshit year after year. Fuck this team.

Marv seamed to do well on his limited snaps and receiver rotation as well for his second game. his first reception was a td. His 2nd trgt was overthrown and so was his third. My question is how would he fit into WR room. There is a stacked room and I see a wr getting traded as well. He played 13 snaps ang got targeted on 4 of them. One was a td, 2 overthrown, and then one fuck it pass by cj stroud that almost gave me a heart attack. I think marv should get more snaps and be a wr2, with collins and noel.

Would the Texans really benefit from another year of his coaching ?

Please don't give me the bullshit excuses. This is pure coaching incompetence

Nick’s quote

I saw several comments post game alluding to CJ and Nick having either multiple in-game heated exchanges or a heated exchange immediately after overtime. All the cameras panned to New York Giants players celebrating so I wasn’t sure if anyone can confirm this actually happened?
