I understand the offensive issues, Stroud has been elevating an otherwise unspectacular group and a very poor OC. No excuse for this defensive performance.
I doubt the Texans would win this game even with competent coaching. Just too many key players hurt on both O and D. That said, the coaching (HC, OC and DC) has been abysmal today. Poor gameplan and no in-game adjustments. The shine may be starting to wear off DeMeco a little. But the biggest coaching issue all season long has been Slowik. And the biggest overall issue with this team is just lack of quality depth at multiple positions. These are fixable issues after the season.
Like missing your 2 leading DE your DT your starting Safety .. your starting CB for half the game .. your Star LB … etc etc
Brutal game. Texans are a fringe team WITH Stroud. Subtract him and add sub-fringe QBs -- the offense can't gain yards and the defense plays 40 minutes.
Weak. Every NFL team has injuries. Franchise is in trouble if it has a bunch of softies/injury prone players.
I turned it off. Not gonna torture myself for Christmas. Hopefully we get a Christmas miracle and the Jags and Colts both lose.
