**SNF in NRG Stadium Lions at Texans** (+3.5, 49.0) (1 Viewer)

[TartanLion]

Great stuff there have barely gone to Laporta this year so it wasn’t the expected play. Proved last year how good he can be, nice to have that option in our locker that we have barely had to use so far this season

you up at 2am watching this lol?

I’m about to fly back from Dubai filming golf, 5.20am start here watching in airport before an early flight !! ( but yes I do usually stay up for this when in UK anyway )

 

[Dez]

How many chances is Stroud going to get to throw a TD and come up empty JFC

 

[The Kerminator]

The Lions are a mess so far

 

[Mt. Man]

Can't even complete passes to ASRB >.<

 

[BobbyLayne]

give the Texans credit they came in with a great game plan defensively

He misses Nico + our OC is so predictable it makes it even harder on CJ.

Watch, we’re the worst 2nd half offense. We need points now as we generally never adjust at the half and have to hang on for dear life.

 

[Buckna]

Nice to see Vaki out there, even if it was just a big special teams tackle. Been holding him all year in a large bench dynasty league

 

[Jayded]

How good has the Texans D been? The Texans O has 12 rushes for 3 yards so far.

 

[TartanLion]

Yep. First team I’ve seen this season that is matching our intensity on D

 

[Buckna]

C'mon Slowik. Now you're giving it back to the Lions with 2 mins and 3 TO's

 

[Dez]

Idiot rankings

 

[Jayded]

C'mon Slowik. Now you're giving it back to the Lions with 2 mins and 3 TO's

Time to turtle. We have enough points, right? Right?

[BobbyLayne]

He has the highest PFF grade on ST for the Lions

Not likely to unseat Reynolds this year but he is woefully inexperienced - just needs more time on task, if you add up college & preseason this year he’s had less than 125 Offensive snaps

 

[BobbyLayne]

Texans came to play

 

[Buckna]

Heck of a punt

 

[Mt. Man]

2 minute drive: handoff (1 yard), handoff (1 yard), incomplete, punt.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Texans are playing bully ball - by far the more physical team so far

 

[Buckna]

Nice! Way to go Metchie

Edit: That's normally a Tank Dell route if Nico was in the lineup

 

[travdogg]

Nice to see Metchie. Really think he should be the WR3 for them, but for whatever reason they like Hutchinson's size.

ETA: Because that's what happens when he's a featured target...ask Bryce Young.

 

[loser]

Aaron Glenn getting owned

 

[Dez]

Picked up Metchie in 15 leagues last week he scored 0 I cut Metchie in 15 leagues this week

 

[IHEARTFF]

Metchie wow

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Wow, Mechie! What a drive by HOU

 

[Buckna]

Nice, I can't ***** about Slowik this time

 

[Mt. Man]

Welp. Too many shades of the Baltimore game from last year.
Guess we'll see what fight the Lions have in the 2nd half.

 

[Major]

So happy for Metchie. Best game as a Texan

 

[rockaction]

Branch’s effort was suspect there. Don’t want to take a personal foul, but you’ve got to do better than that in the end zone.

 

[travdogg]

Welp. Too many shades of the Baltimore game from last year.

They need to really get Amon-Ra going. If he's getting shut down, they aren't coming back, because the other guys are just ancillary types.

 

[Donnybrook]

I can't believe this is the same guy that completed 11 passes vs the Jets with the same wideouts.

 

[SoBeDad]

Stroud with a couple of excellent throws on that drive. Up there with Burrows as a passer.

 

[rockaction]

Nice to see Vaki out there, even if it was just a big special teams tackle. Been holding him all year in a large bench dynasty league

Same here. Probably not prudent anymore since Montgomery got extended. You’re basically hoping for an injury because he’s not going to beat out Gibbs and Monty.

 

[Mt. Man]

INT #3 for Goff. That tells you everything about this game so far.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Detroit with 114 yards of total offense

Goff 7/17 91 w/ 3 INT
ARSB 3 targets 2-22
team 23 yards rushing on 13 att

defense played OK until the last drive - stuffing the run, 2 sacks

the offense put the defense in too many bad situations & now the Texans get the ball first in the 2nd half

 

[rockaction]

I can't believe this is the same guy that completed 11 passes vs the Jets with the same wideouts.

The Jets are a rollercoaster of good to absolute suck.

 

[SoBeDad]

I can't believe this is the same guy that completed 11 passes vs the Jets with the same wideouts.

More pressure in the Jets game. Even so, he made 2 big-time throws on the run, a 30+ yarder to Woods and a 50 yarder to Dell.

 

[jon_mx]

Texans are hitting Goff, deflecting his passes, and keeping him under constant pressure. The Lions OL is getting beat and not even opening up run lanes. Lions are not getting much pressure on CJ and he is eating them alive.

 

[Man In The Box]

Lions look like the hopped in a time machine back to 2008. Guess they were due for a stinker.

 

[Major]

This is the most locked in the Texans have been all year and the kind of team I expected to see when the season started. Now just hoping they can turn the corner and carry some of that momentum to the 2nd half after the Lions inevitably make the necessary adjustments.

 

[Buckna]

Nice to see Vaki out there, even if it was just a big special teams tackle. Been holding him all year in a large bench dynasty league

Yeah, if it wasn't deep bench I wouldn't bother as the extension for Monty (although deserved) certainly hurt.

 

[Donnybrook]

I can't believe this is the same guy that completed 11 passes vs the Jets with the same wideouts.

More pressure in the Jets game. Even so, he made 2 big-time throws on the run, a 30+ yarder to Woods and a 50 yarder to Dell.

I got give Stroud credit for having a short memory.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Inter-conference night road games are hard af

 

[Dan Lambskin]

INT #3 for Goff. That tells you everything about this game so far.

It was a Hail Mary but the OL is getting abused.

 

[BobbyLayne]

The Texans have 151 yards, including 4 rushing.

That's hard to believe, but the Lions have smothered Mixon with 12 carries for 10 yards.

Stroud is 14 of 20 for 164 yards, 1 TD and a 111.2 rating.

Metchie stepped up with 4 catches, 65 yards and a 15 TD.

Dell has 4 for 30.

 

[The Kerminator]

Lions look like the hopped in a time machine back to 2008. Guess they were due for a stinker.

They talked plenty of crap after last weeks game. They were due a little humbling

 

[Man In The Box]

Well that’s an ideal start for Detroit

 

[travdogg]

Well that was an ugly throw

 

[BobbyLayne]

"Defense needs takeaways"

CD3 says bet

 

[Wingnut]

Campbell called it

 

[IHEARTFF]

Impressive pick

 

[SoBeDad]

On the TD drive, the Lions had a semblance of a running game. Gibbs for 6, 3, and 5 before the TD to LaPorta. They're getting pressure without Will Anderson and his 8 sacks.
