No One’s Talking About Why The Texans ACTUALLY Lost

Taking a Quick Look into how bad the Texans special teams were in the game against the Chiefs

[zkeletonz]

Both games yesterday reminded me of the way The Patriots used to win a lot of their games. Play solid, don't make mistakes, and let the other team beat themselves.

Thanks to the atrocious job by the refs, I’ve seen so many people completely ignore how the Chiefs were able to destroy the Texans’ offensive line when it came to sacking the QB and their special teams being able to put pressure on the kicker, plus some questionable decisions by the Texans leading them to shoot themselves in the foot a bit.
Almost everyone seems to ignore those things in favor of blaming bad officiating. It’s kind of refreshing finally hearing someone say that the penalties weren’t the sole reason they won the game, so thank you.

Houston O-line was the problem yesterday.

[squaremilepvd]

Ah someone who is rational talking about the Chiefs, very refreshing

[TheQuietGeneration]

The first reasonable analysis I heard. Poor decisions. Poor execution. Outcoached. Chiefs deserved the win.

[humantwist-offcap]

Unprepared 4th and 10, 8 sacks, blocked FGs… brutal refs man, they’re getting bolder

[Moose-BB]

I knew this game was over after the first play when the chiefs took it back real far then the Texans guy shoved there coach. Not something you want on your sideline.

[trudyisaacs]

You forgot to mention the offensive line allowing the quarterback to be sacked repeatedly. What was it, 8 times? The coach and offensive coordinator did a lousy job calling plays, and the players did a lousy job executing. Across the board.

And thank you for mentioning the safety. Most fans don't understand why the Chiefs handled it that way.

[mojomogul]

Perfect analysis. Yes, those 2 penalties were bs. But it was these hidden special teams mistakes that cost them crucial field position.

KC invested in DST in the off season and it shows. They've been doing this all season. D, ST. 2 coaches.

[ZayyWithTheKs]

That hit Will Anderson handed out was very soft. Its insane they flagged that smh

*Your honor I object!*

_On what grounds?_

*Because it’s devastating to my case!*

[TheJCinator]

Special teams were awful, OLine fell apart, and play calling had sum huge holes.

Even then, the bad officiating was frustrating because they came at potential momentum swing moments for Texans, who proved last week that they can flip a switch and win games off one play. It just sucks that refs are even a factor but that’s the way it goes

[danc]

Youre not gonna talk about the mahomes flop on the sideline or his slide that got a 15 yard penalty? That game sucked to watch. The game after they had more points in the first quarter lol

[willrb]

Schultz had the worst game blocking ive ever seen

[petegregory]

As a (former fan, late '50's - 2000) I know why and have known for years....Las Vegas.

[Wheres-Wolfie]

We lost no excuses... We need O-line help offense speed positions a new kicker and nickel cb depth. Cherrs

[stormageddon]

Arrowhead beat the Texans as much as the Chiefs did. That place is a nightmare for a visitor this time of year. Unless you play there all the time the wind this time of year is impossible to understand, it's cold and LOUD. A warm weather dome team like the Texans were f**ked from the start. Same with the Eagles over LA. The snow beat LA.

[karencarman]

The refs had no right to make the calls they made and nothing can change that.

[sebaufiend]

So going by your last frame, you don't want chiefs fans to subscribe?

[markeldridge]

Any o line is in trouble when your behind and forced to throw the ball...I agree you got to play better than the other team and over come bad calls but boy they quick to throw a flag i counted 9 bad calls and it didn't seem to be balanced each way for both teams we all now there the better team
