Can’t sleep thinking about the loss…

Are we cooked chat? I’ve been drinking the koolaid all offseason, but it really hit me how far we’ve come in the last couple of years. I feel like every year we get better (at least since 2020), but f**k dude I was more optimistic about our talent last year.

• while I’m proud of his development to get there, Hutchinson getting as many snaps as he did on offense is concerning. It’s hard enough winning with our O-line, let alone when guys struggle to get separation. I understand that injuries were the curse last year, but at least whenever everybody was healthy you had Collins, Diggs, and Dell as a lethal combo. Now Collins is back to having no help because teams are not scared (yet) of Higgins or Hutchinson. How is this an improvement??? I’ve been so bought in to the idea of Kirk, the Iowa State guys, and Stover changing this pass offense from the bottom up, maybe I’m the idiot for believing it

• I like Ersery, but everybody else’s ceiling feels like average play on the O-line. Nobody is turning into an All-Pro anytime soon. I have defended the Tunsil trade since hour 1, but I’m tired. Penalties or not at least we wasn’t getting absolutely roasted by Jared Verse for 60 minutes. And even then I’m starting to doubt if he was really the problem like we were led to believe, which brings me to…

-the fucking penalties. For going on 3 years now, we have been told by the Texans staff that the penalties are a problem and that they need to get addressed. We are still waiting. The first year I gave them a pass because everybody was new. Last year I let it go because we supposedly fired/traded the people responsible for our lack of discipline. What’s the excuse this time? Which leads to my final point

-When do we start blaming DeMeco? Now I’m by no means saying pull out the pitchforks. But when IS the time to? There is ZERO doubt that DeMeco is a world class defensive coach (and an incredible man), but we seem to have already reached our ceiling with there that alone can take us. We’ve had a top 10 D basically since he walked in the door, but if we are never able to pair that with a consistent offense is it worth it?

Okay anyway I’m gonna try to go back to sleep. Please don’t flame me too hard in the mourning if this turns out to be an incoherent mess, in my defense I’m very intoxicated. Okay good night, H’s Up
