We have 8 days to figure this out

Like many of you, I’m also disgusted by the product we put on the field last night. Mostly because of the offense but the defense had its troubles as well. Anyway, in the next 8 days before we play Detroit, the Texans have the chance to enact real and meaningful change on the offense. Yes, getting Nico back will help- but he is not enough to cover everything. With the extra time off, they need to be hyper-critical, hyper-analytical, and hyper-focused on the issues need to be fixed.

I don’t care if that means coaching changes, player changes, trades, scheme change, it doesn’t matter. But this mini bye needs to be used properly or they are going to get absolutely embarrassed in the second half of the season. They can’t let CJ keep taking these hits and not giving him time to find open guys. Or if that’s not a reasonable thing to fix via offensive line adjustment, then change to more quick game to avoid it. Either way, how this week is handled will determine the rest of the season.

It’s not time to panic yet, but if they come out and lay an egg against a very good Detroit team, it’s doomed. Let’s pray they use this week wisely.
