Browns @ Texans Game Thread 4:30pm

[Bangarang]

Panthers fans probably having a great time watching this game right now.

I mean why not keep going deep until they can prove they can stop it.  At worst it backs up the D, and puts them on their heels.

QB always gets the advantage

I know but Stroud missed 2 games. Puka never missed a down.

Always loved Singletary’s moves, he just can’t get out of 3rd gear.

There is no way on this planet the Texans OC isn’t a head coach in a couple weeks

And he’s going to be disappoint some team because they won’t have a qb as good as Stroud. 
 

Hes as good as any rookie qb I can remember (didn’t see Marino).

Hadn’t considered the comparison previously … but give it a couple of years …

He'll have a more interesting year next season against a 1st place division record.

I don't know.  They had 3rd and 19.  They aren't likely to convert and then you give ball back to a white hot Houston offense with 35 seconds.  Get to the locker room and make some adjustments.  Don't make things worse at that moment.

Expand  

That Houston Offense is getting the ball back. Now if they score a TD they're up 17 & the season is over. Got to take your shots when you can. Conservative coaching calls go home. Better to go down swinging.

Wonder who gets rookie of the year: Stroud or Puka?

Expand  

Sucks for Puka who was great. But the qb who completely transformed a franchise gets it every time.

Big down here

[Aussie Joe]

***** third down play there 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Browns must keep this within a score. I don’t think they’re built to drop back and win from within the pocket with no threat to run 

[TAinLack.]

Texans playing very well, Cleveland has got to get pressure on Stroud who is playing an outstanding game.

I have yet to see him make a difficult throw. Granted I haven’t watched the Texans this year but so far his receivers are wide open. The real test of a Qb comes with fitting the ball into tight windows in a consistent manner. Let’s not anoint   CJ as the next Brady just yet.

Even when they call a penalty on the Texans they find one on the Browns to negate it.

 

EDIT: Maybe not...for now.

The O Line is really helping Stroud to have an outstanding game.

I have a legit question as I have never watched the Browns play- but our their corners just bad? I feel like I. The first half I was watching 1 of them and everything near him he seemed to want to avoid contact

Stroud is good but so far he has mostly comfortable pockets and his scoring production is off busted play deep balls.  Lets see what happens when he is uncomfortable and has to march the field without those busted bombs.  That will happen to him eventually.

Credit to the scheme for keeping 95 and company off of him

@Roundybout said earlier both corners are carrying injuries.

Texans game plan is actually smart- roll him out and hit plays underneath - looks perfect because of how aggressive the browns seem to be
