Wait! They're not the Oilers? Gameday Thread Lions at Texans 11/10/24

[dsred]

Too cute for school O and no pass rush because we don't need no Z = early Houston TD.

Time to wake up and smack Houston in the mouth.

[Lionsfan123]

Eh. It's early, but I'm not liking the vibe right now.

Need to answer

You can tell the vibe is off tonight so far

[dsred]

Almost picked again.

[chemiclord]

They've had games where the vibe started off wrong, but they got into the zone quickly enough.

Again, I don't like them leading off with their offense, as odd as that sounds, because they always seem to sputter when they come out right off the bat.

[The Ken]

Int avoided somehow and a false start

I feel like the 2nd quarter just needs to start

[The Ken]

And fox has issues.


2nd Quarter where are you at?

[Lionsfan123]

Texans defense is here to play as I expected. They have a lot of energy. Wouldn’t be surprised if we’re down 14-0

[CGVT]

Texans riding the mojo right now. They are controlling the game

[Cody_Russell]

Yes, Mike Tirico. Very reminiscent start as Lions at Vikings. Need to change the momentum real quick. Texans have dominated the opening three possessions.

Anything outside of 0-14 is a win on this next possession IMO.

[Lionsfan123]

And fox has issues.


2nd Quarter where are you at?

Yep if there was a game the Lions lose this would be it. Not liking the energy coming from them tonight. They aren’t playing up to their talent level. Texans are dominating right now

[chemiclord]

The Lions have shown these slow starts before, and sometimes all it takes is one big play, either on offense or defense, and the engine roars.

They need that again. They're shutting down Mixon, but that 3rd down defense needs to step up badly. They had the Texans dead to rights twice, and gave up easy conversions on 3rd and 10+. Can't continue to happen.

Skipper getting roasted at LT. Need to get run game going.

[chemiclord]

I dunno, maybe the Lions are putting too much focus on stopping the run, because the Texans receivers are getting tons of cushion.

[Lionsfan123]

Skipper getting roasted at LT. Need to get run game going.

Yep he’s getting toast plus we have no pass rush again and against this Swiss cheese OL it’s embarrassing

[CGVT]

Stroud looks like last year's Stroud. He's getting comfortable

Need to get some pressure
