Bill O'Brien also went to the playoffs and won. That's not much of a standard and at this point the bar is higher than that.

My point is this team is a mess all while the HC, coaching staff, and players are all different since the Culley/Lovie era. Yet not much has changed on the field.

The one common denominator is Nick Caserio.

TEXANS BINGO UPDATE 9-22-25
Updated standings

Way too many optimists out there, fellas. Only myself and WES2006AG picked the 3+ losing streak square, and were thus rewarded 3 weeks into the season.

Of course very single one of us picked them make the playoffs, and I'm the only one who didn't pick >9.5 wins. Things need to really turn around.

Here are your weekly stat categories minus Ravens/Lions tonight.

All Things Texans:
Wins (O/U 9.5) Current 0, Pace 0
Stroud >4,000 passing yards: Current 599, Pace 3,394
Nico 80 receptions; Current 14, Pace 79
Nico 1,100 yards receiving: Current 181, Pace 1,026
Nico 8 TD receptions: Current 2, Pace 11
Schultz 56 REC: Current 11, pace 62
Schultz 575 REC yards: Current 96, Pace 544
Kirk 55 REC: Current 3, Pace 17
19 Team INT: Current 1, Pace 6
14 Def Fumble Recoveries: Current 1, Pace 6

Other Win Totals
Cowboys 7.5 - Current 1, pace 6
Jags 7.5 - Current 2, pace 11
Colts 7.5 - Current 3, pace 17
Titans 6.5 - Current 0, Pace 0

Achane 12 total TDs: Current 12, pace 11
Von 5 sacks: Current 1.5, pace 9
Myles 14 sacks: Current 4, pace 23

Will update the indy stat comps tomorrow as most of the ones have a Lion or Raven in it.
In the receivers head to head, Chase leads Jefferson 241-200 after 3 games.

I wouldn't go that drastic. The defense is currently one of the best in the league... Offense is putrid and kills any momentum.

Demeco has been to the playoffs twice and won each time. It's not the best, but it's a long way from that Culley and Lovie season.

except when they need a stop at the end of the game. Letting Lawrence and Baker off the hook on 3rd and long two weeks in a row is inexcusable for an "elite" defense.

I fault Caserio for not flat out telling Demeco "yeah, we are not doing that again".


Yall need to wake up!!

Caley was just as much a Caserio hire as it was a Demeco hire. He's a NE Patriot guy who was there during Caserio's tenure.

He runs that NE offense that only works with the best QB to ever throw a football.

Everything is the problem with this team. The GM, the HC, the coaching staff, and the players. There is not one thing with this organization that is worth keeping the status quo.


This is spot on. So many Caserio and Caley connections, not to mention retaining this OL coach. No way that is coincidence.

Caserio must go.

Caley was not Demeco's hire, definitely Caserios.

They both told us (fans) to stop worrying about the O Line. That is on both of them.
Texan_Aggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Texans have given up the 6th least amount of points on defense. I can't fault the defense much when they carry the load and are constantly on the field because the offense can't convert a 3rd down.
Texan_Aggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What I'm hearing is Demeco did not want to hire Caley, but Caserio pushed it on him and convinced Cal not to offer the money to Chip Kelly.

Demeco and CJ are also butting heads.

Starting to sound like Deshaun and BoB all over again.

I would say it's Cal

Ah...But it's not.

Nowadays Hannah is VERY involved with Cal being mostly the mouthpiece and face of ownership.

Texans Reddit has the OL PFF scores for pass pro. Unsurprisingly LG and LT were our most egregious turnstiles. Tomlinson somehow was graded worse than Ersery.

Ersery - 35.3
(61st out of 70 in OTs)

Tomlinson - 24.0 (that may be one of the worst scores I've seen for a Guard)
(66th out of 71 Guards)

Andrews - 70.4 (6th out of 35 Centers)
Ingram - 50.9 (46th out of 71)
Howard - 68.2 (25th out of 70)

60 is a league average score.



Interesting, the Reddit post didn't have the correct scores, but it looks like Ingram and Howard are the only 2 serviceable OL so far

And here are the final defensive grades, just for reference

Buck Compton

CJ hasn't done enough to be butting heads with anyone. It's the curse of when the first year goes well, you think it'll be easy.

Everyone knows the OL is trash, but damn it feels like CJ hasn't practiced since year 1, that's how bad his regression is. There's no way CJ is putting in the work on or off the field and still looks like this. Hes not working on mechanics, or spending extra time in the film room to get right.

In the end, that's on both Caserio and Ryans for not leading CJ better, but dude is lost out there.

No disrespect, but anyone faulting the defense needs to watch more football. No defense in the world can be on the field as much as these guys are with zero long drives in between and play mistake free, especially after losing Stingley and another member of the secondary.

Like I said last week, even if the Texans had the 20th best offense right now, they could easily be 2-1/3-0. Instead they are dead last in the league in points (12.7) and fourth to last in yards, ahead of no-QB Cincy, rookie QB Tennessee, and Old Man Rodgers in Pittsburgh.

Rams scored 14 against Houston, and then 33 against the titans and 26 against a 3-0 Eagles

Bucs scored 20 against Houston, 23 against falcons, 29 against Jets

Jags scored 17 against Houston, 27 against Bengals, and 26 against panthers


the defense has held all 3 teams they have played to season lows. They are not the problem.

you cannot expect a defense to hold a team to a single score every game..it just wont happen

the offense has been craptacular and are the sole reason for the 0-3 start

This offense may be historically bad. Only so much the D can do with that.

Way too many optimists out there, fellas. Only myself and WES2006AG picked the 3+ losing streak square, and were thus rewarded 3 weeks into the season.



I also picked us to have a 4 game win streak which seems pretty much impossible at this point.

Maybe 1 win a year for 4 years?
I though that was a good strategy though. A couple of people did that in Astros Bingo. We went the whole year without getting the 8 game win streak, but the 6 game losing streak is looking very possible.

Watching these two offenses

Elite OLine play
Good TEs
Elite WRs
Smart timely play calling

And these two QBs going thru their progressions, making tight accurate throws


Damn man

The Texans offense is like a Double A baseball team next to these two.

what's frustrating...

the Lions have 2 new starters on their o-line --- 2 very green guards

2nd round pick and 6th round pick

but they haven't missed a beat

Dan Campbell is such a good coach.

I'd love for him to coach a team I rooted for.

There's never any doubt who runs that team. They play with such high energy and discipline.

It's almost like they have a qb that has pocket presence.

Realized this team is a dumpster fire, and will probably get picked up by a contender.

I'd take Kenyon Green back at this point
