Bill O'Brien be like, "Guys, you can let up now."

This is fun

Pitre playing out of his damn mind.

Damn, is Houston looking to drop half a hundred today? Pitre with the pick

Ravens defense was the slumpbuster we needed

Was driving back from College Station and missed most of this game- great break out game- we put it on Baltimore - feels good

Really like how the Texans are playing last couple of weeks. Colts might be tough to catch…their offense is clicking right now, and they have an easier schedule (no Bills). There's going to be at least one new team in the AFC championship game, might be them.

Texans get them 2 times, so who knows. Long season ahead still. Might go down to last game of season….against Colts.

BTW , it's crazy, but a case could be made that the AFC South is the 2nd strongest division in the AFC this year.

A few people picked up a bingo square for the 40+ offensive output. I never thought I'd live long enough to see us hang 40 on the Ravens. Reminds me of that time Arian Foster ran all over the Colts to open the season.

I was stunned how good JJ Watt was as the color commentator. I didn't realize it was him until they showed him in the booth.

Will update the Bingo later tonight in full.

The Titans were helpful too.

Stroud needed this game. Great to see him capitalize on it.

Texans with the #3 overall point differential in the NFL right now.

I'm already deep into the "what-ifs" of wishing we had pulled out at least one of those first 3 that were all right there for the taking

the Colts' (4-1) schedule will get tougher...

but it stays soft for the rest of the month:

Cardinals
at Chargers
Titans

The Texans Pressure Rate allowed since the return of Ed Ingram and Tytus Howard at RT (@NextGenStats):

Week 2 - 36.7% QBP
Week 3 - 32.6% QBP
Week 4 - 28.1% QBP
Week 5 - 30% QBP

Average of 31.9% Pressure Rate over 4 games which would have ranked 12th best coming into this… pic.twitter.com/p45G4A4LPu

That's interesting, kind of lines up with what some of have notice that CJ seemed to missing things a little more than he should. Hopefully these last 2 games will help him trust things a little more and not have the yips.

Not to be that guy but is it really the return of the offensive linemen or playing some really bad defensive fronts?

That's the million dollar question and will be fascinating to watch over the next month.

Texans Bingo Update
Spreadsheet

Big ups to
wessimo
dbryanc87
B-Rabbit
n_touch

for all nabbing a Bingo square yesterday with the 40+ point offensive performance.

There is now a 6-way tie for first at 3 squares each between myself, jackal99, WES2006AG, B-Rabbit, AlwaysNextYear89, and Snake Jazz.

A look at the paces

TEXANS
Win pace up to 7 (O/U 9.5)
Stroud up to 3,658 yard pace (4,000 square)
Nico 75 receptions, 1,061 yards - squares are 75 and 1,100
Nico on pace for 10 TD catches, square i 8
Schultz now way above his squares of 56 catches and 575 yards at 71 and 632.
3 INTs gets the team to a pace of 17; square is 19.

Other Win totals:
Cowboys on pace for 7, OU is 7.5
Colts on pace for 14, OU is 7.5
Titans got their first win, on pace for 4 - OU is 6.5

Gig'em Ags
Mike Evans didn't play. Myles didn't have a sack.

Achane is up to a 891 yards rushing, 14 total TD pace. His squares are 891 and 12.

If you picked Von Miller for a 5-sack season, you can probably start popping the champagne early. Von has been reborn in the Redskins' scheme. he has 3 sacks through 5 games. He only needs 5 total for the square. 3 people picked that square.

Individual Matchups

QB:
Baker Mayfield took the lead from Goff in passing yards with 1,238-1,187.
Goff has the TD pass lead with 12; Mayfield at 10, the injured Lamar Jackson at 10.

RB:
With Bijan getting the week off, Ashton Jeanty now the leader with 349 rushing yard. I have no idea how Derrick Henry didn't get 45 carries vs. the Texans yesterday, and ditto Saquon with the Phillies up 17-3 on Denver. Henry's pace is down to 1,078 and Barkley's to 908.
James Cook still the TD leader for running backs at 5.

WR:
Chase and Jefferson both went off yesterday. Jefferson is up to 449 yards (pace for 1,527) and Chase to 384 (pace of 1,306).

Thanks for playing!

My bad. I wasn't able to watch the second half because the lock broke on my front door. Will update this afternoon.

He got drunk at while at a casino in Mexico and lost his keys on the Megabus he took home. Had to kick in the door.

It's pretty boring.

I had gone to pick up my kids and we got back and the key wouldn't turn in the front door lock at all. The garage was dead bolted from the inside, so that wasn't an option. Called the townhouse 24/7 hotline every hour on the hour from 2 until about 8 last night with no response, so I called a lockmith who came and ripped it out for me. Put in a new lock. I went to the leasing office today with the invoice and all my messages to the hotline. Turns out the emergency maintenance guy had been doing some carousing the day before and didn't show up to work and didn't bother calling in sick, so all my messages never even got seen.
Got a reimbursed for the locksmith and a $200 credit on my November rent.

Jax is scary

Yeah the Jags L hurts.

That entire drive went from dumpster fire to absolutely elite play.

Hell the TD play was both.

3 playoff teams from the AFC South? Nobody can bash on this division anymore I guess

somehow the Jaguars are 4-1

Texans picked the wrong year to start slow

Updated the Bingo cards with the FG that I missed earlier.

Snake Jazz and WES2006AG are the new co-leaders with 4 squares each.

The Jags now on pace to go 14-3, just like you thought never.

Everyone who picked the Ravens' as their best-record in the AFC tie-breaker with a 13-4 record are ready for that miracle to start

That son b**** Trevor Lawrence pulled it off

Just 2 games behind and we still get them at home. I would rather KC lose so they don't get home games in playoffs.

The Chiefs have a pretty legit schedule of tough games coming up - home for Detroit next week, then a couple of throwaways with the Raiders and Redskins, then a stretch of @ Buffalo, Bye, @ Denver, home for Indy, @ Dallas, home for the TExans, home for the Chargers.

I never would have guessed that we would have 3 losses after week 5 from the Jags, Bucs, and Rams....and that the Rams would have the worst record of the 3 at 3-2, of the 3 the Jags would be the biggest point differential in a win at 7 points, and that those 3 are 11-4 combined,

Really kind of crazy how the NFL has started off this year.

The Jags have the #1 rated offensive line. The past two years they were bottom 5. I think they might be legit.

Game on the line at the goal line and a not particularly mobile quarterback falls on his ass and still is able to get up and punch it in while his line is pancaking dudes left and right against the defending AFC champs? Yeah, that offensive line is legit.
