Misery Index · Despair
Texans fans have stopped arguing about C.Stroud and started a Nick Caley firing fund after failing twice from the 1.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Three points. That's the margin, and it's the kind of margin where every red zone trip replays itself in a fan's head at 2 a.m. C.Stroud's 47-yard strike to D.Schultz down to the DEN 12 should have been the dagger; instead it became Exhibit A in the offense's stalled-at-the-doorstep portfolio. Then B.Nix carved up the defense on the final drive — a 13-yard dart to P.Bryant, a 25-yard scramble — to set up W.Lutz with three seconds left. The play-calling discourse won't quiet down anytime soon.
What fans said
“Failing to convert at the 1 in the end zone is a fireable offense. Nick Caley needs to be gone.”
