Misery Index · Despair
Texans fans are ready to fire Caley, mourn a wasted defense, and pencil in 0-3 all in one breath.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
Six points at home against a J.Burrow-J.Chase offense that hung 20 without breaking a sweat — the 32-yard Chase touchdown in the second quarter was effectively the ballgame. C.Stroud's 35-yard strike to D.Schultz on the opening drive hinted at something that never materialized, and K.Fairbairn shanking a 58-yarder only twisted the knife. A defense this good deserves better than punts down two scores in the fourth, and the fanbase knows exactly who to blame.

“WHEN YOUR QB HAS OVER 350 PASSING YARDS... YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 4 TDS WHAT THE FUCK”

“Demeco man, what the fuck did I just watch? Ignoring the awful playcalls from Caley, punting on 4th down down two scores in the 4th quarter is the most cowardly thing you've done.”

“This Patriots/John Carroll obsession needs to fucking stop.”

GIFOffense played like shit, penalties all over both sides of the ball, and we still beat the Houston Texans 20-6. This defense is for real. 2-0 #GetOutTheWay #WhoDey

Trent Brown is a liability to this offense.
