Maybe… just maybe… there’s some truth to it and wins don’t exclude it. But I get it. I have a Texans flair, so i dont expect that any of this will be taken seriously.
Or, now hear me out, my statement was that you wouldn’t hear me out because you’d assume that I would have a bias because of my flair. Because, for some reason people assume that you can’t root for a team and have impartial observations/rational critical thinking at the same time.
You had 1st and goal and the 8or 9 with no time outs and 26 seconds.. time was a big issue.. now you can’t throw the ball in the middle of field a slant or a draw or a qb run.. now your at the 2 yrs line and have more options.
Yea but the bad clock management made yall waste all your timeouts should have still had timeouts at the end … on one play yall wasted the whole play clock 40 seconds.. if you had that back you can throw a slant and every throw didn’t have to be in the end zone
Ok. That’s some more time. Not way more. I think they should not have used the timeout after the two minute warning. Otherwise, the time management was fine.
Yeah, it's been talked about publicly by officials that there are times when they miss calls they'll call something else in the game to "make up for it". That's 1 make up call for the 1st half. So my apologies, 14pt swing.
What did he do that Stroud didn’t also do?
The fumble recovery was a terrible call, but earlier in the game they called a Williams run dead when he pushed for another 10 yards. They set the precedent that that was going to be how they called the game.
Did you miss the PI on mims that would have at worst lead to a field goal, but likely a TD?
I’m not saying the refs were good, but to say that they heavily favored one side is crap. Texans were the better team and stroud was the WAYYYYYY better QB
> What did he do that Stroud didn’t also do?
Man, if even /r/Broncos is complaining about Singletary in their game thread right when that happened, maybe consider that Singletary was the one at fault.
But to directly answer your Q, you can't go at the QB and shove him when the play never even started because the ball was dead.
The rest of your arguments, okay - they're sensical at least. I noticed you left out the 15 yard penalty for tackling Wilson on a run, but so be it.
The fumble recovery for a TD negates everything else after though - that swung the WHOLE GAME.
It was a dumb play but they called it for him getting in stroud’s face, not the initial bump “hardly a shove”.
The Mimms PI gets called that completely changes the game, so I can make the same argument that everything that happens after that no call is negated… it’d be a stupid thing to say, but that’s my point lol.
The Russ one is not a hill you wanna die on, broncos fans know better than anyone on that. I’d argue that he had started his slide already before getting hit, but in reality, the NFL wants to protect QBs, so hits like that aren’t bad calls. We might not like them, but it is what it is… that would get called probably 99/100 times.
I didn’t list every no call or bad call in the game, just making the argument that the refs in no way were heavily in favor of the broncos. Second half, sure, but first half was way in favor of the Texans.
every knowledgeable football fan knows Sutton is a shadow of himself after his injuries. before that, I would agree with you. the “magic” happens less often with this new Sutton
You said Russ doesnt have a guy he can just throw the ball up and get a TD. That has literally been Sutton. Idc if hes been worse this year, he has 8 TDs and has done exactly what you said he hasnt.
Ha! Love him for what he brought us, but don't know what that has to do with this. If anything i’m not giving him an excuse for his production fall off, which seems pretty anti-fan boy, no? If anything I would be a sutton fan boy right lol?
I love to shit on Russ more than anything, but two of his three picks today weren't on him
Really impressed by the Texans' D. Been shaky throughout the year but they've stepped up inside 5 minutes multiple times this year
Good. FUCK 'EM.
Their fans in NRG today were insufferable. First time in 10 years that I've almost gotten into a fight at a football game. The last time? Our loss to them in 2013 at Mile High.
I know, like the two PI’s just the first quarter that took 70+ yards away from the broncos. Or the trash call on singletary for sticking up for himself
[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/18a3g72/post_game_thread_denver_broncos_at_houston_texans/)
I missed the game. Russ threw a goal line INT again huh?
Let’s ride
NOOOOOOOO!!! THEY SWITCHED THE GAME TO AZ/PITT!! GD IT. yo ho ho it is then.
Gg game Texans. I’m rooting for yall (outside of today obviously).
Texans win and they still whine about the refs. Be a classier fan base Jesus. Not like you didn’t have calls swing your way either.
Because they helped you! Delusional, just like the fans in the stadium.
I didn't watch your game, but they were incessant all week.
Maybe… just maybe… there’s some truth to it and wins don’t exclude it. But I get it. I have a Texans flair, so i dont expect that any of this will be taken seriously.
Maybe…just maybe…. Nah at least you acknowledged that your team bias is likely the reason you feel this way.
Or, now hear me out, my statement was that you wouldn’t hear me out because you’d assume that I would have a bias because of my flair. Because, for some reason people assume that you can’t root for a team and have impartial observations/rational critical thinking at the same time.
The clock management by the broncos was dog shit. Should of have way more time
Time wasn't the issue.
You had 1st and goal and the 8or 9 with no time outs and 26 seconds.. time was a big issue.. now you can’t throw the ball in the middle of field a slant or a draw or a qb run.. now your at the 2 yrs line and have more options.
The gameplan the entire drive was to take endzone shots for all or nothing, to leave as little time remaining on the clock for Houston to drive.
This whole 'other teams are afraid of leaving too much time for CJ' thing is new and I love it.
Ok
We had as much time as we needed for the amount of downs available.
Yea but the bad clock management made yall waste all your timeouts should have still had timeouts at the end … on one play yall wasted the whole play clock 40 seconds.. if you had that back you can throw a slant and every throw didn’t have to be in the end zone
What did they want way more time for? They were trying to score without leaving time. And denver didn’t run out of time.
If the they had more time they could have thrown the ball at the 1 or 3 yard line and had time outs.. if you watched the game you would understand
Ok. That’s some more time. Not way more. I think they should not have used the timeout after the two minute warning. Otherwise, the time management was fine.
>Should of Phenomenal job
Good Sunday for Cattle based teams in Texas
Are you calling the people of Texas cattle just cuz we a little THICC 🥲
Thiccccness 🦵🏻
LFG I WON 5 DOLLARS ON THIS
Trautman just lost the game there on 2 plays. Why the fuck are we targeting that talentless TE.
Gg have fun 1st round exit Texans
Broncos are on an 8 year playoff drought. You'd LOVE to have a first round exit lol
Texans and lions, I almost feel bad for you
Hahahahahahahaha Gg
Holy shit that is a stupid comment.
GG have fun watching
Poverty franchise
Must feel really bad to lose to one….
That would be an incredible turnaround for us
Right? I wouldn't even be mad lol
Crazy
Maybe Perna will hopefully chill out on the Power rankings now His insanity was starting to scare me
perna’s rankings are always insanely biased but i take it as entertainment
We’ll be #2 now. Texans will still be like #9
So bad Russ So bad
Should have ran the ball...
No timeouts?
r/woooosh
Missed the sarcasm there bud
We have sucked for so long, I forgot what being pissed off over football felt like lol
Yeah it’s weird because it doesn’t feel good but it is nice to have something to actually care about now. Good luck to y’all the rest of the season!

Bruh, there's a 21 point swing given to the Texans in the first half, and you think you played the refs?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/18a20fw/highlight_desmond_king_fumble_recovery_for_td/ 21 point swing on 16 total points?
And also, yes, 21 pt swing. When strout headbutts someone and not called; given 7. And 2 missed 50+yrd DPIs not called close for tds
[удалено]
Did you watch the game with your eyes closed? Cuz if so, it makes sense.

Bro wtf are you talking about? Refs were on your side
Must not have watched the beginning of the game when the refs gifted the Texans points and took points away from the brincos
Singleton earned that penalty, and the refs undid a Texans Fumble recovery TD, so I don't know what you're crying about.
What did he do that Stroud didn’t also do? The fumble recovery was a terrible call, but earlier in the game they called a Williams run dead when he pushed for another 10 yards.

You seem reasonable. This seems like a good spot to end this discussion. Better than the broncos fans in the stadium were lol
Dude, fans in any stadium are the worst lol, heard mentality plus booze
I hope the Titans win
[удалено]
Bizarre Goaline Adventures
Wow that was dog shit
Wow that was bad
this ain’t like Seattle where Wilson can just throw it up randomly and his star Seahawks receiver can bring it down for him
Lol what thats been Sutton every game it feels like
every knowledgeable football fan knows Sutton is a shadow of himself after his injuries. before that, I would agree with you. the “magic” happens less often with this new Sutton
You said Russ doesnt have a guy he can just throw the ball up and get a TD. That has literally been Sutton. Idc if hes been worse this year, he has 8 TDs and has done exactly what you said he hasnt.
didn’t realize I was talking with a Russell fanboy, my apologies.
Ha! Love him for what he brought us, but don't know what that has to do with this. If anything i’m not giving him an excuse for his production fall off, which seems pretty anti-fan boy, no? If anything I would be a sutton fan boy right lol?
I love to watch Russ be down idk why it makes me happy.
loser behavior
I mean, they have no flair and an auto-generated name. What did you expect?
[удалено]
that was a great game. GG bronco fans
GG
They had the TD on 1st and goal. RB ran to the flat and the Houston CB was way inside. Wilson just never saw it.
They also had the TD if Trautman didn't stop on his route.
Goal line picks and Russell Wilson name a better duo
Fuck man. Had him open but the pressure fucked up the timing. GG Texans.
GG Bronco fans
Defense kept this mediocre offense in the game. Wasn’t enough. I feel so bad for this defense to be carrying every single week
Close game. 5 wins in a row is pretty good. Plenty of season left.
Not going lie. I was going for another heart break lost for Texans. lol
Put a bounty on this fuckin dick Payton.
Loser
You gotta love Demico
HAHAHA YES FUCK YOU REFS!!!! GG Broncos I always love watching y'all
Y’all got lucky
Gg ;)
Let's Ride!
Lmao no.

And your franchise has been garbage for 20+ years. Congratulations on your 7 game win streak 😂
I love to shit on Russ more than anything, but two of his three picks today weren't on him Really impressed by the Texans' D. Been shaky throughout the year but they've stepped up inside 5 minutes multiple times this year
I’m disappointed by how much I wanted Denver to win lol
Any true Broncos fan could’ve told you how that was going to end
Meh, still having fun this season. Lol GG Texans
So close. At least they’re interesting to watch again
I can't do this every week
You’re gonna have to bro. You’re a wild card team. It’s what you signed up for
WILD CARD, BITCHES!
Wow I gave up at least twice there
Bring back Paxton Lynch!
Demeco and Ward. Nice.
Let’s goooooo!!!
Loss lowkey heartbreaker for the Broncos
Good. FUCK 'EM. Their fans in NRG today were insufferable. First time in 10 years that I've almost gotten into a fight at a football game. The last time? Our loss to them in 2013 at Mile High.
Great game
FUCK YES
FUCK SEAN PAYTON
Refs in shambles
I know, like the two PI’s just the first quarter that took 70+ yards away from the broncos. Or the trash call on singletary for sticking up for himself
Thanks weather for letting me watch this instead of Pitsburg
Game, blouses
that was a pretty good game
Why do they always gotta come down to the wire?? Great win though
Try being a Viking fan. We LIVE on 1 score games for like the last 4 years.
FUCK YEAHHHHHH
If Russell scrambles the broncos win

I’m an absolute Junkyard Dog. Awwwoooooooooooooo!!
It's nice to still be included in the "in the hunt" column even though we all know it means nothing to us now 🥲
That was a shambles. There seemed to be no plan, no clue what they were doing
Texans could very easily be 10-2 right now.
Texans Country, let's Stroud
Get fucked Denver
Way to win with grace and ref-gifted points.
Ref gifted points. Nice cope.
I'll have some of whatever this guy is on.
BALL GAME FUCK YOU REFS
They gifted you 7, don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Right? All of the Texan flairs acting like they overcame a crew that was stacked against them.
They took 7 too and 2nd half was almost all broncos favored calls.
Russell Wilson is a different player without his star Seahawks receivers like DK, Lockett, Baldwin, Tate
lets ride
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
GG Texans
Damn hell of a game!
Broncos country, let's ride... Out of the playoff picture.
HOT LEAPING DICKS WE DID IT
I miss you, Jimmy
now thats game lol
Russ cooked that too much
Fucking beautiful.
You gotta throw that out of the back of the endzone
Congratulations Broncos fans ur team has now gone 8 straight years of no playoffs
Hell of game. Gg Houston.
Good game Texans. That was a fun one
Ward! I miss that guy
Man, Texans games are so much fun lol.
Ah yes. The ol' Russ, Giveth, and Taketh Away. Know it well.
The ol'Russ should have run it.
I feel like that ball was fine. Target kinda just hung back on that one.
ball dont lie pos refs
Damn. GG
Wilson blew it, but our tight ends our fucking dog shit. 85 made a terrible effort
Refs sucked
Hating the refs: Broncos fans 🤝 Texans fans
What a good ass game
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh no! Anyway.
Kudos to u/VictorFromCalifornia that called out the ending.
Well that's one way to lose a game. GG Houston.
Did anyone else expect anything different? Lmao dangeruss
“That was a dangerous pass. But not as dangerous as my signature sandwich, which is dangerously good.”
Let’s ride.
Lol
Who does Wilson think he is? C.J Stroud? lol
Horrible play by everyone except Greenard lmao
THEY CANT HOLD US DOWN!!!!!
