Texans vs Chiefs & Commanders vs Lions | Instant Reaction

Jared Wayne is the Texans player that took out Tank Dells knee...

The fact that people knew it was going to be EXTREMELY tough for the Texans to punch up to a 2x defending champion team at home and are now upset that the officiating is the reason they lost??? It was a 2 score game… even after they gifted them a safety at the end lol

The Texans didn't lose because of the refs. They lost because they took 8 sacks, missed 3 kicks, left Kelce wide open, and were routinely trying to jersey-swap Chiefs players without their consent

Who is rigging the games for the chiefs again? The NFL? So Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones are cool with the chiefs wining? Clowns.

I don't think you can say the hit it the head is linked to the interceptions. He has 8 career games with more than 4 interceptions. I would lean more into pressing in a game where he didn't know if his defense could slow the other teams offense. The is not an abnormal game for Goff. With time and a defense he can be really good. Put the weight most of the pressure on him and he usually come up hero or zero at seemingly equal rates.

"the refs had a questionable day because it's another day of football"

I really liked this quote. The refs will always be a point of contention but find a single game where the refs don't have some questionable to incorrect/missed calls. It always happens and it's very rarely the deciding factor in who wins the game.

Have you actually looked at the NFL rules? If a players helmet hits the QB’s helmet or face mask, the refs are going to call RP. The two Texans who collided with each other, above Mahomes, in real time(not in slow motion) it’s going to be called. Especially when the sound of the helmets colliding. For all the fans whose teams have been eliminated, I get it…blaming the refs is cathartic. It’s a lazy, but an effective way to justify why your team couldn’t play better than the refs occasional bad calls. Depending on the refs is like depending on a hot girl to ask you out

I’m not here to watch an officiating show. Do I agree with the roughing calls? No, but it’s a part of the game. Did it affect the outcome? You tell me. Houston only scored 12 points and were imploding from the opening kickoff.

The Chiefs fans get defensive because you always present it as a "Mahomes" problem. Then you come in with 3 seconds of "Oh yeah, sure, Allen does it too," but you only talk about the greater issue for Chiefs games and Mahomes. I just saw Hurts slide in the Eagles game and look for a flag, and I guarantee you that point will not come up in your Eagles/Rams breakdown later. I will not engage with rules talk until you do a whole segment and analyze every fucking quarterback in the NFL.

Sam, you rose to prominence on a platform that at least endeavored to quantify the game into empirical evidence. You're really going to go with "I don't know, I'm starting to think the Chiefs are favored by the refs" because of 2 calls in the first and third quarter of one game?

Here's another example of how bad broadcasting makes smart men stupid.

The reason that "if there is any contact at all" makes it unfixable is the same reason why about 1% of pass interference calls that were challenged that one year it was allowed were upheld. Because once there is any contact at all, it's a judgment call. "Forcible" is a judgment call.

Hey what did that super smart HC on the Rams decide about their $134 million QB after taking him to the SB? Oh yeah, forget this guy...Oh and remember the NFL Officials are an old retired lawyers club of amateurs that get little pay and no training/grading.

Mahomes is the James Hardin of the NFL

Fire Campbell

The PI call that mclaurin drew on 4th down? That was a HUGE call. A mahomesianesque flop of all time 😂. Smart play by scary terry, but that call was massive

The Washington Commanders are the best story in sports rn

What a shame to perpetuate ref narratives. Anti shouty show much ? Go look at Josh Allen’s highlights for RTP calls and flops. NFL officiating is terrible across the board, all eyes are on the chiefs though so it’s only them that benefit ? Dumb talk. Narrative fueled by hatred and jealousy. Be better!

Embarrassing coverage. Even the shouty shows wouldn't resort to this tin foil hat garbage. Its a fix because the texans scored checks notes 12 offensive points. Okay buddy

Arizona really chose Kyler over Kliff 😂

Mikah Parsons to the commanders this off season

Can we just be accurate? The first roughing the passer was 💯 correct. Anderson lead with the crown of the helmet and went into Mahomes’ face mask. Textbook penalty.

luvu didnt get lucky when he blew up goff, that was a clean block, goff was out there trying to make a tackle

Checking in one more time to pay the bills. 😢 🦁

How dare the refs make the Texans miss multiple kicks, get a kick blocked, and take 8 sacks.

Thank you for your comments on the pathetic officiating. I can guarantee you that if the Chiefs are in the Superbowl I will not be watching. To hell with the league protecting their 3-peat narrative.

Get the dumb bald guy off the show with his horrible wanna be intellectual takes. He’s so bad

Ah well, still pretty impressive we made it this far with so many injuries on defense but I wanted to believe they could have gone all the way in spite of that. Instead we'll be left wondering what could have been because that Lions team from like weeks 3-12 looked head and shoulders above every other team in the league

a lot of our key players will still be returning next year and surely we won't be so unlucky with injuries, but we'll have to wait to see how everything else shakes out especially with the coordinators.

Both bad roughing the passer calls looked like bad hits to the official, the first one Mahomes head snapped back and the second one the Texans lead with thier head and offical heard helmets smack, now it turned out that both were pretty soft in slo motion but from the offical who called it both looked like penalties in real time, stop with the conspiracy theories you look ridiculous

The 2010 super bowl champion packers had 13 players on IR

those two tacklers were trying to target mahomes head. good call

Thank you Sam for continuing to call out the ridiculous officiating policies of the NFL.

Don't forget the 8 sacks...

12 men on the field huge 4th down on the goal line

Jamo should've just tucked and run on the flea flicker

Goff was just off or late on a few costly throws

Terrible idea to blitz branch vs the trips stack on that rpo screen TD

Huge play to Brown that Joseph almost deflected

Almost huge TD to Jamo slightly over thrown

Onside kick was incredibly close

A bit of bad coaching and a few things that didn't go our way that's tough

There were two bad calls for Chiefs. That doesn’t explain the Texan loss. 8 sacks and great defense.

we dgaf about their injuries play better!

It’s funny how the chiefs have won so much even the media has gotten to the point where they can’t give objective analysis, you guys spent the entire time crying abt the chiefs getting calls but didn’t bring up any of the Texans questionable calls

It’s so funny how the supposed objective “non-shouty shows” have their takes so easily manipulated by Aikman whining in the booth.

1. There was obvious helmet to helmet contact on both RTP calls.

2. Mahomes didn’t flop right after the RTP call. It was several plays later.

3. Those penalties didn’t decide the game. Take out the points that were scored by the chiefs on the drives where those penalties happened. The Chiefs still win by one.

best analysis out there except whem you went conspiracy theory on offociating. amateur hour.

Injuries fell to a fantastic team, and the strategy was weak against Jayden. Showing Detroit has a weakness against legendary quarterbacks, oh no stop the presses.

Uninjured they shoot it out, injured they lost harder with either weak strategy or just the assets to even aggress such an excellent QB.

Jared, no excuses, he got beat.

1. Don’t lead with the helmet at the QB.
2. You talk the Chiefs and refs because it’s the Chiefs. All the dubious calls other teams get people don’t talk about
WHY? - because people don’t talk about losers - only make excuses for them.

Lions finding out what mcvay knew about Goff

Just on Fairbairn, saw people saying that he kicked that late attempt low cos of the wind taking the earlier missed kick wide right

The non-catch by Schultz that was ruled a catch for the Texans to sustain their drive was more egregious than guys getting called for actually hitting Mahomes in the helmet. Then Hollywood Brown gets hosed when he did catch the ball. The chiefs just deal with it.

You guys are morons!!!!

I generally love your commentary. Can’t believe you’re feeding the ref collusion bear. You guys are smart enough to discuss ref issues without dumbing down the whole analysis. I’m out.

Jaden will be entering herbert/stroud conversations

Bro the excuses for Detriot getting dissected is crazy work 😂😂😂 yall keep playing him like a scrambler he’s a PASSER 🤦🏿‍♂️🥶
