00:00I got to be honest, Mike, all the talk about the Texans and I know they're 2 and 0 and

00:09I know they're off and running.

00:10I know they're in first and I know they're, you know, allegedly this really good team.

00:20And I think it's festered off of last year.

00:23They had such a great season and everything fell in place for them and for Stroud.

00:28And I do think Stroud is ultra talented.

00:31There's no doubt.

00:32I think Niko Collins, I think Diggs, they have a lot of talent and they have a defense,

00:38they have everything, good coaching, you name it.

00:40But they couldn't get rid of that team last night.

00:43After all that, you know, shenanigans of how great they are, like, I mean, these two, these

00:48two announcers last night and Collinsworth Christ, I mean, I thought I was in an orgy

00:52listening to this guy talk about how great they are and they had 19 points.

00:56Okay, so everyone needs to calm the F down and quit handing them the Super Bowl already.

01:01I think the overreaction to games to me is the thing that stands out most to me every

01:06week.

01:07It's like the Cowboys are finished, their season's over.

01:10The Texans are the greatest team on earth.

01:13Greatest team on earth scored 19 points.

01:16You know, the Bears, we can make fun of them all they want, but in the second half, they

01:20were in that game.

01:21They had every chance in the world to win that game and they didn't.

01:25But their defense is tough and I would agree with you in the break.

01:28You said, you know, Caleb Williams thought he was playing in a college football game,

01:31but let's calm down on, you know, hoisting trophies already for the Texans.

01:38If Stroud's that great, well, where was all the offense in the second half?

01:43I'm with you, actually, and it's a great point.

01:47You don't walk away from that game thinking, oh, man, this Texan team is so great.

01:51I didn't walk away from that game thinking that.

01:53And I was like, you know, I wanted that the game was so boring.

01:57I wanted to check out like halfway through the third quarter.

02:00Like I was trying, like I was dozing, but I couldn't because like Gabe, I had the Texans

02:05in the knockout.

02:06So I wanted to see it through because they couldn't put him away and they kept messing

02:10around with them.

02:11So it forced me to stay up and watch.

02:12I did not walk away impressed with Houston and they play the Vikings next week.

02:17So you got two 2-0 teams, Houston and Minnesota.

02:20That game's in mini, Scotty.

02:22So we'll see the Texans go on the road there.

02:25And the Vikings have played well, too, which we'll get to in a moment.

02:28Let's talk about Caleb Williams.

02:29Of course, they lose this game 19-13.

02:32Last week, Williams didn't have good stats and he turned the ball over.

02:36This week, Scotty, he didn't have good stats again, but he did turn the ball over.

02:40174, two interceptions he threw, both which were very costly.

02:46And the thing for me is, like I said to you in the break, it just seemed like he was kind

02:50of running all over the place, thinking that he was going to escape every rush and throw

02:54the ball 60 yards downfield and find some wide-open guy like he was playing at Washington

02:59State on a Saturday night in the Pac-12, and it just wasn't happening for him.

03:04Here is Caleb Williams.

03:06Not coming out with a win, not executing when we needed to as a team, myself throwing two

03:17interceptions.

03:18It's not something that I've done, something that I do is turn the ball over.

03:24It's not really, you know, my thing.

03:26So I think those things are probably the things that I'm most frustrated about.

03:35Here's a newsflash for you, kid.

03:37It's going to happen every week because this is pain day.
