Truly amazing. You absolutely can’t under-throw this ball. Different game if CJ does the basic stuff here.

easily the worst pass of CJ’s career. my soul hurts from this image
QB coach needs to work overtime and fix his mental errors. Seems like the Bengals game all over again where he got careless with the ball.
Crazy things it’s not even a bad read it’s just a terrible ball. Also noticing he’s been very slow to throw away the ball and do too much in one play.
The reality is though that those 2 interceptions happened in the 3rd QTR. Goff threw 5 and yet the Lions still won. Texans just had nothing going on offense and that’s on Slowik
Everything with stroud is messed up right now. He can’t avoid sacks, isn’t throwing the ball away, is making questionable reads and seems off as a whole. You can point to drops and bad o-line play, but plays like this are why people have questions about what’s going on with him.
I just don’t get it. He wasn’t making these mistakes last year, so why now? I don’t think it’s just one thing but a multitude of things you can point to. But the bottom line is he’s underperformed and compounded errors with his offensive teammates and that leads to an offense that hasn’t scored a TD in the second half of a game in a month.
The problem here is he thought it was a busted play and tank was all alone, so he just floated the ball to him.
It’s a bone-headed mistake from a young qb, but a valuable lesson to learn that wide open in the NFL is never wide open for long. Stroud will learn and grow from this.
Notice the pass rusher coming at CJ with no OL in a mile of him?
CJ’s gotten nervous under pressure
Watching the replay he was looking left and was late seeing him.
He saw Tank late and never saw the DB. You can guarantee he won’t make that mistake again. For all the sky is falling nonsense, these plays and games are part of the journey for the greats. Not to ignore the red flags completely but we’re on the path to glory and I’m excited. Might not be this season (might be, we forget the NFL is a fickle bitch) but we have at least 5 years where can we expect to improve the roster, decision making and cohesiveness before the bill is due.
This is the throw that would have sealed the game. Would’ve been 30 – 13
Never thought Vegas actually had a hand in these games until that throw last night.
Probably the worst throw of his career. Didn’t set his feet at all and floated it to the moon. Concerning because these break downs in mechanics are something we have never really seen from him before the last few games
In almost the same spot with a defender in his face against the Cards last year. Difference is CJ rocketed the ball to him. Big time brain fart from CJ.
If he rockets the ball here, Tank could still drop it, but it’s an incomplete and we live to fight another down.
I was so stoked seeing Tank run that free in the end zone (my seats are in that end zone).
And then … tragedy.
FUCK.
This just shows you what CJ sees. A wide open player with no DB in sight. His biggest mistake was just lofting it up. A little zip on it easy TD.
Yeah Stroud just played poorly in the second half. He still has a bit of the yips, honestly. But we can still see the special talent and it’s only year 2 for him. His potential and ceiling are incredibly high. Just learn from nights like that one.
Would have sealed the game.
Yeah CJ sucked last night. He’ll bounce back
Man has been ass this season.
He should have held x instead of tapping.
I don’t think he was expecting him to be that wide open, he didn’t see anyone near him and lofted it to make it easier, safety just made a play.
This was not a mental mistake as everyone is claiming, it was the equivalent to an MLB ace donkey hanging an 0-2 slider against the 9 hole and getting a new ball from the ump, shit like that happens. CJ didn’t really misread shit because there wasn’t anything to read, 9 out of 10 varying types of minimally “ok” throws has that a TD, he hit on the 1 and knew he fucked up as soon as it left his hand, just hoped busted coverage had him covered. The soft and short ball that made his receiver stop his free-coasting jog route was not a thing of misaligned intentionality I can assure you, just the QB version of a hanger.
Give the defense some credit. Dude made a great play.
Back corner of the end zone pass isn’t caught, I truly think he just wanted to see his feet to deliver that pass after he found him deep, so he assessed the defense coming down on him and stopped, set his feet like a good qb does… and by that time the db was in route
Dude I was at the game and my seat was PERFECT for seeing Tank break open in real time… absolutely insane watching in person. Everyone in our area was screaming at CJ to throw it about a second and a half before he did
Probably one of the worst throws of CJ’s career. You know who’d be the first one to tell you that?
CJ.
Half ass throw by CJ. Guarantee he doesn’t do that ever again
That’s what I’ve been saying man. This loss was on CJ.. it sucks, but it is what it is. The team did enough to win the game, but CJ missed this throw. Worst throw of his entire career, easily
Would y’all be surprised if I told y’all he got the call from Vegas?
Fuckin’ Slowik
Too late and too much air under it. He knows it 😞
I was at the game, on that end and I was pointing and screaming at my friends that Tank was wide open. Crazy that the play ended in an interception.
I think the fanbase is starting to figure out that he is a bust. Take away Nico and he is exposed as one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Our best bet is to ride Mixon to a first round elimination and try to rebuild in the draft.
Not a Texans fan. Went to the game. Never seen a guy so open. He had soooo much time to do anything different. 99/100 plays that’s a TD.
That loss was so bad I ALMOST wore my Colts hat today
Hurts my soul
Sophomore slump is real. CJ is still great, but his game has dropped off his 2nd year. Some of it is because of defenses having film, but I also think some of it is because last year went so real it kinda got into his head and he isn’t as focused.
Or shit throw it out towards the sideline. Don’t let the safety be able to make a play on it.
Too much red lol
He wasn’t throwing it in that frame. He pumped.
I think the Texans should have changed the stand colors; damn all-red uniforms are like camo out there.
